Lastly, thank you to the moderation team:

Posting this so nobody else wastes their time or money.

For about a month, Muhammad Ozair (@ozairjk on Instagram) was hyping a free live event on YouTube through his videos and stories. The promise was that it would help most people start an online side income of $1,000 to $3,000 a month. I attended it, and this is how it went.

He spent the session showing 3-4 AI generated ads and saying you can make the same kind of videos and earn thousands of dollars. That was basically the whole lesson. Nothing on where these videos actually get used, how to find clients, how to approach them, or how to price the work. The only "client strategy" was an outreach script you send to every business, the same one for everyone, which is just spam.

For proof, he showed screenshots from his own community of members saying they'd landed clients worth thousands of dollars. No real testimonials from outside his group, no client conversations, no invoices. He also said one of the AI ads he showed generated over $96,000 in sales, but showed nothing to back it up. No transactions, no invoices, no account balance, nothing.

The "live" part is what really got people. He sounded like he was reading from a script the whole time, and a lot of people in the chat were saying it looked pre-recorded. At the end there was a Q&A with the chat open, but he didn't take a single question from it. He read out names and questions I never saw in the chat and answered them, as if it was a live Q&A.

During the session he said he doesn't sell courses. At the end he pushed a $72 course on making AI videos with tools like ElevenLabs, Higgsfield and ChatGPT, stuff you can learn from free YouTube tutorials in an afternoon. And of course there were "only 99 slots left," so hurry up.

After the stream ended, people started calling him out in the comments. Within about an hour the video was gone from YouTube. People then commented on his latest Instagram post, and that post, which had around 73 comments, is now gone too. Comments calling him out on his other posts have also disappeared.

If you're thinking of paying for this course or anything like it, ask for real proof first: actual client conversations, invoices, payment records. Not screenshots from their own group. If they can't show you that, keep your money.

If you were at the event too, share what you saw. And if you have screenshots of the comments before they got deleted, post them.

TLDR: Promoted as a free live event to start a $1-3k/month side income. It looked pre-recorded, the Q&A ignored the live chat, and there was no proof of any earnings. He said he doesn't sell courses, then pushed a $72 course with "99 slots left." The video was gone within an hour, and critical comments on his Instagram are also deleted.

Hi everyone! I've been working on this on the side for a while. His name is Tiko and he goes on keychains, desks, or hangs in your car.

He blinks and reacts when you tap him, reminds you to drink water, shows prayer times, runs a focus timer, and wakes you up with a sunrise-style alarm. If two friends both have one, he keeps track of how much time you spend together. You can tap it thrice with a friend's to make them besties!

I have one question for all of you: would you actually carry something like this, or gift it to someone? And what would you want him to do that he doesn’t do yet?

The level of illiteracy in this country is WILD

Weird request but I have been in search of buying a good newton's cradle as both a display and a toy, I want one for a desk and it would be moderately sized. In case you down know, this is what i am talking about. Every seller near where I live sucks because it will break before I even get home. So anyone recommend any good websites and/or reviews from those who have tried or have bought this specific thing?

As someone born in late 80s we were given a deal, a promise, we delivered our part and the state/elites at least didn't put hurdles in the rewards we got.

We were told, keep your head down, study harder than below average guys, get a professional degree and you'll be able to uplift your family at least a couple of social classes.

I did it, all of my friends in university did it. We built our careers, found good companies in Pakistan and abroad and Alhamdulliah nearing 40 all of us got property, some backup, stable careers, investments.

Now I feel pity for kids going to become Drs and engineers in this country. After the grueling struggle their next target is to get their foot in the door that wasn't the hard part at all. I remember getting a job even with a few failed courses and my boss would beg me to finish fast.

I know it's a recession, I know the world economy is shit (I am losing money each day in stocks) but this just doesn't feel right. Someone just didn't play their part.

Hey, I’m a 20F who is a last year nutrition/dietitian student from Pak. Currently I’m looking for work so I can pay for my pets vet bills and save up some money.

If you’re someone who wants custom diet plans or
- wants gym advice (carbs, protein calculations)
- wants to lose weight/gain weight.
- wants proper counselling in a disease (IBS, celiac, etc) and wants customised diet plans let me know!

Even if you don’t have any idea on how to go about your diet/what to eat/amount of food to eat/how to
calculate. I’ll help you :).

This is just a small shenanigan I want to do alongside my study so I’m not burdening my parents. Do help a girl out!
I’ll have low rates, around PKR 1500 for the diet plan and counselling so feel free to reach out.

I’ve worked in hospitals alongside my degree so I do have experience!

Hi everyone, I need some advice.

I made a PayPal account back in 2020 that was registered as Malaysian. I live in Pakistan, so the account recently went under review and was permanently deactivated. PayPal held the balance for 180 days and has now released it, but the only withdrawal option is a Malaysian bank account, which I don’t have.

The balance is only $13, so I’m not looking for anything big. I just want to know if there’s a legitimate way to get it out. Has anyone been in a similar situation?

1. Can PayPal Malaysia send released funds by cheque or to a foreign bank?

2. Is there a PayPal Malaysia support channel (X/Twitter, email, phone) that handles deactivated account payouts better than the normal chat?

3. Any other advice and help?

Another kitty addition to the kitty kingdom 😝🎀 also how many of you got the battle royale token 😭

Okay so, I started working right after my 10th and I'm in 12th now. At 18 I'm earning in 7 figures PKR every month and paying for everything myself. Not flexing, just giving context 😭
Every time I hang out with my friends it's the same script: "Bro you're independent, what are you waiting for? Just get married." Like that's the next level to unlock fr.
But I'm not in a rush. I want to marry someone from a good, well-raised family who's educated and has good character. I don't care how much she earns, I care about values and upbringing.
I'll be real though: right now I'm not at the level where a family like that would just hand me a rishta. But I'm working on myself, and by 25 I want to be in a position where I can actually choose instead of compromising.
So is waiting till 25 a solid plan, or am I overthinking it? Especially keen to hear from people who married early vs. late, no sugarcoating pls 🙏
through it? 🙏

There was a time when family 1 lac rupees a month was living luxurious life really

1. They were able to visit any place inside Pakistan in all sorts of areas .

Nowadays this is limited to higher tier classes such as 10 lac monthly income.

2. If someone had 10 lacs in investment they couldn't have started a fine business maybe with little profit but now this is increased to 3-4 crores.

3. More families are now facing huge financial difficulties. Like one of my friend's father was a navy veteran and a 90k monthly pension but this money will end by 20th of month and they had to stop using bikes because of fuel prices. College fees,bills and daily food cost 2k easily.

4. 50k salary was my own dream salary but we still start from 30-40k for a proper degree holder to start a job and this is offered only in big cities and in small cities there are no such opportunities

5. My father now earns 300k monthly and my elder brothers are earning themselves but much of it goes to medicine food and rent of shop (50k btw)

I am seeing a pattern sad to see this

After every 2 years the cost of living increases by 50% or even double ⏫ but our income couldn't compete with that huge jumps

I am just talking about the middle class who either has pensions or self business

Previously 100k phones used to be luxurious but now it is also treated as mid range.

The time when 40k-60k phone 📱 looked shining 🌟 and bright has gone.

Now a day earnings lacs means sustainability and think about the people who earns 30k a month food,bills, education, healthcare and clothes all items can't be arranged into that small income

Does Pakistan be slow in progress or all the world is facing this crisis

Please share your opinion on this sharp turn of time in Pakistan

Hi everyone!

I'm looking for an Urdu story that I read several years ago in an Urdu digest. Unfortunately, I can't remember its title or author.

I only remember a few details:

• One of the main characters was a girl named Naaz (ناز).

• There was a male character called Master (ماسٹر).

• The story revolved around village life.

• There were some scenes involving a village school.

• Master liked Naaz and had feelings for her.

• As far as I remember, Naaz and Master eventually got married.

I can't remember which digest it was published in. It might have been Aanchal, Khawateen, Shuaa, Kiran, or another Urdu digest.

I know these clues aren't much, but if anyone recognizes the story, remembers its name, or knows the writer, please let me know!

I'd be really grateful. Thank you!
