SMS fraud: the mafia is immortal
The journalist "Spark" made his own investigation of what happened in the winter on the VAS market and what are the real results. Let me remind you, the operators then blocked the numbers temporarily, turned on the cost notification and fined several aggregators, one of the messages here on Habré.
A source , a mirror against a habr-effect well and a few thoughts further.
From the quite understandable conclusions, it is clear that A1 (in particular, A1gregator ) is the market leader not only in operator ratings, but also in fraudulent traffic, which seems to be quite related concepts. They not only work with fraudsters, but also cover them, as evidenced not only by the article, but also by a number of messages from the “deceived” perlag partners, as well as forum searchengines . The fight against fraud is mythical, with the toughest moderation and certification of partners in the aggregator, weekly they report on blocking and fines to a dozen partners, even though it looks strange, either moderation is not performed, or you should write that “kickbacks” were received from 10 partners and don't call it fines. In general, the struggle of A1 with fraudsters is similar to the struggle of bees against honey.

But do not think that the rest of the white and fluffy, Incormedia, Aifri, Smsonline, Plastic Media, and indeed almost all the aggregators were seen in the presence of fraudulent sites on their numbers. But from the article itself it is clear that they go more about the perverted market, herdingly following the “leader”, accepting those who are not willing to pay arollback of the A1 penalty.
By the way, A1 not only reports weekly on the fight against fraudsters, writes silly articles on Habré ( 1 and 2 ), but also operatively “cooperates” with fighters for honesty, which is quite expressed in the text of this post , but that's what this cooperation is worth, because the mafia will not kill itself, it is immortal.
