fraud: Modus Operandi

Last month (November 2023), I had noticed something.
This post https://twitter.com/ms_kaffeinated/status/1721618529836028072 had about 15 lakh hits.

Now (December 2023) https://twitter.com/ms_kaffeinated/status/1721618529836028072 the traction is doubled.

Simple yet effective bait, in my view.

The supplementary post https://twitter.com/ms_kaffeinated/status/1721951876458135844 get up the engagement.

‎In the direct messages, innocuous request/demand is made.. for the prospective 'one night stander' (donor) to take an ancestry test.

⚠️The link of the DNA testing site, is 😄a referral😆 link.⚠️

Now assuming that the initial conversion rate is even half a percent..
Out of the 20 lakh plus views, maybe even 10000 people DM'ed him/her.

Out of those 10000, even if few people took the DNA test 𝐕𝐈𝐀 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐑𝐄𝐅𝐄𝐑𝐑𝐀𝐋 𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐊/𝐒
it still gives a no strings attached (𝒉𝒆𝒆𝒏𝒂 𝒍𝒂𝒈𝒆𝒚 𝒏𝒏 𝒑𝒉𝒊𝒕𝒌𝒂𝒓𝒊, 𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒈 𝒃𝒉𝒊 𝒄𝒉𝒉𝒐𝒌𝒉𝒂 𝒂𝒂𝒚𝒆) referral income, courtesy those who are salivating to boink the non-existent Elizabeth.


And obviously, in the end https://www.spiegl.org/humor/jokes/donkey.html
the chapter is conveniently closed with the entry of another non-existent character.

Practically a con job!
But technically no easy way to pin the fraud/scam.
