Threw $350 down the drain on a 'guaranteed' Facebook ad targeting course

I bought this course from some guy named Chad who promised his 'secret pixel hack' would get me leads for under a dollar. Two months of following his steps and I got exactly zero conversions and $350 poorer. The dude's support email bounced back after the first week. Has anyone else fallen for one of those influencer ad courses that just rehashes the Facebook blueprint?

Honestly, that "secret pixel hack" part got me. I used to think those gurus were onto something real, like they had access to some hidden Facebook feature the rest of us didn't know about. But after wasting money on two different courses that just copied the same basic targeting advice from YouTube, I finally got it. They're just selling you the same free info with a fancy name and a payment link. Sorry you got burned too, man.

Bought a course on "secret traffic tricks" once, turns out the secret was just hitting refresh on the free YouTube video.
