There are plenty of people creating fake profiles to generate PG scam sales, but the idea that AW are doing it themselves doesn't wash.
But to get the money from AW for PG sales, you first have to verify yourself.
I did some tests a little while back (mentioned in the scamming thread). I created a couple of fake female profiles using fake photos that are already in circulation on AW. I also included a few of those photos in a PG. Before I could do anything with the piddling amount of money it made (£1.20 IIRC) AW asked me to verify myself before I could use the credits to look at another fake PG. Also to extract any money from AW, you have to have a minimum amount of credit. I think it used to be £50. Of which AW then take a third of that for handling charges.
Basically you've got different fakers on AW.
Those who use fake photos and include a phone number. Basically bait and switch. They don't care about making any money out of AW. All they're using AW for is cheap advertising. They don't care if another account has to be created every day.
It's a waste of time for anyone to create a fake account to try and make any money from it. See above. That being the case, then why do the same fake photos keep appearing time and time again, in a different location to the previous fake account?
The only logical answer is AW are creating them, because at the end of the day they're the only ones who are able to make money from them.
Are you able to come up with another theory, because several of us have already put our heads together and that's the only answer we can come up with.
