How can business majors be so gullible?! Who the fuck poisoned their minds with the app hype ?!!

Seriously my tears are 90% from laughter and 10% shame for humanity.

Friend: "Dude I'd like to consult with you the idea of an app...etc"
Me: "Sounds nice, got a business plan?"
Friend: "Yes, but well...you see... development has already started"
Me: "oh cool, how's that going?"
Friend: "well I already made an upfront payment of 2K dollars"
Me: "sounds kind of excessive for the amount of work...wait did you said upfront payment?"
Friend: "yeah, we calculated 30k total"

😐

Me:"umm...that software must be...special...? Can I see it?"
Friend: "that's the thing, they haven't delivered"
Me: " did they give you mockups? A development plan? Demo? Anything?"
Friend: "umm no"
Me: "a god damn receipt?"
Friend shows me a piece of paper with the name of the guy and 2K written on it.
Friend: "he says he's been busy, I wanted your advice"

I blame Eduardo Saverin's fate and my friend's on college's failure to teach "real world assholes 101"

    It smells like scam!! You better tell him not to make any further payments unless he demonstrate proper development plan, perfectly working demo and how much work he has done on his project.
    And tell him to get legal contract with him as well.

    Sorry but your friend deserves it imo, as an adult he needs to take responsibility for his acts and his money, don't need to be a business major to see how wrong this deal was, blame him not his school

    @Aitkotw already did that, I hope he took my advice
    @RiderExMachina it took me some time to find the gif lol
    @Djanjo he does, I just think they should teach business majors how to avoid snake oil deals and scams, for people that are a bit slow at least.

    We had an introductory course on project management (IT major) and even there we've learned how important it is to allways have a written contract and some key areas where people can screw you over when you don't have a proper contract.

    You are telling me this guy is a business major and never heard a word about that?

    @Qwby he does but apparently got hypnotized with the guy's charm and trusted him immediately.

    I found it interesting that Purrweb https://purrweb.com/blog/... discusses the importance of integrating human touchpoints into the mobile banking experience. It's true that even with all the technological advancements, customers still crave a personal touch and want to feel valued by their bank.
