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."

While, many other celebrities also run similar travel accounts offering their followers a way to earn while they travel.

It comes after Samie went Instagram official with her Towie star boyfriend Harry Lee - as her ex Tom Clare moves on with Molly Smith.
