These aren't exactly brand new--most are just adaptations of existing scams on other networks/platforms: The first involves phishing for twitter accounts and the other are fake viral tests: http://blog.siliconedge.co.uk/post/N...he-Rounds.aspx

I can't believe anyone falls for crap like this anymore...these are the same kinds of scams that have been around for well over a decade now. Are people just getting that much dumber these days or what?

Twitter is not exactly raising the intelligence factor of the internet

Funny how nefarious and complicated they make the simple spamming of PIN submits sound. Spamming twitter is uber fucking easy...

I'm sure that mobile SMS scam will do well for some affiliates... but scamming is almost a full time job in itself... it takes a lot of time to set it all up... and then set it all up again once your original links get killed. Meh seems so time consuming, I don't know how it could be so profitable.
