Active Mailorder is one of the largest skateboard-related mailorder sites on the web, so chances are you’ve seen them advertised on the web or in your favorite skate mag.

Now I don’t know if they’re hurting for business, but they sure have become desperate. One of their employees has been visiting random web forums, posing as “pajansmith333″, and posting the following:

Active Mailorder has the best deals!
Man I just bought some shoes from Active Mailorder for super cheap! I also saw some good deals on tee’s, I wish I had some more cash!

As far as I can tell, they’ve hit Thrasher, Slap (registration required), and Skateboard City.

It just so happens that I’m a moderator at Thrasher, and as you can see in the Thrasher link above, I found out that the IP address he was posting from (66.146.54.36) came from the same network that Active’s website is on (the site’s IP is 66.146.54.196)… that means that he was doing this from inside the offices of Active.

I’ve mentioned mail order companies before, but this is proof positive… these scumbags will do anything for money. Never trust anyone that’s willing to lie to you just to make a buck.

You’ve seen this pic before, but I’m putting it up again:

If you live in a town with a skater owned skateshop, go there and give them some love.

Oh yeah…
They hit Skater’s Cafe as well.
