Twitter has done a good job with certain types of invasive spam. It actually was getting out of control a few months ago. But where corruption can occur, corruption will occur. It seems impossible to beat these folks with the amount of resources they are plowing into these scams.

At some point, people will stop clicking on the teeth thing but some3thing will surely take their place. Tighter tummies or fatter lips or something. : (

Thanks for bring this whole whitening madness to light. What I’m a little confused about, though, is how this hasn’t all been shut down already or at least attempts made to do so. Or are we charting on international waters here?

There’s still loads of RECENT tweets for the “teeth whitening” scam. Seems like it’s growing by the second!

Mark,

I’ve been following this scam for a while since one of my clients is a dentist.

In fact, consumers need to be careful about who performs their teeth whitening as low-cost mall kiosks are also problematic.

Here is a news story on the topic (full disclosure — it features my client): http://www.thebostonchannel.com/health/21677013/detail.html
