People come to my mentoring program with all kinds of stories of how they were scammed by other “gurus” (frauds) in the business. Everything from an exorbitant price (40k and up) to boiler room coaches fulfilling the program. The most outrageous sin is charging $3k or more for a boot camp that is an infomercial for the real goods.
Ask around, Google people before you buy. Also, look 5-6 pages deep in Google because many of theses ripoff artists will set up pages like “guru-name-scam.com” to bury negative reviews.
Remember, if you bought at a live event, federal law gives you 72 hours to rescind and get your money back.
