Rant: Bought a $200 online course about classroom tech that was just repackaged YouTube videos

Found this course promising to teach new interactive tools for middle school. Paid for it with my own money. Opened it up and it was just links to free videos anyone can find. Total waste. Anyone know a good, actual training site for teachers?

Heard the same scam from a coworker last week.

Yeah, your coworker hearing it too... makes me wonder if they're targeting specific offices or workplaces on purpose. Like maybe they get a list of where people work and try to hit whole teams at once.

Saw a whole article about this exact thing. They said these scammers are working in big groups now, sharing scripts. It's not just one person calling, it's like a whole system. They pressure you to act fast so you don't have time to think. Makes sense why the same story keeps popping up everywhere. Really gets under my skin how organized they've become.
