''I received this message yesterday and i act with it, as i did not get scammed in steemit before but everything have a first time.''
this is the message:-
''RESTEEM SERVICE! We're offering resteems to over 9000 followers for only 2 SBD or 2 STEEM per resteem. Our resteems generally do better than Promoted Posts. See my order page at resteem.com if you are interested, or you can simply send 2 SBD or 2 STEEM now and the link to your post to @carlobelgado and we'll resteem it right away. Resteems get you more views, more followers, more engagement on your post, and usually more money. We've had several repeat buyers who love the service. Thanks!''
After this message i wanted to try this service and sent 2 SBD to the account in the memmo
And then i got some upvotes on my post after i sent the money so i thought it is laget thing but today i received an email from steem chat that said:
''Hi. I noticed you are using the resteem for 2 SBD service. I thought that somebody should warn you that those followers are all the same person. These are fake accounts and not real people. So if you were paying to have lots of people see your post, I am sorry to say you have been scammed.''
So as you can se it was a scam and not really a valid service but really i wander how could some one make 9000 accounts by him self and my friends struggle in making one account?
thought the story end here but when @troyvandeventer point me that he investigate the matter and think that it is not a scam his post ( https://steemit.com/resteem/@troyvandeventer/i-use-carlobelgado-s-re-steem-service-and-you-should-too ).
i followed his lead i did my investigation .
but the result come about 30% Active accounts 40% not active for 15 days or more 30 %not active from 30 random accounts.
this is the facts i could collect and you can be the judge yourself
but if it not scam so who sent me this message and why?!

I already unfollowed them because I hate having resteem-floods in my feed.
What I do find curious is that the message makes a claim without backing it up with any evidence supporting it...

Why is that interesting? It's most likely an automated process.
It just took your SBD and the process resteemed your post to users who probably don't care about what other people post.

Agreed. I follow people because I like what they post about, have or am developing a relationship with them, or just want to learn from them.
A bunch of paid resteems on topics I have no interest in simply crowds the posts from people I'm interested in.
