Scam Alert 🚨
I decided to purchase an Instagram celebrity campaign and paid $895. The campaign was advertised as bringing 10,000–15,000 new followers through two influencers based in Los Angeles.
After almost two weeks of delay, the campaign finally started. Right before the posting went live, I received an email offering a “last minute deal” for $199 for essentially the same campaign I had originally paid $895 for. That alone already made me very skeptical.
The biggest issue, however, is the followers. In my experience, these appear to be mostly fake followers that anyone could buy online for just a few dollars. I checked the influencers’ posts and noticed that none of the people commenting there actually followed me. Most of the followers coming to my profile were from countries like Madagascar and Ukraine, even though the influencers are supposedly based in Los Angeles.
I also could not find a single new follower who actually follows any of the three “influencers.” Looking at the giveaway comments showed the same pattern: none of the participants commenting on the giveaway seemed to follow my profile either.
On top of that, there was basically no increase in story views or real engagement. At the time of writing this review, the campaign has been running for about 4 hours and I have received almost 1,500 obviously fake followers — nothing more.
In my opinion, this feels like a complete scam, and I would strongly advise others to be very careful before spending money on these campaigns.
