[LIST] ANN threads that are using bumping services

Something suspicious has been going on in this thread in Gambling Board: Coinslotty.com | Up to 20% Cashbacks | Crypto casino | Multi currency wallet

Several newbie accounts have been bumping the thread over the past few months (from the very beginning) with mostly useless one-line comments or questions about casino. Especially suspicious is that all of these accounts began posting exclusively in Coinslotty thread after an extended period of inactivity in their posting history.

List of suspected accounts:

As GamblingBro noticed first, I also believe the casino has hired a bumping service or bought some old accounts that are being used to create fake activity in their ANN thread.

Yep, no doubts that those are sock puppet accounts whose only purpose is to fake interest in Coinslotty thread. The only question is whether they hired bumping service or are they are doing it by themselves. Using very old accounts is Vitor Services ( who is behind the biggest thread bumping service) M.O, but they are usually active in other threads as well, and not only one like in this case.

Gonna tag those sock puppet accounts and lets see if they bring more.

In the process of cleaning it up. Their posts were very low quality, generic questions, and all basically have only posted in this thread recently. They also strategically answered each other, i.e waiting 10-20 minutes to assure that the thread stayed near the top of the section. Also, taking a further look, they all woke up around the same time, and also changed their passwords around the same time. I suspect these were either compromised around the same time. However, quite clearly owned by the same person/group. If they've been compromised like I suspect, I imagine this is a bumping group which advertises they bump via aged accounts.

Interesting, they have their own website dedicated to this sort of service, they're probably raking in the money, yet most bumping services (pretty much every single one of them) are of such low quality, that they're usually obvious. These guys are not only neglecting the forum rules, they're likely doing this other places, so they have a complete disregard for other communities, but are getting paid pretty sweetly, and doing the bare minimum of effort.

I didn't realise we had already got to the stage of people creating their own website with fancy wording for fake conversations.

My guesstimate is that they are responsible for at least 90% of the thread bumping on bitcointalk in the last couple of years (nutildah was the first who identified them back in 2019), basically having monopoly on this.

They are doing the same thing on every possible platforms, from reddit and and Facebook to LinkedIn and Medium. You can check full overview here.

Yeah, gotta appear as professional as possible to attract the clients.

Well, funny you should say that, because these were oddly reminiscent of the ones I see over at the Altcoin section. So, you might be onto something there. I've never really taken a look at where they're coming from, but they use the same techniques, same patterns, and well could well be the case that they have a monopoly over this forum in the bumping department anyway.

I've asked another member of staff to take a look into this in more detail, but I've cleaned up the majority. Just need to clean up the replies to the now deleted posts.

RaiseX: Daily signal for trading, access to the VIP club of traders is using bumping service account to create fake engagement in their thread.

Now given that trading signal groups are usually scamming, most people will definitely ignore RaiseX, but it's good to identify their bumping service accounts for future reference
