35 mins

Episode Description

This is one of the most important episodes we’ve ever recorded.


Off the back of our previous episodes calling out property spruikers, we received an overwhelming amount of feedback and more disturbing stories.


In this bonus episode, we go deep inside the sales tactics used by property spruikers/scams; how they emotionally manipulate investors, and why near-retirees and people with superannuation are their primary target.


We unpack:

  • How fear is used to break people down before selling anything
  • Why off-the-plan property is pushed so aggressively
  • How commissions of $80,000–$90,000 per sale influence advice
  • Why “doing nothing” is used as a weapon
  • The warning signs every investor and their family needs to know


This might not be the episode for everyone, but we want to send out a warning to yourself or those you may know being targeted by unsolicited advice and sales scams. If you know someone aged 45–60 with superannuation who’s been pitched property as a retirement solution ,please share this episode with them.
