Happy new thread all.

Meanwhile FLP have worked out how to fill a theatre. Pay (bribe) them with a free holiday.

Keep costs down by booking it the week after the we'll known film festival when everyone has buggered off. 😎😎👍👍

Castle will have had to fork out for the ‘accreditation’ so I don’t know how much she’s made herself

I wonder if the business people on the advisory board of the CPD Standards Office, strap line “training you can trust” are familiar with MLM and it’s assorted coaching scams?

Thanks for the new thread @Spongebobette!

So the yesterday Nurse managed to manifest being first in the queue when phoning for a doctor's appt. Shame she couldn't manifest not being ill to begin with!

Angrymum22 · 02/06/2023 17:47

Castle is not listed under the accredited course providers at the CPD service, yet.
I also did a quick calculation of income so far. Unless the flood gates open, unlikely, yet another scam will have bitten the dust.

Spongebobette · 02/06/2023 17:48

You have to focus really really hard to manifest shingles

If she’s paying ‘affiliates’ to bring people in that’s another expense

Thanks for new fred, @Spongebobette !

YouOKHun · 02/06/2023 17:57

@Angrymum22 shes not listed at the one that I see in my work life which I think is the usual one in healthcare settings (and other professional settings I’m sure) but she seems to be listed at the CPD Standards Office which I’d never heard of and doesn’t seem to be involved in CPD for many recognisable organisations. I haven’t looked too closely at CPDSO but did get a profile for Scamversity as a registered training biz when I searched. Says a lot about the CPDSO!

PieonaBarm · 02/06/2023 17:58

Just out of interest I googled "entrepreneur" and "entrepreneur training". Quite a few options came up including courses from the likes of Manchester and Cambridge Uni. You'd think with the 8 figure income Castle claims to have generated from her many income streams she'd have spent a few thousands on a sponsored result with google. Dean of Crayons and Marketing Expert Bruv is missing a trick there

A former Urban Retreat hun, now FMW, who is also one of Scamversity’s ambassadors has proudly announced she is working with 7 figure earner Castle. I’ve replied to her post to say that Castle has decided she is an 8 figure earner now and could she please keep up, “7 figures” was last week’s estimate.

I’ve just done a search and I found her on CPDSO. I did a bit of due diligence withe the company she was using the logo of and as if by magic the post with a link to the certificate with their logo on has disappeared and a new certificate with the logo of CPDSO is now on scamversity website.
Maybe CPD services took a look after I enquired and contacted her.
No doubt CPDSO issue accreditation without looking at content so probably a scam as well.

Are you saying that the first certificates awarded will have to be reissued without the original
logo?

...that's ok as they can correct the typos at the same time 😂

Jeez, such an amateur set-up, it reminds me of the scam emails from paypal/banks etc with spelling and grammar mistakes throughout

Angrymum22 · 02/06/2023 19:12

I would love to know what the FL French trip think about Castle’s latest endeavour.

fromdownwest · 02/06/2023 19:14

😂 making the industry professional. -using an un usable logo and a spelling mistake!!

You go Castle! You show them!

Reversing the camera on your phone I presume.

Angrymum22 · 02/06/2023 19:17

More time went into the meticulous build up to the big announcement than the actual product. Pretty much the business model for MLM so to be expected.

YouOKHun · 02/06/2023 19:21

So there has been a hasty logo/CPD organisation swop. Well spotted @Angrymum22.

What’s a learning reflection tool? Not sure either @Spongebobette though I can hazard a guess who the tool is.

Howsimplywonderful · 02/06/2023 20:03

As usual the ‘details’ are beyond castle and Bruv

Spongebobette · 02/06/2023 20:24

But they did photoshoots and everything!
