there are boards other than GreenguyAndJim.com? whoa. I need to get out more.
About a month ago I shut down a ring of fraudsters around Montreal. 52 separate accounts, all with reasonable looking ratios. Not much similarity between them other than being a cluster of decent webmasters in a 25 mile radius. They used proxy servers, fake domains, ran traffic through the site, 2nd page & join page hits -- they knew what they were doing. Their ratios looked believable -- not exceptional, just average. There was always a question whether it was legit in the back of my mind -- the client opted to say they were real -- Until the chargebacks started coming in.
Now after learning how it works, its easy to spot the pattern. I just need to automate it.
