There's an entire thriving "ecosystem" devoted to these sort of "deals," the sort of thing that in a different context might just be called a "crime ring." It's a profitable network, at least for the people at the top

lesenswerter Artikel, in Englisch.

Es geht darum, dass sich immer mehr Abzockfallen in Sozialen Netzwerken tummeln. Grundlage des Artikels war ein vorangegangener Artikel, der deutliche Worte zu der Frage fand, warum Facebook und andere eigentlich nichts gegen den Wildwuchs an Abzocke tun:

There can be only one reason Facebook and MySpace turn a blind eye to user protection – they’re getting such a huge cut of revenue back from these developers in advertising. If they turn off the spigot, they hurt themselves.

Inevitable Class Action Suit Goes After Facebook Scammers

November 13th, 200

This was an inevitable suit although this really appears to simply be a law firm looking to profit from all of the scams. Named in the class action suit are the following companies, ......:
Zynga
RockYou
Offerpal Media
Super Rewards
Tatto Media
Double Ding
Gambit
SendMe Mobile
Video Professor
Facebook
MySpace
It’s clear that the law firm behind this has only begun its investigation into the practices of the listed companies as they are missing a number of organizations who were so aggressive that they participated in fraudulent activity.
