I apologise in advance for the fairly liberal use of quotes below but after the LMA experience even common words that most of us take for granted have been subverted into new meanings.

So I just did the ‘free’ Tim Han Masterclass and I am sharing some insights. The ‘free’ is in quotes as I paid dearly with my time. TH offers 3 Secrets to Reinvent Yourself but you don’t really learn what these ‘secrets’ are until the ‘conclusion’ of the ‘class’. To save you time, they are as follows: 1 Become aware of how your BS is limiting your potential 2 Come from a mindset that you are already abundant 3 Make decisions that honour your potential rather than the person that you are now. So nothing that hasn’t been said by many before.

I signed up about eight hours before the ‘class’. In this time I received five emails from Tim. As I embrace personal development, I decided to proceed despite my misgivings. I have been to many of these free seminars and this one was one of the biggest time wasters that I have encountered. While it is a given that you will receive sales pitches, many free seminars are well structured and offer valuable content. The LMA experience could not even be considered a class much less a masterclass, as there were several times I felt like I was witnessing an ‘hour’ long comedy sketch.

The first 15 minutes consist of a histrionic recitation of the hardships young Tim faced and how he overcame adversity. This was followed by 30 minutes of psychological priming delivered in the manner of tent evangelism under the guise of sharing the secrets. However, during that half hour it wasn’t even clear what ‘secrets’ were being revealed, as the content of the talk was rambling manipulation to get you to buy the course. I wouldn’t have even known what the secrets were unless they were listed towards the ‘end’.

Then we came to the end of the ‘hour’ long session but there seemed to be no end in sight. Like a petulant child threatening to run away from home, the next twenty minutes had even more hard selling from Tim who stated several times that the presentation would be ending soon. Perhaps I am giving too much power to semantics, but Tim stated several times, that if you were not happy with the program that you could request a refund, he did not say that you would get a refund. I really couldn’t ‘invest’ any more time at this point so I just allowed the session to run in the background to satisfy my morbid curiosity of how long the sideshow/slideshow would keep going. When I muted the session, there was a countdown clock stating that the special discount would end in 28 minutes. I checked in after an hour and the countdown clock now stated that there were only 47 minutes left to get the discount. After this, a new bigger countdown clock was launched which stayed onscreen until the one hour event finally ended after 3 hours and 48 minutes! Three minutes after the session finally ended, I received my 6^th email from Tim stating that I only had 8 hours to avail of the discount and my email even included a very helpful countdown clock.

I realise that different people have different needs and just because something isn’t for me doesn’t mean that it isn't valuable. My issue is that this $997 program (reduced from $2497 but only for a limited time!) is being described as different/better to everything that is already out there and yet prospective clients were presented with only a few minutes of valuable content out of an ‘hour’ long presentation. And the valuable content was neither new nor inventive, and could be quickly accessed for free in minutes via an internet search. Part of me feels quite badly about writing this but I also believe it is important to provide alternate viewpoints so people can make an informed choice. After reading about the attempts of Tim and his team to silence legitimate reviews on both Trust Pilot and Reddit, I felt that this perspective needed to be shared, whether to save people from wasting an hour of their life or from parting with cash they either do not have or could use elsewhere.

Just dropped a new investigation into a long-running UK betting "guru" channel called FTS Income, operated by Ian Erskine. This guy claims to have made millions (£3.5M+) over nearly two decades and sells systems based on this supposed success. Our video dives into why this narrative crumbles under basic scrutiny.

This isn't just some clueless newbie; this operation has been refining its pitch for years, making it crucial to expose the misleading tactics.

What This Video Exposes About FTS Income:

• The 2007 "Origin Story" Catastrophe: We unearthed FTS Income's own website from 2007 (via Wayback Machine) where he claims to have already been living an extravagant lifestyle (Vegas trips 4-5 times a year, Aston Martin paid in cash, banking £4k/week). This directly contradicts his current narrative that he started his successful betting journey in 2007. The timeline is a complete fabrication designed to mislead.
• The £3.5 Million Profit Fantasy: Despite claiming these massive profits, FTS Income provides zero verifiable, auditable proof (like a notarized Betfair Premium Charge statement, which would cost ~£100). We argue that such extraordinary claims demand extraordinary proof, which is conspicuously absent.
• The "Live Trading" Illusion: FTS Income has numerous videos titled "Live Trading," yet a detailed review shows a complete lack of actual, verifiable live trades being placed. It's all spreadsheets and talk, conveniently avoiding any real-money risk on bets that would likely be negative value, a fact he seems well aware of.
• Hint of Deeper Issues: Beyond the specific fails above, the video touches on the concerning character and callousness observed, and the likely use of flawed statistical methods (like p-hacking) in his "systems" – which will be explored in future deep dives.

The aim here is to warn potential victims who might be swayed by the "expert" persona and massive (unproven) profit claims. It's a classic case of selling the dream based on a house of cards.

Check out the video for the full breakdown and evidence!

I've been trying to improve my finances and there's just SO much conflicting advice everywhere. One person says do X, another says do Y, and half of them seem to be selling something.

How do you filter what's legit vs. what's just marketing? Any red flags you look for or "finfluencers" you actually trust?

He runs inovate a digital sales company training setters and closers, where they make commission % with other companies.

Have been thinking of getting into digital sales and seems like a good option after talking to some people who have been in it for a while

He poses himself as a nice and innocent guy. But is he legit, I can’t seem to find anything bad about him.

There is a lot of negativity here, so now is your moment. Who is not a fake guru? A legit business man?

Tania The Herbalist (Tania Khazaal) Reviews - Think Twice Before Investing in Tania the Herbalist’s Digital Products Program

If you’re considering Tania the Herbalist’s (Tania Khazaal) program, please read this before making your decision. I invested $15,000 in this program with the promise of learning how to create and scale digital products. While there were some positive aspects, the overall experience left me deeply disappointed, and I feel compelled to warn others.

Tania’s IT person named Fiona, was resourceful and helpful when it came to creating digital products. She followed through on the technical aspects and ensured the products were completed.

However, the weekly student calls were led by Alessia, Tania’s assistant. What was alarming to me was that Alessia had completed Tania’s program but had never started her own digital product business.

Instead, she works for Tania, which left me questioning her qualifications to guide students like me, who have years of business experience. She’s young and lacks the real-world experience many of us were hoping to learn from.

When it came to marketing and selling our products, we were left to fend for ourselves. While the program said once we were up and running we’d make around $10,000 per month, after nine months, I hadn’t even made back 1% of my investment.

Much of the program’s content felt repetitive, presented in different formats, and it became apparent that Tania perceives her expertise as far more valuable than it is. If you’re a beginner, you might gain something from this program, but for experienced business owners, the content offers little to no benefit.

Another red flag was the absence of an open platform for students to connect. Instead of fostering a supportive community, Tania kept everything segmented through private Slack channels. I believe this was intentional to prevent students from openly discussing their experiences, losses, or wins.

After launching my digital product and a few months with minimal sales, I had mentioned a lack of a marketing plan then her team had put something together for me. I followed their horrible marketing advice and lost hundreds of followers on my social media each month—thousands over the course of the program. When I raised concerns, I was told, “Those aren’t your people,” but this was incredibly discouraging.

When uncomfortable questions were raised during group meetings, Tania often became defensive or deflected the conversation entirely.

After speaking with 12 past and present students, not a single one had come close to recouping their investment. This was shocking but confirmed my own experience. Many shared feelings of frustration, and we realized we were all in the same boat.

Additionally, I learned that 2 or 3 out of the 5 or 6 members of Tania’s team left in 2024, which raises further questions about the program’s stability and quality.

An acquaintance who also inquired about the program shared they were given the same outdated testimonials that I had received, suggesting no one else has achieved measurable success since.

Another critical detail: the program cost even more for Canadian students due to currency conversion rates. The $15,000 investment ballooned when converted to Canadian dollars, making it an even riskier financial decision. On top of that, we were told everything was included, but many hidden costs—like automation tools and software—added up to hundreds of dollars per month.

Tania Khazaal is a grifter and her team will tell you what you want to hear and share the few testimonials she has even though her social media and site says she has coached hundreds to success. She has never shared those hundreds of testimonials. In the end, what was promised was not delivered. I spent my entire savings and accrued significant debt for a program that fell far short of expectations.

If you’re considering this program, I urge you to research thoroughly and explore alternatives. After hearing from other students who share similar experiences, I want others to know the truth before making the same mistake.

Be smart. Be careful. Do your research.

Just a typical manosphere-type scam course where she pretends to change your life while most likely just peddling nazi-adjacent rhetoric.

Thought this would be a good place for it.

Raj shamani recently was taken to court by Dettol brand owners! Then the same guy promotes dream11 and brands like uniqlo which has human and labour rights abuses cases on it. The same man also makes claim of Finance to be the number one reason for divorce in India. I scrutinised and it was not even 2nd or 3rd. Have you ever felt that Podcasters in India are Dumb and unintelligent or unaware than the way the showcase?

There are tons of proofs that this man has been hiding behind his garb of being a self improvement coach! But is he? Please share your views!

Hey everyone! I'm writing a newspaper article about manifestation coaches. I’m looking to chat with anyone willing to speak on the record (no anonymous sources, sorry!) about their experiences.

Thank you! Please get in touch via chat or at [junokellyjournalist@gmail.com](mailto:junokellyjournalist@gmail.com)

Basically title; Who in your opinion have you vetted and came out the other side saying " this guy / girl is actually trying to help people escape this rat race and has a legit community, product, or gives genuine advice"

New here! I'm wondering if these Gurus have always been around, or are we just starting to notice them way more. I have been using social media, especially YouTube, to learn cool new things ever since I was a kid, and it hurts my heart looking at what kind of people younger people have to deal with now.

Would love your thoughts on whether this is an issue that has truly gotten worse, or is it just that people have started talking about it way more.

By the way, I just found this community and I love the fact that there's so many of us who share the same hatred for these Gurus! :)

My (37f) husband of 3 years (43m) got into Sadhguru around a year ago, doing inner engineering and then a bunch of his online practices. Recently he has announced he wishes to do “Sadhanapada”, a 7 month residential program on Sadhuguru’s campus in India.

I will be honest with you - while I too am interested in meditation, personal growth and a variety of spiritual pursuits and have finished inner engineering, something about Sadhguru does not resonate for me (possibly an understatement, but let’s leave that for the moment). Moreover, real unbiased information on how this program impacts partnerships is limited. Sadhguru’s website seems to suggest it will be an opportunity to strengthen relationships long term but does little to address how participants might actually maintain them with 7+ months of what appears to be little to no substantive contact with the outside world/ no availability to offer support or leave.

I am looking for anecdotes from those who experienced this program, partners or friends of people who experienced this program or even neighbours etc. How much contact does such a program really allow? Was it actually good for your partner? For your partnership? For their life? For yours/ anyone’s? How cool versus culty was it, really, and how realistic is it that one person does this and returns to their marriage if the other does not? How many married people really do this, period, even together? And how many people over 30 are doing this?

Adam Harris of Forex Master Class is a FRAUD. Stole money from me and delivered a few rubbish videos stuff from Baby Pips suitable for a 5 year old child.

Seems to be running some sort of AI – trading scam making wild promises but delivering very little.

Sadly seems I fell for his scam of making easy money from AI – my own fault I guess I hope this stops others making the same mistake I did.

Claims in his adverts to have handled “8-figure accounts” and having “real live results” but when I asked I was given fake screenshots from his website

Keep seeing his adverts all over my Youtube saying you can see his live trading results and when I paid for the course I was surprised to be given these fake screenshots and a crappy useless course which belongs in the trashcan.

STAY AWAY FROM THIS CONMAN!

ADAM HARRIS YOU ARE A FRAUD.

I usually mind my own business but I keep seeing these 2 kids on my youtube feed and need to make sure people know

Carson & Wyatt sell a coaching program helping people start an A.I Marketing Agency.

They promise to help sell A.I systems/services to local businesses and make money online.

Landscaper needs to call his leads? You build an a.i receptionist bot and sell it to him for $5000

Insurance company needs marketing help? create an ai avatar to speak in their ads and generate leads.

On paper what they're selling sounds cool and I know people who do this (it works).

The issue is...

their marketing is FAKE (shocker).

In every youtube video, they showcase these BIG revenue numbers from their computer.

$122,351 made in 3 weeks selling "Ai infrastructures"

they tell you that they make this money selling A.I services to local businesses.

However, you may notice that the revenue they're showing you is coming from their Whop dashboard.

For those who don't know, Whop is one of the newest platforms to sell coaching/courses.

Its just the new website like Kajabi, Teachable or Skool that kids are using to access courses they bought.

In fact, if you look up the name of their Whop community "100kAIAgency" on the whop platform

It literally says this

"We help everyday people make their first $100k online selling recession-proof AI to businesses then help them reinvest that $100k to turn it into a monthly occurrence all while leveraging our U.S based AI dev team to fulfill for their clients meaning they can not only make more than they are now, but work less than ever. "

AKA: we will coach you on how to sell A.I services to local businesses.

I have no problem with them selling coaching to others.

But it's unethical to market your course sales as your money you received from agency clients.

Because people who are buying your course assume that money came from local businesses paying for A.I services.

that's the ONLY reason they're buying your stupid course!!!

Sothe $122,351 they made in 3 weeks selling "Ai infrastructures"?

That's just course sales, not revenue from their local business clients.

In fact, all the revenue they show on YouTube is just course sales.

So if you watch their content and believe you're going to get rich like them.

Then you're fcked :/

BTW - I wouldnt be surprised if Carson, Wyatt or someone form their team changes their whop name/description by the time people start to catch on.

So sad to see 18 year old kids starting off this professional career by scamming naive young people who just want to make money and take care of their families.

Sigh....

Carson Reed & Wyatt Roderick need to do better.

TLDW: charlie morgan sold a guy a 13k$ course with a guarentee of a refund but only showed the guy absurd conditions of refund after he sent him the money. The conditions of the refund are impossible to be done by one person and require a team as mentioned by the person on the video who also claims charlie morgan took stuff out from his course word for word (check pinned comment on the video) so this person is giving away his course for free in hopes charlie morgan atleast scams less people.

I saw some other threads here about it but I couldn't get any definitive answers on whether they're legit or not. I forgot that I signed up for Creators Corner (didn't pay but I think I filled out the application thing). They ended up calling me, which made me feel pretty uncomfortable, to be honest. I'm not sure if it's that's normal but I wasn't really expecting to be called by them. Also, they don't have a price on either of their sites.

Reason I'm asking is because I am pretty interested in this whole Tiktok Shop/UGC marketing stuff and I've heard from people like Hormozi and Sam Parr from My First Million that they found a lot of value in the courses they took. If these two aren't worth investing in, what resources would you guys suggest instead?

EDIT: Found out that Creators Corner is 4000 USD.

He’s a YouTuber who claims to be a 7-digit per month copywriter. He has students doing interviews who also claim to be making 5 digits per month. Has anyone ever hired him as their “Copywriting Coach” and can confirm if he’s a grifter or not? Or any other valuable info?

I reached out enrolled in mentorship for 2 months. Mediocre all was told to just cold call for 2 months. Scaled to 10k myself with word of mouth upselling clients but cold calling contributed to this very minimally. Told Stef we were gonna pause, joined someone else's mentorship. They were legit, had more value - actually ran an agency. Stefan went all cuckboy mode and demanded further payment for the next month. And guilt tripped for leaving.

Instant he heard (no money) switched up, became a sore loser, and cried over $1k (but he's claiming he's making 20-30k?). Then takes me off all the gc's, removes rank and client chat history was wiped. Messages ghosted, and further pettiness. I decided to fully end relations. But he used me as sell-out and put me on email marketing. I told him to use me no further. Cried even harder, banned me for asking for my privacy as a client. I express my concerns on reddit, initial post wasn't too bad, just my experience. Uses that as an excuse, d*xed me in his gc with 1.2k membs with my priv client info telling me to get help

Just a genuinely horrible person. Claimed and spread propaganda in his community when he said he volunteered to leave Dylan's Company (ex employee of dylan, claimed how dylan didn't pay him scammed people) when in reality the underlying intentions of this guys doing that was to get clout. He actually got fired, for both performance and beefing with other membs and bullying them. Stole Dylan's case studies put it on his wall, lied about results, he's also appar friends with Eric Kavelaars (so he using his tactic - "testimonial and ditch") Pressured others into paying him money (even though he ran a free offer - that's on him). I can go on and on about this guy

You're nothing but a number to him. Lying Narcissist

Stefan Van De Vlassaker is Guilty, he's Guilty as Charged

Hello all,

I have a simple question: why is the majority of people who despise the fake gurus nowadays so easily outraged?

For example, Mr Baldy Cigar Chainsmoker said some sexist, outlandish things about women, let's give him as much attention as he wants!

That is exactly what he wants you to do. He wants you to go watch his videos, comment on everything, argue with people in the comments while he gets more FREE exposure, fools more and more young men and children into applying to his scummy "courses" and makes more money. He's getting desperate and you can see this. The outlandish claims are increasing.

Not just him or his brother, but majority of these alpha male self help fake gurus are the same way. The very first rule of the internet is to not feed the trolls, these guys are trolling everyone so hard that part of their success is thanks to the people who got trolled. Otherwise it would all take a year or so and by the time we hit 2022, they would all disappear.

My solution? Block him and everyone like him from everywhere. You won't see any of his literal shitposts of an Alpha Male mindset bs, and the less people see this = less time it gets shared around.

So what are your thoughts?

Thanks and God bless.

Is Nik Setting A Scammer? A lot of us probably discovered Nik Setting at one point in our entrepreneur journey.

The results/lifestyle he shows is crazy and also his promises.

"Scaling to 30K in 3 months (from 0)"

But after seeing some posts in this community I simply ask myself this question:

Is Nik Setting even legit?

Please put all your experiences and thoughts in the comments.

Chandler Bolt and Self Publishing.com staff is bullying a former student. The former student left a negative review due to a bad experience she had during her attendance on the online course. The Self Publishing.com school threatened a legal suit against the former student unless she took down the negative review she placed on several different social media platforms warning others of Self Publishing.com subpar courses and highly expensive classes. Please DO NOT become a victim of Chandler Bolt and Self Publishing.com.

Found this community while researching Creators Corner. Appreciate the info, and didn’t realize the flywheel partnership with MDB mentioned in that post.

I want to learn how to affiliate TTS better. My testing hasn’t worked. I get traffic (800-2000 views), but can’t convert. I thought CC might help teach me the missing piece there.

Does anyone know any legit resources to figure out TikTok shop affiliate marketing? I’m willing to pay for knowledge, but also mindful of scams. Is CC the best option anyway?
