'Get Justin Bieber to Follow You' Tweets Promote Scammer's Website

It appears there’s a never-ending list of die-hard Justin Bieber fans that are hoping their beloved singer starts following them on Twitter.

As a result, Justin Bieber fans have taken to tweeting messages non-stop that are supposedly going to reveal the big secret as to how you can get Justin Bieber to start following you:

Tweets Promoting the Justin Bieber Scammers Website

Although the short URLs vary, they all lead to free-iphone4s[dot]info, which presents this rather interesting website:

Justin Bieber Tweet Spam WebsiteWhile this website appears relatively innocent in nature, what some of you may not realize is that this website is actually registered to the SAME PERSON who owned the domains that were recently involved in a Justin Bieber Twitter scam.

That scam tricked users into handing their cellphone numbers with an “IQ Challenge” quiz in order to get a special password that would reveal the secret to getting Justin Bieber to follow you.

Instead of getting that password – or the “secret” (which I suspect there isn’t one) – users found themselves signed up for a mobile content subscription that charged anywhere from $10-20/month!

That scam used the urls justiner[dot]info and sobieber[dot]info. WHOIS domain lookups reveal that the domains are registered to James Lucero, who also owns free-iphone4s[dot]com.

So what’s the deal with the new website?

Well, simply visiting this website is earning this scammer money.

As you can see, the website is decorated with multiple advertisement banners. Those banners pay on a CPM level – meaning that the website owner is paid per thousand impressions.

More visitors = more impressions. Get where I’m going with this?

Furthermore, nothing helpful is even offered in terms of how to get Justin Bieber to follow you on Twitter. Here’s the content off the website:

In fact, Justin Bieber wants to follow every single fan of his. but it is too hard  to do so because of the large number of fans.  You probably notice that, there are some accounts without imagies among whom.  Justin Bieber followed. Why can’t you be one of them?  Actually, he will add friends only when he's availible, but not everytime.   You know, he got so many fans. How do I get Justin Bieber to follow me?   Let me tell you something about that:

Well, we all know that it’s impossible for him to check out your name and then find you out to add you. He will probably just see the first few pages and notice the one who left him a large number of messages.  So, if you really want to, all you have to do is to seize the right moment, for example, the time when he just updates his twitter, then immediately leave him messages. But I gotta say that it depends on the luck. You’d better keep leaving him messages to attract his attention, maybe you need a luck!  But this method is difficult to implement.

Okay, This is just our experience. In fact, it takes time for us to make it. Attention: Suggestions here to help you make Justin Bieber follow you are for reference only. Good luck!
