Stay informed about the ongoing situation and learn how to protect yourself from falling victim to similar scams.' taxonomy: category: - 'Web Development' tag: - Scam - News - Learning --- # OnClick Pro Academy \[Scam\] Updates Published on February 28, 2023 by Tracy Ridge in [Web Development](https://www.worldoweb.co.uk/category/category:Web%20Development) Have you been a victim of Platform X, OnClick Pro, formally Academy? Before Christmas 2022, I published a post about a promising company using poor tactics to scam people out of money. In my conclusion, I believed that this company would start its shady tricks once more, and it has happened. This post will contain any updates on the situation. In the meantime, if you have any concerns please get in touch. Please don’t become another victim! If you are interested in this story please check out the [full introduction](https://www.worldoweb.co.uk/2022/the-fall-of-onclick-academy) to how OnClick Pro has acted before these updates. For your information, this is not a witch hunt. **Victor** has had many opportunities to reply to the chain of emails he started. He has chosen not to and has not apologised for taking any money from his customers during the time it was called OnClick Academy. Victor is known as a [Grifter](https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/grifter). I highly recommend that you make your decision wisely and not purchase anything from the platform. I will keep posting updates as I get them. ![Warning sign for safety. OnClick Pro Scam](https://www.worldoweb.co.uk/user/data/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/czNmcy1wcml2YXRlL3Jhd3BpeGVsX2ltYWdlcy93ZWJzaXRlX2NvbnRlbnQvbHIvZmwxOTkxNDM4NjIzMC1pbWFnZS1reWJlbHQ3dS5qcGc-scaled.jpg)Image courtesy of OpenVerse ## Latest OnClick Pro Updates He has changed OnClick Pro to **Platform X**. He is still selling the same items with only 1 purchase available. Buy it and he will be selling it again tomorrow! I can guarantee. The detail on the **26th of March** is evidence enough to suggest that Victor is a **grifter**. He is aware of all the negative press and is starting to get more desperate, hence the sudden name change! ## Are you a Victim? In April I received an incoming email from another person who has fallen victim to this scam. He is looking into legal proceedings in the US and Europe. If you are a victim in the United States you can log a complaint with the [FTC](https://reportfraud.ftc.gov/#/?target=_blank&rel=nofollow). Victims in Europe can report it to [OLAF](https://fns.olaf.europa.eu/). There is an opportunity to collate a list of users affected to substantiate further any claims made to the FTC or OLAF. Feel free to contact me if you would like to know more. He is now using the Wise platform to ask for money. **Please do not give him any!** ### Latest Updates **August 2023** **OnClick is under new management** so I will cease updates on them. However Victor Bastos, the previous owner, continues to spam all the mailing list contacts gathered. **July 2023** So far in July, I have received 7 emails from Web Labs, OnClick and Victor himself. They are offering the same deals as in the previous months with Lifetime access to Udemy courses as well. Alarmingly one of the emails asks the user to pay via Western Union with a YouTube video howto. **Red flag anyone?** ## Older Updates **29th December 2022 & 12th January 2023** Received an email saying that OnClick Pro will be online soon. **19th January** Received multiple emails saying that after 2 months offline the site is now live.

On checking this deal out you can get the following for $299. A business site, job board, online school, store, marketing, unlimited clients, traffic and sales conversion with a saving of $9,600.

This is available to only 10 students. **21st January** Received an email saying that the Udemy Business account is legit after people contacted them to find out.

On the 8th May, he advertised it as free again. **June 2023** In June I received 7 emails with prices varying from $69-$29. Some of the emails were from Web Labs and one came from OnClick App. ### Share [X](https://x.com/intent/tweet?text=OnClick%20Pro%20Academy%20%5BScam%5D%20Updates&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.worldoweb.co.uk%2F2023%2Fonclick-pro-academy-scam-updates&via=worldoweb "Share on X") [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.worldoweb.co.uk%2F2023%2Fonclick-pro-academy-scam-updates "Share on Facebook") [Reddit](https://www.reddit.com/submit?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.worldoweb.co.uk%2F2023%2Fonclick-pro-academy-scam-updates&title=OnClick%20Pro%20Academy%20%5BScam%5D%20Updates "Share on Reddit") [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/sharing/share-offsite/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.worldoweb.co.uk%2F2023%2Fonclick-pro-academy-scam-updates "Share on LinkedIn") [Bluesky](https://bsky.app/intent/compose?text=OnClick%20Pro%20Academy%20%5BScam%5D%20Updates%20https%3A%2F%2Fwww.worldoweb.co.uk%2F2023%2Fonclick-pro-academy-scam-updates "Share on Bluesky") [Email](mailto:?subject=OnClick%20Pro%20Academy%20%5BScam%5D%20Updates&body=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.worldoweb.co.uk%2F2023%2Fonclick-pro-academy-scam-updates "Share via email") #### Tags [ Scam](https://www.worldoweb.co.uk/tag/tag:Scam) [ News](https://www.worldoweb.co.uk/tag/tag:News) [ Learning](https://www.worldoweb.co.uk/tag/tag:Learning) ##### Next [ ← Hot New Web Dev - March 2023 ](https://www.worldoweb.co.uk/2023/hot-new-web-dev-march-2023) OR ##### Previous [ Hot New Web Dev - February 2023 → ](https://www.worldoweb.co.uk/2023/hot-new-web-dev-february-2023) --- ## Navigation - Previous: [Hot New Web Dev - March 2023](https://www.worldoweb.co.uk/2023/hot-new-web-dev-march-2023.md) - Next: [Hot New Web Dev - February 2023](https://www.worldoweb.co.uk/2023/hot-new-web-dev-february-2023.md)
