Scammer: Get rich in 90 days
Also Scammer: They don't understand. It's not a quick thing...😅
💯
You’re right, but the problem is greed to begin with. 20% return in 90 days is red flaggish
LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
EXACTLY! 😂😂😂
Stop giving fast talking people your hard earned money. Period.
At this point, anyone looking for my money is a scammer.
Damn right!
💯
I know thats right
$5000 for coaching is what would have stopped me. Folks, just take a real estate course for $400 and learn the business for yourself
5k is basic for investor training, but a real estate course doesn't teach you investing, only the law.
@jakecopeland7845 however taking that class and spending a free 6months in the field will teach you a lot especially with UA-cam university and actually learning your market and not trying to become a slumlord or take advantage of other people.
Real Estate courses don’t teach you the business, it teaches you the legalities….but I get your point
How true
Nah they wanna help black business and build generational wealth 😂😅
First off you trusted someone in Atlanta 😂😂😂
First thing I said when I read the headline lmfao
I was just about to say that!😂
😂😂😂😂 facts!!! 🚩 central
For real the place full of scammers.
A M E N to that.
No authentic real estate investor uses Venmo, Cash App or Zelle.
Not true.
I still use Cash App to pay my lawn guy for my investment property because he prefers it that way. I’m a Real Estate Investor and you can clearly see it on my UA-cam channel.
Black ones do.
@@misunderstoodkj paying for lawn care is not the same as paying for a real estate transactions thru cashapp or Venmo
@@FaithandNova No one should do that. Lol That would be illegal. You're supposed to pay that through a real estate attorney (if it is an attorney state) or a title company.
5k for coaching 😂😂😂 that's your first 🚩🚩🚩
That’s too much. Limit for me is 50 cents. Loool.
Why are people still falling for this. We have to start researching before investing.
Because when you're money hungry you don't think properly
Who has time to research???? We gotta get this money!!! Lmfao
Greed.
That quick money and lifestyles portrayed on social media feeds it for sure
You are so right. One of the oldest cons in the game.
People need to watch American Greed 🤦🏻♂️
My favorite show.
Describes Americans aptly. Scammers.
What’s that shown on I wanna watch it. Cant lie I ALMOST got scammed myself
@Kingfacts44321 some do and will still fall for things like this. People will use everything in the book to get to what many desire, and it happens. Nobody thinks that could happen to them.
I can hear the theme song playing right now😃
People will constantly get scammed because they always seek shortcuts to wealth.
They go after the quick buck.
20% in 90 days is crazy….yall really fell for an unrealistic pitch. None of yall did your homework?
Exactly
Common sense ain't Common lol
It's possible with a trustworthy flipper
@@757millionaire not on such a big scale bro…that’s hard in real estate
They're not smart enough.
People have to STOP believing what they see on the Internet!!!!
And its crazy that its people my age 35+ that stay falling for this bs
The problem is not the fact that this man scammed them. The problem is that these people did not learn the industry and the field for themselves to be able to determine if he was talking real sense from an expert viewpoint. Saying, "Y'all not believing in yourself" and "You can make $100,000 in 90 days" is not specific, tangible information that a potential investor can use to check it against the current market's activities. You need to become a student of what you want to master later. That's the true issue with these types of scams.
These people must not have been paying attention to the state of the economy post Covid. With rising interest rates and high inflation I wouldn’t be making any big money moves unless it was absolutely necessary and thoroughly researched and planned out. Even buying a car used or new shouldn’t be taken lightly.
But the Fargalos knew him. They took a chance with a friend. What happened to trust and accountability?
Social media has ppl believing and falling for anything for a quick buck
@@Tatee101 Exactly. Some loud fool says you need to get your life together, and folks believe him like they don't understand the impact of Ponzi schemes.
@@TheJoaniejoancansew Yeah, I remember hearing them. It blew over my head, but then I remembered.
"A fool and his money will soon part ways" -Every Real Estate Bubble
5k coahing fee
Insane
Ridiculous
Sick of all these coaches with one flip
A person and their money are soon parted.
These folks got hustled by a smooth talking snake wearing a suite. Education is expensive. Do your homework before you invest.
He's not wearing a suite
He’s wearing a Nike T-shirt.😂
They sent $10,000 as a wire transfer, then sent another $10,000 via Venmo and the scammer kept both payments. 😂😂
You don’t need anyone else to invest in real estate. Do your research and be involved in the entire process.
You can't scam an honest person. Only someone who is looking for something for nothing.
Facts
Exactly!
No true
The couple from NY who lost 30k... the look she gave her husband when the reporter asked, " What do you have to show for it ? " ....😂😅
@@7sonero7 It probably was her money and her husband convinced her to invest
I thought the same thing. Sadly it's things like that in marriages which are leading cause of divorce. Hopefully he is forced to come out of pocket to pay them and can't hide behind the company.
@audrinajay it definitely looked that way from their body language... but that evil eye stare said it all .
Realistically real estate isn't something I would invest in now . 2 or 3 years ago, yes. They could have easily doubled their 30k w bitcoin .
I knew after listening to him for 10 seconds that he was a scam.
RE is a long term investment. How are you supposed to earn 20% in 90 days? SMH!
I just made your point. Learn about the industry before you put money down.
Flipping properties
No “investor” expects 20% return in 90 days. That’s a “speculator.”
Shout out to all the Black and Brown people who invest with people who talk fast and promise quick returns. You should know the only way you get quick returns is when either someone is being taken advantage or youre the one being taken advantage of.
O Georgia I don’t trust absolutely NOTHING about that state
Your right not to because all they do is scam
For me, including the politics😒
Where are you from? I'm pretty sure there are scammers there too. Your thinking is ignorant
@@Pveal79 yes scammers are everywhere. U must be from Georgia, because y’all get on the defensive side when someone calls your raggedy, racist ignorant state out. The whole state is garbage, what’s sad is y’all see the b.s going in that state and choose to ignore it. Just PATHETIC AND SAD 😢
@@FullofSouthernCharm EXACTLY 💯💯
When he said I dont owe them $ the LLC owes them $. I knew he never plans to pay them back
Fred Sanford would call all of them two words. "Big Dummies"
😂😂😂
"You big dummy "
D-Generation X also has two words for these "investors"...
If it sounds too good to be true….. it’s easier to fool people than to convince them they’ve been…. Also if this was such a great money making plan why would be be so glad to share it with other people? Let that sink in.
Greed is the problem on both sides. 20% returns in 90 days is red flaggish. Sounded to good
If you gave any real estate investor money in Atlanta then it's your fault. You scammed yourself.
You win some and you lose some but you live to fight another day
😂
Rule of Thumb for everyone and to those who care to listen, "If it's that QUICK and EASY, you wouldn't know about it and he would have just done it all by himself and not tell anyone else."
Pointless to sue. Money is long gone.
I wouldn’t trust nobody in Atlanta with .25 cents
There is no such thing as get rich quick
This dude knew what he was doing to these people. He is a thief, he needs to go to jail!!!
😂 “Client Understands that the Real Estate Market may change unexpectedly, rendering some or all information provided by consultant null and void.” Y’all just lazy giving someone all that money that wasn’t insured
Anyone who says they are a coach should not be trusted..do research and manage your own money instead of giving people ur money to do the work
How many recent instances of real estate fraud people have been exposed, and numerous tips on what people should and should not do? People are still handing over money to these same scams over and over in spite of warnings from every which way. I’m sorry but…I don’t feel sorry for these people who lost money, it’s their fault for not doing research and INQUIRY!
Coaching Fee??? Google is free and getting your real estate license is far cheaper. Community college is cheaper than that. People need to know what resources they have available to them. Dude clearly is scamming.
That way doesn’t teach you how to make money therefore Free is expensive! I invested $300 in my education however and turned around and flipped my first property and made $10k. College will only teach you how to get a job.
Wait. Line 3. or what not in the contract. He warned them the information given might be useless? And they still signed. Sad to hear.
“Unexpectantly” in the contract. That should have been a red flag - it’s not even a word. “Unexpectedly” is what he meant.
I hate stories of our own people getting scammed by our own people.smh.
LOL, true example of don't give ANYONE your money! Invest yourself and do your own due diligence!
Fraudsters
Never trust these scammers on social media
When giving someone that kind of money don’t expect to get it back without a lawyer and prof . For feature. Reference. Don’t trust no one with that kind of money not even family from my experience
See the thing with an investment, nothing is guaranteed.
💯
You shouldn't "expect" 15-20 percent gain as an investor. It sounds like the investors came away with "the gain was a promise". If that can be found in writing, they may be able to sue
I never trust people that talk too much or are good talkers… Action speak louder than words.
There is no quick money 💰
Yes their is😂
Yes their is 😂
Maybe $100,$150, $200 thousand is not a business plan…hope you’re not GWP LLC.
Actually there is. The scammer made quick money.
@@HumptyMcFly Oh…I guess the Feds will decide whether it was quick or it was money 😂😂😂
Quick returns are always a scam. Real estate is a very long term investment.
He is not a honest man hiding behind his LLC. Be careful who you give money to. Real estate education industry is loaded with gurus
You can listen to him talk and tell he is not a real estate professional. You gave him thousands of dollars when you could have used that to invest in real estate ON YOUR OWN. This is a learning lesson for all who lost money.
Fast money is not always good money
He should be taken to court and allowed to show how drastic the Market changed.
Jay Morrison, Ceasar and DJ Envy, now this guy and many others. Come on yall be smarter. Don't fall for the "generational wealth" scam.
🎯💯💯💯
Sad part. It's your own black people screwing us over. They use race as a reason for people to trust them more..No you don't trust someone with your money just because you and them both happen to be black. Research and do what makes sense.
Wow.. do real estate your self.. dont invest with these ppl.. good talk things went up since 2021 smh
Any guaranteed return over 10% is a red flag.
Jay Morrison?
Lol the comment I was looking for 😆
These people are not victims. She thought she could invest $20k and gets 20% return in 90 days?? Get real!
How can people be so stupid. They heard 20 % return in 90 days and fell for it. Common sense should have told you that’s impossible. But you have people that just want profits on their money without putting in the work themselves.
As soon as he opened his mouth I knew he was a scammer. He promised they would see big returns quickly. Now he’s saying they need to be patient and not expect quick returns. People have to stop being so gullible and throwing their money away.
On a military bases? Nah. This is crazy.
It’s so sad the people who we know and trust are stealing from our people. Shame on us and we continue to support our communities to build our future.🗣️🙏🏽
This is exactly why I click off all those get rich quick bs informercial ads in between watching on YTube too many fakes.
20% return in 90 days, you should be the one selling it not the other way 😂
I find it very hard to pity someone who believes in the concept of free money. People who work to earn their money never have this issue.
Low-cost index funds😊
😂😂😂
That is why it is good to learn how to read and learn things for free on your own. It is very difficult not to find information you need these days.
You MUST perform your DUE DILIGENCE regardless of who you know. You can't TRUST NO(BODY).
DON'T BE THIRSTY FOR MONEY or the so-called Generational Wealth.
These con artists and scammers are in a club within each state. Know their allies and alliances.
Your health is your wealth. 🙏🏾❤️
Just because he/she is from Your community Does Not mean he will be more trustable than someone else. For any kind of investment, Research, Research Research. Do Not Fall for get rich quick in 30/60/90 days. Even the stock market has a very high fail rate, unless you are able to invest millions and go long term. Read the fine print of all contracts and NEVER EVER sign on the spot, no matter if they tell you "you need to get this deal before it's gone". Pay your own lawyer to review the contract beforehand. Hope these people get their hard earned money back from this shyster.
One word sums up the reason ALL folks lost their money. GREED!!😂😂 Don't feel bad for greedy folks. They weren't happy with what they HAVE (had). They wanted MORE.....😂
Hello it’s “Deeeee J Envy and another flipping MJ”
SMH....Our people need to start reading and researching....
This guy is bold…most of these IG scammers have the decency to ask for lesser amounts
Chasing money instead of taking time to actually learn the nuts and bolts components of a business. Not wise.
Anyone who uses cash app or Zelle for a “business” transaction it’s a red flag 🚩
I don’t feel bad for these people, it’s sooo many people who offer courses when you can get that same information online for free literally free. These people heard the amount of money he was talking and everything else went out the window. Everybody wants to “invest” and not even know who they’re investing with.
I'm sure they are not asking for anyone to feel bad or any personal way about their situation because they already feel bad. I'm one of their reasons is make everyone else aware of this man, his company & to stay away. It's sad that they lost thousands. Some ppl are making comments & don't have anything to invest to try & better themselves. God will provide for them or any1 else that has suffered a loss. We should be mindful we all have feelings.
Those guys would have done better investing in property themselves, like I did. I failed in the beginning(the market crashed after buying my first property) but learned from my mistakes. I am now financially independent.😊😊😊
It's 2024 how are we still falling for this?
Why do people do this? Invest in things like real estate site unseen. Also don't invest in anything you if you can't afford to lose it.
RED FLAG. 5000 coaching fee.
How many more times will we see this SCAM? Even the stock market cannot Garentee 9, 10%. Take off the blinders. Get yourself educated!
Unexpectantly is definitely not a word. Bro I wouldn’t trust that guy with change for the meter.
Everyone wants a get rich Quick scheme which is why these things always happen. Wake up people!!!!
Why would anyone give money to someone they don’t fully know? Sending money for financial transactions via PayPal and Venmo are red flags.
This crap is funny, people do your research and avoid these schemes that promise lofty returns with minimum effort.
If the investor could produce the type of returns he promised then why would he need your money, he could just borrow what is needed and make all of the money for himself.
lol incompetence sort of feels like negligence
He knows how to talk? No, you don't know how to think logically.
If it sounds too good to be true it probably is.
There's no way LEGALLY to flip that kind of a return on an investment.
Classic Ponzi Scheme:
He used their own greed against them.
You can't blame them it's people's GREED. Get rich quick schemes are always BADDD
People People People, if someone promises large returns more than likely it’s BS.
There are always gullible people who fall for get rich quick schemes. That type of return in 90days is pure fantasy. Don’t invest in something you know nothing about and have zero control over. They were too trusting and got taken.
These people are not very bright.
Scammed themself by believing all things get rich Quick smh
Next time don't get involved with Get Rich scams buy it yourself
Do your research people
Oh well…these investors were greedy… so they believed what dude said
A fool and their money will part. These real estate scams are not new. If anyone tells you you can get rich quick run. Scammers use people's greed to con them.
I wouldn’t trust nobody in Atlanta with $.25 cent
I could tell that was a scammer. They should’ve invested with a legit stockbroker.
20% return in 90 days is silly to even believe. They were going to lose that money somehow.
Throw it in a CD or high yield MM instead of trying to be savvy.
Not really. I’ve done them that way before. It really just depends on the deal
Please do your research 🙏, there's no such thing as get rich quick.
This could have easily been prevented
They must not watch American Greed…
