AI Agency Mastermind Ghosted Me After Taking $20,000

AI Agency Mastermind's promises shimmered like a desert mirage—enticing from a distance, vanishing upon arrival. After weeks of slick emails and high-energy webinars showcasing “revolutionary“ AI business strategies, I bit the bullet and invested $20,000 on April 12, 2025. Before I handed over my credit card details, Wyatt and Carson were practically my new best friends. They'd respond to messages within minutes, jumping on calls to reassure me about my concerns with genuine-seeming enthusiasm.

Then came the deafening silence. My first post-payment email sat in digital purgatory for 17 days. Follow-ups? Completely ignored. The stark contrast between pre-sale and post-sale attention felt like textbook bait-and-switch tactics—and unfortunately, this was just the beginning of a six-month journey into disappointment.

Those daily coaching calls they'd plastered all over their marketing? More fiction than fact. Throughout May 2025, they canceled 16 out of 31 scheduled calls, usually with barely two hours' notice. When calls actually happened, they'd wrap up after 20 minutes instead of the promised hour, often led by junior team members who stumbled through material they clearly weren't familiar with. I posted a specific question about implementing their AI sales funnel in the Discord “support“ channel—it sat there gathering digital dust for 23 days despite my gentle reminders.

The Discord community itself felt off. Something wasn't right. The active members wrote with eerily similar patterns, popped online at strange hours, and never engaged in any meaningful back-and-forth. I directly messaged five supposedly active members. The response? Crickets. Complete silence from every single one, which raised serious questions about whether these “community members“ were even real people.

Their “exclusive proprietary training“ looked suspiciously like content freely available elsewhere. The supposedly “revolutionary“ AI prompt engineering section contained identical information to free guides published months earlier. Their advanced strategies barely covered ChatGPT basics—the kind of stuff you'd find in a five-minute YouTube tutorial. Despite the hefty $20,000 price tag, they were still referencing GPT-3 features in August 2025, even though GPT-4.5 had been widely available since July.

Between June and November 2025, I made 14 separate attempts to contact Wyatt and Carson through every available channel. Not a single response came back. When I finally managed to join one of the rare coaching calls in October, my questions about accountability were smoothly sidestepped.

My digging revealed they'd been removed from both Whop.com and Stripe payment platforms due to reported misrepresentation issues. When I tried to pursue a refund in November 2025, the payment processor informed me the company had been suspended, making refunds impossible.

I invested $20,000 expecting professional guidance, a supportive community, and cutting-edge AI business strategies. What I received was apparently recycled content, what seemed to be an inactive community, and founders who became ghosts once they had my payment.
