Blogger huangyun122 shares a friend's story of paying ¥2,980 for an "X growth bootcamp" that promised results via a low-quality income screenshot. The mentee posted 200+ tweets daily for two months and gained only 600 followers.
The screenshot used to lure victims has at least five obvious fabrication tells — including a payout dated "Nov 31, 2026," a date that doesn't exist.
