While it's not uncommon for the payment plan price to be more (when you total it up) than the pay in full price, having the payments be less than a month apart is very suspicious. The payment plans are basically financing without having to get a loan or something and are riskier than when someone pays in full. Her numbers aren't that bad actually $1497 vs $1794 would not be unusual in this scenario. You do it this way to make the pay in full option more attractive. It's a common marketing/sales tactic but usually the payments set to be once a month until all payments are completed...not within 2 weeks, that's ridiculous. And you're right, if someone put this on their credit card, then they're paying more interest on top and that sucks.

Totally agreed! The marketing psychology of good choice/bad choice is common, but Anna Bey's utilization of it has no finesse. Dan Ariely tells about early bread-making machines which weren't selling. Instead of lowering the price, they introduced a much higher-priced model that had all kinds of advanced features. So when people looked at breadmakers and were not sure if they really wanted one, they saw the expensive model, and the decision then became "I don't need all those fancy features, so I guess I'll buy the plain one." The strategy was successful because both choices had their appeal while one was clearly more practical. Anna's version is just the usual money grab--Option B makes no sense at all, and only reinforces the expensive price of the course.

The 15 days payment plan is just another scam. If you read closely, Secrets of the Elite Woman - bold to help SEO - is an actual mamushka of scams.

Dearest eleghunt elefant mangoes, did you all see the latest Banana story about a refreshed botox before a ''vacation''. I forgot to take a screenshot but I am sure we will see her fantastic results soon.
Thanks to the Magoes who explained her payment plan. It is indeed a blessing that her payment plan was only two weeks, imagine if she had been able to fleece people with a buy-now-pay-later type thing that could have kept people in debt for ages? Her target audience at the time didn't have 1+K$ to throw around, so imagine what damage the ''get a klaaasy billionare life'' scam would have gotten for say ''just 50$ a month!''
Now she's lost the as much devoted following, I am not sure if she will get many people paying her new 27$ a month thing. She has soooo many scams that it is hard to keep up with.

So, her news is that she's done with all of the various things she's tried (podcast, patreon, a list, clothing line, etc) and will not create new courses so she can be all in on levelupclass.com (this one is already in the scam links list right?).
Step up ladies! You can be part of the "test" group or beta group and join level up class membership for just $27/month! When the price goes up, you will keep your lower price as thanks for being part of the first members. I don't know about you all, but I don't know how I can resist this amazing offer. I get access to all her previous scam courses, the videos from patreon, the old podcast episodes, all her "masterclasses", even the really old sh*t from back in her jetsetbabe days for just $27/month! Oh, and there's a random Q&A with Scamma Bey each month? Amazing!
I find the branding so weird for this new venture. The blue and orange and the typeface of the logo and overall design reads more like an internet marketer than an elegance/mindset/level up coach. Also, is "Sally" in the testimonials an AI image? The text for her sounds like the word salad that Anna uses. The other testimonials further down the page are amusing as well.
Ok, so how many of us Mangoes are signing up?
I just checked it out and I thought the same. It looks like a run-of-the-mill digital marketing landing page template. The colors don't match her brand. The language is odd for a personal development community. Fast Track? Easy implementation? It looks like it was spun up quickly and she used most of the copy and assets that already came with the template. Take this section for example. It doesn't seem customized to her audience.
She needs a space between "lack a." This doesn't scream high quality or leveled-up. It screams quick, lazy, and desperate for money.
And I really hate that personal development has been commoditized to this extent. The level-up trend is nearly over and manifestation coaching is right behind it. Thank goodness! Anna is behind the times. Coaches and digital marketers are struggling right now. It is a dying industry because of oversaturation and exploitative practices that have eroded consumer trust. What Anna is teaching no longer aligns with the values of the modern woman. Nothing about her life is aspirational except that she was able to ride the digital marketing and influencer wave for some years and have it fund her travel and lifestyle. That bubble has burst. She's deceived so many women into coveting a lifestyle that she was barely living and she wasn't even happy. This online elegance and hypergamy foolishness has led to impressionable women wasting their youth chasing something that is ultimately hollow and unfulfilling. It has glamorized narcissistic traits and encouraged women to see other human beings as tools to be used to achieve goals rather than focusing on cultivating genuinely meaningful relationships. This venture, too, will flop. She needs to come clean, apologize, and offer something of value to humanity or get a job.

Oh, I have been so busy I missed this ...
Tattle works hard but scammers work harder...
This is a NEW scam link (very similar to previous ones but different domain), shall some gentle soul please add it? https://levelupclass.com/
My understanding of thistacky drastic change of brand is that she's been adviced to change her branding to seem like a different option instead of "Anna Bey" classic branding. Her previous design is already linked to her name, which ... well... after the Tattle threads is impossible to recover.

Added! And you're absolutely right, plastering her own name and face over everything is the worst thing she could do to sell now

@StellaDawn Thank you for the screenshot. This really looks like a template/asset for some generic business course/entrepreneurship blabla inspo.
I never knew Banana did anything to ''fact check''. Well, she has fact checked that hanging out in hotel bars works for escorting perhaps....
''High probability of success'' = with what? Giving away money to the klaaasy guru?
Banana seems to be good at asking herself on insta her own bespoke questions to flog her limited edition sold out linen that is still not sold out.
I really hope few people will fall for her new scam. Tattle mango laydees don't sleep.

Separating her name from her brand could also be part of the process of getting ready to sell the business.

Watching this documentary was a deeply disturbing and made me feel sick to my stomach. Kat is so eerily similar to Scamma Bey. They both share the same obsession with prostituting/sugaring to old grotesque Russian billionaire oligarchs, fake witchcraft, neglecting their education… Of course they both got inevitably discarded by these old ugly Russians for younger, more naive women once their looks faded. Disgustingly, Kat and Scamma Bey both decided to to groom and scam young girls into prostitution.
What really got to me was how Anna and Kat both prey and lure young girls online. They both groom online with lies and false dreams, pushing these women into a life of prostitution and exploitation. Kat and Anna’s execution of grooming is eerily similar. Scamma Bey’s so-called "elite courses” are nothing but a grotesque scam, glorifying the idea of sleeping with older men and teaching women how to sell their bodies. The fact that she scams women out of thousands of dollars for this is beyond appalling, sad and horrifying!
I felt a profound sense of anger and disgust. It breaks my heart to see how Anna Bey continues to ruin women’s lives, exploiting young women's vulnerabilities and perpetuating a cycle of abuse. I hope Anna Bey will eventually the face justice as Kat and end up rotting in a cell.

I believe that we, the mangoes, are doing a great job with documenting Banana's posts, claims and the ridiculousness of her ''courses''. While it might seem like the posts here don't do much, people find these threads and decide not to give Banana their money. I admit I was almost convinced by Banana before I found tattle and read everything. Not only did I save a ton of cash, but I also realised that what she is doing has nothing to do with being elegant and refined, the reality is she's selling escorting/sugaring tips disguised as being elegant and leveled up. Especially if someone young and very naive were to follow her ''tips'' it could lead to a not so happy life with exploitation.
I also think that our posts have made Banana flail around as her followers aren't as easily convinced to part with their money. Even if my posts and these threads made another woman reconsider purchasing Banana's ''courses'', it is a job well done.
By the way, where has our laydee disappeared? Is she busy ''keeping gents company''?

I couldn’t agree more—we, the mangoes, are doing a fantastic job exposing Banana’s absurdity and her so-called “courses.” It’s astounding how many people have been saved from falling into her trap by finding these threads. Who knew that “elegance” now translates to selling escorting and sugaring tips? The reality check is both hilarious and horrifying.
It’s clear that Banana’s whole shtick is nothing but a sham. Her tips on “leveling up” are about as refined as a rusty shovel. The fact that young and naive followers could end up in a life of exploitation because of her is deeply disturbing. I’m glad our posts have made a dent in her operation, causing her to flail around as fewer people are fooled by her charade.
Every time one of us posts and helps another woman reconsider buying into Banana’s nonsense, it’s a win. It’s like we’re peeling back the layers of her deception one by one, revealing the rotten core underneath.
As for where our laydee has disappeared to, I can only assume she’s busy “keeping gents company.” Maybe she’s finally realized that scamming people online isn’t a sustainable career path. Either way, here’s hoping she gets what’s coming to her. Keep up the good work, fellow mangoes!

Banana is up to more nonsense and a not elegant trip to Croatia, that's from early July, nothing since then
She knows so many secrets she always has to ask her community every time she looks into something. One thing that hasn't changed over the year is her Modus operandi

Banana is a walking punchline. Watching her try to maintain this “elegant” facade is like watching a car crash in slow motion. Her face is a monument to every bad plastic surgeon in town, and no amount of smoothing filters can hide that.
She fancies herself a life guru, but her “insights” are just recycled trash. It’s like she’s hosting a game show where the prize is the most pathetic attempt to sound profound while fishing for ideas from her followers. It’s clear she’s running on empty and hoping nobody notices.
Her attempts to stay in the spotlight are as transparent as they are pathetic. It’s like she’s endlessly auditioning for a reality show where the only drama is how spectacularly she embarrasses herself.

I don’t think she’ll be able to sell them for a high price. Traffic and the amount of visitors, as well as the real customers play a bigger role. Let’s be realistic, not many people (I mean tens or hundreds of thousands of people) will be interested in Anna’s content to gather enough interest for potential buyers.
