Discover how entrepreneurs are being scammed by AppSumo's "Pig Butchering" scheme. Protect yourself—join my free course and learn more!
In today’s fast-paced digital economy, platforms like AppSumo have risen to prominence as a haven for entrepreneurs looking to scale their businesses with discounted software tools and digital products. While these deals seem like the perfect solution for startups and small businesses, the truth behind AppSumo reveals something far darker: it’s part of a broader Pig Butchering scam targeting unsuspecting entrepreneurs.
Pig Butchering is a scam that involves the gradual manipulation of a target, often by luring them into what appears to be a profitable opportunity. The scammer "fattens" the target, making them feel secure in their decision, before "slaughtering" them financially. Entrepreneurs looking for deals to help their businesses grow often become the ideal victims of such schemes.
In the case of AppSumo, the platform’s irresistible lifetime deals and discounted software offers disguise a predatory scheme. By "fattening" the client base with enticing offers, they set the stage for what ultimately results in a massive letdown or financial exploitation.
One of the most troubling aspects of this scam is how it operates with the help of unscrupulous influencers. These influencers, who often have little to no understanding of technology, serve as mouthpieces for the scam, convincing entrepreneurs that AppSumo is a goldmine of opportunities.
These individuals have mastered the art of persuasion, using their platforms to create hype around tools and services they know nothing about. Their ignorance, combined with their large followings, makes them powerful allies in this scam, enabling the exploitation of entrepreneurs who believe they’ve discovered a miracle solution for their business.
Influencers paint AppSumo as the ultimate resource for growth, leveraging their audiences' trust. In reality, many are simply profiting from referral deals, while their followers fall victim to the scam. Fools believing in a miracle are led to financial slaughter by these influencers, whose primary goal is to capitalize on the naivety of others.
AppSumo represents yet another example of a Pig Butchering scam, akin to those found in companies like Virgin Galactic, Bed Bath & Beyond, and Neximmune. Entrepreneurs, driven by the need to find cost-effective solutions for their businesses, are easily swayed by promises of lifetime deals and discounted tools that seem too good to be true.
The illusion of guaranteed success and business growth, often promoted by influencers, leads many to make poor financial decisions, unaware that they are being "fattened" for slaughter. By the time they realize the reality, it’s often too late.

If you search for AppSumo on Google, you’ll find that it’s marketed as a digital marketplace founded in 2010, providing lifetime software deals for entrepreneurs and small businesses. However, while AppSumo appears to be a dream come true for entrepreneurs looking to save on software, in reality, it is yet another platform involved in a Pig Butchering scam.
AppSumo has managed to dupe nearly all Americans, and as awareness grows, it has now expanded its operations to Europe, preying on entrepreneurs who still believe in its false promises.
AppSumo is part of a broader scam designed to exploit the dreams of entrepreneurs. I leave you with this warning: Beware of platforms that offer too-good-to-be-true deals. Pig Butchering scams are real, and the financial "slaughter" they create can devastate the unsuspecting.
