Click Fraud
As the competition for internet ranking and presence becomes more heated, people and organizations are resorting to drastic measures to assure their dominance in cyberspace.
I was recently reading an article where 500 plus cellphones and 350,000 SIM cards along with 9 computers were being used in a click fraud scheme. Three Chinese nationals working in Thailand were perpetrating the click fraud on WeChat which is a Chinese social network.
WeChat denied being complicit in this scheme, but the article stated that WeChat's parent company had declined comment.
It seems that, when it comes to the internet, scams are everywhere.
Fortunately, deceit will not stand up to the light of day. Illicit activity has a way of surfacing sooner or later.
Anyway, I thought I would share this bit of info with you. Have a great weekend.

Thanks Pablo for sharing this post with us. I read about that story too. One one hand I admire the ingenuity of this guys. On the other hand I'm happy they were caught.
One thing is for sure: The internet is a minefield of scams!
You are right, Eric. There is no substitute for perseverance and hard work. Have a great weekend.
In the 17 years I have been working on the Internet I have seen a ton of scams. About the time you figure one out they invent another one. It is like a minefield out there.
That is one of the reasons this community and the training is so beneficial to help us keep out of some of them.
Even though the Internet is loaded with scams it is still worth it and it is still today one of the best places to build a life changing income.
I agree with you. Great community. We have to be careful. The internet is both a minefield and a gold mine. Have a good one
Thank so much Pablo for your advice, I agree with you that scams are everywhere so are hackers. So we have to be extra careful.
There is so much competition out there they will do anything.
Exactly right on how the truth always comes out, it's just a matter of time.
