Title: Twitter Crypto Shill Networks Exposed
Post by: murderouskirk on August 11, 2015, 08:19:46 PM
Hey guys.

So I'm consistently getting spam messages from a network of crypto shills trying to get me to buy followers. They appear to be shilling coins and spamming giveaways so I thought I'd post them here so people can block / mute / report as they feel necessary.

All of these are shills from http://followback.info/. I would STRONGLY suggest avoiding even visiting the site as google shows warnings. They basically trick people into giving them full permission then use it to spam and shill. I know he has control over a ton more, but these are just the ones that have DM'd me. I'm pretty sure this one guy has 200+ accounts to work with.

If anyone knows of any other shill networks I'd be happy to update this post with them.

Added some more to the list, I'm still getting hit with spam DM's. Will keep updating as they come in.

wait...so how do you know they're shills and not just marketing their website trying to get people to buy followers?

Because if you look in their feeds they all talk about the same cryptos when they do post. They RT tweets for the coins they mentioned in their own tweets. And they RT giveaway tweets all replying with different addresses for claim. Usually 100 - 200 RT's per giveaway post.

It's just one guy shilling for hundreds of claims on giveaway posts and bombing inboxes with "buy my followers!".

It's not that huge of a deal. It's just annoying when he blows up your phone with the same DM over and over, and can be good to have a list of shills to check from when running twitter giveaways.
