Social-Media-Group positions itself as a media subsidiary of Mail.ru, the purpose of which is the formation of advertising projects with their subsequent placement on social platforms and web pages belonging to mail.ru.
What is a Social-Media-Group? Promotional Content
The main feature of Social-Media-Group is the reviews that the company (not without the help of affiliate program participants) addresses itself. The organizers of the project call themselves the owners of a media platform that occupies a leading position in the CIS. The launch of the annual social media giveaway is a charity event that the company considers to be its first responsibility.
Having reached the financial Olympus, Social-Media-Group considers it its duty to encourage the initiative of social account holders - to allow them to participate in a win-win lottery. For those users who are not lucky enough to win oneof the main prizes, guaranteed to get an incentive bonus - 3100 rubles.
"Prizes" from Social-Media-Group. Reviews of deceived users
Participants who did not receive a penny and even more than that - gave their savings to the initiators of the "share" - a key link in the fraudulent scheme, which has long become the calling card of online scammers. Promises of large sums and prestigious gifts (despite the full bumps and experience gained by predecessors) make gullible users forget about the properties of "free cheese" again and again.
If you believe the complaints of people who call themselves victims of the hands of social-media-group.pro employees (reviews are left incognito), the site owners are turning to social network users with an offer to compete for a cash prize - about 890 thousand rubles.
As a consolation prize (for those who are unlucky), a mandatory participation bonus has been introduced (plus 3,100 rubles). Users are just a few taps away from receiving these wonderful gifts - the account number of a bank card or an electronic wallet.
Users who have taken the bait, "givers" offer to become participants in an equally wonderful draw. By indicating the ID of a personal account in any of the social networks or an e-mail address, potential bourgeois will also become contenders for much more generous gifts - a personalized gift card, on which a six-figure amount already flaunts, a brand new Kia Rio andprestigious smartphone.
Social-Media-Group through the eyes of experts
Independent experts also did not fail to leave feedback on social-media.group. By the way, they call the discussed project “another scam from E-pay.club”. As it turned out, the money fraudulently confiscated from the persons involved in the “draw” goes through the E-pay payment system.
To understand that they are dealing with scammers, specialists did not even need to register on the site. At the very beginning of the check, they were embarrassed by the position of the main "benefactor" - Zakhar Bondarev (the name is most likely made up). Zakhar refers to himself as the marketing director general. A personal photo of the entrepreneur, who has been in the advertising business for over a decade, was soon found on several stock media sites.
Professional assessment of the site social-media-group.site. Feedback from victims and advanced users
According to the information revealed by the RankW comprehensive Internet content inspection system, the social-media-group.site project has about 350 daily visitors. Every day about 7 US dollars are credited to the project account. The source of income is the placement of contextual advertising. The approximate cost of the resource is about two million five hundred and twenty seven thousand US dollars.
Reviews about Social-Media-Group, the authors of which are representatives of the injured party, are like two drops of water similar to the assessment of the activities of similar "companies". Participants of the drawing, who are authorized on the project website, are invited to “increase the chances ofwin”, paying a symbolic amount (75 rubles). Then everything happens according to a well-established pattern…
But back to the results of an independent examination. During the audit, characteristic signs of fraud were revealed - requests to pre-pay tax on winnings and the provision of a list of "additional prices" that allow increasing the amount of cash prizes.
If during registration on the project you can omit the account activation procedure by e-mail (no one monitors this in the Social-Media-Group), then the payment of the "prepaid tax" is tracked according to all the rules.
As you can see from the reviews, Social-Media-Group does not inspire confidence in experienced users who do not consider themselves to be experts, but have already been "hooked". They claim that the amounts recklessly poured into the accounts of the fraudulent “hen” (E-pay) cannot be returned even through the court.
