Why Tammy Hembrow has been been caught up in a FURIOUS online row

A social media giveaway allegedly involving influencer Tammy Hembrow has left dozens of small business owners thousands of dollars out of pocket. Max Connecters, the influencer PR firm who represent Hembrow, said she 'is in no way affiliated or aware of any giveaways with Matt Stevenson', according to an email seen by Daily Mail Australia. Tammy Hembrow previously took part in a similar scheme with Matt Stevenson which saw participants enter a lottery for a free Mercedes Benz and she featured prominently in promotional material for Mr Stevenson's current scheme Marketing specialist Bronte Godschalk, who signed up to the current giveaway because she wanted to promote her chocolate brownie brand, said she had heard 'nothing but radio silence' from Mr Stevenson and accused him of running an 'unscrupulous scheme'. In an email obtained by this publication, Max Connecters, the influencer PR firm that represents Hembrow, said that she 'is in no way affiliated or aware of any giveaways with Matt Stevenson' The giveaway was funded by an offer to small business owners to boost their followings on social media by up to 15,000, in addition to access to marketing emails, in exchange for $1,200. Clare Civello, who hoped to boost the profile of her clothing brands and her sustainable shoe wipe company, suggested Mr Stevenson could have up to $100,000 of other people's money Mr Stevenson ran a successful promotion with Hembrow in March last year which promised entrants the chance to win a free Mercedes Benz A-Class sedan worth an estimated $75,000 Several business owners are now considering legal action in an attempt to recoup their money.
