LOVE Island’s Samie Elishi has been accused of “scamming’ fans after launching her new business venture.
The reality star, 24, revealed her new side hustle that involved helping people earn while they travel.
Samie set up a new Insta profile called ‘Get away with Samie’ and her bio states: “For those who love to travel.”
She then asks her followers to ‘DM’ her if they want to get involved.
Despite travel pages being popular on Instagram, some fans have fumed that Samie has failed to reply to their messages.
One angry follower wrote on the reddit: “Last time I’ll give Samie’s MLM scam any air….She’s not even replying to DMs anymore.”
A second commented: “Fake they don’t reply,” while a third echoed: “She’s not replied to me either.”
A fourth asked: “Can someone explain what this actually is lol. I’m so confused on how she would even make money even if she recruits people.”
Someone else said: “This is a perfect example of how LI does not guarantee a career, especially in an industry that is already saturated. You should always have a second plan in case you don’t succeed.
“One thing I’ve noticed is that since S8 the brands have been more and more reluctant to work with islanders and I get the impression that only one or two islanders per season get contracts (those who’ve made the final) whereas before, even if you didn’t make the final, you could get one.”
But Samie was quick to clear things up and took to social media on Thursday to explain that she was in the process of responding.
While, many other celebrities also run similar travel accounts offering their followers a way to earn while they travel.
The Sun have reached out to Samie’s rep for comment.
Moving on
It comes after Samie went Instagram official with her Towie star boyfriend Harry Lee – as her ex Tom Clare moves on with Molly Smith.
Last month The Sun revealed that the pair had been secretly dating for a number of weeks.
Now the couple have made their relationship public on social media
Samie took to her Instagram story to wish her man a happy birthday.
The reality star shared an adorable snap of the pair smooching with the caption: “Happiest of birthdays to youuuu.”
A source told us last month: “They met out and about in Essex and have mutual friends.
“They are super close and have been spending a lot of time together.
“Samie and Harry are definitely in the honeymoon stage and have enjoyed getting to know each other out of the spotlight.”
