Yep. The internet business is full of tukhta.
Another thing I've seen is a company will buy another company (either a media conglomerate buying another, or a webhost buying another) and they will find out after the puruchase that many of the "active accounts" aren't actually active. They are customers/viewers who haven't shown any activity in months or years. But they're "active" because they still have an account or profile. Riiiiight.
