Not sure what to think about this guy

Lakkk
This guy reached out to me on a reddit DM from this account: SquareFit6454
 
He then DMed me the following:

"I don’t sell a course but I do 1-1 mentoring if you like over 8 weeks which would basically be a crash course for you. I’d continue to work with you until you get results. Let me know if you’d be interested and we can schedule a call"
 
Then he sent me a couple blurry screenshots. The first one I can't read at all. 

The 2nd one shows $50k GBP of sales on 131 orders in last 30 days. 

In the URL of that screenshot from shopify shows "sofa-empire-uk" which is presumably this website: https://sofaempireuk.co.uk/
 
That makes sense since with $50k of sales on 131 orders, he'd have an AOV of about $380 GBP.
 
I asked him for his IG so I could see who he was. He sent me this username @Hamzah_lakkkk which is a private account without many followers.
 
He said he also has a marketing agency where we run ads for over 80+ clients and offered a call. Said he does LinkedIn outreach, cold emailing, and cold calling.
 
His sales people work on 20% commission to bring him clients, but most of it is word of mouth from ex clients and mentees
 
I then mentioned that I have this platform and some more info and he ghosted. 

Red flags:

  • He ghosted after mentioning I have a review platform
  • His outreach was very unprofessional 
  • His screenshots are blurry and not proven to be his
  • His account is private and he has no followers

Green flags:

  • He said he gets traffic from word of mouth

 

Overall, I can't say conclusively who this is or what he offers and if it's worth it. But I do see quite a few red flags, so just proceed with caution.
