How Much Money Do Celebrities Make From Fake Accounts?

We follow our favorite artists, actors, publishers and more on social media platforms. However, every account we see on social media it may not be real. Especially celebrities who are loved by society complain about fake accounts.

Sometimes posts made from fake accounts to interesting statements we can match. So why do these people feel the need to open a celebrity’s fake account? As the verification platform Malumatfuruş shares on its website and Twitter, we frequently encounter these accounts on social media. Let’s take a closer look at their purpose.

The account opened in the name of Haluk Bilginer was even in the news.

Although Haluk Bilginer does not use Twitter, he is one of the names we come across with fake accounts the most. In the past days Haluk Bilginer at KPSS 2022 Asking questions about it was on the agenda of social media.

Even Haluk Bilginer made by fake account This post (which you saw above) was shared on news sites and it was reported that Bilginer thanked the students for their interest. Of course, it is quite difficult to understand that this is a fake account unless you look carefully. Because apart from the lack of a small letter in the username, it is not clear that the account is fake. Fortunately, this account, which even made the news, is currently closed.

Beyazıt Öztürk’s fake account created an event for a while.

From the outside, it may seem absurd that a fake Twitter account is a cause for concern. However, as you have seen above, Öztürk’s tweeting as if it were himself It managed to get thousands of likes. Moreover, after creating such an event, the username of the account was changed and it became ‘Bells Haber’.

The account that started as Beyazıt Öztürk’s parody account turned into “Bells Haber”. suspended after a while. However, before it was suspended, it was also advertised from different parody accounts.

We have seen that these advertisements are made through the fake accounts of Haluk Bilginer and Selçuk Method.

Advertisements for Bells Haber, one of the parody accounts of Bilginer and Method, brought some question marks to mind. for example all accounts may belong to the same person or persons as…

It is highly suspicious that after an account’s username changes, the new username starts to advertise from other parody accounts. For Sharing times and writing languages ​​of tweets also quite close to each other. In order for them to tweet this much in a row, they must either have received ads at the same time or be managed by the same people.

Selcuk Method’s fake account was closed after a while. However, the username of Haluk Bilginer’s fake account was changed.

The account and advertisements of Beyazıt Öztürk to Bells Haber started to be made by Selçuk Method. The parody account was closed after a while. However, the name of Haluk Bilginer’s account was changed to a news page in a similar way. If the name ‘foxhaber.com’ it happened.

Of course, this account was also closed in a short time. In other words, 2 of the 3 accounts that we think are managed by the same people went to a different username, but they all ended up the same. We continue to see similar situations on many different parody or fan accounts. Some are just imitating that celebrity is enough.

Although Celal Şengör has repeatedly stated that he does not use social media, his fake accounts do not look for him much.

Celal Şengör is not the only celebrity who says he doesn’t use a Twitter account.

Birce Akalay, Tamer Karadağlı, Türkan Şoray, Bergüzar Korel and Oya Başar names such as Twitter also announced that they do not use. However, when we go to Twitter and search for their names, we come across many accounts opened in their names. Among them, although the majority of pages opened by his fans and sharing well-intentioned posts about the famous name are in the majority, he shows himself as that person and creates this account. to livelihood There are also converts.

It is not difficult to guess that they earn money from many things, from their retweets to the tweets they send. Moreover, many of these advertisements illegal betting sites also includes.

Having difficulties in dealing with these accounts, Sezen Aksu also published a statement on her official website.

So what do these people mean with these posts they make from fake accounts?

The gist is very simple: ‘name’ people who are known and loved by society. to use. Accounts opened with the names of celebrities are instantly noticed by their fans. Moreover, these accounts “I opened a Twitter account” There may be some who believe that the person who opened the account is that famous. In this way, the number of followers is increasing rapidly.

After the number of followers increases, the color of the shares starts to change one click. For example, they can make money with advertisements and cause confusion by sharing their positive or negative views on social problems. However, as we can see in the account opened on behalf of Beyazıt Öztürk, after coming to a certain follower, this They can sell accounts.

When they sell accounts, they can earn thousands of lira.

According to the information given to us by a content producer who bought and sold Twitter accounts for a while; An account with 200,000 followers approximately 50 thousand TL can be sold. However, the accounts mentioned in the information we received do not include parody accounts. This amount may vary when you want to buy or sell a parody account.

As a result, in essence, even if you are buying an account with many followers, it should be noted that this amount may increase when the username is a familiar name.

Of course, it should not be forgotten that the account can be closed.

Many parody accounts we have counted, not currently active. Twitter takes a much stricter stance on bots and fake accounts than it used to. We see phrases such as “Parody” or “Fan” in the personal information section of many unverified accounts. The reason for this is against complaints that may go to Twitter. “I’m not impersonating a person, this is a parody account” to be able to say.

As a matter of fact, these phrases are often not sufficient. When you are complained by the name you opened the parody account or there are too many complaints about your account, Twitter can review and suspend the account. So if you bought this account wasted your money you can be.

How will we detect fake accounts?

There is more than one way to spot fake accounts. However, it is a little more difficult to understand whether the social media accounts of these names, whose photos can be found everywhere, are real or not. The first thing you can do for this is in the personal information section. parody or fan Check if there are any such expressions. Although there are phrases such as ‘Official’ or ‘Official’, most of these accounts belong to that name itself. Because even if it doesn’t belong to him, it was soon taken over by Twitter. detected and banned you can see.

Another thing you can do to different social media accounts and if there is one should have a look at the website. If you haven’t found any explanation about the account you suspect, you can also do a little Google search. These names we know can also make statements about their fake or real accounts on social media in their statements from time to time. Along with other social media accounts An inconsistency between Twitter posts It can also give information about whether the account is fake or not. For example, if you have just come out of an Istanbul concert on one account and you are in pain of love on the other account, it is most likely a fake account.

Let me state once again that; Not all of these accounts work the same. There are hundreds of accounts that open pages under the name of ‘fan’ just because they admire a celebrity and do no harm to anyone. Therefore, it would not be correct to put them all in the same basket. What you see on social media Don’t believe every Elon Musk.
