Hey guys, I need your opinion on something that’s been bugging me.
I met this guy who’s a bit older than me during my morning run. He seemed cool at first, but now he’s talking about some e-commerce thing. He says it’s free and his mentors want to help people make money. But I have to go through this weird 6-week thing before I can even meet them.
The whole setup feels off. He keeps mentioning how his faith has played a big role in his success and prefers meeting in the evenings. I’m not sure if this opportunity is legitimate or if I’m about to get scammed.
Has anyone experienced something similar? What red flags should I be aware of, and is it normal for valid mentorships to be so unclear? How can I verify if these mentors really have the success they claim?
I really don’t want to miss out on a genuine opportunity, but I also want to avoid any potential scams. Any suggestions on how to proceed?
yo, that sounds pretty sketchy tbh. i’ve seen similar stuff before and it usualy turns out to be some MLM scheme or something. the whole faith + ecommerce combo is a big red flag. id be careful if i were u. maybe ask for some concrete proof of their success? like actual numbers or client testimonials. don’t let em pressure u into anything!
Hey there, ClimbingMountain! Your story’s got me super curious. I’ve heard about similar setups before, and I gotta say, it’s raising some eyebrows for me too.
Have you tried asking this guy for more concrete details about the program? Like, what exactly do they teach in those 6 weeks? And why can’t you meet the mentors right away? That’s a bit odd, isn’t it?
I’m also wondering about this faith aspect he keeps bringing up. How does that tie into e-commerce? And why the evening meetings? Sounds a bit secretive to me.
You know what might be cool? Maybe try to find some of these mentors online. If they’re as successful as they claim, there should be some info about them out there, right? LinkedIn, maybe?
Just remember, if something feels off, it probably is. Trust your gut, ya know? But hey, I’m super interested to hear how this plays out. Keep us posted, will ya?
I’ve encountered similar situations, and it’s prudent to be cautious. Legitimate mentorship programs typically have clear structures and transparent information about their mentors. The combination of vague details, emphasis on faith, and evening meetings raises concerns. Consider requesting verifiable success metrics or client testimonials. If they’re hesitant to provide concrete information or pressure you to commit, it’s likely not a genuine opportunity. Remember, reputable mentors are usually easy to find online with established professional profiles. Trust your instincts; if something feels off, it probably is. Protect yourself by thoroughly researching before engaging further.
