Affiliate Marketing Scam Exposed!!

Last week, I saw someone posted on our community Facebook group about an Online business opportunity. You might have seen similar posts which talk about things like —> Work from home - No business experience needed - Be your boss - Skip 9 to 5 - This business changed my life.

I worked in IT for about 15 years now and I instantly realized that there is no easy way - ‘Jadu ki Chadi 🪄‘ - where you make money from online business. This is just a dream-selling scam. But I had to make efforts to expose them.

I reached out to that person and as I knew already, they started pitching a pre-defined message on my Facebook messenger and asked me for the email address.

I gave that person my 17th Gmail address that I made for scammers like these. 😀 

They started sending me a bunch of emails with the context of selling dreams and suggesting we have a great system and it works for you and you don’t have to do things. It just makes you money and all bullshit. Watch this webinar and if you want more info sign up for this plan of ‘$149‘. There, you have it folks. Money talk.

I started investigating more and realized that they use a sophisticated system where they make you feel that your life is not worth it without this business.
