Autodetect scams

[DanWin]

Bot idea:

• Run once a day
• Scan only 3 files to detect

How:

1. scan /(account holder)/www/index.php and /www/index.htm, /www/index.html
2. Scan for word: === for sale purchase via order form by bitcoin dollar ===
3. If these words are found in files, send email() to your account with account details, so you can take a look later.

but there are also other shops there are no scam, so how would this work ?

@DanWin How would you like to implement this? (technically)

@Nimbz Its possible, you can just make something like web-spider and make link-map of the website, then load html of that url's and scan it (for words in wordlist)

I think that detection with words is not good. You can't really know word meaning without context.

What if a site contains, for example, "You can pay by bitcoin on many web shops"? It's not related to this site, but it would still be detected.

Also, what if the real scam site uses "by bitc0in". Users would still be able to understand this, but detection won't.

Unfortunately, proper automatic spam detection is very hard to do.
