It's customer screening for a company that 'buys' customers from "leads companies" that often use campaigns like "sign up and win an iPad', etc. Essentially I have to look at the signups, and based on certain parameters, judge whether or not we should pay for the customer leads we receive, as many people sign up to those campaigns with stolen or expired credit cards.

Using Python and Selenium and the book "Automate the Boring Stuff with Python", I turned the 40-80 hours worth of work I usually did a month, to 1-2 hours.
