Hi!
I’ve been reading these threads for weeks! Admittedly last few days I am struggling to keep up!
But finally plucked up the courage to post after a mini spam account reporting spree!
Cannot bear the manipulative and sly sales tactics this woman uses. I’m almost embarrassed for her that she felt she’s had to stoop to this level in her desperate bid for money and to be recognised. Preying on the vulnerable to make a quick buck is abhorrent. Well, you’re definitely recognised now! As a poor liar and crooked sales woman in the (surprisingly tame) newspaper reports from the past few days! This is the beginning of the end. She’s well and truly outed the instagram influencers to a lot of people through her sheer greed and refusal to follow advertising law/guidelines.
I know it’s been said a few times, but I thought I’d just push the point again. I’ve just been through Hinch’s followers and it took me about ten mins max of scrolling and I’d reported about 50 spam accounts. (Easy to find. Click on dodgy looking usernames? No posts/photos/followers? Click report -> it’s spam. And that’s all you need to do!).
I just thought that it’s worth bringing up with all the new/ongoing tattlers! I may even bring it up again later on like a broken record as I’m aware these threads are moving at record speed now progress is fast with bringing her rule breaking practice to justice! I can see on the home page of this thread that thousands read these threads (like me until today!) even if only a fraction actually comment regularly. But if everyone reading this does even just that, a few mins of spam account clearing, then we might finally make a dent with very little individual effort. If we do that it’s going to be an expensive bill/difficult for Hinch to keep buying more spambot accounts to fill in the ones tattle are rightfully reporting under Instagram rules. She might have to stop blocking as many people too to keep up appearances on follower numbers
.
Also; I noticed a lot of home accounts. It’s worth noting that a lot of the accounts are of people who probably follow Hinch on their personal AND their home/cleaning accounts. (Plus snooping tattlers
but please just snoop rather than give her the satisfaction of a follow! Her page isn’t public so you can!). So she may have two followers, but if they’re from the same person even if she’s gets engagement off both accounts it’s only one potential sale. Something to consider/make her strangely high numbers make a bit more sense. (Although I’m still sure she’s buying/gaining lots through other means hence how easy it is to find dozens and dozens of spam accounts on a quick scroll of her followers!)
So go! Go! Go! Report away and hopefully we will make a huge difference in seeing follower numbers that more accurately represent the engagements on her posts (only 41,000 likes on her latest grid post but 2.5 millions followers? Really, Sophie? We know you’re bad at lying but c’mon).
Keep going Tattlers! Justice is finally coming. Those who are vulnerable totally deserved this corrupt saleswoman to be held accountable.
