Credit Clowns & TikTok Cons: The Truth They Won’t Tell You

Exposing fake hacks, hustlers, and the lies keeping you broke — one flame at a time

I don’t sell dreams. I expose the nightmare — and torch the liars who profit from it.

I’m John Mackey. FICO certified. Mortgage veteran. Credit system insider turned whistleblower. I’ve been knee-deep in this game since 1988 — and let me tell you, it’s not broken. It’s built this way. On purpose.

And now? Everyone with a ring light and an app thinks they’re a credit expert.

TikTok is flooded with so-called “credit hacks” from twenty-somethings who’ve never seen a real credit file, never dealt with a debt collector, and couldn’t explain the difference between a FICO 8 and FICO 10T if their lives depended on it.
These fraudsters aren’t here to educate you. They’re here to monetize your confusion — pushing “rapid results,” shady CPNs, recycled dispute letters, and generic templates they downloaded off Google Drive.

And then there are the credit repair hustlers — the ones who promise a 750 score in 30 days, charge $150 a month to “sweep” your file, and vanish when you get sued over a junk debt. They don’t care about your future. They care about your wallet.

Let me make this plain: Credit repair is an unregulated Wild West — and too many people are getting played.

I’ve lived through it. I’ve fought the system — not from a script, but from experience. I don’t deal in fairy tales.
I deal in facts.
I don’t offer secrets.
I show receipts.

This isn’t some feel-good influencer zone. This is where we dismantle the lies, burn the myths to the ground, and rebuild your understanding from the ground up — based on how credit actually works, not how social media pretends it does.

If you’re tired of being misled, sold out, and labeled “subprime” for profit — stick around.

This is financial literacy with a flamethrower.
No filters. No fairy dust. Just truth that scorches.


Credit truth. No filters. No fear.
