Can I Discuss E-whoring Here?

E-Whores get paid in gift cards. at least the professional ones. than flip the gift card for extra layer of security. (hence why you can find bargains for giftcards if you just look, but with BTC, you will find the best deals, lol)
 
Today I learn that e-whoring is a thing. I mean it makes sense, but I would not have expected it to be as big as it is. Catfishing.
 
Pretty ironic that "e-whoring" is banned but many methods here do involve a misrepresentation just without the term "e-whoring". However I do like the fact that it's banned here because many people in this huge niche are scamming and doing illegal stuff. Thank you!
 
Damn.
Today I learned so much about the outside world! :anyway:
 
Interesting points. I always knew there were dudes out there pretending to be chicks to scam them, nice to know the official term. PVA and cookie stuffing were interesting to learn about, I wonder how often cookie stuffing still occurs and how often people get caught. Good to know all right/wrong ways to go about things just to get more ideas
 
So this is b
So, the jist of “cookie stuffing” is this:

With cookie stuffing, while publisher X sends visitors to Amazon, a separate publisher actually gets credit — and hence money — for the sale. They do this by dropping multiple cookies after someone views a page or clicks on a single link. The hope is that dropping multiple cookies increases the chance that the person will go on to visit and buy from one of the commerce sites in question.

Soooo, basically it’s not only illegal but a d*ck move.

Here’s the jist on “PVA:”

Essentially, “PVA” means Phone Verified Account(s), and these accounts typically reside on Facebook. I believe the OP is referencing the black hat method of using fake PVA accounts to spam affiliate links, or access groups and other areas that are restricted to non-PVA accounts.

Why is this important? And why is it frowned upon?

Generally speaking, these accounts are either stolen from a real individual or set up with fake information as a “proxy” or “burner” account. These accounts and use of them permit a less than ethical marketer to spam their links without risking their personal account/email being banned. This causes issues for the entire industry, as it makes affiliate marketing look like a SCAM of sorts. Furthermore, it is a slap in the face(and wallet) to affiliate marketers that put in the proper time and effort to build their business.


So this is black hat, but not THAT black hat. I feel like im in hogwarts and that pink loving professor woman took over.
 
I just learned so many new terms! I didn't even know people would do that or even that people would fall for a fake girl video
 
I'm hoping someone can clarify something about the PVA rule.

I have heard many marketers out there talking about either purchasing multiple PVA accounts from a service provider, or buying several SIM cards and signing up for "burner" G accounts in order to do mass cold email for prospecting. This is paired with rotating proxies and rotating accounts frequently in order to prevent detection and is typically performed by VA's who are doing the cold email outreach on behalf of the marketer. Once a prospect responds, they are added as a contact to a CRM to continue the conversation... Is that method what the PVA rule is referring too?
