SocialSteeze huge scam! don't fall for their fake reviews!

One of the greatest threats that businesses face on the internet today are fraudulent services that take advantage of their trust. These predatory scammers will put out all of the stops in order to convince you that they are legitimate.

There are many different risks that you can expose yourself to in these instances, especially with services that require access to your social media accounts. Some will take your money and never bother to deliver on their promises. Meanwhile, other more malicious types might try to hijack your account or even steal your personal information.

It has recently come to my attention that SocialSteeze has been scamming its customers, as well as trying to sabotage their competition with fake reviews. We decided to investigate this for ourselves. What I found not only verified these claims, but also uncovered even deeper schemes at play.

What is SocialSteeze?

If you're not familiar with it, SocialSteeze is a service that purports to help its clients achieve "organic Instagram growth." In other words, it uses bots to control Instagram users' accounts in order to automate their activity. This involves sending comments, liking posts, and following other users on their behalf.

There's not much special about the company on the surface. It's one of the countless overpriced Instagress clones that popped up in the wake of its progenitor being shut down. However, once you dig below the surface, some interesting and disconcerting details begin to emerge.

SocialSteeze is not quite what it seems.

Who is behind SocialSteeze?

It turns out that SocialSteeze is merely a mask for an old face. In truth, it is actually SocialEnvy rebranded and given a new coat of paint. SocialEnvy was an automation service that thrived for awhile until Instagram caught on earlier this year and ordered them to shut down their service.

SocialEnvy was not the most reputable of companies during its time while active. In fact, many of its customers reported it as a scam early on. Searching around, you can find a litany of complaints about SocialEnvy taking their money and giving nothing in return. They've also continued to bill people long after cancellation, forcing some to dispute the unauthorized charges.

Just take a look at its page on ReportScam.com and you'll quickly get the idea (ATTACHED PHOTO #1)

So, when SocialSteeze rose from the ashes of SocialEnvy, did it gain a moral conscience or a newfound sense of ethical responsibility?

The answer is no. Not at all. If anything, the company has grown even worse and more dishonest in its new form.

It's also expanded its operations in order to cover a larger landscape. Now it's a complex network of interconnected scam services that boost each other up. As of this post, they also owns the following services: Magic Social, RiseSocial, Social10x, Hitfame, Likesocial, Instato, Planmypost, MegaDesign, and Twesocial.

The proof for all of this is as simple as checking the receipts. They haven't even bothered with changing their seller info on PayPal. All of them lead back to SocialEnvy. For instance, here's SocialSteeze (ATTACHED PHOTO #2):

And RiseSocial (ATTACHED PHOTO #3):

And finally Instato (ATTACHED PHOTO #4):

It's almost insulting how little they've tried to cover their trail. What's even worse, though, is how they've gamed the system to gain an unfair advantage over other businesses.

Fake review sites

SocialSteeze isn't the sort of company that likes to play fair and get by on its own merits. Instead, they opt to play dirty whenever possible.

Their most effective strategy by far has been operating multitude of review sites in order to manipulate and control their image. They also use them to trash their competitors and tarnish any search results for their services.

These are the sites that SocialSteeze owns at the moment: IGReviews, JonathanSpire.com, SpireUSA, The Small Business Blog, TrustAdvisor, and Selected Best.

Often they will advertise their own services on these sites, such as in a top 10 list of the best Instagram bots (ATTACHED PHOTO #5):

Or by suggesting them as an alternative in a review of another service (ATTACHED PHOTO #6):

In every case, they will push their services to the top and give them perfect ratings. It's blatant self-promotion, and it's done without any disclosure about their ties (ATTACHED PHOTO #7):

SocialSteeze in particular gets preferential treatment and the highest marks. The comment sections for these reviews are always glowing with praise for it, without a single negative remark in sight. They somehow expect people to believe that nobody has had any sort of problem in the slightest.

Don't fall for it

Under no circumstances would we advise trusting SocialSteeze, or any of the associated services mentioned throughout this article, with your Instagram account or any sensitive information. They've repeatedly proven themselves to be unscrupulous and deceitful.

Scams like SocialSteeze deserve to be exposed. Help spread the word about it before anybody else gets hurt by their corrupt behavior.

What's funny is that these jerks are finally getting theirs!

https://www.theverge.com/2019/4/26/18517954/facebook-instagram-bot-seller-social-media-cfaa-lawsuit-new-zealand

All the mentioned blogs by @rageagainstsocialsteeze used to have LikeSocial as an alternative recommendation but they removed it because they're getting sued by Facebook. They're trying to cover their tracks. Unfortunately, it's completely pointless because Facebook is going to win the case and New Zealand is going to honor the ruling. SocialSteeze and their owners are screwed. These a-holes can kiss all their money and assets good bye.

They have a habit of buying old sites and pushing their reviews. Here are their new websites they just started and trying to do the same thing:

pixelb.in
bumped.in
knowtechie.com
lincolnlabs.com
socialmediaexplorer.com
unrivaledreview.com
gravejibes.com
pishondesigns.org
trustadvisor.io

Don't believe the good reviews you read on Trustpilot either! They're all written by SocialSteeze to push down bad reviews. Definitely report them to the FTC and FBI if you've been cheated by them!

I suppose I should feel lucky! I use Socialsteeze and have for six months. I've never once had a problem with them and they've grown my account to having 5, 000 real followers. That being said I also never tried to cancel so I don't know if they would continue to charge.

They always seem to reply within 24 hours and are on top of it. The one thing I don't like is that my account is always getting logged in from different locations which causes instagram to kick me out, two days ago I got an email from them saying they were kicked out and couldn't get back in and needed the password. I gave it to them because this has happened before, but they said they were still locked out and needed a code. They then asked me for my phone number so that they could call me and set up the account that way, I gave it to them but haven't heard anything back. Which I'm fine with for now judging by this review. But very odd and super grateful that I wasn't a target on their plans - yet anyway. Perhaps my account wasn't big enough yet.

Socialsteeze is run by scums. they talk [censored] talk about their competitors on a host of different fake review sites they own. their company is absolutely terrible, it’s not even a service. when you give them your password, they immediately change it and the email on your account and then blackmail you if you want to regain access to it. they hacked my 250k follower verified account and said I had to pay them $11k nzd to get it back. when I refused to pay they threatened to post nudes on the account………. true to their word they posted the explicit content and got my account [censored]ing banned. plus they charged my cards thousands of dollars when I had cancelled my plan………… i’ve reported them to the fbi. if you have been a victim, definitely report them to the fbi too via their anonymous tip. get these low life scums arrested and do not use them.

STAY AWAY! I used SocialSteeze after I saw it recommended on several blogs to only later learn that they own the blogs themselves. Their service is a scam. They are complete frauds.

Reporting them to the Bad Business Bureau! Beware!

I've been waiting nearly two weeks for a reply to my emails (after several attempts contacting them). It's also been almost a week since I requested a refund, and still no response.

They have fake 5 star reviews on TrustPilot which are getting dangerous, as their rating is being artificially boosted and more potential customers could get scammed.

Proof the 5 star reviews are all fake:

1) none have actual anecdotal evidence behind them
2) ALL are coming from users who have Socialsteeze as their only review
3) Google image search the profile pics of the reviewers, and you'll see they're all famous actors or musicians hahaha

I'll provide screenshots of my credit card statement and email history for anyone wondering if I'm a real customer (looking at you, Socialsteeze rep). For more proof about Socialsteeze being a classic internet scam, just search them on /link removed/

For anyone who's been scammed by them, email spam(at)uce(dot)gov (U.S. Federal Trade Commission Consumer Fraud department) to get their site and services banned within the US and potentially be compensated for your losses.
