is the imbellus guide by Strategycase.com a scam or not?

Hi, I am about to pass the Imbellus game for McKinsey PSG. I wanted to know if strategycase.com is reliable and not a scam ? indeed they sell a 100 pages guide for the Imbellus problem solving game for around 30$.  I want to make sure its worth it or at least not a kind of scam.

I would really appreciate any kind of feedback.

Cheers,

Hi there,

I am sure it is a good product, they have a lot of reviews.

If you want to get a complete guide plus watch a full replica of the game, you can find below a simulation with 15 videos on how to crack the ecosystem game in 23 minutes (instead of 35) and resist in the Plant Defense 25+ turns (instead of 15) – full disclosure, I am the author ;)

If you have any questions please feel free to reach out, I will reply within 12 hours.

Best,

Francesco

Hey there,

I am the author of the guide and owner of the site. It is not a scam. 

However, there are other products available here on PrepLounge which also cover the same test and I would not want to advertise my products here. :-)

Cheers,

Moving from one place or home to another comes with several challenges. According to 2023 data from Home Bay research, hiring movers appears to be a two-blade sword as 1 in every 4 Americans regret not hiring a moving company or mover, while almost 50% of those who did still had items broken during the move. 
At the same time, though, 43% of Americans have mentioned that it’s much easier and time-saving to hire a mover than inconveniencing family or friends or doing it themselves. Unfortunately, many consumers have already been subjected to moving fraud.

Research and Reviews: Look for reviews or testimonials from other users who have used their services. Check if there are any complaints or negative feedback about the website. Do a quick internet search to see what information you can find.

Contact Information and Transparency: Check if the website provides clear contact information, such as a physical address, phone number, and email. Legitimate websites typically have transparent communication channels.

Secure Payment: Ensure that the website uses secure payment methods, and look for the padlock icon in the browser's address bar indicating a secure connection.

Terms and Conditions: Read the terms and conditions of the website carefully before making any purchases. Make sure you understand the refund policy and other relevant details.

I can confirm it is not a scam. I used it for my preparation and was successful in moving to the next stage. If you are getting it try to understand the logic of each exercise, the scenarios might vary but their logic is still the same.
