Shill,,,,,,,,,,,,,
A shill is an associate of a person selling goods or services(Helis), who pretends to have no association to the seller/group and assumes the air of an enthusiastic customer. The intention of the shill is, using crowd psychology, to encourage others unaware of the set-up to purchase said goods or services (Helis) or support the group's ideological claims.
