With the increasing number of scams over social media and online platforms, it’s constantly becoming difficult for professionals to build up trust online. Here’s another story of Juan Willson, a freelancing marketing strategist. Juan helps his clients by growing their social media accounts and achieving Instagram-verified accounts for clients. This is more popular among content creators on Instagram to make their presence even stronger on social media sites. A client named “Gleise Jane Rabelo” at the end of 2021 approached Juan to get her Instagram account verified. Here’s link to her instagram Account – https://www.instagram.com/gleise
The Project was to establish her presence online as a Music Artist and make her Instagram account to be a verified account. This was much before Meta launched its subscription program to get a blue tick over the account for $15. This Mera subscription program started in March. Before March 2023, the task of verifying accounts wasn’t as easy as it is now. So, the entire project of Gleise Jane Rabelo was decided for the Total price of $9400.
arrange this text in microsfoft word format “Juan used his expertise and knowledge to get her account verified (she got the Blue Tick over her Instagram account) in 6 months in June 2022. She said to pay for the project on completion. On successful completion of the project, the lady kept Juan waiting for the payment. Juan trusted the lady and managed the project cost by himself, trusting the fact that she would pay the amount once she had it. This has been going on since then, she avoided Juan’s call for payment of the balance amount, nor did she reply to him on time. Even then Juan kept his patience level high and cooperated with her. Reminding her over texts and calls for the payment of the balance amount. After so many calls and messages and keeping Juan on hold for the payment, she paid only $4000, with $5400 yet to be paid. Even those $ 4000 were paid after continuous reminders of 8 months. After this scenario, she blocked him. To date, the payment is on hold. All the followers and engagements on Gleise’s Instagram handle are fake, she spent money to have them all. Her biography on Google is shown as a music artist, all because Juan worked constantly to create her presence over the Internet and then made her account achieve verified status with “Blue Tick”. People like Gleise Jane Rabelo are the ones who never let mankind believe in each other even for the smallest of favors that would work as a helping hand for another one. Breaking the trust such that no professional could trust his clients later is the worst thing that could happen to freelancers who begin projects with nothing but their skills and Trust over clients.
