I can see how such a service would be tempting to try. Social media can be a nightmare, so a shortcut would definitely be welcome. But anything that easy is also probably too good to be true... I'm not on any social media, and I think I'll keep it that way, even if it means my career is doomed (it probably was anyway ;-)
I learned the hard way. I tried one out, thinking it would be a quick way to build a following for my Facebook author page. I added a few hundred new followers but they might as well be imaginary people. None interact with my posts and I'm quite certain none have ever bought or read any of my novels. It ended up being a huge waste of money.

Oh no! I'm sorry that happened to you. But it's good of you to give other writers a heads up.
