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

GERONA IS TARLAC’S ‘BEST PERFORMING LGU’ - DILG

ADVERTISEMENT

It took “another” mayor to do it.
By: Central Luzon News Center | Nelson Bolos

This comment came when this municipality received its first ever “Best Performing Local Government Unit (LGU)” award from the Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG).

The award was given by DILG Region 3 Director Julie Daquioag to Mayor Eloy Eclar at the Quest Hotel in Clark Economic Zone in Pampanga.

According to Lorenzo Abades, this town’s DILG Municipal Officer, he himself was surprised of the “prestigious award” when he accompanied Eclar at the DILG-hosted region-wide conference held at Clark Eco-Zone.

“Kahit ako hindi ko alam na mabibigyan ng (special) award ang Gerona. Nagpunta kami doon para lamang tanggapin ang P2 Million DILG special fund”, said Abades.

The Best Performing LGU award is given to municipalities and cities which met the “DILG’s stringent criteria” in the implementation of the department’s “locally funded projects”.

The criteria include “transparency, efficiency and competence”.

The P2 Million DILG special fund assistance will be used to “upgrade the solid waste management facility”of the town.

“I am deeply honored of the (DILG) recognition. We were not expecting that our reforms and public service-centered policies would be recognized”, said Eclar.

The first-termer mayor is being credited for “infusing professionalism, dynamism and sincere dedication to public service among the municipal employees”.

Eclar was recently conferred “most outstanding mayor” by a local media group.

“Maraming nagbago sa bayan mula ng umupo si mayor Eclar. Maraming investors ang pumasok at naging very professional sa trabaho ang mga municipal employees at mararamdaman mo na motivated ang mga empleyado na magserbisyo. At walang nabablitaang corruption”, said Barangay Nestor Austria of Barangay Apsayan.

Since the 1960’s, or for more than 50 years, the mayors of this town came from only 2 families – the Sembrano and Go political families.

The election of Eclar in 2016 is said to have “broken the 2-family political dynasty in this town”.

A Netizen sent a photos of van without plate number giving gifts on the street last December 23, 2017.

Mario Pintasero, a netizen who sent a photos on our page (Taga Tarlac Ka Kung) said:

"As i was traversing Colibangbang Tagumbao road on the 23rd of December, as i am on my way to Gerona town, i noticed this black toyota innova, no plate no and conduction sticker was patched with a piece of paper."

"I am surprised as he is handing a red loot bag to people who he sees in the street."

"I just cant believe what i saw. This person is hiding his identity as gotten to see the man inside is wearing not a santa costume, instead, a mask."

"Whatever his intention is, indeed it brought smile to those people i happen to capture picture with on that limited time i have tailgating him. I think this guy deserves at least a couple of likes."

Sometimes, people don't need to be popular by being generous. Sometimes, they just hiding their identity and their main goal is to make smile the people around them.
