That tool was made by this mafia member:
memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=93180He quit IMVU though, almost 2 full years ago. If I remember right, the tool stopped working, and having to provide customer support / updates was overwhelming him ... so he gave up and quit.
He also use to sell it on this site:
https://www.nulled.to/user/1228445-anti ... but on that site he has a message up saying he no longer sells programs. Like I said ... when it came to customer service and software maintenance, he just couldn't cut it.
The program was a bot that accepted a list of dummy account names / passwords, as well as a list of proxies, and a PID. Then it logged into each account one at a time, and purchased the product with the given PID, followed by reviewing the product and giving it a perfect rating ... till the product reached the front page. Between each purchase, it rotated proxy servers. So, the software only worked if you owned a shit ton of IMVU accounts and had access to a bunch of proxy servers. Once the product was on the front page, you naturally started to make a bunch of normal sales / profit. (at least, that's how it worked till it broke down) I think IMVU staff patched the product purchase API's to block the bot.
