boardsi - summary - review

 Summarization of hundreds of comments on Reddit.

• Ineffective Service:
  • The users explicitly states, "Confirmed that it doesn't work." This suggests that the service, whatever it promises to deliver, fails to achieve its intended purpose.
  • The user also mentioned that they still had to do things "the old fashioned way" which implies that the service was supposed to automate or replace a process that it failed to do.
    
    
• Charging Without Value:
  • The user paid "a couple hundred a month" for the service. This indicates that Advisory Cloud charges a subscription fee.
  • Combined with the fact that it doesn't work, this means they are taking money, without providing the value they advertise.
    
    
• Dubious Legitimacy:
  • The phrase "even though it didn't seem legit" highlights a general feeling of suspicion towards the company. This suggests that the company's marketing or operational practices raise red flags.
    
    
• Lack of Results:
  • The core of any scam is taking money, without providing a product, or service that works.

Similar Alleged Scams:

• The author lists other companies (Experteer.com, Jobleads, execunet.com, execthread.com, directorinstitute.com.au) with similar questionable practices, including charging fees for access to often expired or non-existent job postings.
• They also accuse some job boards (like CareerBuilder and Lensa) of being infiltrated by these scam postings.

Other Scam Tactics:

• The author warns of companies like KASTECH, which offer "advisory board" positions that are actually sales roles with dubious commission structures.
• They also caution against scam emails and LinkedIn messages that promise advisory roles and investment opportunities, especially those with suspicious website links.

Key Takeaway:

• The core message is to be highly skeptical of any service that requires upfront fees for access to board positions or executive jobs.
• The author stresses the importance of networking and due diligence.
• The author provides links to further information regarding the boardsi scams.
