Is Anthony Groeper a scammer?

His comments are from engagement groups.. (you can join as many as you want & even automate them through jarvee lol) comments mean nothing nowadays, he loses an avg of 300 followers a day, meaning that his followers are illegitimate.

Of course, he's using shady methods but I mean to say he will still make good ROI off the backend selling his coaching.

He does have legitimate Instagram accounts that are quite large. However, he's let himself turn into an "Instagram guru" like many people to get more YouTube views, etc.

As far as his recent 0-100K challenge series he did with his friend, this idea was taken from other Instagram influencers who ended up passing away a few months ago. Funnily enough, however, the original series made by the Instagram influencers was created to sell their course. So, I would expect a new course from Anthony and his friend soon.

By the way, Anthony already has a course called Viral Venum, and to sum it up, Anthony basically says "use powerlikes and engagement groups" which is terrible advice nowadays, as Instagram has made algorithms to combat engagement groups due to the success of Fuelgram, etc.

His socialblade looks pretty suspect from what I can see.

It's not impossible to growth 100k in a month, especially if you're using carefully vetted shoutouts.

He loses hundreds of followers everyday.
He is obviously using a panel.
Confirmed scammer imo

Hey guys, I don't know how many of you are browsing Instagram growth youtube videos.
But any ways, theres this one "Guru" called Anthony Groeper.
He and his partner Leo launched a "0-100k followers in 30 days" challenge, and the whole thing looks like a one BIG scam.
Account URL: https://www.instagram.com/redpillsuccess/

Apparently, they purchased an account that had more than 10k followers to begin with (so I guess it not a 0-100k), and than they said that they had to "secretly grow it".
Also in the video they said that all they did to grow that account was to buy shoutouts from big influencers.
But somethings just don't make sense to me.
First of all, I checked out their followers, Most of them look like they are from a Panel (I know because I use a pannel myself). Only 1 post (if any at all) and no stories or even a profile picture.
Second of all, their posts get really shitty engagement.

In my opinion, the whole thing was just a "warm up" before they launch their "0-100k blueprint" course.
I mean it's just business, I get it, but they are fucking lying to people. I am really convinced that they purchased 100k USA followers from a pannel.

Otherwise, why would anyone follow an account that only has like 30 posts, which are general as fuck and aren't even eyes-catching? (even if it was promoted by an influencer)

Your thoughts?

adding onto this...
It's possible he didn't purchase from a panel himself.
One of my friends in the game once bought a shout-out from the biggest dog in our niche, and it turns out they buy the bots.
possibly to make it look like they benefited.

Hey this is Anthony, just made this account to reply here as I think some valid points have been brought up regarding panel/fake followers, and if any of you are still in the IG game maybe this post will help. The account wasn't grown with just shoutouts, shoutouts were a part of it but we were throwing the entire kitchen sink at this thing. To the point of timing shouts/giveaways with freshly posted viral content to almost guarantee a hit on the explore page which worked really well a few times. But obviously with shoutouts, those gained followers don't tend to unfollow in the weeks/months to come, and admittedly I do not think we would have gotten to 100k if we did just shoutouts. Not a chance, MAYBE 50-60k if we were to time them with our content postings and get them pushed to the explore page. So the other big part of our growth came from giveaways and giveaway loops. If any of you have ever done giveaway loops before then you know just how powerful they are for gaining followers very quickly, but also a drawback to that is not everyone is going to stick around and your going to have a percentage that unfollow over the course of a few months. However there are things you can do to get a higher retention of those followers like engaging them, a followup giveaway, and most importantly having good content. I kid you not I once ran a giveaway loop campaign for a client of mine in the travel niche, she had 10/10 content as her partner was a professional photographer, we gained 55,000 thousand followers on her page in 2 weeks and had nearly 100% retention of those followers. But her content was top level. I'm no professional photographer so my retention was more of what the average person experiences after doing giveaways/loops, I also think my niche played a roll into my retention, had I done this as a travel page probably would have had way better retention. This is why after we completed the challenge and stopped running shoutouts/giveaways the followers started to bleed off, we expected this though so it didn't come as a surprise to us. In a previous comment someone posted a s.s. of the social blade where you can see everyday we were losing 100+ followers and then out of nowhere we gained 2,000 in a day. Those big numbers gained in a day were from shoutout campaigns. (After we completed the challenge I didn't want to keep running giveaways and wanted to focus on quality over quantity so stuck to shoutouts only). So while the daily losing of followers, followed by a big influx out of nowhere looks like fake followers or purchasing from a panel. In reality it is just the nature of growing an account in a non-organic fashion like this. If you run giveaways and loops your going to lose a percentage of those followers afterward and there is kind of no escaping it. The only way there could possibly be followers from a panel on the account would be what the person above me said, maybe one of the influencers we paid for a shoutout ran some off a panel to make it look like they provide a good bang for the buck, I don't think its likely as we vetted heavily, but it is possible. Also we didn't purchase an account with 10K, we started the account from scratch but we had it on private and then set it to public once we hit 10k, thats why the social blade didnt start tracking until the account was set to public.
