It's amazing how they've managed to get so many followers on their fake Twitter account in such a short time. No doubt, they are fake followers, but it could still trick someone who's not used to these kinds of scams.
That is standard play enacted upon by certain scammers because if they show they have followers, they feel it will help them when they try to come across as a genuine business. In all honesty, having followers and subscribers probably does help when it comes to wanting to fool people on a social media platform.
One single scam and it pays for both the badge and the followers cost by x10 at least, worth trying.
Buying 1000 followers for $10 (or less) is a tiny price to pay by the scammers if it helps them in their end objective. Definitely worth them trying.
