One of the leading services targeted by account generation farms to launch spam.



Go on, tell me how you send spam e-mail through Google+.


1. Post in public groups 2. Comment on popular posts. 3. Comment on popular pages and accounts. 4. Spam hashtags Enough?


Sure, Gmail was the target. Google's approach to verification was formed before G+ existed, though it's been tweaked since.

They're unlikely to reinvent account verification from scratch for each of their products though.
