Ok, I am really getting annoyed buy so many scammers, fake gurus, etc. here these days. In order not to add to the drama I am NOT going to mention names, links to threads, and will forego using any screenshots.
I ask you to please not start the drama on this thread.
TLDR
Use common sense. Too good to be true = almost always true. Stay safe, and best of success on your journeys.
Let's get started, shall we? Just simple ways to protect yourself
Again, you may know the saying: If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
If it is all so easy, legal etc, why not hire a VA for low $ and bank? Again it cannot get saturated they say, so why would they sell it? Or just create a bot, remember it cannot get saturated so even if the bot maker did it , it would not matter.
- Never give up
- Create X to make Y
- This is how I Made X by doing Y (Y is what they are trying to sell indirectly), again likely with screenshots that can be edited showing tons of money to get the gullible people to PM them
Now, we all know reselling itself is not a scam or necessarily bad. However, the problem arises when you buy from a reseller, then have an issue.
Imagine you buy a Bot. Said bot was just bought source code then being resold here.
You now have a problem, obviously, the seller was not smart enough to create the bot, so will he be able to help you with simple questions?
And many many more scenarios...

Let's get started, shall we? Just simple ways to protect yourself
- Is it a trusted member (and we will get into the cons of it later)?
- No? Then why do you trust this person to sell you X?
- Yes they will say I am new here but have done this for XX years and it is all working
- Do they have any proof of their claims?
- We are not talking screenshots here (inspect element is your friend)
- Do they have multiple videos? (ANd I won't go into detail here but even then be suspicious as can be faked, not saying the video itself but the source to get the content for the video to be fake...)
- Does it sound too good to be true?
- GUARANTEED income
- Guaranteed $XXX/day no work involved
- Cannot get saturated
- All legal

- Look through their threads here. Are they hyping up what they are trying to sell to you in tons of threads before?
- Example, someone asking about "a true BH section", then goes on to get PMs and trying to sell his scam method via another forum
- Never give up
- Create X to make Y
- This is how I Made X by doing Y (Y is what they are trying to sell indirectly), again likely with screenshots that can be edited showing tons of money to get the gullible people to PM them
- Are they actually knowledgeable about what they are selling?
- Ok, now an exception to above. If all their posts are simply helpful tips when someone asks questions about let's say Facebook, and they are more than copy&paste, and neither are "yes that is how it works" kind of replies then we can at least assume they know how Facebook works
- Trying too hard to take the conversation off BHW
- So any Jr Vip cannot sell in a thread , but can of course reply to hire Freelancer threads. So no reason to take it off BHW for more than a quicker convo
- Ask them if they are a reseller
- Of course, they can just lie and say no, but some just do not respond which means --> Run
- If it is their product they should be able to answer your specific questions, like how are ordered fulfilled? Through an API? How does bot X do Y? Browser-based or just http requests ?? etc..
