Avoid European Bot Sellers

Many services claim to sell "Italian followers" or "French followers" but actually deliver bots from click farms. Red flags include:

  • ❌ Promising specific numbers like "10,000 followers guaranteed"
  • ❌ Requiring your Instagram password
  • ❌ Not accepting PayPal (only crypto or wire transfer)
  • ❌ Delivering followers instantly (real growth takes days)
  • ❌ Prices under $20/month for thousands of followers
