      I have found decent success in a few fields and when asked how I did it, I always say that if I knew how I got through everything I'd make my money telling people how to do it, not doing it. If I could teach people how to do better instead of having to go out and do better myself I would happily do that.

      It’s so true all these influencers that say link in my bio or Dm me they are selling u a dream and most of the things they sell are things you can find for free on your own on the internet. Also I got blocked by some credit repair ppl that promote themselves because I tell ppl it’s illegal to pay for credit repair before your credit has been repaired. 😂 ppl don’t even know I’ve had friends that got scammed by credit repair ppl lol and I’m like I told you to be careful! Get a lawyer they can submit letters to credit company for you and you only pay them after it’s been fixed.

    The worst part about these scams is that they're using their race and/or ethnicity to gain the mark's trust and make them believe that the scammer has actual good intentions. It's one thing when a faceless person over the phone scams you, but when it's someone that's from your own community it's a much worse experience.

      Same thing people do with religion. I was raised in a fundamentalist Christian denomination, and there were always some church member who was a contractor or tradesman or the like, and people would just trust them by default and assume they were good people because they were a Christian. And then people would get ripped off and the scammer would move on to a new church a few months later. Same with dating. All someone has to do is represent themselves as a Christian and they can con so many people because other Christians will just default to assuming they're a good person who is on the level.
      I remember watching a Forensic Files about this Mormon guy who was a rare documents dealer. He kept finding these super rare documents that might make the church look bad, and so they would buy them from him for ridiculous amounts of money. Turns out every single document he "found" was a forgery. One wonders if he even really believed in the religion at all, or if he only pretended because he knew they would be easy marks.
      It really do be your own people, man. It's made me extra cynical and distrusting of other Latinos, or anyone who really plays up cultural or religious connections and that makes me so sad. It shouldn't have to be like that.

    When I enterer community college I was lured into an MLM by one of my classmates. I was so hyped, the entire recruitment process felt official, and mysterious, gave me brochures, a copy of “Rich Dad Poor Dad”etc.
    I remember being so excited to go to this “Conference “ where I could meet his “mentors” in the Intercontinental conference room in Midtown Manhattan. I went to buy a suit and even had just come off having a tooth removed. When I got there it was just a massive MLM scam where they had a bunch of “Diamond, Platinum & Emerald” members trying to convince a room full of young, broke impressionable adults to buy into the pyramid scheme. The “Founder” of the MLM was a CPA.
    I graduated with my BSc in Accounting, taking my first CPA exam this week.

      Unfortunately, MLMs get their grimy hands on middle-aged adults, too. Especially if the middle-aged prospects are very desperate for making extra income instead of just upgrading their skill sets and looking for tangible job opportunities that will make them more money. And better planning for their retirement.

      A lot of us fall for something like that around that time. We are young, naive, and that's exactly who they're hunting. I lost a little time and money on an MLM, and considered it a valuable lesson after the anger and disappointment wore off. That helped me avoid scams like it in the future. Some people don't have those experiences and I think that's why they fall for the much bigger versions later in life.

    Oh no!!! I just took Teri's Trade and Travel course last week because she was featured on Anthony Oneal's channel.
    Thankfully, it cost $97 which still is no small amount of money for me. The 5 day course was more like an introductory kinda thing; felt like they were giving you an appetizer to the real full length thing. I can attest though, that the course really emphasized emotional decision making and after looking at a few minutes of the second day (they had "technical issues" sending the link on the first day) I felt like I had been scammed. It was a hard lesson on how effective parasocial relationships are and how many celebrities/influencers use them to their advantage. Thank you for the content though! This vid hit home for me.

      I've been studying and trying to master day trading for a few years now. There are plenty of free channels on You Tube to learn from. My favorite is The Inner Circle Trader, though he has a lot of videos and is very long winded (he's not for everybody). I also like Stacey Burke Trading. Just mentioning those 2 should open up a world of others til you find someone with a strategy that works. And as far as the psychology of trading goes, check out Pat Bailouni and Rande Howell. I do think success in day trading is possible, but not as quickly as some (or a lot) people claim. It's more mental than anything.

I already have good credit and pay my bills on time. I was amazed at how this person charged $50 for basic info. I signed up for the course because she made it seem it would be in more detail. I would like to know the steps to get preapproved, the best places to buy, etc. I might have taken the course because I felt fomo. I also heard about people who pay for digital downloads or material and never receive them.

    Aye. Skinfolk ain't always kinfolk and lot of morons who find your FUBU vids are gonna say and will keep saying that you're turning on your own people for using your Platform to speak up but you're not! The Scammers and Shady Influencers are the ones backstabbing and kneecapping! Also, my boy Coffeezilla quickly taught me that anyone affiliated with Shark Tank were shady after he made videos on Kevin O'Leary and Mark Cuban. I figured that birds of a feather were flocking together (or rather fucking shit up together) so I put my guard up. It didn't take long for my own research on Daymond for me to find the dry rot underneath the coat of paint. AntiScam/AntiMLM Content saves lives every day. I'm glad the Almighty Algorithm helped me find you. I've already shared you with my younger siblings in our Discord to keep them safe from BS.

      I've dealt with a lot of accusations of being anti-Black and "turning on my own", but these people are not my own. what they're doing is pure evil as far as I'm concerned, and I'm sick of us trying to be like every other rich person when we get a little clout.

      It baffles me when you get accusations for turning on your own when those folk are turning their own people into commodities without considering they're using the 'hey you can trust us, we kin' to manipulate their own community. The scammers are the ones turning on their own. It's always bothered me with mlms aimed at women. I regularily have been told I don't support women and I'm a bad feminist because i won't support mlms.

I used to dream that would be me. Luckily I was always too broke/didn't have enough access to actually take the plunge and try it. I still dream of traveling, but I'm a lot more grounded now thanks to content like this. You, Munecat, Jawn Louis, etc., have helped me tune my spidy senses to BS.

      I agree but at the same time “day trader selling course” is all the vetting you need… to know it’s a complete scam. 99% of day traders can’t beat the indexes and 99% of people selling courses are scammers just trying to make money off people’s desperation. This should be just as obvious as the “pay in apple gift cards to remove pc virus” scams.

    Thank you for posting this. A few years ago, I signed my child up for a Daymond John summer camp at one of the local colleges. The course was advertised as if the children would have some type of interaction with him. It was costly. Unfortunately, this was not the case. When we arrived, there was no Daymond and no interaction with him at all. Not even a video conference. The course was just named after him. We felt duped. I quickly asked for a refund and told them that it was false advertisement. On UA-cam, there is a video that says he surprise some of the students that took his course. Again, just another selling tactic that maybe one day your child too will have an opportunity to speak to him. Save your money. Teach your own children entrepreneurial skills. People like him make money off exploiting others.

    The predation of marginalized communities by the very marginalized people is a hard hit to take, and a reminder that privilege and power is intoxicating, and everyone is vulnerable to it. I remember when i got kicked out at 17 and became homeless, having come from a troubled home (putting it lightly) i idealistically assumed that nobody was gonna be assholes anymore. We're all poor, we all have a common enemy, why would we steal and fight from each other? The realization that capitalism infects everyone, even those at the bottom was a hard pill to swallow.
