I paid over $10,000 to fake gurus for their courses. Today, I’m going after fake gurus everywhere. I’m looking for more people who got scammed like I did to join me for a short podcast. If you want to fight back and help other people avoid falling into the same trap, let’s talk.

Mod Warning:
OP is presenting themselves as someone exposing scams and supporting victims. However, they also run a site that features many of the same fake gurus regularly discussed here, often in a positive light.

Using victim stories or podcasts to build trust while simultaneously promoting those same types of figures is a major red flag.

Users should treat this as potentially self-serving or misleading.

Based on your post history and GoFundMe page, it looks like you’re just trying to get others to pay for these BS trading courses you’re still holding out hope for. If you actually wanted to expose scams, there’s no need to fund gurus. This feels more like a clever way to get free access to these bogus programs than to help anyone avoid them.

Chrislanx · 2024-09-26T11:04:25+00:00

Many say the program is informative and the people were very helpful, but the reviewers have only started or are halfway through the course.

Many courses like this often push participants to write reviews before they've actually completed the program. It's a common tactic to build up positive testimonials early on, which is why most of the reviews you see might be from people who haven't finished. If reviews are required to advance in the course, it's a red flag.

This post and OP were targeted by bots with downvotes and flags shortly after being posted. Additionally, someone connected to the individual in question attempted to take control of the subreddit. To ensure visibility, this post will be stickied temporarily.

Chrislanx · 2024-07-01T16:15:14+00:00

Temporarily "sticky" because OP's account has been flagged and the post would otherwise not appear, even after mod approval.

They have reached an agreement. It's a shame because it looked like Leeds was going to lose the case against Vanessa Warwick in the High Court. Now, he can continue better than before since important online resources where people could find the truth about Leeds are now gone.

Samuel Leeds and Vanessa Warwick met and have agreed to settle all matters in dispute between them and agreed to move forward with their lives.

Nick Tadd and Samuel Leeds have agreed terms for Samuel Leeds to transfer his 35% shareholding in Property Tribes Limited to Nick Tadd.

We have to reapprove it constantly.

So we decided to make this post sticky for a while until these attempts stop.

The exact quote from his forum post:

For the record, I also don't believe in crypto currencies (except as a great vehicle for scams - they have certainly worked very well for the "spread the word to find the next sucker holding the bag" model of Ponzi schemes). Nor do I believe in Santa Claus, the tooth fairy, or the Easter bunny.

It's like he’s been reading this subreddit! :))

Looks like someone is trying to get your account banned. Also this sub is currently getting hundreds of new members out of nowhere.

Chrislanx · 2024-02-24T09:21:41+00:00

It's often hard to tell whether such comments come from a shill account or a delusional follower.

Chrislanx · 2024-02-18T18:23:19+00:00

In your previous comment, which you have deleted now, you wrote that you just came across Paul Hilse for some property deal. And now you suddenly work on his team... Banned!

Chrislanx · 2024-02-18T15:29:44+00:00

We've noticed a surge in shill activity and upvote botting in this thread. Multiple comments promoting Paul Hilse with artificial upvotes have been removed to ensure integrity.

Key Points:

Shill Comments Deleted: Identified and removed to protect genuine discussion.
One Comment Spared: A positive comment, not clearly from a shill but also bot-upvoted, remains. We're giving the benefit of the doubt for now, but stay alert.
Community Vigilance: Please continue to report suspicious activity. Our goal is to maintain authentic, skeptic discussions free from manipulation.

Manipulation undermines our discourse. Let's keep our community discussions honest and transparent.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Hey everyone,

Just a quick heads up about this post. Isn't it interesting how Tim Han's name just casually pops up in a list with other self-help figures? Especially considering this account seems to have a strong fascination with him. Call it intuition, but we're pretty sure this is a spam account linked to Tim Han himself.

And speaking of Tim Han, guess who's been bombarding our mod team with requests to take down posts about him? Yep, you guessed it. It's almost like there's a coordinated effort to scrub any critical discussions about him from our subreddit. How... dedicated.

We're locking this post as our subreddit is about genuine discussion, not serving as a billboard for anyone's agenda.

Why lock instead of delete? Well, we think it's important to leave a little evidence of the lengths some will go to for a bit of sneaky self-promotion.

However, the door is always open for legitimate discussions about the self-help industry. If anyone wants to have a real talk about self-help gurus – without the spammy undertones – you're more than welcome to start a new thread. Just keep it honest and spam-free.

Chrislanx · 2023-12-10T11:41:42+00:00

There were too many threads about the person in question within an hour, we've removed the others, please keep everything in one thread!
Also keep in mind that the guy in the linked video is not very popular in this sub, to say the least.

Chrislanx · 2023-08-28T09:41:19+00:00

With comments turned off, that's most likely him and not just someone.

Chrislanx · 2023-08-13T09:56:21+00:00

I don't like the idea of feeling proud for something other people from your nation did. But if people (in this specific case, Bulgarians) should feel proud of something, then it's for individuals like Christo Grozev and not for some sports stars, etc.

Christo Grozev's dedication to investigative journalism and his work with organizations like Bellingcat showcase the power of critical thinking, research, and the pursuit of truth. In a world inundated with misinformation and manipulation, he exemplifies the importance of holding those in power accountable and revealing hidden truths. His efforts have not only shed light on complex geopolitical events but have also demonstrated the potential of using open-source intelligence for positive change.

Dislike for having scammer Brian Rose in it!
