I was really excited to work with this company after reading some reviews, however they did not generate a single follow (not one), and all they kept doing was refer me to the terms & conditions. Their website looks great, but their whole operation is one big scam. They are not even listed on the Better Business Bureau. I'm thinking that even some of the Trustpilot reviews are manipulated by their team. Save your time and your buck!

Hi Ziad,
You absolutely should have received growth from our service. I'd very much like to resolve this for you.
Since we do receive inauthentic reviews from competitors, and I don’t see a record of you actually using our service — I've reached out via Trustpilot's Internal System to get more details about your experience.
Assuming this is a genuine review, we'd be happy to review your purchase and see how we can help resolve your issue ― as well as set the record straight on how our service is definitely legitimate.
Kindly

Do not use these 5 star reviews are all…
Do not use these 5 star reviews are all fake just like their fake followers
1. all the followers have photos with no captions
2. all the followes have no followers and they are following alot of people
3. every single one of them are like this
therefore they are fake followers
I have requested a chargeback from my bank as they are hesitant in refunding and they will incurr fees on top of my refund so happy days.
Do not use they are a leech company
and need to be shut down
EDIT: They are planning to fight back the chargeback with the details listed in the service agreement,
They are continuously trying to fight back:
"we’ll provide the details listed in your service plan; shouldn’t be too hard to fight."
-very condescending, and disgusting communication with the company.
they are advertising engaging and genuine followers on their site however the product you get is fake followers.
also they hide their corporation details so shady.
Request a chargeback if you can, they will also incur chargeback fees of 20-45% of transaction value.

Daniel,
I'd like to personally reach out about your experience. To clarify, all marketing is done via paid advertising to worldwide markets. We do not work to attract “fake accounts” to your page. If you were followed, it would of had to be a real person — since they would have clicked on a strategically placed ad to reach your page in the first place. Additionally, please keep in mind; we cannot control what users choose to do with their accounts.
Since we do receive inauthentic reviews from competitors, I've reached out via Trustpilot's Internal System to get more details about your purchase. Assuming this is a genuine review, we'd be happy to review your purchase and see how we can help resolve your issue.
Looking forward to speaking with you further!
Kind regards

Please read this before using Odysius.
I don't know where to begin. I started with the cheapest service ($99/month) to try and automate my Instagram growth in the background while I focus on the operation of my business. I have used lots of Instagram services before, and in 2020 you need to be very careful, as Instagram has in place a lot of failsafes to make sure your account abides by their rules and services. If you're a brand looking to be verified one day, amass a larger following, protect your brand from suffering a tarnished reputation, or keep yourself out of "Instagram Jail," then do not use this service. I signed up just over a week ago, and saw them do nothing for well over a week. I was in touch with a service representative, who did respond quickly, but beat around the bush when it came to me asking exactly what they're doing. She continued to say that they were working, and I should see results soon. (Note: I didn't expect fast results, I just wanted to let this happen in the background while I went ahead with my daily operation of my business. I just wanted to know what they were doing to help my company, and any realistic expectation of what I could expect.) Then, as I suspected, I woke up this morning with about 150 new followers that all happened to follow me within 5 minutes of each other. After diligently going through all of their accounts, it was obvious that they are all bots, every one of them. If you've been in the marketing game more than a few months, then you know that these not only don't add value to your company, but instead they subtract value because a) Instagram can see right through this, b) they're not real so they can't engage with your content, thus lowering your follower to engagement ratio, thus making your account look worse, and c) the bots will get flagged eventually and deleted, thus taking them away anyway. So that's a losing battle to fight. Furthermore, their "Dashboard" once you sign up is not a dashboard, rather it's just a screen trying to upsell you on more of their features. I was expecting to see some analytics, but no, there was nothing, and when I asked a customer service representative, she confirmed that they were doing their part to market my account. Finally, and possibly the biggest red flag, is that in order to cancel my account, I have to contact a customer service representative and ask them nicely to cancel my membership. Of course, they have already tried several times to have me not cancel it. Nowhere on their website can you view your account and cancel payment. Everything about this service screams scam, and so I hope that if you're reading this, you think twice about it. The bottom line is, you will pay $99 for bot followers. If this is what you're looking for, then you will get what's coming to you. And yes, I have proof of all of this as I took screenshots along the way.

Bought a Basic Growth package for $99
Bought a Basic Growth package for $99. Out of the 1000+ followers I received in the next month, none were recognizably real accounts. I have screenshots of lists of many of the bot accounts, each with only a handful of followers, 9-12 photos all posted on the same day long ago, and no activity.
The worst part is the number is declining by about 30 followers every day, as I'm sure Instagram is dilligent about removing fake accounts.
Right now I'm at about 2000 followers, down from 2300 a few days ago.

I wouldn’t trust this service…
I wouldn’t trust this service especially with verifications! Waste of money! Update - I have read your response and I can ensure you I’m a paying customer not a competitor.

If not provided, there isn’t much we can do.
Hope to hear back from you!

Total scam
I spent over $400 because they told me my profile would get verified. They told me I had a good chance with the $99 package after reviewing my account, and when that didn't work, they told me to get the most expensive one. I asked a lot of questions and they convinced me to do it. I don't even believe they sent anything to Instagram for verification. I feel like I got scammed and they lied to me. I should have known better. I truly believe that I got discriminated against because my account is Pro-Trump.

Hi Marina,
I’m very sorry you feel any negativity towards Odysius. We take customer sentiment as well as accusations very seriously.
First of all, I’ve reached out via Trustpilot’s system to confirm you did in fact sign up with Odysius. We get a decent amount of inauthentic reviews from competitors, so just want to make sure this is a genuine review.
Secondly, assuming this was a genuine experience, I’ll touch on each one of your points as I don’t want to leave this unaddressed.
“They told me I had a good chance with the $99 package after reviewing my account, and when that didn't work, they told me to get the most expensive one.”
* If our team reviewed your account and said you had a good chance, then it was and is likely still the truth. However, verification is not guaranteed, and we explicitly explain this via direct communication to customers and transparently on our site. This is listed here: https://odysius.io/pricing as well as on each checkout page. We also send an email upon payment that explains this.
“ I don't even believe they sent anything to Instagram for verification. I feel like I got scammed and they lied to me. ”
* This is a serious accusation and one we don’t take lightly. All customers who pay for verification submission plans are 100% submitted. We not only provide customers with a tracking number that goes directly to Instagram in Menlo Park, CA — but we have helped numerous upon numerous clients get verified. So, though I understand your frustration, stating a company is a scam simply because the outcome wasn’t as hoped is a serious offense.
“ I truly believe that I got discriminated against because my account is Pro-Trump.”
* Odysius would have provided the purchased service to you, the same way we provide it to all previous and current clients. If you were not verified, this would have been Instagram’s decision, not ours. So, we could not have and would not have discriminated against anyone, for any reason. We do not take this accusation lightly either.
I’m hoping we can speak further to see if there is any resolution or clarity that can be established. Looking forward to your response.
Kindly
