There were plenty of others offering the same, if not more followers, but they required your username and password, and would just follow hundreds of people, in the hope of a reciprocal follow.
However, this one seemed different. Just over £3.30 for 100 new followers? Great feedback? It seemed too good to be true, so I thought I’d lay my $5 on the line, and give it a go.
I placed my order, and around an hour or so later, had confirmation he had begun.
Within a few minutes, I started to get email notifications of new people following me. It seemed to be working!
25 minutes later, the emails dried up, and I assumed it was completed. I checked my followers, and, to my amazement, I had 135 new followers!
Some were particularly random, no tweets, following loads of people etc (suspect- FAKE) but there were a few active tweeters in there.
I @ replied some of them, asking how they heard about me / why they started following me, however have not got any response
All in all, did what was said on the tin. I got over 100 followers. Using who.unfollowed.me I saw that about 15 of these unfollowed me within a week.
At 23:00, Jo Combs (twitter.com/underdog100) had just 37 followers
5 minutes later, Graham Norton had featured her tweets on his show, albeit poking fun at them, but, now, her followers had swelled to 110!
Every time I hit F5, her number of followers increases
By 23:10 the count had grown to 130… around a 300% increase in 10 minutes!
I got bored at about 23:20, but by then, the follower count had grown to 140!
Not bad!
