Misunderstood || a Cayde/Ikora Angst

First off, before we start this, why don't ya vote it up on Wattpad first? https://my.w.tt/iO9GrLri80

(Words: Approximately 3,000)

Psst-- you can skip the summary if you need to ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Summary: The Hunter misunderstood many things in his life, he misunderstood the intentions of the vanguard's tactics and values, the way he would be the most eager to leave this hell, but instead they'd send the Titan who would much rather guard his lion den. Most times his partners were astray from him, Zavala talked too much about his Titans, but was pretty average.

But then there was Ikora, her eyes were cold and deadbeat, like a deep lavender color with a grey undertone, they used to be alive, but they were aged. She was cold to him now it's like her quick glances were glares that punctured his confidence, and even the littlest noises she'd make at his failures would kill him on the inside. It was as if she had this power that crumbled people's spirits.

In her defense, she never knew she was this cold, she was merely being was she was told to be. A strong poised warlock, who needed to keep her eyes on her sworn duty. But in other's eyes she was just another scary leader, the mentor people whispered about behind her back. Then at the same time, she knew about this, and she shamed herself for it, compared herself to a monster. She couldn't stand herself for of it. She knew she wasn't taught all too well, especially when it all came from a Warlock with an ego.

This is just a single one shot about two Vanguards, two Stories, but the same problems.

———

About a decade ago, he was made hunter vanguard, but even today, he never knew his purpose, he couldn't take anything along the lines of work seriously, no missions were matched for him, and he watched as his partners, Zavala and Ikora shred through hundreds of thousands of monsters.

While he was merely on the outside. He hated being trapped in here, he wished that once in a while he could join, but the request was ignored.

He was degraded and selfish, he knew Zavala thought so. But Ikora definitely did.

He knew because of the way Ikora would glare at him, and tear him down with a gaze that was truly cold. By emotionally manipulating him with her scoffs at his every foolish movement, and imprisoning him with her utter silence. The only times she'd actually spoken to him it was on dispatch details, and boring vanguard discussions.

He was merely a waste of space and time in their eyes.

No. Half of that wasn't true.

Infact it was one-sided love, Ikora was quite fond of him.

Ikora was a close inspector, so she couldn't help but pay attention to Cayde's subtle expressions, it was like a sixth sense that allowed her to read his body language like a book, the way his feet consistentantly tapped on the ground, and the way his fingers pulsed around his knife, aching to leave this damned place.

Ikora, she adored him, truly adored him, through the glares and the stoic expressions, and the parts of her that would look and scoff, there was another part of her that wanted to smile and laugh with him, she was a lovesick warlock who wrestled with the lovelorn hunter.

She never knew how to communicate her true feelings after Osiris changed her, turned her into a warlock with the mentality of steel, but that rubbed off on her. She was locked up and stuck with lips that never twitched from it's perfect straight line, and eyes so cold, they gave victims of her stare self consciousness. Her dull amethyst eyes were emotionless, and she'd never known. Often, she stood there in confusion, as her eyes would trail to a group of guardians, only for them to meet her eyes, and immediately part ways.

They were scared of being scolded. They'd never get scolded. Not for speaking and discussing mission details.

The kids would laugh and play, one kid will kick the ball too far, and it'd roll over and hit the balls of her feet. She listens as from behind her, a child would muster an, "Excuse me ma'am..." The warlock vanguard turns around, and picks the ball up, making her way over to the children. She would try to give a smile, bit her lips only twitched slightly, and she didn't smile, so she watched in a stoic manner as the children would stare into her nulled mulberry eyes, frozen in fear as they snatch the ball and run the other way.

At home, she sat and thought about it in her comfortable little arm chair, her elbows propped on the sides, and her fingers grazing her chin in thought. It wasn't long before she cracked, and a whimper sounded from the silent room, her lips quivered and tears danced it's way down her cheek, when she first shed a tear, it was in melancholy, because it was the day she realized even the children feared her eyes. She sobbed at that thought, infact she sobbed so hard she gasped for air. She was embarrassed of herself, she cried like a little girl who'd been hit, or one who saw the warlock vanguard; a monster. And she was a monster.

The aftermath of her sobfest, was her laid half conscious on the floor, drawing deep breaths. Tired and exhausted from the tears that non-stop dribbled down her face.

But after a brief moment of bathing in her thoughts, she smiled, then chuckled, chuckled dryly until her puffy eyes were allowing more tears to drop from her cheeks.

It's so funny.

It's funny that on that day, she realized there was still a heart lurking in there somewhere, only because she cried, she was vulnerable, a weight was lifted off of her shoulders.

~~~

Cayde was sorting out little maps, holding his head in frustration, clenching his teeth and scribbling wildly on the digital maps displayed on tablets, piled high on the desk where certain loot caches hid.

"Cayde." He heard a deep and smooth voice call his name, as she trailed herself around the little long table, he jumped, and looked up to face the speaker, there stood Ikora, who called his name without looking.

"Is there something wrong?" She asked mono-toned, and her eyes trail up to his face. There was that look in her eyes again, that look that would kill, and it was not a compliment, they killed his spirits.

"Oh, it's nothin'. Just not feeling too well today, y'know?" He simply states, and watches as her brows twitch, and she nods before she's consumed by her books once again.

Ten years he'd stayed cooped up in the tower like this, and Ikora never changed, he remembered when she was younger, more honest and true to her words, her pure anger that seemed to be less intimidating than now day's calm and conserved personality to him was quite ridiculous, hell, he remembered he even crushed hard on her.

But, Those days were over and done with.

And he missed it. He thought that sooner or later, that stoic attitude would change. That she would become more comfortable and her demeanour would change. It never did. He hated it. Just as much as he now hated her.

Quickly, he realized the thought that scavenged in his head, he didn't know what was up with him as soon as he'd thought that. He frowned to himself, and traced a gaze up to her face. Hate? Hate was a strong word. "Is there something on my face?" She spoke, eyes still fixed on her book, It took no longer than a second for the Warlock to notice his eyes locked on her face.

"No."

"Then, please, stop staring." A sigh left his lips, and he pulled away from the table.

"I'm going to go take a breather." He sighs, before leaving the little hall, when he got out of the little disclosed place, he made his way to the speakers study, where a little vent to his favorite place lied.

The hunter crawled through piles of faction crates, shaders, silver, and books before he was greeted by the little slitted vents. Quietly, he removes it from the front of the little crawl space supposedly on the other side, and propped himself on his elbows and knees.

As the vanguard slithered his body through the gap that barely provided room, his eyes scanned over the many empty custodial rooms, that, soon he began to pass by, most of them not being his private spaces.

Finally, he looked down to greet the warm coffee colored room he was most accustomed with, a purple carpet he rolled out himself, a couch, which already existed before he found the room alongside the desk filled with ramen crates, and little ace cards.

He swiftly plucked the broken screws off one by one, before shoving the vent off, his face scrunched up as the vent so loudly hit the hardwood floor that hadn't been covered by the carpet. He guaranteed he'd be caught at some point, but for now, he was safe.

His eyes scanned the room proudly, eyes glazing over the rest of the furniture and decor in the room, maps were pinned up by tacks, prototypes for his class gear laid scattered for modification, his delicate dishes and relics placed inside the conveniently sized sink, he fished his pot from the water, in which he'd already washed, and filled it with water.

Calmly, he moved to place his little pot of water on the makeshift stove top to boil up instant noodles. And then plopped himself onto the couch.

He sat in silence, in that moment took the time to ponder, ponder about the life he didn't so happily live.

"Hm." A noise came from the darker corner of the room, a hum of examination. God dammit! could he ever get some peace?

He whipped his heard around, raising an eyebrow, and the person he wanted to escape from happened to be there. "What are you doing here? Shoo!" He waved her away, but neither did the Warlock's expression or body falter.

Cayde stood up, and Ikora stepped forward. Taking this as a chance to speak to him privately, "You've been off lately. And I've taken a notice that it seems you loathe me. Could we take some time and discuss it?" Ikora calmly asks.

"Okay, I have a reason, so you better listen, and real closely as well. Honestly, there's something wrong with you, and Zavala, or the vanguard as a whole, it feels like the damned system is corrupted. You look at me like I don't belong here. As if I'm lower than you, then there's Zavala who quietly suspects me for half of the things I do. Also have you understood how long I've been wanting to leave this tower? They let the both of you leave, but not me?" He spat, watching as she recoiled at the sudden bitterness in his tone.

What? No. None of that was true, she'd never think of him that way, he was helpful, a kind old soul, with exceptional humor. Zavala thought so as well, the vanguard wasn't a corrupt system, the tower was only afraid of losing their next hunter vanguard so early.

"I think you've misunder-"

"You think I misunderstood? How the hell are you going to explain the glares, it feels like they throw me into my place, a low class hunter," He scoffs, "Gosh, I wish a was a low class hunter, so I could get the hell out of this joint. Then there's the murmuring sounds of disappointment and your dissatisfaction, even if I just make the littlest mistake, your eyes are following me. Swearing at me. Then there's Zavala asking me all of these questions, and boring his eyes into the little horn in the center of my head."

"And you think I've misunderstood?" Cayde finishes off, before muttering under his breath "Asshole." That broke her, again, she didn't know why, but all of her bottled up emotions, hidden by a hallowed facade poured out.

She slid down to her knees, at first her fingers curled around the arm of his sofa, covering her eyes and rubbing away the little tears that threatened to roll down.

That's when Cayde began to inch for the door, but he stopped when he heard a hic. His head turned slightly, and he watched as the warlock slowly crumbled. Eventually her hiccups turned into cries, which faded into sobs, obnoxious sobs until she couldn't breathe, until they were low throaty ones, and she hadn't realized.

At first he thought he made her cry, and slowly, he felt guilt climbing up his back.

But then he remembered that the Warlock Vanguard was never this weak.

He watched with a frown as her shoulders sank, and her body folded, until she was fully pressed to the floor, and the rest of what she could breathe out were hacks up to the point she gasped for more air. She felt like an idiot, this was probably the most vulnerable anyone had seen her, by a long shot.

She watched as Cayde's head turned to her, staring, awkward and stiff, before it whirled back around, slowly. Then he left the room in a hesitant manner.

He felt weird, not being able to withstand the sudden burst of tears. So he removed himself. He left through the door that was unlocked through the inside.

Cayde stumbled out of the door and closed it, expecting for her sobs to be purged by the closed doors, but it wasn't, he cringed at Ikora's loud cries out that echoed through the dead hallway, like a horror movie, he watched as rats scurried about the hall under the dim spotlights, as cob webs decorated the walls in a disgusting way.

What ever was the matter with her, he wanted her to feel his pain. Being left alone to sob and so she could attempt to untangle herself.

He knew Ikora couldn't keep her composure, she probably never experienced real emotion like this. But that thought cleared when her gasps for air died down, he turned to the door down the hall in confusion, he paused. Nothing. That gave him goosebumps.

He never knew that the both of them dealt with the same issues from the start. Misunderstood, judged, feared. When he was greeted by the familiar lights of the Speaker's study or grand door that lied before the Speaker's study, he pushed open the large doors to finally enter the right wing of the tower, that's when he took a left and climbed up the stairs, trailing past the little patches of grass on the floor near the landing zone, his feet trailed down the steps, and stopped just before the grand table.

He noticed the way Zavala's eyes trailed up to him, his look displaying confusion. "Where is Ikora?" He questioned raising an catapillar size eyebrow.

He left it off with a shrug, before approaching the table. Out of the corner of his eye, he watched as Zavala eyed him.

Zavala eyed him the whole time he leaned over, resting his elbows on the table to finally finish each coordinate.

And as he carefully marked up the papers, for what'd almost been thirty minutes. "Cayde, are you sure you don't know where she is...?" Zavala finally said with high suspicions, after staring at him, and mentally interrogating him.

Cayde drew a sigh, his pencil darting across the papers, one side, to the other. Finally, dropping the pencil, he looked up. "I might know." He spoke those three words only, before turning around, and leaving the hallway, Zavala's mouth opened, as if he were about to say something, but he stayed quiet, assuming that was just Cayde saying he'd check.

Cayde, finally ascended the stairs, inhaling the fresh air. And made his way to the location he only left 30 minutes ago.

Ikora propped herself on the chair, covering her face, rubbing her puffy eyes, she inhaled the bitter smell of smoke that blanketed the air, the water in his pot completely boiled dry and evaporated, and the pot was on the verge of being damaged.

The stench was giving her a headache, but she sat idle, eyes shielded, and her lips quivering. She needed the moment of silence, but that ended when she heard the clattering in the vents, she removed her arms from her face, lips straightening, and her eyes absent of tears.

It was as if she wasn't sulking the 2 seconds before she'd transitioned. There was a thump on the ground, and she felt a pair of eyes on her through the foggy smoke.

She sat quietly and idle, "Ikora." A familiar robotic voice called. He couldn't help but cough, as he grabbed the pot and placed it outside the little door, his systems rendering to filter the air.

"Ikora... There's something wrong with me and-"

"There is something wrong with me as well." She carefully spoke, her silhouette was carefully carved through the fog of the smoke that remained as she kept her composure. "Everything before Osiris, were lighter times. Now, I wouldn't like to speak badly of him, but he made me feel I was flawed."

She bit her lip, remembering the time that Osiris told her everything, she was cursed with his knowledge, she was told to stand up straight and never falter, to know her place, and use her mind. On top of that, never smile.

So she did follow, precariously infact; uncertain of how to do so. And she became a mess. She earned respect only because they feared her power.

But when Osiris had done the same, there were ecstatic followers behind him.

"I changed for my own good. But now that I wish to change back, I can't. I'm stuck, I truly couldn't smile without crying first." She continued, and he stared into her dead eyes, that was still cloaked by the smoke, and bloodshot red from the chemicals that bounced along the walls, but her irises were a deep forest of violet, with an undertone of grey.

His eyes rendered and adjusted, noticing how they were coated with tears. "Listen, I lugged through these halls with the mindset that everyone hated me. But mostly you." He sighed, hands holding his face in his hands.

"I thought the feeling was mutual. Well, given the fact your eyes never ceased to change." Then he finally looked at her, eyeing her quivering lips, "But the point is, I'm not okay."

Her arms rose to curl her fingers around his wrist. "I'm not okay either." She whispered, her hand was positioned so that her thumb stroked the palm of his hands, gloved with rough material.

She leans her head on his shoulder, noticing the way his shoulders more prominently rise and fall at their contact.

"Ikora..?" Cayde calls to her, her head rises from his shoulder. A gentle hum in acknowledgement slices the air as her head turns to him. "Forgive me for this..." He speaks low, and suddenly her lips are pressed against his plates, and her body is pushed up against his chest.

It was a kiss to reassure her, his eyes were wide open, as were hers, before she discovered the way his hands traced circles on her back, and both their eyes shut, she tasted the salt on her lips, and she then noticed her eyes were leaking with tears.

The fog that coated the air added much more tension. Soon, Ikora paid attention to how his body began to dominate hers, his unoccupied fingers tracing up to her thighs and massaging them, so she believed it was best to pull away, so they wouldn't be carried away, but even after that, she was unable to bring herself to look him in the eyes.

She clears her throat, fists braced on the couch to push herself from under him, her posture straightens, "Thank you for talking to you about this." She carefully speaks, Cayde nodded before saying,

"Y'know, I misunderstood this...."

"No you didn-"

"Yes I did. All of it. Your intentions, Zavala's intentions, I was so caught on the theory that the both of you were trying to isolate me.." Cayde spoke softly, "But it was the other way around."

"So you weren't speaking on the kissing?" Ikora asks slowly. Cayde quickly shakes his head.

"Unless I did... Misunderstand..." His voice trails off.

"No... No you didn't."

Alex Becker – Lazy Scumbag who steals money

You’ve probably heard of Alex Becker, or watched one of his YouTube ads or seen someone talking about this guy. He is a digital entrepreneur (sort of) and a scam artist who creates useless products and manipulates others to buy them. He uses flashy products and spends heavily on paid ads to attract potential customers. He has released a ton of information products, which contain zero or little value, and he has made a fortune through these rubbish products. His company is stealing money from unsuspecting people who are looking for real information from a genuine expert. My experience with Alex and his products has been pathetic. And when I did a little digging online, I found out that I’m not the only person who feels this way. There are hundreds of dissatisfied customers who have voiced their opinions against Alex and his scams. Such people are the main reason why people are afraid of doing business online. He is a cheat and a thief. He sells useless products, does fake promises, and delivers poor results. He has created not one but many rubbish products, which provide the user with no value whatsoever. His software (Market Hero) is too complex for the average user and has a lot of technical issues. His customer service is the worst and you will have to wait for days to get a response. I wanted to make others aware of Alex’s scams and fishy deeds. If I had known at that time, the things I know about him now, I wouldn’t have wasted my precious earnings on the rubbish products of this guy. I hope my experience will open your eyes and help you see the true face of Alex Becker. If you’ve been a follower of Alex for some time, you will find this article quite disheartening but sadly, it’s the reality.

Alex’s Life Story (According to Himself)

Alex Becker has a huge following online throughout the globe. So doubting the credibility of such a popular guy is quite difficult. However, before I begin sharing my experience (and others’), it’s essential that you get to know Alex first. It will help you see how well he has managed to create his fraudulent business. It will also help you realize how good he is in lying to everyone. He pries on people’s emotions and if you would apply some logic, you will see that Alex starts his lies right from his own bio. His life story is quite short for a guy this successful. It simply mentions that he is a tech and nutrition entrepreneur. There is no background information given in his bio. It also shares that he has built multiple businesses which have capital of 6 and 7 figures. It mentions that Alex has helped my businesses in growing, through his bestselling books and training programs. For a guy like, Becker, this life bio isn’t sufficient. It is only there to tell a new visitor about him. If you want to find out more, you will either have to buy one of his books or take part in any one of his courses. You can also join his emailing list. This scam artist has created a funnel to lure people. He knows that getting into the wallets of people isn’t easy. So he first tries to build trust with you. He does so by telling you about his past successes and his current level of wealth. This way he gets your attention and convinces you to purchase any one of his products. He has created something for everyone. If you’re a businessman, he has a software product for you. If you’re a consumer, he has a dietary supplement as well. The bad news is, all of them are of extremely poor quality. You wouldn’t find anything of value and anything worth spending your cash on when you will get these products. But you would have already invested your money. He tricks people into buying his products through fake promises and lies. And then, he steals their money. His scams have no end.

Just give me my REFUND bro!

I had bought a subscription of Alex’s email marketing software called Market Hero. There is a ton of content online from Alex, where he talks about SEO and marketing. So I thought he has created a genuine product which delivers amazing results. I didn’t have trouble finding it and when I did, I found the landing page to be quite compelling. I thought Market Hero was the perfect solution for my email marketing problems. Email marketing is quite effective for online businesses and in the long run, it yields great results. I was looking to enhance my business’s reach and improve its lead generation. So I got a free trial of this software. When I was using it, it worked fine and there weren’t any major issues whatsoever. I was happy and after giving it a try, I thought I should get a paid package. It would have been better for me because, with its help, I can grow my mailing list fast and get rid of any kind of hassles in the process. I made the purchase and everything was great. I bought the $1000 plan for the year. That was a huge mistake. Trust me USE MAILCHIMP. Don’t think of using Market Hero. When I bought the paid version, I was glad about its performance. But they released an update after a month’s use and things took a bad turn. My autoresponder stopped working. And my software started losing data. My saved emails weren’t saved properly. The autoresponder is a Facebook Messenger feature you get when you buy Market Hero. This feature lets you set up automatic responses to customer queries and messages on Facebook Messenger. When it stopped working, my customers stopped getting any responses to their messages. The saved emails I lost, they were a part of my online course which I was giving to the new subscribers of my website’s newsletter. My whole schedule got disturbed. It’s almost as if the update was made to destroy the software. It became a nightmare. I contacted customer support. I thought they will help me in getting rid of these problems. I was wrong. I had made the mistake of believing in Alex and his products. His customer support didn’t respond. When I contacted them through the chat, I just had a conversation with a bot and when the time came to connect with a person, it disconnected because no one was available. When I contacted them through email, I finally got a response. They told me they will look into the matter. I told them about the magnitude of losses I was facing because of their update. Again, I got a similar reply. I waited for another week. But there was no positive development. So I contacted them again. After 2 days, I got a reply from them saying that ‘they will look into the matter’. I was enraged. I told them that I don’t want to use their software anymore and I demanded a refund. But they never responded to that email. Due to the poor customer support of Alex’s Market Hero, I lost a large chunk of my time and a good deal of money. I could have invested that money in some other sections of my business. Apart from the loss of money and effort, it cost me, customers. Due to this fiasco, I wasn’t able to execute my email marketing strategy properly for a while. My customers weren’t getting any responses on Facebook Messenger. I lost a lot of leads during that time. You might ask, “Why did you even buy the software?” Because his website promises customer support which replies quickly within a few minutes. According to his website, you can easily get in touch with customer support. Alex’s company clearly stole $1,000 from me. It might seem like a small amount to some people but for me and my business, it was a lot. I have realized how pathetic his products are and why I shouldn’t buy any of his products in the future. One might say that the failure of his customer support doesn’t make him the bad guy. But you should note that it’s his company and it states clearly that you get prompt customer support and staff when you purchase their product. My experience didn’t end there. I thought I should check some of his other products to see how authentic he really is. So, I got a trial membership of his Source University. Now, this is another major startup from Alex and it is about learning advanced SEO concepts. When I got access to this course, I was glad. It has a lot of content for the customer. But I already had faced a poor experience with the customer support of an Alex company. So I first checked the quality f the same. It was great. But there was a huge issue with the Source University. It encourages the use of the black hat and grey hat SEO techniques. Apart from that, it was quite impressive. Let me add that promoting marketing methods which will eventually put the person in trouble isn’t a great thing to do. In fact, it can cost you a lot if you get caught using any of these tactics. There’s a reason why they are called black hat and grey hat marketing tactics. When found, Google will penalize your site and all of your effort and investment would go in vain. Still, it wasn’t my main cause of worry. Having used one of Alex’s products, I was certain that he sells rubbish. He is scamming people through his constant lies and marketing techniques. He does fake promises. His site promised me great customer support but I got trash. This one incident with his Source University made me realize what kind of pathetic human being he really is. HE STOLE $400 FROM ME!! His company deducted $400 from my credit card balance right after the free trial ended without notifying me. They did not ask for my permission. They simply took the money from my account. Their monthly price was $45 but they gave me a discount and gave me a years’ membership. It was my mistake. I should have known that if one of Alex’s companies can cause me losses then another one can do the same. I was ashamed of myself. I contacted the customer support of this company to get me a refund. I told them that I did not want to avail the services and that the money was deducted from my account without asking me. They told me that they don’t give refunds and that I have already agreed to their Terms of Service. That’s when I realized that Alex has created filthy channels for drawing more money towards him. People will blame themselves for overlooking these details and they would end up losing money to him. The winner, in the end, is always Alex. He gets the money for a service or product which doesn’t do much for the user. His large number of products and services help him in maximizing the number of his victims. There must be countless people who might have lost money to him but still use his other services. I have realized that Alex Becker is a huge scammer. He is not only lying on his product websites but he is using all kinds of vicious methods to steal money from people. I have faced a lot of financial losses because of this guy. While the first one was a huge expense for my business the second one struck me personally. I am certain that all of Alex’s products are unworthy of anyone’s time because they are useless and will lead to your financial loss.

Taking Spamming to the next level

There are many people who hate Alex because of his scams and malicious marketing tactics. Some hate him only because of the way markets himself. Take a look at his Facebook page for example:

It highlights him as the ‘Best Looking Marketer’. What is he trying to prove here? On his website, you will see him standing with a Lamborghini. Again, he is showing off and he is doing that just so will get distracted from his reality. He uses black hat SEO tactics for marketing his own brands and as I’ve discussed earlier, he teaches these black hat SEO tactics to others through his courses as well. There are many victims of Alex’s poor products and wrongful methods of stealing money. Before he had a trial available for his email marketing tool (Market Hero), he used to have a 30-day refund policy for the new users. He has stolen money from many people through that 30-day refund policy. When his scam got exposed and many people started calling him out for this fake policy, he changed the policy and now he offers a free trial of the software to reach new users. In my personal experience, his software is still useless and unworthy of your time and money. It cost me a fortune in money, effort and resources. After its recent update, I lost a ton of customers and leads because it stopped working properly with my website. My marketing strategies and plans all went to waste. This crappy software ruined my email marketing endeavour and I never got any compensation for the damages this software cost me.

There are multiple complaints registered against Alex Becker’s companies on the Better Business Bureau as well. His team got these complaints removed because they were harming his flawless reputation. And one more thing, his company ‘Market Hero’ is not accredited to BBB. This should be enough evidence for you to stay away from this company and this guy’s products.

If you want to find some more opinions about his past customers, I suggest heading to Trustpilot. You will find some useful and insightful reviews there discussing the various ways he cheats people and betrays their trust. And it is so when he has paid many reviewers to give him a positive rating. The web has plenty of websites where you will find a detailed positive review of his products. The reviewer discusses the minus points but tends to overlook their importance. I should have read plenty of reviews of Alex’s products before making any decision. His marketing tactics involve showing off various rich toys and ensuring that the person remains distracted.

The Trustpilot reviews of Market Hero share the different kinds of pains people face because of the poor technology used in it. One customer wanted a refund because he was no longer able to use the product. However, as in my case, the company refused to give him a refund because his trial has ended. One reviewer says that their terms of service are unethical. They deliberately took money from his account even when he did not want to use the software. This complainer also mentioned that he was going to report Market Hero and its staff to the State of Texas Attorney General. You can see that I’m not the only person who has lost money due to the vague terms of service and deceiving customer support of Alex’s companies. Another customer faced a similar problem. He set up his Shopify store with the help of the course. But the course is so poorly designed, that it did not help him much in the set up of the store and its optimization. It took him 30 days of the trial to set up his store properly. As his free trial was about to end, he ended his subscription. Now, the company says that it will give you your credit card balance back if you cancel the subscription in time. He waited to receive the amount when he didn’t, he contacted the customer support. The customer support said that he hadn’t asked for the credit when he cancelled the subscription so they didn’t release it. So he requested for the same. As a reply to his request, they sent him a 10-page form, in which he had to add the screenshots of his progress. But because he had cancelled his subscription, he wasn’t able to access the software and so, he couldn’t get the screenshots. Clearly, Alex’s companies cheat people by lying to them first. He has created vicious scamming methods to cheat all kinds of people in multiple ways. He is a complete fraud and if you would ask me, I would say you should stay away from him and his companies. He uses social media to lure more victims. People on those platforms are unaware of these complaints and so they trust this guy easily.

He has over 300k subscribers on YouTube and a similar number of followers on Instagram. This number is depressing because it shows that there are hundreds of thousands of people who are getting scammed or will get scammed by this fraudster.

He runs expensive ads, shows off expensive cars and markets himself as an expert. This lures many people who haven’t seen his past customer’s complaints. It’s sad but it’s working.

Conclusion

Alex Becker is a huge scammer and he has created multiple businesses to cheat people. My company lost a hefty amount of profits as well as plenty of leads because of the faults present in his software, Market Hero. And when I tried his SEO teaching academy, Source University, I got scammed once again. His company stole $400 from me and did not give me a refund when I asked for it. Alex is running a large scale fraud and that’s why it is vital to expose him. He has cheated numerous people and he doesn’t feel any remorse for his actions. It shows how wicked, heartless and evil Alex Becker is in reality. I hope my article helped you in seeing the true face of this criminal and it will help you in making an informed decision regarding his companies and products. The real problem is, has social media made such scam artist more powerful? Shouldn’t they be stopped before they harm hundreds or in this case, thousands of people?
