I'm a bit disappointed to say I think I've been scammed yet again. This time was a lot more clever and elaborate than the other two times but after reviewing everything I'm convinced it's not legitimate. Let me cover the bases of what happened:
1. I have been looking for spam traffic for my event series (if you can provide this plz message me) and got in touch with a lot of people. One of the first was Void957 skype: aceboy957
2. He said he could spam facebook, twitter & instagram. THOUSANDS of comments a day. For $100. We agreed no twitter but went w/ facebook and instagram.
3. I paid him $400 for the first few days when he said he was doing the comments. No real traffic came to the event that the comments were supposed to drive traffic to. Honestly, I still wasn't suspicious. He showed me Instagram spam accounts made for the campaign and I thought it was legit.
4. He sent me excel sheets that supposedly showed lists of Instagram comments being made. When I did initially check these, there was no relevant comment. He quickly retorted that you gotta look for them and that they're there. I took it on face value.
5. After the event didn't get anywhere near the traffic it needed, I delayed it. I recently contacted him about doing traffic for the new event and he sent me a bill for $1200. This struck me as odd. Yes, he'd said he was doing comments the whole time. But once there was no responses and he stopped asking I pretty much understood that he wasn't requesting the $100 a day. I also said I'd pay him from the ticket sales if he could help generate them. But now he got weird and aggressive and threatening....
6. This is when I realized he very well may be a scammer. I actually looked at one of those excel spreadsheets he kept holding up as clear proof he delivered the job and that I owed him money. After going through the 100 links (Far from 2-3k comment links) not ONE of them had a comment on them. Let me repeat that: the spreadsheet he sent as evidence was literally empty. Not even one spam comment on any of the 100 links (I've attached as proof and can show screenshot where he sent to me.)
For all I know, the comments that I saw made were done manually. And that would've been easy in retrospect given I only actually saw maybe 2 or 3 comments. And the traffic that came to the event came from the tiny amount of work another spammer did, which that spammer said was basically nothing (and who, by the way, told me thought whoever was supposedly doing instagram traffic was doing nothing.)
Oh, and the traffic came from my FB event invites. Given I only got some 100 FB responses, if he did push any comments for traffic, it could've been done manually. It certainly doesn't seem 2-3k comments were delivered ever, much less daily. Many of the FB responses I did get look to be fake anyway, like he could've made them himself.
I'd really like to hear the answer for this.
