F1Funds spammers (Twitter) Update 1

Edit note: We have been adding new spam accounts to this list as they are discovered. The newest accounts are always added to the top of the list.

These accounts have been mass-following thousands of users and pushing a pair of URLs (F1Funds and successmasterminds) where they promise you will earn enough so you can retire young and rich in Hawaii.

joemann spammers (Twitter)

This is a set of related accounts that are interchangeably pushing the same set of affiliate marketing links, all of which end with "joemann777"

One of the accounts has started to show signs of mass-following other users, and I expect it's just a matter of time before the others do so as well.

Clickaudit spammers (Twitter)

A set of related accounts all pushing links from the same domain, and all following thousands of users. A few already show signs of starting to mass-follow people.

Interestingly, there is another Twitter account that appears to be from clickaudit themselves.

They are asking that any spammy clickaudit Twitter accounts be reported to them so they can disable the links on their side.
