City Data Forums Fraudlulent Advertising

City Data advertises they have 1.5 million users. They use this to solicit businesses to advertise with them.

They do not have 1.5 million users. They allow users, to have multiple usernames. Each person may have 5 usernames, or more. I can prove it, with my own memberships. I have usernames of Howard555, Suenjohn, Janice35, Naeem5, Bethrowell and more. When it suits my purpose, I register a new username. If I am doing this, everyone is doing this.

If each person has 5 usernames, or more, then the site only has 300,000 users, not 1.5 million. This is fraudulent to the businesses that are paying to advertise, thinking they are reaching 1.5 million unique members.
