These days many people measure their prestige and social standing not just by
their real-world influence, but their online one too.
Journalists, politicians and celebrities in particular are known to be
competitive about who has the most followers and friends on social networks like
Twitter and Facebook.
And those with a lot of influence, can even leverage this with advertisers to
make money.
But what if you could simply buy your friends and followers online?
Mukul Devichand of #BBCTrending tracked down a man who has made this his line
of business. Although not a criminal offence, using and selling fake followers
is a violation of most social network's terms of service.
Please beware of this scam. You only get more followers on twitter based on how often you twit and your popularities.
