My suspicion is you haven't been invited to a carding ring, but instead somebody is trying to scam you. At some point, you will need to put up some money or somehow give them your financial details at which point they'll disappear. The best scams always involve baiting the mark into apparently doing something they know is illegal; when they get scammed, they won't go to the authorities.

  Yes, the self impaling hook = you rat them = you are part of the catch for taking part - if not your $$ = part of their booty = down from here...

    yeah feds might be interested if he's a legit ring of card harvesters but I bet they charge you some tuition, and just don't actually ever have a session with you. Not worth LEO time, you'll have to take the L and learn.

100% also if you find forums where people are actually into doing this type of shit, you will find that they are not exactly eager to teach newbies or the public in general their techniques. And they sure as fuck don't want to heighten their risk by involving people who don't know wtf they're doing.

A hint that OP is the target is the sense of urgency they try to create: > The only time you'll be invited. > STATUS (11/12/2022): 4 out of 25 slots remaining.

  I immediately thought, "This is a scam and they just want to take your money," when I got to this part: >What I do is simple, I provide a mentorship...

It all goes back to the maxim that you can't con an honest man. Con "artists" always make the victim be a victim of their own dishonesty and greed.

100% a scam. Just reading the email content makes it clear. They didn't make a mistake of showing OP the coinbase URL. They are trying to appear legit while scamming them.

A quote that always stuck in my memory is and now I can’t recall exactly :) I never stole from an honest person they wanted something for nothing and I gave them nothing for something
