What we check

Common sales pitch red flags

The persuasion tricks designed to bypass your rational brain.

False scarcity

"Only 3 left!" on a digital product, or a stock counter that magically never reaches zero. Manufactured pressure.

Fake urgency

"Offer expires in 10 minutes!" countdowns that reset when you refresh. Pressure to buy before you think.

Inflated anchor prices

"$2,997 value, yours today for $97!" The big number was never real. It exists to make the small number feel cheap.

MLM / pyramid signals

"Be your own boss", "residual income", emphasis on recruiting others, fees to join. Classic multi-level marketing signals.

Unrealistic income claims

"Make $10k a month from home!" Screenshot testimonials from "students" who always happen to be in exotic locations.

Fabricated testimonials

Stock photos of fake "customers", identical review language, or social proof that can't be independently verified.

Bait-and-switch language

"Free trial" that silently converts to a paid subscription. "Risk-free" with a 30-day process to get your money back.

Vague guarantees

"Satisfaction guaranteed" with no actual terms. A refund policy is only useful if the conditions are clear.

Questions

Sales pitch FAQ

Is all persuasion manipulation?

No. Marketing and persuasion are normal parts of commerce. Red Flag This looks for tactics that cross the line into deception: manufactured urgency, fake scarcity, fabricated social proof, and claims that can't be substantiated.

How do I tell an MLM from a real business opportunity?

Key signals: you have to pay to join, you earn more from recruiting others than from selling a product, the "business" emphasises lifestyle over actual revenue, and nobody can show you verifiable income figures from real participants.

What about "coaches" selling courses?

Legitimate courses exist, but the "make $10k a month as a coach" space is full of pitches that rely on the exact tactics we flag: fake urgency, inflated testimonials, unrealistic income claims. Scan before you buy.

Can I check a webinar or video pitch?
