Fake Market on Twitter
According to research by two security experts, Andrea Stroppa and Carlo De Micheli, fake accounts on Twitter have reached 20 million. Although there are programs to distinguish fake accounts from real ones, as Twitter spokesperson Jim Prosser stated, it has become very difficult to differentiate the real from the fake as fake account owners continuously improve themselves.
Thanks to the software developed by fake account owners to fill in their private fields and all kinds of information; fake accounts now look more realistic than real ones, and it's impossible to even suspect, let alone distinguish them.
So why are these fake accounts created? If you do a little research; you are likely to encounter people asking for $18 for 1000 followers; $9 for 5 re-tweets per day.
