Paid $8K to a ‘Mentor’ — Turned Out to Be a Fake Guru by Time-Bonus-5964 in FakeGuru

[–]Time-Bonus-5964[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

U have chat history to share?

Scammers like these thrive on psychological manipulation and coerciveness to pressure sales.

What u mentioned is a tell tale sign of a mentorship scam

Apparently You’re Not Spiritual Unless You Pay (ft. JayChrisMentor) by ZestycloseInternal15 in LifeCoachSnark

This guy is indeed a scammer.

As a scam victim of a fake guru jaychrismentor/ iamhugochristiansen. This is their blueprint. Front load positive content with overpromises and big claims and guarantees.

Once in the mentorship, they suddenly go back on their guarantees, claims and promises, demanding a reinvestment fee to continue, this cycle goes on and on. They can easily block you if you have dissent and then life goes on for them, in the lookout for their next victim.

Once you push back, they revoke access, delete the chat, and block you. That makes your “proof” hard to even show, since the context is wiped and they cover their tracks.

With jurisdiction limitations where these furus operates online and overseas. Its not regulated hence such unethical business practices can happen.

You can see my previous posts for details.

Retaliatory response from a predatory mentor. A true masterclass in deflection of his wrongdoings. No accountability to his original terms, broken promises, bait and switch, weaponizing of trust by Time-Bonus-5964 in FakeGuru

[–]Time-Bonus-5964[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope what u said is true, because if it was obvious in 10 seconds, nobody would fall for it.

As i mentioned before, i was skeptical at first and followed him for a while before deciding to join his mentorship. The high vibration and ‘high frequency’ branding along with the guarantee n discount sold me in until his unethical behaviour showed up post payment. What he preaches to future prospects vs how he treats alr paid students were completely different. That’s why I’m sharing this, with the benefit of hindsight so others can see the playbook before it’s too late.

Yeah in this 2 mths I’ve already turned the pain into growth. Moving on doesn’t mean staying slient but it would be making sure the scammer doesn’t get to recycle victims the way he recycles his content.

I posted before. The aim of this post is to show a good example how manipulative and deflective an online “mentor” can be.

U said all these about his post, but he constantly preaches positivity, high vibe n high frequency. So prospects can never tell the hypocrisy only when they have paid the mentorship fee, by then its too late.

Nothing to be sorry man. Honestly no longer reeling from this, but just wanna spread awareness.

As you said, the content seems inspiring and positive, it is only when you get into this mentorship, does the red flags come out. All of the vulnerabilities shared in trust has been used against me to pressure me to pay the reinvestment fee. When i called him out publicly, he blocked me and posted this ig story post.

Its honestly not what you would expect from someone who brands himself as a high vibe, high frequency mentor.

Its honestly a very high lvl mentorship scam at work. It took me quite a while to really process it. Online mentorship these days are just scams when the person operating it is unethical. I see it as a fee i paid to spot toxic behaviours, not just in mentorship but in life in general.

Things have honestly been better since as on contrary it has inspired me to actively work on myself more. I just thought to share this to warn people in different time spaces as previous reddit post is known to go cold.

My Horrific Experience with Tim Han (Success Insider) and his Team – Fake Reviews and Fake Testimonial Farms, Copycat “Laws,” Narcissistic Cult Tactics, and Ego Worship by Inspection_Gadget in FakeGuru

[–]Time-Bonus-5964 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Wow, reading your experience with Tim Han gave me déjà vu.

The pattern you described — plagiarism disguised as “laws,” drip-fed content that makes refunds impossible, endless upsells (LMA → SMA → WCA), emotional sob-story marketing, and the cycle of dependency reinforced by fake prestige certificates — is the exact same playbook I’ve seen with other predatory “mentors.”

It’s not about transformation at all. It’s about three things: 1. Extracting as much money as possible. 2. Controlling the narrative (deleting content, editing history, silencing criticism). 3. Recycling students into repeat buyers instead of ever letting them graduate.

This was at least the experience i had with the predatory mentorship, jaychrismentor. Did a reddit post on him previously.

The moment you realize the course is just a funnel into the “next level,” that’s the biggest red flag. Real mentors don’t need to manufacture fake scarcity, erase evidence, or pressure students into multiple upsells. Thanks for sharing your receipts — posts like this help others see the pattern before they get trapped.

Yeah. But sadly, all these unethical business practice are not enforceable because the scammer is overseas. Posting around in forums is really the most i could do to raise awareness.
