Random related story: At my 2nd year of college, one of my buddies got into the dropshipping fad after watching courses on YouTube. He drop-hipped cheap bracelets from AliExpress and actually made profits...guess how? He advertised that he was donating 10% of its revenue to people affected by terrorist activities in my country (Nigeria)...turns out people fell for the marketing, and he did not donate one dime.
He left college shortly after and now sells online courses on dropshipping and building businesses, LMAO

There's a fine line between "marketing" and lying, and this is plainly on the wrong side of it. In general though, I try to take any claims where "a portion of the proceeds" supposedly funds some charity with a huge grain of salt. It's difficult/impossible to tell how truthful the business is being about the amount donated.

- jxramos 4y agoIt’s outright deceptive and fraudulent. He sounds like a deceptive individual is how it comes off to me.
- boeingUH60 4y agoWell, he started selling dropshipping courses..
- babyshake 4y agoThe only way to be sure is for it to be corroborated by the recipient on their own site, social media account, etc.
- userbinator 4y agoWas it the classic "up to 10% (or more)"?
