Doesn't Give Refunds

This is crazy, I purchased TWO speed plans for 1 year each for my business, which is over one thousand dollars. Within ten days, one of my accounts got blocked. I was able to get Instagram to unblock it, I then called and requested to get a refund (for only one of the accounts) because I am worried that my account will get permanently blocked. Joan refused my refund and told me she will escalate but there is a 0 chance for a refund. I can't believe how this company does business. She even stated that if accounts get blocked because of what THEY DO, they will not refund... insane... Stay away!

PLEASE LEARN FROM OUR MISTAKES

I was one of the ones that fell into the trap, I ordered their service because I was desperate for growth then I went to this site just to make sure that It was a legit company, after I saw all of the reviews I was horrified especially since I saw that they were not giving refunds.

Their refund policy clearly states that you have 30 days to inquire a refund, I literally waited 4 hours after buying it because I really didn't want bots or Instagram flagging my account like it did with a lot of their customers and what do you know.

Did not use their service at all so I cant really talk about their service but their refund policy is complete BS, tried talking with them 3 times and all three they came up with excuses to not refund the money. I'm currently trying to dispute the charge with my credit card.

Moral of the story, just grow your own Instagram and don't use these services, their so desperate for money that they create whatever excuse they have to not give your money back :(

DO NOT USE NITREO!!!

Let me preface by saying that I've never ever written a bad review, so if I'm writing this, you know the experience was terrible.

I signed up with Nitreo on 31-MAR-2021 (less than a week ago at the time of writing this review). They have a warm up period of about 2-3 days so I wasn't expecting any crazy growth initially. However, once the service was activated, Nitreo started following accounts pretty aggressively. In just a couple of days, the number of accounts I was following increased by over 150%. That was the first red flag. However, I remained patient (everyone deserves a fair chance).

But even after that, my account had shown 0 growth, yes, literally zero followers were added and all I could see was crazy amounts of people I was following, stories viewed, comments liked, etc. I knew then it wasn't going to end well. So I first cancelled my subscription to avoid being charged again (I knew there's no way I'm continuing with Nitreo). The final nail in the coffin was when my account was action blocked for a week by Instagram. And all it took was a week for Nitreo to get me there.

I also want to add that I wasn't using any other growth service during this time. I even stopped any manual activity to give Nitreo a chance to shine, as mentioned by my account manager, Andy.

Getting action blocked was it for me. I've requested a full refund on my subscription and as expected, Nitreo came back with all sorts of excuses as to why they can't do that. I'm well within my rights to get a full refund as per their policy (30 days). What can be a more valid reason than not getting any growth through Nitreo and to make it worse, getting action blocked.

[UPDATE] 9-APR-2021: I can confirm that I've received a full refund for my subscription. Thank you for writing back to me and for the refund, I appreciate it.. all the best!

NO REFUNDS AND TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE

I was using their partner company Upleap before I was recommended by their team to sign up for Nitreo since they were being taken over by them. I was told that they would offer the same services so I went ahead and signed up for Nitreo. TERRIBLE DECISION. After 1 day I realized their main function is to follow/unfollow people which is definitely NOT what Upleap does. So I asked for a full refund (in my case I bought the yearly plan more than $400) and they refused to give me a refund. My engagement did not increase and the amount of people they had my account follow was up 400+, insane...how would that not be noticeable to Instagram? Definitely treading a thin line with Instagram rules. Save yourself a headache and lost money with this company. Totally not trustworthy. Customer service takes over 8 hours to respond to any email you send them. And they will take your money. Really tried to work with them in trying to get my money back in a civil way but since they only offered "pro-credit" or an "extension of their service" I had to write this review. Why would I do that after being misled into purchasing a terrible service that does not increase engagement or legit followers? I asked for a refund just 1 day after my purchase and now $400 has disappeared. Do yourself a favor and FIND SOMETHING ELSE!

3/29 update: no one reached out to me (after 3 days) so I reached out to your team. Got an automated reply about delays...not surprised.

4/3 update: Nitreo team asked me to remove the dispute I opened on my bank's end. Told me they would refund me after that was done. So I closed the dispute and double checked with Nitreo. Still no refund.

4/15 update: Still no refund. Looks like they're trying to buy time so that the refund time window with my bank can expire. Definitely reporting this to my bank.

4/28 update: Bank refunded the amount on their end. Finally, this is over but unfortunately had to be reported.

Avoid at all costs

Really bad experience. Customer service was absolutely terrible. It's a mix of automated messages and people just not even listening to what you were saying, or what the issue was. Super dated method of follow/unfollow method. Would not issue a refund, and tried to reason about something that is not part of their terms of service. Felt scammy in all honesty. Much better tools out there, not worth the headache.

Old recipe with new name

Everything started well with nitreo it started following bunch of people and in response people started following, targeting worked well but in 9 days account got blocked...there is no direct option to stop the recurring monthly payment so I had to contact the bank to set the stop payment. Overall its a old recipe with new name. This thing will not work in 2021.

Don't trust this site

Don't trust this site. It is a scam. They will charge you and not give you refunds even though you cancel your subscription with them. Plus their methods of getting you followers will only get you in trouble with instagram. And their so called andy who is their account manager is no help at all. Probably a bogus person anyways. Trust me, avoid them like the plague.

Terrible experience from day one. I asked for a refund within five minutes of starting because they hide the fact they use the terrible practice of follow/unfollow... and Andy told me he wouldn't issue a refund after 5 minutes of buying it. So, I issued a chargeback for services not delivered.

Hey Bob,

I am sorry to hear you are experiencing this.

This is very unusual and should not happen at all. Cases like this may happen when the user is performing too many actions alongside Nitreo.

If your account was suspended, you can reach out to Instagram Support directly and they will be able to restore your account in a few days. You can also reach out to me at andy@nitreo.com and I will get you a refund to compensate for the inconvenience.

More annoyed than impressed

I recently gave Nitreo a try and after a few days of usage I decided to cancel. I had no issues with who they targeted and the followers I gained. They were all location and hashtag relevant. What I was primarily concerned with was the amount of people they were following. This is clearly their main focus to build accounts. After only a few days I had followed nearly 1000 new accounts. One of their selling points is muting all the new accounts they follow so you will never see their posts or stories. They will then unfollow these accounts after a certain period. They did mute the new accounts to begin with but Instagram froze the mute feature for my account because Nitreo had used it far too many times. Rather than holding off on following new accounts until the feature was active again, Nitreo continued on. Sure I gained a couple hundred new followers, but I am now left with hundreds of unmuted accounts being followed and over 1000 accounts to unfollow.

Total scam

Total scam. They offer no growth aside from fake accounts and seem to have very shady business practices. I was trying to grow my business account and decided to give them a try. All the did was take access of my account and follow random people from foreign countries (I operate my business solely in the US). You'll have better growth just running paid media on Instagram than using these people

Hey Linda,

Thanks for reaching out and reviewing us.

We try our best to work on your account and get you the best results, however, we rely heavily on the targets you select. If targets with a global audience are selected, we won't be able to focus on a location. For this reason, we have location targeting built in as well, which can be set up on your dashboard if you are on the speed plan.

I understand this experience wasn't optimal for you, and you have my apologies.

If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to me at andy@nitreo.com.

Have a great day,

Andy.

they have literally withdrawn money from my bank account even if I've cancelled the services 10min after I've subscribed. I haven't used their services at all, not even connected my social media account and they billed me for a full month. Quite shocking!

Not enough, but trustworthy

Real followers, nothing to say about it. But the numbers are very bad, hundreds of following by day and very few in return.

Tried to contact the customer service (who answered quite fast) but didn't give me any new solution to grow my account better.

Not satisfied, but there's no scam and we get real followers so it could be worse.

All in all pretty good. Does what it says. Gets you authentic followers and helps your online business grow; if that’s what you’re after. Can be a tad slow on the odd day, but updates are frequent and the support team seem on the ball, so I imagine the service will get even better. Time will tell, though so far so good!

Don’t sign up.

I do not recommend this service. It started off ok, I was able to have a couple meetings with their staff to optimize my engagement but ultimately I wasn’t getting qualified followers. I didn’t want my Instagram account to be full of fake or unqualified accounts so I quit. Then Instagram kept telling me my account was compromised and I needed to change my password so I regretted ever doing it in the first place. I saw that my account was logged in in Serbia or somewhere else so it’s all being outsourced.

Total miss on target demographic

I used this service and cancelled within a week. My intention was to grow followers for a wholesome baby blanket business and the interactions I was getting were seemingly fake accounts or accounts all with half naked girls or guys and their muscle cars, largely from Eastern European countries. It was a total miss though I provided like accounts / competitor as well as hashtags.
