Fake Gurus - Crowdsourced database where online gurus get exposed

Hello Product Hunters 👋 Did you know that the fake guru industry is estimated to grow to $370 Billion by 2026? That is $370 Billion scammed from unsuspecting people using deceptive marketing methods. The annoying ads of snake oil salesmen are popping up everywhere. You've all seen them. Standing by their flashy (rented) supercars and selling us dreams like: 👉Getting rich quickly with trading. 👉Becoming rich with dropshipping and other side hustles. 👉Getting ripped and muscular in two months. 👉Unlocking health secrets with this one special diet. Etc. They'll place fake positive reviews on their sales pages, promising they're the real deal. Yet, when you try the course for $1,500, it doesn't work that well for you. You get zero results. When you track down those "happy customers," you find they earn affiliate commissions by promoting those fake gurus. We thought there was nothing that could stop this plague and make them accountable... ...until this idea came to us. We have started a public Google sheets list where everyone can add their experience and information about various internet gurus. The idea is to collectively build a definitive list of online gurus so that people can uncover who is a real guru and who is a fraud. The information gathered in this crowdsourced project will be compiled and organized into a one-stop online database of online gurus. The plan is to create individual profile pages for every guru featuring in-depth information on their cons, pros, and tactics. People will be able to get an honest overview of the most popular gurus in one easy-to-use independent platform. Are you ready to uncover the dirty tricks and secrets of fraudsters together? 🙌 You can visit fakegurus.com to access the spreadsheet. Let's bust the con-men and make the life of scammers more difficult! Product hunting is fantastic, but it might be time to become a fake guru hunter! 😉 Please share in the comments if you have any questions, suggestions, or feedback. 🙏🏼✨

This is a really needed type of product. There are so many “gurus” all around and it is not so easy to check them thoroughly. You got my vote!

Amazing 😂 I'm sure everyone has an example they can add to the list.

Good luck on your launch!
