Reading stories like this makes me wish I had no morals and were willing to scam people for personal gain. I wish these scammers would get punished instead.

The thread says they show ads and also charge weekly for service.

I find it really hard to believe this app is making 5m from ads and uninformed people buying it.

I agree this sounds like total bs. Anyone can put any number to say this is a multimillion dollar scam. Looks like an Epic shill to me.

They are charging at a 5m/year rate. This doent even include profit from ads they inject.
