Find Out Who's NOT Following You Back With Just One CLICK!! Busting The Follow Scammers on STEEMIT!!!

in steemit •  7 years ago 

WHO ARE THE FOLLOW-SCAMMERS?

As you may know, there is an online scam that I'd like to refer to as FOLLOW SCAMMERS. They follow random people and demand or expect follow-backs to gain a lot of followers. Then they will unfollow all of them, and will pretend to be some celebrity who has lots of followers! This type of scam has been happening on steemit as well.

I just made a tool today that will tell you who's not following you back with only a click of a button! This can be a very useful tool in order to avoid the FOLLOW SCAM. But of course, I personally do not advise follow for follow-backs. I want real and genuine followers. Not someone who follows me for a follow-back!

Generally speaking, I'm not going to follow anyone unless I'm really interested in their content or I know them personally. I mean, I did follow strangers at first and it was a mistake. Today with the help of this tool, I found out that most of them have unfollowed me which is fine, because now I'm going to unfollow them too! LOL :]]]

HOW DOES IT WORK?

It's pretty simple actually! You just need to open the tool on your browser by clicking HERE. Then you need to enter your username and click on GO!

DON'T FORGET TO COMMENT!

If you like my new tool, make sure you give this post an upvote as that would encourage me to develop more tools and share them with everyone. Also, feel free to check my previous tool HERE. Let me know if you find this tool helpful or if there are any other tools you would want me to develop. Any type of SUPPORT would be much appreciate, whether it's an upvote, resteem or comment as well as donations!


Don't forget to UPVOTE, COMMENT, and/or RESTEEM!

nice one..thank you.....works great..
...ohh...ahh...there are so many from TEAM AUSTRALIA which are not following...........................................................................

Agree, this is really a nice app.

yes mate it is...i will use it to do a bit of a clean up

Just a question here. How des this algo work? Does it just check the difference between followers and following and then highlight it? I think I am follow far too many people. But some people who I really like, they don't follow me, but their content is so good I don't mind. Just checking... .................................................. ............................... ;)

as i understand it,it works that way.
you hit the nail...same here with me,too many.........:)lol..
i hope i could help you,otherwise you have to ask msg who designed it...

Well, I will do some housekeeping. Just hope I don't clean out too many beautiful titty-ladies that I have been trying to get affection with upvotes from.

nice one...looks like the woman in the black looks a bit jealous......yeah mate be careful....

Your welcome. What's with all the dots mate... :/

thanks mate...just the people which are not following..if it disturbs you i can take some off...

It's okay. I mean it's up to you. It just makes your comment look a bit odd... :]

fair enough-good point,thank you...i took some off.....the list is fairly long....thats why i did it that long

Maybe I should a create tool for #teamaustralia by which we can follow everyone who's being followed by @teamaustralia with a click of a button!?

it is up to you...the idea is quite good i reckon...i like it....but i dont know how long its gonna take you to do it?have you got time? etc etc...
if you want to play around....go for for it mate....im not holding you back...lol...
it would probably take 10 years for me to make something like that
cheers

Nah it wouldn't take me very long. Probably a day max!

you sure like your dots... ;)

I am getting those comments where people are asking for a follow back, they know they have no interest in your blog posts.

Great tool, msg768! Works a treat! :-)

Time to unfollow the scammers! LOL :]]]

Where the tool go?

Great Man

No worries :]

Very Cool! Wouldn't really consider it a scam more a personal thing with that persons ego haha. But I definitely in no favor of promoting it so thank you for making this :-)

I'd like to call it a scam because they use a dishonest tactic to increase their number of followers! :]

either or. We can't support these scumbags haha

good post

Thanks! :]

Thanks for the info. Great post @msg768

My pleasure! :]

great post. Resteeming. Thanks!

Thank you! :]

This is great! I was wondering if there was a tool like this some-where! Thank you for doing all this work. You definitely deserve a follow. I don't mind if a person doesn't follow me back if my feed doesn't relate to theirs and they are using for possibly business or what ever. But when people follow just to collect followers I find that dishonest and disrespectful.
Again, I want to say thank you.

Your welcome!

Great tool! Upvoted and resteemed :)

Thanks! :]

Good someone did this. We do not need scammers here. It is bad for the community.

Are you a bot? LOL :]]]

Haha.

Thank you for writing this.

I won't follow someone if I am not interested in what they have.
If they begin writing something I would be interested in, I am sure one of the people I do follow will resteem it.

And same as you, I only want people who like and vote on my posts to follow me. For them, I write.

Your welcome :]

Nice tool. I'm glad other people have the skills to work on stuff like this for people to use.

Thanks mate :]

Now this is a nifty tool Tank you for sharing with us

Glad you find it useful :]

Great tool! Thanks for adding the importance of building a group of genuinely interested followers and not going for the follow-for-follow game. If you unfollow someone, does it show up anywhere on their feed, or does it notify them?

Unfollowing leaves a record in history which can be checked. Not sure if there is an app that would notify them or not but it's possible to write an app for it! :]

Thanks! How have you learned all this, and you started the same month as I did? I am assuming by the fact you created this app that you have programming background, which I guess would help learn all the ins and outs of Steemit.

  ·  7 years ago (edited)

I'm still learning new things everyday... I haven't written an app for it but like I said there is a history which is available to everyone and you can check pretty much everything on steemdb.com/@username! :]

You do realize that there is also an app you can use that will tell you who follows, AND unfollows you. Pretty sure there is one for who likes your posts, as well as notifications for comments and what not.

Which app is it? Does it tell you who has unfollowed you in the past?

I don't know, as I don't use apps like that because I could care less about followers and following people and all that... I post what I want when I want and if people follow me then cool. I follow people I connect with and enjoy reading their posts.

Well then you're not gonna find this tool to be useful! :]]]

Haha, nope probably not :P

I won't use it so I doubt I will find anything out about it other that what I read here. :P

Either way I follow you now, I like your devotionals and way of thinking.

Good luck to you!
@Timbo

Thanks! Speaking of devotionals, thanks heaps for reminding me! I forgot to post the one for today! :]]]

Hahaha! No worries, I will have to check it out later. I am not actually on Steemit very often because of my work schedule.

Fantastic bro.. thanks.. :) upvoted and resteemed.

Thanks mate :]

I resteemed it, and upvoted it.
scammers are everywhere, from this, to cash exchange, the scammer gives fake cash in exchange for REAL cash, same value...
anything can happen, and exposing scams are some of the most important things.

Thanks mate :]

Good tool.... and good job...

This is a great post and it helps a lot, just tried it out and works like a charm! Thank you for sharing!

Thanks for the info. I generally am not worried if folks don't follow me back. I have got an influx of followers lately. Like you I follow if 1) the content is good or 2) If I have developed a true friendship with certain folks. I believe there are scammers out there and so far have not had one. I try to write real comments and take interest in my feeds and many of those I follow. Thanks for the informative post. As always keep posting. - Troy

Oh true that. I follow a lot of accounts too who don't follow me back and I'm totally cool with that. I'm talking about follow-backs and following people only for the sake of gaining more followers and the scammers who will later unfollow everyone and pretend like they're a celebrity or something! :]]]

I have only seen one celeb on here so far. There may be many I have not discovered I am sure. I understand your point. For myself followers will come when they are meant to come in my life. I get it and appreciate you taking time to post this stuff and time to reply to me. Kind regards and keep up the good work.

My pleasure! Which celebrity is that if I may ask? :]

the one who I saw was out there was courtney Warner who is supposed to be the fiancee of celeb Charlie Shrem. I am assuming these two name are legit. Have you heard anything???? I would be interested in knowing. Blessings - Troy link below.

Could be a fake profile! Who knows!!

Well thanks for asking. I do not know either.

Amazing. Thanks for putting out this info.

No problem :]

Nice tool. Tried to upvote, but too late. I also noticed you are using blogspot. You do not have your own domain? They can kick you out at anytime and your business is gone. I'll make you an offer. I have an idea for a tool. If you can make for me, I'll give you your own website and 6 months free hosting. After that, if you want to keep hosting with me you can pay in SBD or take your site to Godaddy or anywhere else to host. If you would like to discuss this in private, go to my website to contact me

They don't have to be scammers if they do not follow you, but a tool is useful if you DO came across one :) Upvoted & resteemed.

True! Thanks man! :]

i love people who do things like you, @msg768. i only have 61 followers so i dont know how much i need it yet, but thanks for the tool i will definitely use it as i gain more followers.
HA
@humanauction

er... dunno why, but when i click your link it takes me to a raffle page?!? (instead of a follow/unfollow tool)
HA

Try again please.

i tried again and... it worked! YAY @msg768!!!!! thanks :-) and sorry if having to fix it or whatever stressed you out.
have a great weekend,
HA

Your tool doesnt work anymore. just fyi...

Good tool!

Your better off having less followers who are engaged in your content rather than 10000 who couldnt care less about what you are blogging about

I just found this post. It is going to save me so much time, I was just starting to go through all of my FOLLOWING to see who wasn't following me back, it was already tedious. So I am glad I took the time to search for this solution. You were the first result on google, congrats!

Thank you for this tool! Is very useful :)

Nice! I don't care much if people don't follow me back. I don't do the follower for follower thing anyway, so most people I follow actually write stuff I care about (or they're nice people to chat with). It is a nice tool to clean up my list though. I'm now checking everyone on it to see if they still write articles I find enjoyable. Makes me rediscover some interesting things, but it also makes me discover a few dead accounts and a few people who just resteem a whole bunch of crap that I don't need on my feed :-)

Thanks!

No worries! My pleasure :]
