Lewis Howes School of Greatness
How I got scammed out of $1M
What was said
"Not only did he vanish, I was not even able to serve him because I had to hire a private investigator to find him. Shut up. That's crazy. And you spent 6 months with him and his team. I found out it was all a sham. Come on. He had hired actors."
An unnamed guest on Lewis Howes’ School of Greatness says he invested a total of US$1 million in a company after a six-month consulting arrangement and due-diligence period, including rolling a US$300,000 fee into the deal. He alleges the company’s CEO disappeared three days after the money was transferred and says he hired a private investigator to locate him. The guest claims he later discovered the operation was a sham, alleging the CEO used hired “actors” and kept “two sets of books”.
