why buying "likes" or "google +'s" is dangerous...

My brother just recently bought some facebook likes to some of his fb notes pages which right now are ranking, the problems with them that I've seen so far are these:

1: They are not 'real' likes and come from questionable sources
2: They are not targeted in the least bit
3: After my brother bought the "likes" for cheap from this company via PayPal, his SKYPE account was 'magically' hacked! hmm, maybe a coincidence, but they tried to buy like 5 phone increments at $25 each and they used stolen credit cards which could make my brother look like he was trying to commit cc fraud, so beware!

I would stick with earning your FB likes, they are targeted and they are legit and the safest way to go and honestly, they will get you way better results than any purchased "like" you ever get.

sidenote: I just read a week or two ago that someone in Israel actually named their baby girl "Like" after the FB like button, ...weird...

    I'll second that. I just bought some likes from Fiverr to see what it was and so there wouldn't be that big fat 0 showing all the time. People like to go where other people like to go so I wanted to make it appear as though other people were gathering.

    Anyway, all the likes came from fake Facebook accounts (which I already assumed would happen.) But most of them didn't have profile pictures and the ones that did had bad pictures.

    The worst part was that hardly none of the names sounded like real names. They were all just two random words put together like Skyline Treadmill, or Oceanliner Psychotherapy. I had to go through and delete most of them because it was so obvious.

    Thanks Derek. One never can be sure. I would personally never buy likes or 1+s. I don't believe that it is worth it. Most of the times you just get the volume, but the value. I think 100 targeted likes are much more worth than 10K only God knows from where likes.

      Yes, it seems like while there ARE tools and services out there that sound too-good-to-be-true but actually are legitimate and work, MOST are just taking advantage of us... We should be cautious whenever someone offers you something like this and do your due diligence. Both my brother and you had to learn the hard way and thank God my bro learned because I was considering do it too because some of these companies actually say they can get you targeted 'likes'... I recommend the course FBinfluence, you can find it on clickbank. Don't worry, it's completely different than most of the stuff there and the person who teaches this stuff, she's a real pro.

      exactly and how I'm viewing this is just like those people who tried to get a million followers on twitter just to have a huge number, it's such a waste of time. I actually know a girl on twitter who at the last time I talked to her almost a year ago, had only 300 twitter followers, but they were all in love with her and her click through rates to any link she sent them too was jaw dropping! I also agree that quality is always better than quantity.

    there's a warrior for hire selling these. You can buy targeted USA facebook likes instead of the cheaper worldwide ones. Other than that, I don't know much about the process.
