Threw $300 down the drain on a fake career coaching program

I signed up for a 6-week online career coaching course from a lady I found on Instagram, paid $300 upfront. She kept rescheduling calls and the materials were just generic PDFs I could've found on Google for free. After week 3 she went silent and I couldn't get my money back. Has anyone else fallen for one of these flashy programs and lost cash?

Wait, you mean handing $300 to an Instagram stranger wasn't a guaranteed ticket to career greatness? Sucks you got ghosted though, but at least you can repurpose those PDFs as kindling for your next bonfire.

Hey @rowan725, totally get the frustration. Getting ghosted like that stings. What actually helped me was joining a local business meetup group instead, way more real advice and connections there for way less money.
