Victim Story: $20,000 Lost to AI Agency Mastermind

Seeking help from AI Agency Mastermind was like calling into an echo chamber - my voice bouncing back at me, unanswered. I dropped $20,000 on their course/coaching “DFY“ service back on April 4th, 2025. Twenty thousand dollars. Gone. What seemed like a strategic business investment quickly revealed itself as anything but.

After my payment cleared, Wyatt and Carson did their disappearing act. Throughout May and June, I fired off 14 increasingly desperate emails and 23 Discord messages. Nothing. Radio silence. The contrast between their pre-sale attentiveness and post-purchase absence was jarring.

Those “daily coaching calls“ they'd promised? What a joke. Over six months, 17 calls were straight-up canceled without warning. Another 9 were rescheduled at the last possible minute. And the handful that actually happened? Just Wyatt and Carson chatting with what seemed to be their buddies. I'd log in, sit there awkwardly, and wonder where all the other paying members were.

By September, the bitter reality hit hard. They'd abandoned both Whop.com and Stripe platforms. I discovered this while frantically searching for refund options, staring at my computer screen in disbelief.

Their so-called “community“ Discord was a ghost town. The few profiles there barely interacted. My technical questions about AI implementation collected digital dust for weeks. On May 27th, I posted a detailed question about API integration. “27 members online“ the counter claimed, yet zero responses came.

The course materials themselves? Nothing but recycled basics you could find for free with a five-minute YouTube search. Their “advanced“ prompt engineering module looked suspiciously identical to free tutorials I'd stumbled across online. Their “insider knowledge“ about AI business models was outdated information from 2023, packaged as cutting-edge insight.

Tracking them down proved nearly impossible. My July attempts to locate their registered business address hit dead ends - they seemed to relocate constantly, operating from nowhere and everywhere at once. The only validation came in October when I finally connected with another customer who shared my experience - the same pattern of unresponsiveness, mysteriously canceled calls, and that strange, empty “community.“
