So something I've noticed recently, is that some of the 'Tweets' for the stablebit giveaway seem to be from people with multiple accounts. Most of the tweets are from accounts with 0 followers, 0 following, and only tweet once a week for the contest.
Exhibit A
3 Accounts, named @555Helo, @helo3212 and @123helo2. All have 0 following and 0 followers, and no tweets other than entering the contest each week every week, within a few minutes of eachother, along with a dozen other accounts. I wouldn't be suprised if they are all the same person or bot, but the 3 helo's are obviously tied together.
Exhibit B
These same 3 accounts, all created and starting tweeting on the same day.
If you look at the tweet 'spread' It's pretty evenly spaced though-out the week, normally 4-6 tweets a day spread out. But taking a look at the tweets from this morning show a different story, 14 tweets, between 9:14AM and 9:20AM, all from 'suspicious' accounts, only two of these have accounts have any following or followers (@A_steelbourne with 1 follower and @pittsa with 1 follower and 3 following). Obviously someone is trying to game the system, I wouldn't be that surprised if it is just one person with 14 accounts given the proximity of the tweeting times. Is there any verification with the giveaway that the accounts are real? I think the giveaway is a fantastic Idea, to get exposure for stablebit while letting people have a chance to receive keys, but this abuse seems pretty bad.
Thanks for reading this!
