Buyer Beware: Magic Social, Social Steeze, LikeSocial, Social10x

Hey everyone,

Just a warning to potential buyers that companies Magic Social, Social Steeze, LikeSocial, Social10x and Rise Social all are found to be operating through one singular company in New Zealand: Series Next Limited.

They sell fake Instagram followers marketed as a “growth” service online, by running IG accounts through a bot which can get you banned. There have been a bunch of fake review sites made by them such as JonathanSpire .com and other sites like TrustAdvisor, selectedbest, income artist etc. There also seems to be a suspicious amount of paid TrustPilot reviews on all these websites, and they report any bad reviews from legitimate customers.

The company has a strategy of buying existing blogs and then using them to pump out fake reviews of their services so people think they will gain legitimate growth on them. They also seem to slander their competitors so they rank for search terms associated with more popular companies, and then steal their customers too.

If you have any experiences with these companies, let us know in the replies. They are selling snake oil and using sketchy fake review tactics to do it.

Buyer Beware……Social Media Management Services

My company recently reached out Social Steeze to help manage our IG account. Unfortunately, growth seen was negligible especially with such loud claims. So we discontinued. Then went back to this “credible source/blog” for the next best IG management service aka Rise Social. According to their ratings, of course!

First alarm went off when Rise Social had EXACTLY the same welcome introduction as Social Steeze (right down to the font :unamused: )

We proceeded to ask if they were the same or linked and they claimed they were “sister companies”. Riiiiiiiight!

Long story short, time to pay and user has same PayPal account and worse off, terrible targeting. Non english speaking accounts. Cammmmaannnn.

I went back to leave a review on this “credible source/blog” saying both services were the same and that seemed like fraud to me. No one is against you deciding to multiply your services but at least BE HONEST. Oh guess what, that review was never approved. :rofl::joy::sneezing_face:

Please beware should you choose to use either services above and I would love to know your experience if you have used them.

Cheers
