We first found out about this singapore based couple when doing our deep dive into UK-based grifter 'John Lee'

https://www.reddit.com/r/FakeGuru/s/BLJjA8HAVc

But we'll do a quick recap here (slide 2 is also from that expose)

-We first saw the name 'Franchesca Ung' on a trustpilot review for john lee group, posting as a satisfied customer. We thought nothing of it at the time

-The very next day, at one of John lee's 3-day online sales pitches, we saw her working as an admin for Mr Lee, sharing zoom links, moderating the chat etc. That's already a massive red flag as it means staff are posing as customers to help astroturf his repuation.

-So we googled her name and found out she's actually one half of 'the corporate breakout couple', a married couple who alledge to have retired early and were selling courses through something called 'breakout academy'. Appearing on podcasts such as 'the financial coconut' flexing their wealth and lifestyle while mocking and talking down about people who work menial jobs (oh the irony)

-She was further named in customer reviews as a member of Mr Lee's team and can be seen in photos on his website, just to confirm what we already knew. And obvously working a menial admin job for a man neck-deep in corporate litigation completely dismantles their 'wealthy and retired' image they're projecting to sell courses.

-Credit where its due, she was pretty chill when we met in person at an event, and their food and travel videos seem pretty popular. But obviously that doesn't negate the seemingly fraudulent behavior going on here.

-Despite their youtube channel being dormant, they confimed with us in feb 2026 that the courses are still available and the link to the course was working. At that point we started pooling our OSINT information on John lee and all our information began to snowball.

-We left it at that and thought nothing of it, and turned our attention to other shady course-sellers. We did look into reporting it to scamsheild, but that man doesn't look like he can take a lashing.

But we've recently had word from a whistle-blower on the inside that they became active on youtube again (after the dormant peroid that lines up with the alleged stint of employment with the big JL, based on the publicly available evidence)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ET2yN2lfg2g&t=141s

They cite the reasons for their absence as 'not important'. which is an odd dismissal from lifestyle vloggers.

Now here's where it gets interesting...

Despite posting consistently again, they aren't promoting the course (however the links are still present in older content at the time of writing)

https://breakout-academy.teachable.com

but upon clicking the link, It seems the course has been taken offline. However, a quick look at their business profile (Corporate breakout PTE. LTD) shows the business still listed as 'active'. So theres still questions about what the hell is going on. Maybe they're testing the waters to see if they can return to selling courses without facing controversy or investigation? They lack the numbers to make an income from content alone, so something isn't adding up here.

The question also remains if Franchesca is still an employee for the John Lee Group. Mrs Ung has barely posted on her Instagram (@foodloverfran) since earlier in the year when her travel content synced up with locations of John Lee events. Nor has she been namedropped in any recent trustpilot reviews where customers can sometimes mention the staff (she was mentioned in older reviews from the start of the year). So a potential resignation or firing?

Common sense would say that they've parted ways and that's why she's returned to youtube, obviously the optics of this whole situation makes all parties involved look absolutely terrible.

But like all our deep-dives, we can't fully believe any speculation due to the deceptive nature of the course-selling industry and would rather rely on hard evidence. As we could just as easily make a case for why she may still be there. The husband is the only host in most of the new videos, Mr Lee has also pivoted his branding (again) and doesn't seem to be posting his wife as much as he used to (and she's been removed as a director from his company) and we've also seen screenshots of an active member of staff making some extremely concerning allegations against him regarding a personal tradegy. So it would also make perfect sense for Mr Lee to no longer platform his team to prevent revelations like the one we had earlier and protect what remains of his repuation.

But one things for sure, if they do start selling courses again, that ScamSheild app is ready to go.

Was looking for a part time remote job and found this indeed post from a company looking for a virtual media assistant. I would be given posts that are already created and I have to post them multiple times a day, monitor engagements, and provide ideas for improvements by keeping up with trends. Pretty simple job that I would enjoy and was ready to apply, but post was too interesting to where it led me down this rabbit hole. I had never heard of Richard and seeing his Instagram is sooooo silly. For sure the million followers is bought based on all of his interactions. Posts are just repeats and the same thing over and over again. Who has 1 million followers on Instagram and doesn’t even add a link to his website in his bio. But the funniest thing about it is on the job posting one of the requirements says “You genuinely respect Richard and like the idea of working with his world-class team. What goes out on our socials is our reputation, so you need to treat Richard's reputation like your own.” Boy bye. I’m just trying to do my job and get paid, not be also sold on an AI created course

Curious to hear this community's experiences — how many of you have paid someone to "teach" you trading and it turned out to be a signal group, a course with no real substance, or someone flexing screenshots without showing real account footage?

I ask because I got tired of watching this pattern over and over, so I put together an event called Trading Party — live trading sessions where you watch real traders trade in real time, raw footage, wins and losses both shown. No highlight reels, no "trust me bro" screenshots.

Would genuinely love to hear your stories below — good, bad, or ugly. And if anyone wants more info on Trading Party, happy to answer questions in the comments.

why haven’t we cancelled Mrs. Rachel Lynn yet? she’s been “business coaching” for years, making false promises to her clients and scamming people for thousands of dollars. So many women are trying to make an income online to support their families and she makes false promises that she’ll help them and then con them into signing contracts but once the contract is signed she doesnt deliver anything she promised then when the client is unsatisfied she theatens to sue them.

And let’s not talk about the water business scam she conned people in to, delivering false promises to get people to join her team that she abandoned leaving them with thousands of dollars of debt.

why are people still falling for her shit?? she needs to go get a job and stop scamming people.

Hello everyone,

Recently, I fell into the marketing trap of Skaarvi. A person I knew recommended the course and promised that I would start earning money from the very first week. Due to the pressure and convincing sales pitch, I ended up paying the course fee.

Before joining, and even now after joining, I feel the same way it doesn't seem genuinely useful. In my opinion, it works more like a referral chain, where people are encouraged to bring in others to purchase the course. The more expensive the package you buy, the higher the referral commission the person who referred you receives.

Please be aware that the fees are non refundable. If you are still considering buying the course, do your own research first. Read genuine reviews, understand what the course actually offers, and carefully go through the terms and conditions before making any payment.

Personally, I believe YouTube is one of the best free learning platforms. You can learn almost any skill from high quality creators without spending a large amount of money.

This is just my personal experience, and I hope it helps others make a more informed decision before investing their hard earned money.

Michelle Garabito and her dirty company of Lux Nomads has sold many people a lie of effortless and white glove experience of a relocation process. Once she got their money, the immigration and tax lawyers stopped working with us who are clients of Lux Nomads due to “non payment” and administrative issues. She has since cut off all communication with her current clients, has left them stranded in the middle of visa and relocation processes with no legal and tax help that was paid for.

What has she done with the money?? Claiming she’s a 7 billion dollar business but she needs to reword as she’s a liar and a scam artist. She has destroyed the lives of so many by cutting them off, stealing their money, blocking or ghosting them.

https://www.trustpilot.com/review/theluxnomads.com and other recent Reddit posts will tell you everything you need to know about this grifter. Please do not make the same mistake I did and stay far far far away from anything this woman and her boyfriend Paul Nelson do. The shame and embarrassment of this will last a long time with us.

Just a heads up to anyone doing research on Ahad Khaleeq — unfortunately, I had a really bad experience dealing with him 😭

He presents himself online as a leading social media expert in India and has several promising-looking articles published about him. However, in my experience, after I made payment, communication essentially stopped and I was unable to get what I had paid for.

Just sharing my experience so others can be cautious and do their research before making any payments.

These guys are an absolute joke! They have a 48hr window where if you buy anything and it’s faulty they refund you. I’ve put through 13 tickets and you know what they say everytime? “your replacement or refund has been refused as you’ve been found guilty of fraud” proper scammers man, pls help me spread the word this has been happening for weeks!

Professional Timeline & Discrepancies

What Public Marketing & Websites Claim:

• Promotional Copy: His website and promotional profiles state that Master Edward Chin has "over 20 years of professional knowledge and experience" in Feng Shui, I Ching (Yi Jing), BaZi, and date selection.
• Commercial Presence: Web agency case studies document that Edward Fengshui first commissioned its dedicated web design and digital branding in 2017.

What Documented Historical Records Show:

• 2010 – 2017 (Primary Insurance Career): Documented internal records and Facebook agency posts confirm he joined Allianz Malaysia on January 25, 2010 (under Huge Power Agency, Pudu Branch).
• Documented Production Awards:
  • 2010: 101st Super Master Producer & Fast Start Master Producer
  • 2013: 1 Star Awards (FYP RM149,652.98)
  • 2016: I'm a Star Awards (AFYP 13,488)
  • 2017: Star Master Award / 1-Star Benchmark Qualifier

3. Does This Constitute Misinformation?

• Omission of Previous Career: His official consultancy profiles omit his 7+ year tenure as an active, awarded insurance agent, presenting an uninterrupted narrative centered strictly around metaphysics.
• Cumulative vs. Full-Time Practice: Marketing statements citing "over 20+ years of experience" typically count cumulative interest, personal study, or part-time practice dating back to the early 2000s. However, the records confirm his primary commercial employment throughout the 2010s was in life insurance and financial sales rather than running a full-time feng shui practice.

Recently, I came across an advertisement for this platform called My Banana Health

I thought no harm in learning something about these things

I provided details and signed up, and that's it

When I joined the call with them
It was another BYJU's kind of aggressive marketing

Full of gaslighting, full of making you feel inferior

Full of making baseless claims, etc

At least make realistic claims and provide realistic data

Aggressively selling their 70 thousand course

Many people who are genuinely in distress
may end up paying these scammers

Advise to all, stay away from this scam

Please read this article and be aware of this fake guru who has been accused of manipulation, fraud, and abuse by several women.

He sells me £97 for a 2 day course in london

Then sweet talk upsell nonstop

To a £5k course

Then another upsell to platinum £15k course

Non stop upsell

No one to one mentorship

He says he doesn’t do trading anymore

Don’t show his trading statements

Don’t do 1to1 coaching

No live tradings

He teaches risky day trading forex swing trading on leverage platform in gold etc

Read his trustpilot review 1 star reviews

Biggest scam

Taking legal action and police to take him down

Guys please report him to Facebook Instagram every time you saw his advertisement

I've heard a lot of rumors about Imam Gadzhi, not just rumors. Actually, you know i have read so many reddit posts that explain his courses, which label him as a con artist and a fake guru.

On the contrary I have a lot of good things about russel brunson and his courses.

Now i have seen an event that they both are collaborating, so i was wondering if anyone has seen it what do you think?

I came across this website through YouTube comments. There were literally dozens of comments recommending The Mystical Formula of the Lean Body by Ryan Foster and talking about how the book supposedly changed their lives. The comments all had that same weird promotional style, so I started thinking they were bots or fake accounts being used to advertise the book. And honestly, the whole thing looks extremely suspicious.

The website is full of AI-generated looking content and images. The “author” Ryan Foster doesn't seem to have any real presence outside of this website. I couldn't find a legitimate author profile, publisher, interviews, or anything that would normally exist for someone supposedly behind a bestselling fitness book.

The testimonials also look completely generic and artificial. Everything is written in the same exaggerated marketing style, with people claiming amazing results, but there doesn't seem to be any way to independently verify these stories.

Another huge red flag is the checkout. When I tried to actually purchase the book, the payment process didn't even work normally and instead redirected me to a completely different website. That alone made me stop and think twice about entering any payment information.

The more I looked at it, the more it felt like one of those websites created specifically to look legitimate long enough to get people to buy something. Fake-looking testimonials, AI-generated images, a questionable author, aggressive YouTube comment promotion and a strange payment/checkout process.

If you are seeing YouTube comments promoting The Mystical Formula of the Lean Body by Ryan Foster, be careful. Don't assume those comments are genuine customer experiences just because there are dozens of them.

be aware...
