The more followers you want on Twitter, the longer it takes. Anything up to 3,000 followers ($150) will take a maximum of 60 days. Beyond that, 4,000 followers ($200) is 40 to 80 days, 5,000 ($250) is “60+ days” and 10,000 Twitter followers (for $450) will take “90+ days”.

The problem with this service is that a person will not be able to request a full refund on PayPal, because 60 days is the maximum length of time the seller has to send the buyer their refund via the Refund tab inside PayPal.

This site raises a red flag for not only the refund issue, but also for;

  • The website has no about page
  • The domain was just registered
  • There’s no explanation about the service
  • There’s no phone#
  • There’s no physical address
  • There’s no nothing!

Stay away!  There’s no way I would remotely consider using this service and I would recommend the same to everyone!
