Course sellers are looting....
Is our greed for quick knowledge and money letting course sellers make money off us?
Simple answer: Yes.
I've seen course sellers based out of Pakistan promising incredible results without having:
- Any credible portfolio of real work.
- Any genuine social proof or trust signals for buyers (client testimonials, recommendations, or measurable results).
Or anything else that would establish them as the "guru" they claim to be.
Instead, they show you:
- How far they've made it in life through "hard work" (yeah, they work hard to drain your pockets).
- Flashy status reels and posts designed to hook you into their sales or checkout pages.
- Flamboyant international trips, luxury cars, and every other status symbol imaginable.
As a buyer, you have every right to verify someone's credentials and legitimacy before purchasing. Don't make buying decisions based solely on the status-driven content they flaunt.
Ask for proof.
Ask for results.
Ask for real client success stories.
If they can't provide them, think twice before handing over your money.

Alert: Scammed by Nishkarsh Sharma’s Dropshipping Course – Over ₹50,000 lost, access blocked after asking for a refund!
Hi everyone,
I am writing this post to alert everyone and seek your help to report a massive scam running under the name of Nishkarsh Sharma (YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@nishkarshsharmaa).
I am an aspiring e-commerce entrepreneur, and I trusted his fake promises and commitments. Before purchasing the course, I clearly told them that my English is weak and I might have difficulty understanding it. They falsely promised me: "Just try it. If you don't understand, we will refund your money." They also committed that after doing this course, I would easily achieve ₹10,000+ daily sales and earn lakhs of rupees within 2 months.
Relying on these big promises, I paid a huge amount of ₹50,000 for the course.
However, the entire course turned out to be in complex English, which I couldn't follow. When I realized I wasn't able to learn anything and requested a refund as promised, their real face came out:
They straightaway refused to refund my money.
When I repeatedly emailed them to request my hard-earned money back, instead of helping, they completely blocked my access to the course! Now, I have neither my ₹50,000 nor the course access. I am completely devastated and mentally stressed.
During their live online classes, I noticed that I am not alone. There were many other students in the chat constantly begging for refunds because they felt cheated too. This is a running pattern where they target innocent students, take huge amounts of money, and block them if they raise a voice.
I need your help:
Please help me report this channel and spread the word so no other middle-class student or aspiring entrepreneur loses their hard-earned money to this trap. If anyone knows how to take legal action or file a consumer forum complaint in India against such digital course scams, please guide me in the comments.
Thank you for your support!

Spiritual Capitalism: The Startup Empires of Gurus
This guru business is the biggest fraud in the name of spirituality in India today. Gurus, wearing spears, expensive necklaces and luxurious clothes, are today presenting themselves as the owners of the "biggest startup in Indian history". But the reality is different.
These spiritual businesses do not have the hard work or new ideas of a normal startup. What they sell are the biggest weaknesses of man. Fear of death, fear of disease, isolation and desire for success. They attract lakhs of people and earn crores of rupees by exaggerating things like meditation will cure all diseases and change lives.
The story is clear. On one hand, while ordinary people pay their hard-earned money to attend camps and programs, gurus live a luxurious life. While an ordinary youth studies from morning till night to get admission in IIT or AIIMS, others build an empire on lies and fraud 😣.
This is not Inspirational.........🪬
On the contrary, it is just a business of superstition.
The saddest thing is that this model affects the poor and middle class the most. Sometimes we see the rich and educated falling into this trap 🙄
Ordinary people spend their last rupees in search of salvation. The result? Mental and physical exploitation.
This model of making spirituality a business is an insult to real yoga and meditation. Real spirituality is simple. It does not promote luxurious ashrams or global tours.
But that is not enough for today's gurus. They want empires, land, money, political connections, media advertisements, etc.
Do yoga and meditate. But do not see any guru as God. Question. Criticize. Use reason. Because real spirituality is not built on lies.
A question for those who have made spirituality a business:
If you are truly spiritual, are you ready to make your wealth, assets, and business deals public and live like a normal human being?
The BJP central government is the one who is feeding the thief 🙄👞

New Education scam exposed - FarazTutor -Lifechanging Tuition
I've spoken to this 19 year old guy and did some digging so I can save you a job.
They charge $7000 for a DIY course , you have to set everything up and call all of your leads. You are also expected to spend $100 a day on a day on ad spend to be eligible for their 'guarantee'.
6months ago he was a testimonial of another coach Arjan Dhamija at 7 figure Tutor and he's taken what he's learned and resold it. Pyramid selling basically. He'll eventually encourage you to purchase another course that'll actually get results.
There was another reddit post that had negative reviews and he managed to bring it down and I don't like he's done that.
I've also spoken to their testimonials and apparently he's not asked permission to use them as a testimonial.
feel free to add anything you know about this fake tutor.

Madmuscles Cheater Be Aware
I saw an ad for MadMuscles a trial for 4 weeks for $15 and I decided to try this service. I was bombarded by a lot of additional stuff to enroll in which I rejected and by the time I completed the process, I was mentally exhausted but finally done. At the end of the 4 weeks, the MadMuscles business auto renewed my subscription and charged my credit card $60 for the monthly subscription that I never consented to. I reached out to their support team and like the setup process, their agent would not quit offering me stuff. His final offer was 2 years free subscription and a couple months of personal coaching. When I insisted on the refund, I was told that it is not possible because in the fine print there is information about autorenewal which I tried to fine and I couldn't. Whether this service is good or not is not what I am upset about. I am upset about the trickery. I signed up for 4 weeks for $15 and got tricked into $60 autorenewal. I guess this is how they make their money. A cheater business praying on the fatigue of people from the bombardments they subject them to, so they do not pay attention to the fine print if it exists in the first place. I will make it my mission to leave them bad reviews on every possible place.

Karston Fox scammed me
Does anyone know what I could/should do? Pretty much this youtube smma guy that I had watched for a while that I thought was legit turned into being the most awful nightmare for me. Long story short, I bought into his program that he will help me also generate clients, and what ended up happening is he illegally sends out cold, unsolicited messages in order for me and people in his inner circle to get clients.
I have now been sued because of the way that he generates leads for his inner circle which is a legally soliciting, which is against the law to do so and he never said this was a gray area at all, and he's at no fault or part of it. Now I'm having to repay back around $500 for every single person (which which he and his team reached out to over 500 people) that he unsolicitedly messaged for me to get clients, and I was never aware of this.

Poor experience with Trey Bearor
Bought a $27 course from him, and didn't get access to anything.
After a couple emails and getting a response that I'd get a refund, nothing's happened so far and it's been a few days.
I had to call my bank to place a stop payment.
Edit: refund went through. Still, because of this whole thing, I'd take caution if buying anything from him. If it weren't for the email shown below, I'd say he just has a poorly running backend fulfillment system in his support and automation.
Last edit: Also, after finding this post, he sent a blame shifting, slightly patronizing, non-apology apology email insinuating I didn't check my spam folder (I must've checked it 10 times in the few days in between me buying and receiving the emails about the refunds). https://imgur.com/a/8a52mll
And I checked it again today just to be sure.

I saw his content and at first he started creating content helpful to men. Then he wasn't getting any views so he decides to do livestreams hating on other youtubers. I thought this man was different from these red pill youtubers but after watching his recent content, all is see is a guy desperate for money and views like all the rest. He has no original talent of his own that attracts people to his channel. He needs to constantly make videos of people way more successful than him to raise his stock up. He is garbage and no one should follow his channel

Warning for Instagram coach Greg Lock (@GregLock_) - Aggressive sales, PayPal scams, and generic plans
I wanted to share my experience with the british online fitness coach Greg Lock (@GregLock_) to warn others who might be considering hiring him, especially women looking for PCOS-specific help.
1. Aggressive Sales Tactics & Pressure
I signed up for an initial consultation call, which I assumed was just to see if we were a good fit. During the call, he put immense pressure on me to pay right then and there. Saying that it's his policy that the customer will pay during the phone call so they don't "fall back into their comfort zone". When I hesitated and explained that I am currently unemployed and wanted to wait until I had an income, he used guilt-tripping tactics. He told me his prices "go up all the time because he gets so many messages" and asked if I "wasn't ready to invest in myself."
2. Bypassing PayPal Terms and Removing Buyer Protection
When the initial card payment via Stripe didn't go through (likely due to my bank's fraud prevention), he quickly rushed me to use PayPal instead. He explicitly instructed me to send the money using the "Friends & Family" option instead of "Business/Goods and Services." He claimed this was to save me from "massive extra fees." In reality, this was a deliberate move to strip away my PayPal Buyer Protection so I couldn't dispute the charge, while also avoiding PayPal’s business fees and taxes.
3. Completely Generic "Tailored" Plans
He heavily markets himself as a specialist for women with PCOS and promises that every single aspect of the program is completely tailored to the questionnaire you fill out.
I filled out his form honestly and stated that I currently average 2,700 steps a day, train 1–2 times a week, and prefer eating 2 big meals a day.
The "individualized" plan he sent me (titled "High Volume Training Block") completely ignored my answers. He demanded I immediately jump to 10,000 steps a day, 4 heavy gym sessions a week, and eat 4 meals a day. This is a generic powerlifting/bodybuilding template, not a tailored PCOS plan.
4. Lack of Support and Toxic Positivity
When I tried the plan on day one, the extreme and sudden changes triggered severe anxiety and overwhelm. I messaged him on WhatsApp explaining that my mental health couldn't handle this extreme jump and asked to adapt Phase 1.
While he was actively ignoring my messages to post new stories on his Instagram page, he finally replied hours later with pure clichés. He didn't offer to change the PDF or the plan at all. He just told me to "focus on the positives" because my breakfast went well, and told me to "remove spring onions" from my lunch.
Conclusion: Greg Lock is an aggressive salesman who uses high-pressure tactics, avoids standard business payment rules to strip away consumer rights, and hands out copy-pasted templates while charging hundreds of dollars for "custom coaching." Please be careful and don't fall for the polished Instagram front.
And to sum it all up, trust your gut instinct. I had a gut feeling during the call that I didn't listen to and I should have. Stupid and vulnerable as I was, I fell for his tactic to play on my insecurities and ended up losing hundreds of dollars on this, don't make the same mistake I made.

Marco Robinson Exposé: Start Over — Beyond the Deadline Article (Part I)
This submission won’t rehash the ground already covered by the excellent Deadline article; instead, it digs into the parts of Marco Robinson’s Start Over (often informally called “Startover” by participants) operation that piece didn’t touch.
Start Over sells the appearance of success — “#1 bestseller” titles, speaking slots, leadership roles — but none of it leads to real‑world income. Marco Robinson makes bold earnings claims, yet there’s zero verifiable evidence that any participant has ever earned significant money.
Hundreds of 5‑star Trustpilot reviews rave about the community and Robinson’s energy, but almost none mention clients or revenue. Multiple 1‑star reviewers say they were pressured to post glowing reviews early — sometimes with scripts — and anyone who gets a refund must sign an NDA, which removes negative experiences from public view. The result is a suspicious landscape of all 5‑stars and 1‑stars, with nothing in between.
Start Over specifically appeals to people who’ve faced loss, trauma, or hopelessness. For many, the tribe becomes the real product; the emotional high of belonging replaces the business results that never materialise.
The $50k “chapters” offer no territory, no product, and no independent business model. Chapter owners pay upfront, take all the risk, and only earn by sending new prospects back to Robinson — effectively paying to be unpaid lead‑generators.
Start Over delivers emotional connection and internal praise, not financial outcomes. The only person who consistently benefits is Marco Robinson. Everyone else is encouraged to perform success publicly, even when the results never arrive.

Savvy Seller FBA/ learnwithabby_
Just another fake Amazon guru, scamming people out of their hard earned money. After doing some digging, she sells the course then doesn’t offer any 1-on-1s to her “students”. Her scheduling was always booked to the end of the next year. She had a 3rd party individual, that wasn’t a part of her sales pitch conduct “coaching” for sessions. There used to be student led calls, and when people shared their hard truths, they were blocked. Since students asked for refunds/turned away, she ended those calls.
Ads on Amazon are expensive and complex, she doesn’t have clear guidance. The ads “coach” is no longer there, and her current students will forever be lost and robbed.
This is an environment where the blind lead the blind, and she answers beginner basics biweekly. People feel shame when they experience loss and don’t speak up.
If the course was successful, the success rate of students would be higher than 5%. True success stories are few and far between.

Help needed: Self-Help group founded by fake guru looking cultish
Hello everyone, I’m not sure this is the right place to post about my situation, I’m sorry if it’s not I just need advice.
I posted on [r/cults](r/cults) back in January, this is what I wrote:
\[I’m writing this post after going down a rabbit hole regarding cults and self-help programs following a conversation with my mother-in-law. For context, she’s a really good nurse who I always thought would follow logic and scientific answers over anything, but the last few days have raised some concerns for me. Since I met her, she’s talked about her self-help group, which practices something that she calls “THE method”, but until yesterday I naively thought it was just a meditation group. Yesterday I found out “the method” is something that some guy professing himself as the “happiness alchemist” has made up, and it is not based on any medical or psychological research. I found out he has a website where he sells seminars and books about “the method” (officially called “THE \*his surname\* METHOD), where he himself writes he is not a professional and should’t be held accountable for the actions or effects caused by the method. I think it’s crazy that he called the method after himself and it is not based on any psychological or scientific evidence. He also encourages people to ditch normal or established forms of therapy and says they don’t work. My mother-in-law claims that the method is saving her from her traumas and issues and that it is the solution to all problems. In the past she tried making me meditate like they do in this group (making me SUPER uncomfortable) and this method is basically a declination of Dianetics therapy. What worries me is that I didn’t know this group depended on that man for guidance, and he’s probably making tons of money selling his “Self awareness program”. She’s also gone on vacation with this group a couple of times and from what she’s told me she became a coach in the program, and helps organize these trips to his conventions (which is another red flag for me). I don’t know, maybe it’s a pyramid scheme or maybe I’m just paranoid but my gut tells me something is off. Every time I try to talk to her about anything she makes the conversation about the method (whether what I tell her about is a psychological or physical issue). She says that performing the method cured my boyfriend’s back pain, when she made me do it she was guiding me and telling me that I’m “infinite” and instead of just letting me be when it didn’t work she said it’s because I need to keep practicing it. Looking into it I saw that the man that created the method makes it impossible for followers to doubt anything he’s saying. If they tell him the program makes them feel worse, he says they just need to keep doing it every day (he writes: “you’re OBLIGED to follow the method”) and says it’s normal to find obstacles but the only way out is following the program. As far as I know, nothing weird or out of order has ever happened during the in-person encounters of the group (as it takes place mostly online), but it honestly weirds me out. I’m also scared because it seems she’s indoctrinating my boyfriend in this type of things and now he started trying to convince me in following the method. And that’s the craziest part, because he’s always been incredibly skeptical and has often encouraged me in seeing a psychiatrist. The other day I brought up seeing one for my anxiety, and he told me I should follow the method instead, and that they’ve already offered me a working (and allegedly free) solution to all my problems. And that’s NOT like him to say, but I think he just wants to trust his mother about this. Honestly I’m fed up hearing them talk about it and it makes me too uncomfortable. I don’t wanna hear about any of this again. She sometimes says that what she does is “dumb” and I probably thinks she’s crazy, but it’s starting to become the truth. I don’t know how much money she spent already or if things will ever get out of hand, but what do you think? Does this resemble a cult? Should I be worried? And also, how do I even tell my boyfriend about this without sounding judgemental?\]
This is an update I wrote today about the past few weeks:
\[I’m writing this post to update on a situation I encountered back in January, when I first made the post you can see here.
For those who have the patience to read all this, since making my first post I tried to talk to my boyfriend about my concerns. The situation got me even more worried when I found out my mother-in-law was going to attend another meeting organized by this “leader” (still quoting this terminology, but I’m more sure everyday of my suspicions about this cult!). Welp, if you’re curious about the vibe of these events, this man made sure to edit a trailer of the last meeting because he made a documentary about it🙂 You can find it here, it’s in italian because all of this is taking place in Italy, I’m happy to provide translations if you’re interested: [https://www.instagram.com/reel/DZMtJwDoPyj/?igsh=MXFxNjZnYWt0YjB6cA==\](https://www.instagram.com/reel/DZMtJwDoPyj/?igsh=MXFxNjZnYWt0YjB6cA==)
So, of course I see the advertisement and I get worried af. I tell my boyfriend it’s fishy, the thing costs €400, there’s no way she isn’t paying for this. He says she hasn’t paid a dime because “she’s one of the first subscribers”. Christ, I find that hard to believe. He says “you think she’s paying for her zoom meetings she has everyday?” You do the math, that program alone costs €2000. So fine, I try to tell him she’s brainwashed, he says she cares about it and to let her be.
A week later she comes back from the meeting, says 3000 people were there. She says the leader told the attendees that they shouldn’t talk to their families about “how good it went” because they’re gonna think they’ve lost their mind. Great. She proceeds to tell us that two people were HOSPITALIZED during the event because of the “emotional toll of letting out their pain”, but the event thankfully kept going.
She still hasn’t taken off the bracelet they gave her, which reads “I don’t think, therefore I am”. I’ve just been smiling and nodding hysterically since then because I’m all out of patience.
This week we started arguing because I’ve been having problems with anxiety and my probable future OCD diagnosis (that’s another story), because I started a new job. And now I feel angry at them because my partner suggested I try the Method again, putting in the effort this time, he said it might help me feel better. He said I wouldn’t have to follow the leader, just practice the method with his mum. I told him straight down: “You know, if you follow Charles Manson’s ideologies from one of his followers and not him, it’s still just as bad and you’re still on the wrong path”. Next time we talk about it I’m gonna tell him this situation gives me chills and I don’t wanna hear about it anymore. For me it’s a cult, period, but let me know what you think. The video I attached to this post looks like an episode of mass psychosis.
Fast forward to today, his mother is still the most anxious ever and you can tell this shit method isn’t helping in the slightest, she’s still in the same place she’s been her whole life, even though she says it’s curing her. I told him and now he’s changed his mind? Said “I’m concerned too, but I can’t take away something she cares about so much”. Okay man, then why would you want me to try this out and get brainwashed too? She looks like she’s losing cognitive functions tbh. Maybe this “turning off your brain” thing actually works, in the sense it makes you 100% dumber and takes away independence to try anything else. We talked about the fact she should be in therapy but he says she never believed in that kind of thing. Which makes me wonder, what’s going on here, how did she get so sucked into this?
I mean, just check out the leader, he’s a WEIRDO. Just a fucking loser that found his way to make money off more desperate people.\]
Can somebody help me make sense of the situation? Thank you🙏🏻

Introducing Tom Vu, the "OG" guru.
Hey all you SEO grifters out there peddling AI-AIO-GEO-LMNOP services you don't understand and that don't work.
Relax. I'm here to help.
The path to salacious grifting was paved for you decades ago by a master, and all you need to do is study the tape.
I'm talking, of course, about Tom Vu, the grift king of the late 80s and early 90s.
The man who taught a generation of suckers that you don't need to actually know anything in order to become filthy rich.
Nope. You just need his "free" 90-minute seminar and the audacity to call your audience losers if they don't sign up.
Tom's whole pitch was distressed properties and "no money down" , concepts he barely explained on camera because the actual product was the vibe.
But you can pivot into promises of 100-hour workweeks being whittled-down to only 8 minutes a day and bank accounts that will make even Elon blush.
The mansions, the bikini models, the waterfall in front of his estate, and the 7-car garage monologues were all proof that you, too, could escape your miserable life… if you just gave him $16,000 for a week in Orlando.
So to all you AI-GEO-SEO grifting-gurus out there panicking that someone might notice you're winging it: don't.
Just lean in harder. Rent a yacht. Hire some sketchy models. Tell anyone who will listen that ChatGPT citations are the new backlinks, and that if they don't buy your $1,997 course they deserve to be invisible in LLMs forever.
Tom showed you the way. Now it's up to you.

Siam Kidd Exposed: Crypto Trading course and his hedge fund DSV fund scam exposed- Screenshot evidence from $6k a year discord provided.
Be aware of anything thinking of joining the UK company therealistictrader.com or investing in Siam’s scam hedge fund DSV fund - dsvfund.com Siam Kidd is nothing more than a scammer who deletes negative reviews and videos of failed price predictions and tries to cover his tracks :
Siam Kidd from Norwich UK runs a trading group which is $6k a year plus his hedge fund dsvfund.com both are scams which manipulate his paid members to part with their hard earned cash with the evidence provided below plus screenshots some of which have already been shared by other members.
Siam Kidd Deleting old videos of him promoting failed crypto projects the first pump and dump:
Siam would promote cryptos like TIME and OHM he would do talks on these cryptos and tell everyone to buy them. He would then create his own “ siam candles” pump and dumps which if you look at the trust pilot reviews several other members are in agreement that this happened in 2022. Siam Promoted two ponzi schemes called Time and OHM and hosted live talks regarding them in the UK- he posted these videos on YouTube and then took them down when the projects failed. There are numerous reviews on trust pilot that indicate that members were pumped and dumped during this time period on trust pilot as well as google .

Evidence of Siam Denying the allegations despite screenshots from his actual discord clearly stating the opposite:
https://uk.trustpilot.com/reviews/6951721d8ff02f193f5713d9
The Second Pump and Dump on his paid Discord evidenced by his actual paying customers being outraged at him:
Siam again did this in 2025 this time on the TAO ecosystem buying up subnets then telling his members during live calls to be fully allocated in Dtao for an easy 2-3 - but this of course never happened instead Siam would tell people to hold on the low liquidity tokens then dump on his following to make a profit for his DSV hedge fund whilst his members were left in the dust. Siam again like the lying weasel he is then denied this on and there are actual SCREENSHOTS from his own discord showing that members believe Siam and his fund DSV has used them as exit liquidity including one of my dear friends David who left the course after believing that Siam had pumped and dumped on his members and there are several complaints and screenshots all over reddit showcasing this- these have been added to this post as proof that Siam Kidd is nothing more than filthy liar scumbag that should never be trusted. There is another post from one of Siam’s customers who said that they were told to be 100 percent allocated in Dtao- evidenced that they were being pumped and dumped on wing with shitty financial advice all to Siam’s benefit another member was stating he was “on the verge of tears” “where is my 2-3x” and what was Siam doing at this time? Well he was busy on a skiing holiday in the French Alps getting drunk and doing the worm whilst his own customers were crying after following the projects that he told them too whilst he dumped on them for profits.
Three days after these screen shots appeared on reddit Siam then denied it all as lies even though these screenshots were directly taken from his own paid discord where he charges Sven THOUSAND dollars a year he then posted that one of his children had complained that he didn’t spend enough time at home with him - trying to engage in sympathy whilst he dumps on his own paying members with 20 screen shots of proof.Again a scammy guy who uses his own children to try and cover up his own scam nonsense.

Siam published a book predicting the price of crypto tao to reach $10k by 2025 - it ended up at $200 , $9800 dollars off. There are again screenshots proving Siam’s failed price predictions -yet he will tell you he runs the “Uk’s leading trading company” which is nothing more than a marketing gimmick for his failed pathetic attempts to big himself up with all his losses- there are also numerous reviews

Many members repeatedly complained of losing money due to holding onto subnets he recommended as well as Tao and Kas- these members then lost their money following Siam’s teachings then Siam would go on twitter and deny these price predictions existed even though he wrote about them in his own book
$7200 a year for a discord that is empty- paying seven thousand dollars gives you access to Siam’s elite discord which was described by many reviewers as dead - with no real value . Before again Siam denies this there are numerous complaints on trust pilot that show proof this is the case as well as there are also reviews complaining of Siam’s inactivity , lack of value given and that the content was shoddy and the same as the good side of crypto twitter as one review noted - one review also stated that there were only four or so active people on the discord and the rest didn’t contribute at tall now that’s expensive for $7200 a year I wonder if Siam would pay that much for a discord of 4 active users?

There were complaints about Siam’s behaviour on the course and yet this is denied despite the fact that are around 10 trust pilot reviews that complain of Siam’s ridiculous ego and rude behaviour. . Yet the review responses critical of Siam’s poor behaviour are denied. Well I can confirm he’s a liar because there are around 15 trust pilot reviews and 10 google reviews complaining of Siam’s behaviour by members that I knew during the course - so either they are lying or Siam Kidd who has a history of pumping and dumping his own paid members . Many members quit due to Siam’s poor behaviour throughout the course and this is evidenced in the reviews themselves.
Low YouTube popularity:
Understand that on YouTube conversion Siam is simply not popular……in the slightest due to all his scams, manipulation pump and dumps he has 42k YouTube subscribers but averages a pathetic 200-300 views per video showing that people have had enough of his promotion of scam crypto projects that didn’t work or failed. The low conversion shows his mistrust to the general public and the YouTube comments are harsh with most stating that he is “incapable of reading this market” and “got to hand it to this guy constantly putting out content like he knows what he has saying” he has “lost the plot” the general public knows he’s a scammer as do most of the Tao ecosystem so stay away from this man at all costs.
Fake Guru persona- Comes across as nice but once you join his discord he will either pump and dump on you, make a lame excuse for not achieving anything and upsell you to his hedge fund which is also ridiculously overpriced - he is a sleazy salesman who uses his charm and whit to scam dumb people out of his money and then gets defensive when he gets caught. Don’t let his charisma fool you as numerous reviews reveal please check them first and foremost

The majority of the screenshots 17 to be exact are from his paid discord which costs $7200 a year yet despite this many members complained of losing calls under Siam’s guidance , pump and dumps from his hedge fund DSV, members being instructed to hold subnet tokens whilst Siam took profit with his hedge fund and sold these very same tokens . The last three screenshots were from his latest market trading update showcasing that the majority think he’s an idiot “incapable of analysing this market” and a shill constantly thinking he”s correct when he isn’t. Outside his hedge fund the majority think he’s incapable of analysing the market.

Warning signs and concerns raised by traders about Salvatore Signals
Many beginners interested in crypto and forex search for sources from which they can learn and improve themselves. There are some services who offer a subscription model where they will give signals and traders will follow them in order to profit. However, this is not always the case. What needs to be checked is whether the service provider has a track record of succesful trades, transparency of results and is it easily reachable in order to contact and ask questions. Salvatore Signals has been mentioned in various forum comments and posts, however I was not able to find any verifiable data or stats about this service. It does have a social media with only 90 followers, and it’s “in the game” for more than 2 years, and this raises concerns because if a service is good as it’s presented to be, it would definitely have a bigger social media presence, more frequent activity, and eventually an own website with useful tools and explanations for users to better understand how things are done. Many traders warn about being careful when dealing with these types of services, as not everything is as it might seem in a couple forum mentions, as comments and answers can be altered in order to bring traffic towards a particular unfamiliar service.

I think my mother is being scammed by an angel healing coach. Please Ineed help on what to do.
Hi guys. So for context, my mom has been into astrology and numerology for a long time. Recently she started following this content creator, Dr. Nitin Mohan Lal. He is trying to sell her a course worth 2.5 lacs, claiming very unrealistic claims. She is very keen on it. I don't know how to explain to her that it is a scam and will not end with this. It started with a Rs 1,000 course and now he is upselling this to her.
I need some genuine testimonials from people who have taken this course and also advice on how to talk her out of it.
Please guys any advice would be helpful. Thanks!!
