fraud is big business. these are all frauds that don’t quite meet the legal standard of fraud. they have ad budgets and they use them.

what are they selling? usually extremely low value “classes” or “workshops” or similar. they’ll spend a handful of hours giving you a crash course on something like, for example, real estate investment. it’s nearly worthless and nothing you couldn’t learn yourself from legitimate sources or self-study. they’re just charging you $3000 for it instead.
