Well, equal parts hilarious and infuriating. And to think that so many poor souls (aka ANY) fall for this A1 bullsh*t.

    Text - r/IAmA AmA Voyager87 11.3k points 2 days ago Someone who has signed up with one of those obviously fake 'I made $10k in a month' schemes that seem to be advertising all over YouTube lately. My 5 Questions: 1. What was the idea presented by the scheme? 2. Did you try what they suggested? 3. How did that turn out? 4. How do these companies make money from you? 5. Why did you leave?

    Text - Years ago I was browsing the internet and there was this ad saying that you could make 20k a month from home only doing as little as 4hrs of work a day. These ads were pretty common and I knew they were a scam, but one day I had too much free time on my hands, found one that had a site attached to it with the owner of the whole thing showing off in videos the money that came into his bank account and it had a low fee tied to it, like 10 or 15 bucks.

    Text - The 'offer' consisted of a 'self-published self-help book'. You know the kind, it's a tier lower than self help books and a tier lower than self published it's the kind that is a pdf on some sketchy pdf selling site.

    Text - Again, I knew it was fake, a scam, but the curiosity got the better of me. I didn't want to know the secret of getting rich (because I knew it was bs), I wanted to know what the scam was, what that money would buy me. See what was so ridiculously sly that he actually made huge chunks of money out of it (because I was fairly sure that the transactions that he showed in the vids were genuine).

    Text - So I bought the 'book' (i.e. pdf) and after downloading I opened it with antici pation. I don't remember the exact contents but basically it was one page, on that page were about 4 lines and the gist of it was 'Make a pdf in which you instruct people to make a pdf, to then sell it for $10 as a book that will teach you how to make 20k a month without working for it'.

    Text - I thought it was so cheeky, plus there was no return policy from the store or the payment method that I used, that I figured he deserved it if he was able to play me that good. I remember sitting at my desk and laughing and thinking 'that motherf*cker for at least half an hour. 7.8k points 2 days ago
