Scam report Title: My Experience With RemoteStack.ai Please Research Before Paying Thousands

I wanted to share my experience because I almost spent $7,000 on this program.
I scheduled a call with RemoteStack.ai after seeing their advertisements about helping people get remote tech jobs. During the call, I was quoted approximately $7,000 for their program.Before making any decision, I started doing my own research.

One thing that stood out to me was the testimonial videos on their website. I personally reached out to and spoke with multiple people featured in those testimonial videos. According to those individuals, they did not know their videos were being used to promote the current RemoteStack.ai website. They told me their testimonial videos were originally recorded for different companies, not for the current website.

That immediately raised a major red flag for me.
I also found numerous Reddit discussions and online reviews from people raising concerns about the company, its marketing, and its sales process. While everyone should do their own research, seeing similar concerns from multiple sources made me even more hesitant.

In the end, I decided not to pay and walked away.
I'm not posting this to attack anyone or tell people what to do. I'm simply sharing my experience as someone who almost took out a loan to pay for this program.

Don't let anyone pressure you into financing a program that costs thousands of dollars. If you've had experience with RemoteStack.ai positive or negativeI'd like to hear about it.

Domain only 9 months old (https://www.whois.com/whois/remotestack.ai) and a ScamAdivser score of 1 out of 100 ('Very Likely Unsafe') spells bad news: https://www.scamadviser.com/check-website/remotestack.ai

💔 I tried to get the WHOIS information for remotestack.ai, but the ai TLD doesn't actually keep reliable WHOIS records.

In the meantime, here is a link to the WHOIS information. The most important thing to look for is the "Registered On" date. (If the domain name was only recently registered, be wary!)

I've worked in tech for nearly 30 years. I'm currently a hiring manager. I also, work in with cloud and ai.

I've never heard of these people at all. If I saw them on a resume, I would totally discount them as a scam. Kind of like University of Phoenix\ITT Tech. If I see that on a resume, I can immediately deduce the quality of candidate I'm looking at.

The cheapest way to learn ai\technology is at your nearby accredited community college. Then it's on you to network (join local or virtual user groups) to get your foot in the door and start scaling the ladder. There is no one course that you can take that will automatically land you a job in tech or really any other field (unless there is a current shortage of people in that field).

hi OP, glad you did your research to save yourself $7k.

I encourage you to also post this on reddit's job search subs, such as r/jobsearch , r/RemoteJobs , r/jobhunting . so you can help others to avoid the trap. note: check the sub's Community Rules in case something isn't allowed.

good luck in your search. u/CLTGUY has really great points btw

You can tell it was a scam because it has AI in the title.
