Social BoostReviews of socialboost.co

I paid money but did not recieve followers fake one now i decided ti raise complaint against u ppl for cheating customers

This site is a scam. I payed for a monthly plan and all the accounts they follow are fake accounts from Nigeria! Now I have a bunch of fake followers who will never buy and is lowering my engagement. They then convinced me that to get better targetting in the US, I have to upgrade and pay more. So I did that naively and then they did NOTHING. I paid more and there was no activity at all! Such a waste of time and money. ALso there is NO WAY to log in and see your progress or easily cancel. STAY AWAY!

THIS IS A SCAM!! I booked a package two weeks ago and have not received any service. Reached out to customer service on 'hellosocial-boost.co' three times and have not received any answer. Hi Lucy I contacted this email three times by now!!! I never got an answer!!! Since three weeks. I sent you my email & phone. Come back to me. Anyways my bank account is now blocked for socialboost. Will send you the transaction number.

Ignore all the overhyped, misleading high ratings of this company. Social Boost is either fake or very misleading. Let me begin by saying when I first purchased their service, they made me login through some 3rd party authentication wall. Meaning, I had to give them access to my Instagram login details. This was an immediate red flag. Because their service was now logging into my account from a different, foreign country. This also already brings suspicion to Instagram because now they see me being located at two different countries at the same time. Yet regardless, their process told me to just verify that it's me logging at this other country (even though I'm obviously am not). Needless to say, it was already starting off shady. And not just on Instagram's viewpoint, but for me as well. However, I still gave benefit of the doubt, assumed that their service was going to be similar to other social media market boosting services, but boy was I dead wrong. I get scheduled to some interview online via Google Meet. Then, the first person I spoke with one morning was this woman called Grace. The entire call was a complete disaster as she couldn't hear me nor understood a word I was saying despite her wearing a telemarketing headset. Now you'd think for someone wearing a decent quality made business headset that they'd not be this deaf, but she sure proved me wrong over just how bad she was at trying to communicate. All while falsely blaming that it's my connection or call quality reception. She even had the audacity to laugh about it before hanging up. So I sent an email mentioning the terrible call experience. That was the last time I was gonna deal with another call from them. Nevertheless, somehow or another even though the initial interview never got completed, they still had someone or something that kept controlling my Instagram account. Sure, I was getting more followers and likes, but I've noticed it wasn't as genuine. Like, why am I just generating new followers from off the air? Something wasn't right about this. So I waited a few more weeks to observe my account's followers later on. Then it occurred to me that, apparently, their service is just randomly following hundreds of other accounts. So it seems obvious to me that either the users following me are getting incentivized to follow me, or they have some sort of fake list they are building it from their own circle. And I could tell because almost half of the following accounts are also foreign profile pictures and names. I've yet to find American accounts. Not only that, but to top it off, none of them even comments on my post. I was too busy from my full-time warehouse job to even really do anything about it, such as changing my password. But I knew I was definitely not gonna renew back my subscription as I've already cancelled it, especially over how unsatisfied I was with the results. But ironically, the damage was already done in. Because after a month of their dirty doing, I've found out that Instagram had now suspended my account. And now they want me to verify identity proof with some selfie of my full name and portrait photo. Like that matters now since they banned my account anyway, so I'm not going to do that. Honestly, it's not even worth it anymore. Instagram sucks because of their crappy support service over bots and uninterested followers. And Social Boost sucks for faking themselves as something better and more unique than what other fake social media boosting site are already doing. But hey, at least I don't have to worry about those other sites from accessing my account unauthorized, thus causing my account to get banned. Because it's one thing to waste money on fake followers, but what Social Boost did was basically illegal. Yet again, I signed up to it and unconsciously gave them permission. This is after unknowingly realizing the consequences or being too gullible. Or I just didn't care at the time because I was too desperate to get more followers because of how bad Instagram's algorithm is. Either way, my verdict is, don't always trust everything out there that you see just because it has high ratings. Hell, they probably even got paid reviewers on here as well.

Absolutely awful! If I could give a zero star rating I would have done. Use the Follow/Unfollow approach and when I mentioned I was not comfortable with that, I was told they would use the like and comment approach - quickly noticed that all the accounts being followed/liked/commented on were not appropriate for my business at all or were for other competitors! When I brought this up, I was told that they would upgrade me to their "Expert Targeting Review" and that I would have 90% guarantee of generating new followers. I was never sent a review to fill out and I was never provided analysis that was promised. Hugely disappointing and a complete waste of money!

I paid, and I took the time out to answer their questionnaire. I specified many times we wanted local followers (it asked!) since we are a business. We wanted to use this as a goal to gain local followers and network ourselves better. Local was the entire NJ, Philly and NY area… nothing too small to work with. A day later I saw many people they requested on my behalf and that followed back, were from Europe.. none local. I reached out to customer support about my concerns. Nothing changed days later and then I saw almost no results for a few more days… still nothing local. I reached out again and I said I wanted a refund. They then complained that it costs them a lot to do this by hand in office and they could only give me half back and said “I hope you can also see from our point of view” I said “Sorry I can’t. As an unsatisfied paying customer I understand you want to back your work but it’s not like I asked for a refund after a month of your work.. and it’s also not the work I asked for BASED off your questioner.” They should feel confident enough in their jobs to refund someone who is not happy with results for good reasons. All they did was follow people from all over the world with high following counts in hope they followed back- didn’t even care about the a target audience or location they asked for! I would not recommend them. Half my money back!? ... still going to write my bad review.

In December 2021 we took a look at Social-Boost who were very quick to contact us. Had quite a bit of back and forth with a sales representative who offered me a one month trial at reduced cost. This was their top service which includes monthly performance reports. We signed up, paid our money, got receipt and in one month gained 900 followers and received a performance analysis. I wasn't overly impressed so let it go. I heard no more from although they continued to take money from our bank account. We did not receive any receipts or monthly reports which unwittingly we were paying for. Increase in followers over 6 months ran at an average of 300 per month. In July I received a notice that someone was accessing our Instagram account which alerted me to their activity. I immediately cancelled the subscription that I was unaware that we had! I also asked for a refund for five moths. This was declined. They said that they had been working just as hard on our account so I then said that since their performance was only one third of the initial month, why not refund 2/3rds of the 5 months. This was also declined. I pointed out their failure to deliver receipts or provide reports. They said reports were included in the service but only provided by request... more than strange. The salesman who offered a months trial got me onto their books. After the first month they continued to do much less work but charge me the same with no receipts and no reports. Legally they are in the right. I think I have been misled. I have asked for their address so I can give this to our lawyers to see if we do have a case. They have failed to give their address, something any respectable business would do at once. The last two weeks of trying to sort this out have been very unpleasant. They have no interest in placating an unhappy customer only in keeping the money.
