I'm assuming this is just a way to get the bogus phone numbers "out there" so they can be picked up by search engines.  Then when someone calls, the "helpful" person on the other end will email them a convenient link [to malware] they can click on to "submit" their information to Quickbooks, Amtrak, JetBlue, etc.

The barn door has been wide open long enough that most of us have stopped bothering to ask for a lock on the door.  AFAIK anyone can create a new account and immediately post with no moderation.  Every other tax forum I'm on has some sort of front-end verification (either that you're a client of the software vendor or that you're a tax professional) or at the very least a short period where a moderator must approve new posts from new users.

But I think they would sell more tickets if the flights/trains took you to see the Mumbai dancing girls.
