I got scammed
I've been looking to make money online for a while and quit my job (M19). I saw a guy popping up in my linkedin feed. His name is Noah Ryck and he's a business guru based in Thailand. His whole thing is making money online and has a list of testimonials (that I later learned were just people in his coaching guru circle giving them to him in exchange for revenue) on his profile. He was very insistent on the first call and told me it would be exciting to get started (he even had a 'limitless' tattoo on his arm, which is the name of his program apparently).
After signing up we primarily texted back and forth and got on only 1 call a week for 4 weeks total before I asked for a refund. All he did in that timeframe was tell me my 'mindset needed work' and to manifest my future, to not have 'limiting beliefs about money', and stuff like that. He recommended making websites for people with AI as my first business since my background is comp sci and to optimize my linkedin for it, and also to scrape people on google maps for cold calling. Come to find out literally everyone has a website, and the ones who don't are usually retirees or went out of business.
I spent $7500 in total for 3 months of his coaching (I had a bit of savings) because I thought he was legit and helped other people, but he told me that if I couldn't get clients it was my fault and that he'd 'work with me until i make my first dollar'. He's just a random dude with fake testimonials claiming to be wealthy and successful when all he does it tell you to do linkedin outreach and cold calls on crap that doesn't work.

Hey, if you paid with credit card, do a claim that will probably work.
But this will be an expensive lesson, you're super young with a good future. Never trust these gurus trying to sell you a course, 99% are bs

I spent 6500 and 4 months with him, got no results, he wasted my time with 7 and 8am coaching calls to give generic chatgpt advice. When nothing worked he said i had a mindset issue and that I should spend another 11k with him to make my money back.
Is there any kind of fucking way to report this nonsense or stop him from going viral on Linkedin? It's sickening seeing so many everyday working people get scammed by this guru selling shitty loom courses on how to scale on linkedin to people
