How Not to Get Scammed
- Watch and pay attention to detail
- Get reference/success stories and reach out to them
- When all else fails, do a chargeback with your bank when it’s a legitimate scam

- Remember, everything can be figured out
- Find a mentor and invest in yourself and business. It’ll be faster than trying to figure it out alone
