Got up today to boot up the operation, got sweeped across 5 different IP's. No biggy, planned to spend the rest of the day rebuilding since this hasn't happened before and my process is pretty streamlined these days.
When I'm making accounts to use I register with the old blabla+1.... blabla+2 to save some time, even though registering accounts with confirmation (arguably) doesn't matter, I do it anyway for extra peace of mind.
In doing so, I have a large excess of lvl 3 handmade accs that I leave stewing for on average ~2 weeks before I even use them. So I'll pick from these at random, usually by creation date to use the oldest before I pick the next newest and so on, simple right.
To my surprise, a couple of these accounts have been banned before they even did anything (literally nothing lol).
This was because (I assume) someone intentionally searched the additions to this email by the numbers. I only make 4 or 5 per email and adding numbers, so this was pretty odd.
Can I assume that some fucker actually went through that much effort?
- I've never actually been sweeped across ALL my proxies in one night, usually it's just a stray few across the board.
- These accounts were doing nothing and had never ever been touched by any automated process, all hand-done by a human.
Thoughts? Anyone had this happen to them? Makes me think they're really ramping up their processes to crack down on these things.
Nonetheless, word to the wise, you're never safe, even the virgins.
Edit: Shit just got weirder.
I double checked the ban dates on these accounts, of which there are 6 so far. They all stem from 18th Dec, the same day or the day after they were created. I did tutorial island on these using OSBuddy and received this message in my account section as the evidence:
WTF?
These were all accounts that went from +2/+3/+4. The +1 in two cases had been botting P2P for the last week and it wasn't hit with the same thing.
I'm so lost, if it were something that could be appealed, I actually should lmfao.
