Anyone heard of karatbars? Starting to see people promote this. Looks like another scam people are falling for.
Yeah i heard of it one of my homies was trying to get me down with it and i passed, it defiantly sounded like an some type of scam but who knows. I also know that there is cheaper way to buy gold than buying it from karatbars.

after doing some research it amazes me people are so stupid. With a recession coming up these types of scams are so easy to do.

Uber and left have been at it for years and both companies aren't profitable yet but tryp predicts it will in one year

:mjlol:

They say riders keep 100% of their fares and tips so the only way the company makes money is by getting people to sign up for the $200 monthly.

Currently uber has 750k (give or take) drivers, let's say a miracle happened and by the year tryp has 750K riders.

750k x 2400 (200x12 monthly fee)= 1800000000 or 1.8 billion ( and thats gross revenue, add to that costs etc and :mjlol:) + this on for a whole year.

Uber made 2.6 billion in Q2 2018 and till this day isn't profitable. Thats uber WORLD WIDE and only Q2 (6 months)

All this took me 15 min to piece together, I can't believe people are this stupid :francis:

I got into an argument with that clown on YouTube a couple years back when he was doing wake up now. He was shook when I told him his exact address, he lived in LIC idk what he's on now as I haven't looked at a video from him in years

I work as real estate agent and knew exactly where he lived based on his videos. I really want to two piece this scamming little shyt.

They prey on the young ,desperate and stupid. A lot of these people who fall for these MLM, forex, binary options, drop shipping etc are either college dropouts with few job options, broke and massively indebted college graduates with bullshyt degrees, middle class Americans working minimum wage jobs babrely scraping by with no prospects. So when they hear shyt like a get rich quick scheme they buy in it because it plays into their emotions. They then stick by it religiously because they don’t want to believe it’s a scam because this is their livelihood at stake. So they stick with the company to the bitter end until the company belly ups and they realize they wasted time and money on those scams.
