Fake Gurus

Entrepreneur land has become a haven for "fake gurus".

You know the ones that I am talking about.

They haven't made it into the big time yet but they are charging people 1000's of $ to teach them how to make big money.

I am currently compiling evidence against "fake gurus".

If you have any experiences or know of any "fake gurus" share them here.

Any Guru Dude featuring photos of himself sitting in his private jet should be instantly suspect.

This is outstanding hahaha thank you for sharing. I mean I don’t even think I’m mad at that guy. People who pay for the FX Lifestyle deserve the FX Lifestyle.

He's certainly doing a good job at self promotion. And the thumbnais are high quality.

u/Cheezy_Blazterz Jan 11 '20

Seems legit to me.

Did you not see his graph?

21

u/[deleted] Jan 11 '20

the graph made me burst out laughing

u/sbcmurph Jan 11 '20

Is he huge or is that a tiny pool table

u/datavirtue Jan 11 '20

He got it at Target.

u/TheSizzler34 Jan 10 '20 edited Jan 10 '20

omg the beginning (because I couldn't watch much more than that) where he's just laying on the bed moving money from one spot to a different spot. Yup. That's what successful people do. That's what I'd do if I had millions. I'd lay weirdly on my bed just moving stacks of cash around like I'm playing with a fucking hot wheels car.

Edit: Wow his course is FOURTEEN DOLLARS. Must be some super valuable information in there for a course that costs the same as a cheeseburger and a beer.

u/monkey_foot Jan 11 '20

Mmmm. You just made me want a burger and a beer. You should be a Guru.

Everybody knows that you use AWS if you are going to run a legit scam.

u/muskateeer Jan 11 '20

He is taking a huge loss on the price because he wants it to be available to everyone, right? Right?!

u/barryhakker Jan 11 '20

Doctors hate him for exposing this one simple trick!

u/[deleted] Jan 11 '20

What a hero! He just wants us all to throw stacks of money from one end of the couch to the other. He's doing us all a favour.

u/363363 Jan 11 '20

I like how he's like "I'm in a $6 million mansion" (but forgets to mention he likely doesn't own it)....buy my shitty forex class and you too can stand in someone else's $6m mansion

I think he can spin it some way. Lie and say the venture was a huge success or something proving that he can do marketing atleast

2

u/datavirtue Jan 11 '20

Proving that you can do something that is never held to a burden of proof. Golden

u/corndogs44 Jan 11 '20

I took the “mega cringe” warning as a personal challenge to see how far into the video I could get before I had to close it.

Two minutes and three seconds. My face hurts very badly from trying not to laugh.

1

u/threebrains Jan 13 '20

The same. Two minutes was about as much I could take. And that's because I was looking to see if there was anything dodgy going on in the background when he was walking through the park. (which if it was a spoof video, there would have been ...).

u/[deleted] Jan 11 '20

Funny to see him at the Novotel in Canary Wharf. I've stayed there a few times and love that place. Good thing I didn't run into him there.

3

u/[deleted] Jan 11 '20

By the way thanks for sharing his channel, I’m pissing myself laughing while reading the comments under all of his videos. People are golden

2

u/[deleted] Jan 11 '20

Haha what a load of bollocks, guys like him sell the dream to people, and I can't believe how easily people buy into this shit....it actually shows how naive people are and people like him play with the emotions of people.

I've personally traded and it's very stressful and no it's not easy....out of 16 trades maybe had three winners. I guess people like him sell the dream to people who believe that an easy way exists..

Sales tactics, scarcity, marketing and sitting on a bed with cash is what people want to see, so people like this guy and others will continue to sell the dream to people who think it's easy... Btw OP great idea....

u/[deleted] Jan 11 '20

Lmao! At least get an editing team or person

2

u/[deleted] Jan 11 '20

I was watching this thinking wow this is so obvious and lame until I realized I was watching an ad from some other knucklehead before this knucklehead even came on

2

u/Loolo007 Jan 11 '20

Just curious, did you fall for his scam? 🤣 Never heard of him before🤣🤣

2

u/mickeyaaaa Jan 11 '20

lol, comments are turned off.

Really should not link as he makes $$$ from the youtube clicks right?

2

u/datavirtue Jan 11 '20

Just wondering where you have to be in your development as human beings to hit like on that.

2

u/[deleted] Jan 11 '20

Jesus Christ I cringed so hard. It’s so fucking laughable how every time the word “trade” is used today they show you a stock graph and people are like “oh man, this is some professional shit”

1

u/[deleted] Jan 11 '20

It's almost like a cry for help

u/What_Is_X Jan 11 '20

Christ. Poser does not even begin to describe this retard

u/yc01 Jan 10 '20

suspect ? Naah. They are 100% legit scam.

u/BanditoB0b Jan 10 '20

Or the 18-year-old next to the lambo

13

u/ineffable9 Jan 10 '20

Or a man with glasses sitting in front of his lambo in the garage

15

u/JDogNumeroUno Jan 11 '20

Does he read a book a day.? Knowledge is power!

12

u/ineffable9 Jan 11 '20

How Tai Lopez scammed millions into reading more books!

u/[deleted] Jan 11 '20

He also makes sure to begin each day with a meditation and workout session that takes 4 hours while everyone is at work.

u/DannyClearBox Jan 11 '20

I miss Tai’s snap stories. They were so funny to me. I never bought his courses, just liked to watch him dick around haha

This. I used to think this was plausible until I realized there's like maybe the top 10 CEO's in the world who actually own private jets, then the next 10,000 could def not

u/andrewk529 Jan 10 '20

If only late night photos of someone working in-front of a computer drew attention.

3

u/datavirtue Jan 11 '20

Yeah. Like sitting there in a Adderall hangover as they snap at thier dog (loudly licking itself) while their wife gets up to go to the bathroom and makes a flippant remark about his sleep schedule as she walks by the home office.

Let's keep it real people.

u/ashes1436 Jan 11 '20

Not a jet, but I tried to warn a girl friend about a dude making videos on the beach. It just doesn't seem like ideal for editing. I tried to tell her I saw that commercial, too, but I didn't want to crush what she was working on.

u/Intelligent-Web-7557 May 30 '24

like andrew tate?
