Exposing Derek Cheung’s systematic scam: Uncovering the Truth

Let’s delve into the dark reality of Derek tactic’s tactics, illegality, and unethical behavior:

  1. Derek lures unsuspecting students with promises of profitable Airbnb units, boasting of his supposed empire making $400,000 a month. However, his promises are built on lies and deceit.
  1. Derek falsely claims to personally vet all units, but it’s his assistant who makes these promises.
  1. The initial sign-up fee of $2.5k grants access to Derek’s course and masterlist. But what awaits inside is far from valuable.

4. Derek markets the masterlist as a meticulously curated selection of Airbnb-ready properties, purportedly vetted by him personally and approved by landlords.

These units are presented as located in profitable and legal Airbnb areas with earning potential of at least 2X the rent, enticing aspiring entrepreneurs with promises of lucrative returns. 

5. Derek’s master list contains units in areas where Airbnb is illegal. Confronted with concerns, victims are pushed to pay tens of thousands more to join Derek’s coaching group. This promises guidance on illegal activities, Victims find themselves forced to pay Derek extra just to list units from the master list they’ve already paid for.

11. After selecting a minimum of three units from the list, Derek assures victims that his team will negotiate with landlords on their behalf. However, victims soon discover that Derek’s team falsely claims to handle the application process, leading to frustration and wasted time. Despite numerous follow-up attempts, victims are often left in the dark, only to be informed of rejection. Even when application papers never provided and filed.  This cycle of false promises, lack of communication, and rejection repeats itself, perpetuating victims’ frustration and disappointment.

12. Victims initially pay $2.5k to access the masterlist of units. However, when they voice concerns about the listed units, Derek’s assistant pressures them to pay an additional $10k upfront. This payment is supposed to grant access to “headhunter units” from Derek’s advanced team, the same team that supposedly earns him $5 million a year. 

13. Despite this hefty payment, victims find themselves referred back to the master list. Even when the promised “headhunter” units are provided, they are often no better than those on the initial list.

14. Students are coerced into using credit cards to pay Derek, promising they’ll recoup the money from the units. Instead, they’re left drowning in debt, with ruined credit scores and shattered dreams.

16. Victims additionally blocked from Derek’s Discord group when voicing concerns, preventing them from sharing their experiences.

17. When customers call out Derek for breaching their contract, they’re kicked out of his Discord group, blocked on social media them and email.

18. The only way to elicit a response from Derek is to publicly comment on his posts, which often angers him.
