Sarah Akwisombe #13 Those meddling wiches on Tattle foiled my coaching scam!

[Winkle]

Late to the party, but this post

The ‘universe threw a detour in to teach her a lesson’… what?

The universe did nothing of the sort my dear. You willingly pulled your knickers down to sleep with another man who wasn’t your husband.

Now I’m no astronomer, but I’d say that has shit all to do with the universe and more of her being a sneaky little cheater.

So the manifesting as an expression of personal power only applies when its something she is proud of - otherwise, she's at the mercy of the universe. Which is it you f**king twit. (im addressing sarah here)

 

[really_whythough]

Does anyone know why Sarah is learning Korean?

She watched Squid Game once. It’s her latest Queen’s Gambit.

 

[NoExit]

Any 'Smashing it / Coven' friends still here? I recall a lot of us were from both communities.

A year on and I'm still triggered by what happened that summer.

1. I'm doing my tax return and I can't believe how much money I handed over to Sarah during a pandemic for no return. I'm so embarrassed to submit my accounts.

2. Anyone else feeling uncomfortable about the 'Coven girl gang class of 2022'?? It's £1300 for the year and there will be 150 people (nice earner). Yes, a 'free' notebook and a keyring… but monthly accountability zooms, no clear syllabus and group motivation feels a bit too Sarah. Even last week on the Coven facebook private page they listed who had been the most active within the group. It reminded me of Llewy and Sarah's trip to 'reward' the active people in Smashing it by delivering that free coaching day.
Can we stop with pitting women against each other already?!

Am I the only one feeling like this?

Jesus defending Travis Scott now

The Travis Scott piggyback attempt got her no traction, so now Sarah Akwisombe is trying with Chris Packham

Last time I checked, Chris Packham had never run a million pound scam on his Blue Peter and nature TV fans, do not really much similarity

Happy new year all! Will 2022 finally be the year Sarah gives up and begs JD Sports for her old job back?!?

 

[really_whythough]

I found her when we were looking to get a mortgage (all sorted thank goodness) and she had her first flat. She poured some sort of resin floor all over the original quarry tiles that were SO integral to the fabric of the period building.

Obviously it’s a taste thing and it’s your flat, so do what you like with it but the attitude of just ‘who cares about this thing with period charm, I’m going to throw plastic down and destroy it forever because of my bouncy modern aesthetic’ had me aghast.

Turns out she takes that approach in other areas of her life, deleting, denying, taking what she wants f the consequences, buying modern plastic shit and barely paying occasional lip service to sustainability ‘or whatever’.

As for thread title, not my forte but…

Sarah Akwisombe #14 It’s not that deep ™️, she’s lost all her sheep, had to shut her business cos she f’d with a creep.

Probably too sweary but at least it rhymes!

 

[Antonina]

Maybe they wouldn’t be struggling so much if they didn’t throw away hundreds of pounds for Google advice from someone with a very poor track record

Recap….

UK blogger/influencer Sarah Akwisombe has recently been the focal point of a major controversy involving unethical selling of courses to the female SME sector, failed service delivery, false claims around revenues and results, and refusal to refund over £200k to clients affected by non-delivery of service.

Naturally, this has considerable potential to negatively impact the reputation of organisations she is working with (and has worked with previously), resulting in several already taking steps to distance themselves.

A brief summary of key events is below, followed by links to the national and international media coverage of the fallout from the situation:

- Sarah Akwisombe she was going to make a million pounds in lockdown and show everyone how she did it
- At the same time, launched multiple new group coaching courses as well as 1-2-1 coaching services
- Service levels for both group coaching/courses and private clients fall short after 4 months. People are unhappy
- Late September saw Sarah share a video saying she had "made a million".
- Days later, Sarah posts a video saying she had let everyone down, the service was poor, remaining months on the courses were cancelled
- Transpired the million pounds included forward booked business, so approximate splits were £600k banked, £400k forward booked and not yet billable
- Sarah Akwisombe deleted multiple social posts and videos as clients started to demand refunds
- Sarah starts blocking anyone who questions her
- Some people have been able to reclaim refunds from their banks, which is good news, many others still fighting. Sarah claims £75k refunded. At least £200k of refund claims currently being fought for by clients.

Video clip where Sarah Akwisombe says all that matters was getting money in, never mind about servicing the business


Akwisombe and her attempted use of Caroline Flack's anniversary, resultant fallout and revelations from victims
15/02/21 saw Sarah Akwisombe face a huge social media backlash, as well as massive outrage on multiple Tattle threads, after she attempted to leverage the anniversary of Caroline Flack's suicide to deflect attention from herself, likening the threads and social media communities of her victims (who were sharing knowledge and supporting each other in legal claims for refused refunds) to the tabloid press in the Flack case, before going on a second attack, calling users of Tattle "dutty human beings":

@thereporter not sure If I have done this right?

She’s such a spin doctor! If she didn’t get caught, she would have continued with Llewy’s secret sauce injections

Video clip where Sarah Akwisombe says all that matters was getting money in, never mind about servicing the business

 

[frozenwasteland]

"Loved" Sarah's little "let's mourn past Sarah for a sec, and then never speak of her again"-bit. That's literally like opening up to an abusive parent, trying to have a healing conversation in a very vulnerable state, only to have them go "yeah, I fucked up a bit, but you have to put that behind you now". It's dismissive, it doesn't take accountability for the shit you pulled, and you're more or less blaming the victim for being heartbroken in the aftermath, while also quite plainly stating that you have zero respect for them as a human being and you don't give a shit about what you did.

Sarah, it's still not enough. You're pussyfooting around the real issue: you rinsed people in vulnerable positions because you wanted that million. And nothing was going to stand in your way. You want to be a business owner, but you also want to not have to do the work. That doesn't work out well; not for you, or your customers. You've admitted to having done the bare minimum, and you have admitted to still wanting to do the bare minimum but still make loads of money. Your customer service is shit. You hound people who haven't paid on time, but you refuse to refund the people you stole from. The double-standard is disgusting, and the fact that you sleep at night is mind-boggling.

Generally I'm not necessarily the biggest fan of "making an example of people", just like I'm not the biggest fan of "cancel culture" because both can do more harm than good - oftentimes. However, I have to agree with @Hunsgraveyard here and say that Sarah does indeed need to made an example of because this scamming bullshit, not just from her but other business owners too, needs to fucking stop. Talk about wanting to be "high vibe"? What the fuck is so high vibe about contributing to greed, corruption and crime? No. Just fucking no.

 

[Winkle]

On a more positive note, I’m about to genuinely have my first ever 10k month, I’m a self employed creative (who actually does something, not just copies other people’s designs and gets tat produced Sarah) and I’m really proud of myself for working hard and sticking it out!

I was exactly the kind of person engaged with her pro-business female focused content. Luckily I didn’t choose to ‘invest’ in her high price, low delivery courses with Llewy (although I considered it, I was newly grieving and had no work on and obviously the pandemic turmoil made everyone so vulnerable). I served my clients excellently, however difficult my personal life. If I got something wrong, I put it right, at my own cost. I have a thriving business to show for it.

Quite a different picture to Sarah Akwisombe who has the audacity to charge people for ‘business guidance’.

I’m so glad I used her as a cautionary tale rather than an inspiration!

this is just so good to hear - absolutely so inspiring to hear you have reached that point through graft and providing a valuable service, rather than swindling. The audacity of Sarah Akwisombe to think she had something to offer you.


Im on the verge of starting my own business, which ive been putting off due to fear of failure and extreme fear of putting myself out there. But however things go, I know I won't end up scamming people. and If Sarah can show her face on socials after her behaviour, why am I reluctant - she's been a great teacher in her own way

 

[Winkle]

This is actually unhinged. The fact that she thinks people or just one person give that much of a toss about her. It’s the people she harms and rips off that we think about. Also using those meme face things tells me she spends waaaaay too much time online. Honestly think she’s lost it.

Narcissism innit

Sarah Akwisombe: from Summer Of Scam to Winter Of Jenny, you did this to yourself Henny

 

[porterhouseblue]

The part about creativity: a thousand times yes. That’s the best way I’ve ever seen anyone put it. And, it’s true for just about everything else as well. Sarah just decided to skip that part, and dive head first into «I’m the expert here because I watched a few videos on YouTube and read a book or two»-mode.

As a creative myself, seeing other people having their work ripped off irks me to the core! Hasn’t happened to me - yet - thankfully, but it sure as shit could. It’s plain-ass disrespectful, disgusting and despicable.

She scours instagram and steals people's ideas and then she passes off the work as her own. I've watched her do this many times over the years and laugh about it. Ironically she spends a lot of time complaining about others who do the same. A truly dark twisted narcissit. She needs help urgently

 

[frozenwasteland]

Sarah in her latest stories, paraphrased: I want to start up a podcast again, I used to have a GREAT podcast, people LOVED it (ok sis, whatever you say), what would you like to hear about from me?

Us: How about you talk about how badly you fucked up last year by stealing money from people who were struggling and thought they were going to experience a slingshot into success when all you did was sell Google-advice at a ridiculous price, and then proceeded to gaslight, manipulate, victim-blame and bully anyone who dared question you into silence, and that's still a strategy you heavily rely on? Oh, and the fact that you're still not refunding EVERYONE you stole from, AND apologizing for the shit you pulled....

 

[Betterthedevil]

Here we go again...

 

[porterhouseblue]

I am absolutely disgusted that Sarah and Jason Akwismbe are still holding on to that money they stole.

And it looks as thought they're getting back into business to exploit vulnerable women.

I'm going to be gathering signatures to request Sarah Akwisombe is banned from Instagram.

Also for any of her victims re the coaching scam pls be in contact as I would like to help with a class action lawsuit.

I'm sure some of you have signed NDA'S and legal agreements to conditions to refunds etc.

This can be presented as part of the suit and can be scrutinised if they where forced on to you under duress.

Be brave. If you want a fairer world where predatory narcissistic people like Sarah Akwisombe have to be held accountable.

STAND UP FOR YOURSELF

 

[Hunsgraveyard]

Sarah on IG talking about creating a 10-step guide to surviving scandal/being cancelled, thinking she survived, pretending like she’s not just now beginning to feel the long-term effects of her actions and is essentially beginning to drown slowly and painfully

Honey, you’re still cancelled. You survived nothing. Refund fully and apologize and you might.

^^This x1000

Sarah Akwisombe categorically has not "survived". Let's look at the proven evidence:

- Brand partnerships including O2, Voi, Barbour and more have all fallen through after they found out about her scam (and she's complained about this so unequivocal evidence of this).
- She has had to close down NBBS, her primary income stream after the scandal. She talks shout this on her IG Stories entitled "women sad business". Sarah - don't bother trying to delete it, because if you do, we'll just post up Undelete links to it instead
- The BBC had to re-edit a podcast she had weasled her way onto, once they found out about the scale of the scam. Frankie Cotton of WOTPOD shared all the details of this and her excellent work behind the scenes getting Sarah cut from it.
- 16(!) media pieces about her scam from both specialist and mainstream media. Not one retraction, correction or addendum at any stage. What does that tell you?
- As we have seen from posters on here, people connected to her personally are creating distance.
- A distinctive name that as soon as you search it, brings up all the coverage of her scams
- An agency meeting where she was in line to pick up a major campaign but a Google search of her name by someone there led to an embarrassing situation, the loss of the campaign and likely so much embarrassment for the agency that she's now shadow blacklisted.
- Continual loss of audience since the scam was unveiled.

So no, doesn't sound for a moment like Sarah Akwisombe has survived being cancelled. It's all lies as per usual with her, and the evidence speaks for itself.

Sarah Akwisombe needs to cone to terms with the fact that no, this is never going away until she refunds every single person and apologises, then demonstrates she isn't a narcissist who only cares about easy money over clients, family and standard human decency.

 

[Hunsgraveyard]

But it is the dishonesty of the post that got me, it was 'the universe out to get us' rather than my infidelity.
Leaving aside the utter crassness of using your marriage failing as a way to garner content

You're so right. No Sarah, the universe didn't trick you. You jumped in bed with a conman literally and figuratively. Just partnering with him to steal money in a pandemic wasn't enough, you wanted your cake and to eat it too, having an affair with him that only stopped because you got caught.

And as many have said over the last 15 months, all this could have been a distant memory by now if she'd just refunded, apologised and taken some time out to sort herself out & rebuild her reputation.

 

[Antonina]

What’s really worrying is that after everything that happened she will only be able to attract vulnerable women. No one with an inch of business sense will touch her with a barge pole. I feel sorry for those who will part with their money only to get half arsed advice that it’s freely available on google

 

[skronkywildcat]

She’s spiralling.

And no, not everyone would have done it because we checked Llewy out and found all his previous pyramid scams in about 5 seconds.
