EXCLUSIVE Why Tammy Hembrow has been been caught up in a FURIOUS online row over a social media giveaway that has cost dozens of small business owners a lost fortune Have YOU had any involvement with Matt Stevenson? Email: [email protected] By Max Aitchison For Daily Mail Australia Published: 00:46 EDT, 31 October 2024 | Updated: 00:47 EDT, 31 October 2024 e-mail View comments A social media giveaway allegedly involving influencer Tammy Hembrow has left dozens of small business owners thousands of dollars out of pocket.
Mum-of-three Hembrow, 30, was claimed to be the face of a new campaign being run by 'e-commerce mentor' Matt Stevenson and his 'Influencer Giveaways' firm at the start of the year. It offered dozens of small business owners the chance to gain up to 16,000 followers by paying $1,200 to have their profiles boosted in an unspecified social media giveaway featuring the fitness influencer and her 17 million followers in March this year. Hembrow has previously taken part in a similar successful scheme with Mr Stevenson which saw participants enter a lottery for a free Mercedes Benz.
But despite luring in businesses with the promise of Hembrow's involvement in a new giveaway, six months later the companies who signed up say the promotion has never materialised. Hembrow's representatives have also sought to distance her from the new venture. Max Connecters, the influencer PR firm who represent Hembrow, said she 'is in no way affiliated or aware of any givea.
