Tanja Makaric, influencer and friend of Julian Classen, fell for a prank by Youtuber Marvin Wildhage. After the scam was exposed, some fans reacted angrily.
Tanja Makaric, who regularly uses her Instagram account for advertising collaborations, was Marvin Wildhage tricked. Wildhage is known for putting influencers in awkward situations with his pranks. This time, Tanja was promoting a supposed brand called “Zodiac Essential” that offered chakra cards and healing stones. However, it was a fake product staged by Wildhage. He had already carried out similar pranks with alleged beauty products on other influencers in the past.
The reactions of the fans
After the prank was uncovered, Tanja Makaric commented on Instagram. She justified her involvement in the promotion, stressing that she believes in the power of healing crystals and the universe. However, not all of her fans responded with enthusiasm. In the comments on Instagram, some expressed their anger that Tanja fell for the prank. Some accused her of just wanting to make money and criticized her for deleting comments. So far, Tanja Makaric has not commented on the criticism.
Not the first case
This isn’t the first time influencers have been tricked by Marvin Wildhage. Enisa Bukvic and Vanessa Mariposa have already fallen victim to his fake products. It often seems to be the case that influencers do not inform themselves about products in advance and end up in a prank.
Influencers bear responsibility
This incident shows once again that influencers have a great responsibility when it comes to choosing their advertising partners and disseminating information. The impact and credibility of influencers on their followers is high, so they should carefully consider which brands and products they associate with.
