OFF TOPIC

Hello Warriors,

I was reading a news article a few minutes ago and as I like to do I was reading the comments at the bottom.

I spotted one that seemed out of place. It was a Facebook profile that was obviously fake. I always click these to see what I can learn.

Here is the article with the comment: CIA, Pentagon fight to keep Osama bin Laden death photos secret - Josh Gerstein - POLITICO.com

Here is the Facebook profile (it is easy to see how I knew it was fake): Ciuba Abdul | Facebook

Here is the link that was on the Facebook profile:ExposingTheCoup

At first I thought, "Wow this is brilliant. You create an eye catching Facebook profile, find a high traffic news report and make a comment. Millions will see it. Then on the Facebook you have a link to a sales page of some sort."

Now...I still think that is a BRILLIANT tactic. But, once you get to the sales page it is a long conspiracy story about IM gurus being terrorists!

"OK, OK" I thought "I bet there are affiliate links all through the copy."

Nope...wrong again. It seems there is no money making reason they have used this tactic.

So, I thought I would share it here and see what we can learn.

Any thoughts about what their goal might be?

lol wtf? terrorists?

what a joke... I'm gonna check out that page and see whats up

I've just learned there's a huge market for conspiracy nuts who are willing to pay to feed their sickness.

OH MY GOD IT ALL MAKES PERFECT SENSE.

I couldn't help but laugh at the photos, really hope this person is on a massive wind up but that amount of time that's gone into suggests against that.

Yeah it is funny. And ridiculous.

But it all seems so pointless. A lot of effort for nothing? They posted the comment today so I know it isn't something old.

Maybe they will see a lot of visits from Wariorforum and come explain it. LOL...they will probably yell at me for outing their campaign.

  Yes that is obvious...but there is not one affiliate link or promotion on that page. How are they earning money?

Don't think they are trying to make money...at least not yet.
Can always add links.

That seems more like it might be a real paraschizo.
I remember one a few years ago..5 or 6 maybe, used to leave comments everywhere about the FBI...can't remember what about, but the same story, different words, and he was serious.

Nice picture of Lucy Pinder though.
