Everyone wants to believe that the internet is a safe and secure system, but it’s always a good idea to check the facts and keep an eye out for frauds, which are on the rise now more than ever.
The History
Scamming is something that is all around us. Although, the Bot scam hasn’t been around forever. Some sources say it started sometime around the early 2000s, and some say it originated even before that.
For example, before 2006, most mentions of click fraud (one of the main types of bot scams) were related to hosting advertising on low-quality sites and then mass-clicking them to receive the reward. This was usually pretty simple, with fake publishers signing up for Google AdSense on their low-quality sites and then clicking the advertisements themselves or hiring someone to do it for them.
Also, there are references to bots clicking on these adverts as early as 2003; however, much of the information is based on assumptions and incomplete research. As a result, Google formed a specialized team to combat click and ad fraud, understanding there was a significant problem. Competitor click fraud has been a concern since the beginning of pay-per-click, and the practice is now widespread. As a result, it was only a matter of time before click bots increased and became a more significant issue.
The Current Times
Many botnets, in fact, operate under the radar, snatching a few dollars here and there for minor operators. Because of their size, these high-profile ad click bots made news, but most botnets don’t have a name or even run long enough for investigators to identify them.
Simply put, ad fraud isn’t going away anytime soon since it’s much too easy for certain unscrupulous developers to pull off. For example, click fraud by apps and software continues to be a problem for marketers, with no end in sight despite various initiatives to address the issue. These click bots are capable of committing massive amounts of fraud in a short period, with even short-term ad fraud campaigns raking in hundreds of thousands of dollars. It’s often a case of catching up for marketers trying to stop phony interaction from click bots.
Types Of Bot Scams
Mobile Fraud Bots
Mobile fraud bots can run on real mobile devices, but they usually run on servers, simulating certain functions like ad clicks, installs, and in-app engagement while impersonating legitimate users.
For example, malware on a user’s cellphone is the perfect example of a mobile fraud bot. These malware programs seek to generate phony ad impressions, fraudulent clicks, and in-app interactions and may even result in unauthorized in-app payments.
Click Bots
Click bots can be used to do simple things like click buttons, leave comments (spambots), and browse websites (bot traffic). However, developers are progressively developing more sophisticated bots that can do more complex jobs and even imitate real-world human behavior online. This can involve browsing a website, adding products to shopping carts, conversing in live streams, filling out forms, and downloading files.
Trading Bots
Trading bots are self-executing trading systems that use artificial intelligence and pre-programmed trading instructions to execute deals.
They can be semi-automatic or completely automated. Semi-automated trading refers to when trading bots take over only a few limited tasks, which must then be confirmed manually by a human trader. Trading bots in fully automated mode trade autonomously, without the need for permissions or human participation. Depending on the quality of its programming, this poses both risks and opportunities. A trading bot never sleeps in semi-automatic or wholly automated mode. It allows you to trade cryptocurrencies and other assets around the clock, seven days a week. Trading bots can result in large profits, and traders do not need any prior experience to employ them. A rudimentary understanding of bitcoin markets is required, though.
Now, How Are These Trading Bots Related To Scams?
This is a classic example of a crypto trading bot scam that preys on the inexperience of newcomers to the cryptocurrency market. Fraudsters take advantage of their investors’ lack of trading experience by relying entirely on their trading bots. In some situations, con artists may even contact their victims through phone calls or spam emails. The phone contact is being used to put even more pressure on people to deposit money promptly in exchange for attractive returns.
