TikToker Dean Withers Faces Backlash After Viral Video Exposes Fake Online University
A 2022 video of TikToker Dean Withers promoting his online university “E-Rich Lifestyle” has gone viral, leading to accusations of a scam as users call out his misleading claims.
BollywoodFever: On October 7, a video from 2022 of TikToker Dean Withers went viral on X, accumulating over one million views. Withers, who has nearly one million TikTok followers, was seen boasting about his lavish lifestyle and promoting his online university, “E-Rich Lifestyle.”
In the video, Withers brags about flying on a private jet with $1 million in cash, taunting viewers to question what they are doing with their lives while he lives his dream. He then encourages viewers to “learn and grow from their ridicule,” after receiving immediate negative feedback on the video. Withers pivots to promoting his online university, promising to teach advanced cryptocurrency trading, influencer management, and online revenue strategies to help others achieve the same wealth he claimed to possess.
As the video gained traction, many people began scrutinizing his online university and quickly labeled it a “scam.” Withers had run his university primarily through TikTok and Telegram, claiming to offer exclusive mentorship and e-commerce strategies. He also sold an e-book for $250, claiming it was the result of $8,750 spent on research and development.
However, Withers has since admitted that much of the program was a marketing ploy. He revealed that the supposed high-level structure modeled after Hustler’s University was a failed strategy, stating, “The Andrew [Tate] sh*t was just a failed marketing ploy I used for a few months.” Although Withers now claims to offer legitimate web development and CMS lessons, viewers remain skeptical.
Social media users have called out Withers for his misleading claims, with one person commenting, “‘Your ego is the problem’ is hilarious,” and another writing, “This is f**king insane lmao.”
This isn’t the only recent scam controversy circulating on social media, as Twitch star Pokimane also shared her experience of being “scammed” by a celebrity stylist and salon.
