I've worked at places that had to implement policies limiting features for a while because scammers would use credit cards that would turn out to be fraudulent. I don't know the details of how they worked it out, but they could sign up, send SPAM via us, and then the account would get shut down a week later (and we'd get a huge hit to our deliverability because of their SPAM).

>I'm not saying that Twitter won't take steps to prevent this. I'm just saying that there are a lot of scams that are worth more than $8/mo. In this situation it's $8 just to attempt to scam someone. Every time you fail you pay again. It actually should incentivize Twitter to improve their scammer-catching algorithms/systems-- at $8 per offender that's not a bad payout at all.
