If you've ever been on there, this isn't news. I had to report a guy that was trying to eat through a competitor's adsense budget. Paying for social bookmarking is not really fraudulent compared to that

mTurk's a bit pointless for Brits. Whilst we can use it and earn an Amazon gift balance, we can only spend that on US Amazon (meaning pretty books only, with expensive airmail). It's low paying anyway. I imagine mTurk would be a good way to launder money, too! Albeit at $0.01 at a time! and @SEO Blog: I expect bots will pick that up, human entries from established users look more genuine.
