Thanks for writing this article. I too am a victim of this scam too. All of Victors products are rip offs of You Tube videos or other creators work.

Dear Erik,if you personally have any negative experience with OnClick Academy it doesn't mean that is scam! I'm user of this platform for a long time and I never seen any scam or mistake from Victor Bastos.
Please check one of the best YouTube channel "Traversy Media" and you can see there many authors and not only Brad Traversy who is the Owner.

The absolute worst part of the scam is that when you sign up for any one thing, he adds you to what must be a billion mailing lists - you unsubscribe from one, then the next week you start getting emails from another. I've been unsubscribing from his mailing lists for months now.

Hi P1xt, most of our tutorials/courses are from youtube through partnerships (this is clearly mentioned on our disclaimer about page). But we also have our own courses such as HTML/CSS, JavaScript, PHP/MySQL and others that are also available on Udemy under my name with good reviews. Check here: udemy.com/user/victorbastos3/

Access to these courses are completely FREE at onclickacademy.com/. If you have any complaints about other past products please contact us at support@onclickacademy.com OR victorcruzbastos@gmail.com and I'll be glad to help you.

How does any of that pertain to the comment you replied to?

I still get spam email from you - a year and a half after I wrote that comment. And, now, you're spamming my replies on this site with marketing links to get more people to sign up for your shitty site.

And, none of that changes the fact that what I wrote in my original post was 100% the truth about my experience. I had to file a complaint with PayPal to keep you from just taking my money and giving me nothing.

If anyone is reading this, a year and a half after the fact, take special note that Victor is all about the canned marketing messages - he cut and paste this one at least three times today. But, he doesn't actually read and communicate. If he did, his first response to my complaint that it's impossible to get him to stop emailing me shit would not have been (paraphrased) "I am awesome, here's some links to where you can get my courses."

I'm sorry you had problems and feel that way about my past products or services. I'm here to help you if you need any help. Regarding the spam or emails you get, me and my team are currently creating campaigns ONLY through "Get Response", so if you already unsubscribed you will not get any more emails. If you're still getting emails from "Victor Bastos" or "Onclick Acadmy" after you unsubscribed, please do report them because they are not mine.

Hi, I'm really sorry for the bad experience you had in the past with OnClick Academy. The first thing I can tell you is that we are not a scam, we are a team of people working really hard to provide the best learning experience to all our students. Please let me know how can we fix this, have you received a refund for this? we can also provide you a new access to the Freelancing Course Program that you mentioned which is now available at our school (onclickacademycourses.com/). Best Regards.
