Affiliate Movie Streaming Scam Service
Dear readers, I'm sharing some information here wondering if anyone can identify the criminal affiliate program at the root of this scam service. The scam begins with what seems to be an automated bot-response posted on Facebook. One of the outstanding questions -- can anyone identify a bot that is making these spammy posts?
