while your point is noted, it is also interesting to know that people have different levels and understanding and learning abilities so despite these materials, they still need some form of assistance or encouragement or tutorials. You were privileged to join a whatsapp group yeah, I wasnt. i asked a number of times without response. So you are smart, we are smart but some of us need more support.
A CLB 10 for a first time writer is amazing, but how many people have written more than 2 times and are still struggling? Not everybody wants to be spoon fed, some just need help genuinely. So research, study and ask for help where you need to.

@prettiepearlz, first, I don't do banters so I will not respond beyond this. I did not call anyone a scammer, I advised the op to be very vigilant, that is all, you do not believe all you read in faceless forum like here hook, line and sinker. Moreso, if you have bean following this thread for a while, you will realise there are still people who come in here, post a seemingly innocent story, then end it with 'pm for advice' which does not help. We have been actively promoting page 1 to encourage people to do their personal research but it seems people just want to spoonfed info out here, smh. The materials on ielts on page one are very loaded and helpful but people hardly look into them. I used them to prepare for mine, and also joined a whatsapp tutorial class here and it helped. At least a clb 10 for a first time writer with no idea at all previously of ielts structure isnt too bad.

The idea I am putting across is simple, let us prompt people to research and look for info on things that have been made available, not fall into something they could later regret and not spamming the thread as that post would lead to with every newbies typing, 'send bla bla bla to my email', 'I have pmed you etc'. All the gurus of then that were so helpful to us then, peeps like ifeoma, Topsmamen, joo2018, 40man, new mum don't even bother to show up again to help. Why? Because the thread is now overrun with people looking unwilling to just go through page 1and their enablers; unfortunately, so many genuine questions are being ignored, because the people that could have helped are not seeing them in the myriad of unhelpful post here and there. I truly hope the thread does not degenerate further and goes back to the way it used to be. Peace!

Okay so let me clear myself here. first, I AM NOT A SCAMMER!!!.

Yes, i registered again last night, simply because i couldn't log in/ retrieve my email for my former account despite all attempts for some reasons.

Furthermore, I believe scammers have a common habit of requesting for money for materials or asking to register for tutorials which i have no business with.

I will send materials (useful and scanty) and videos which i also got from someone here on nairaland as well as provide other forms of support e.g proofreading, and other forms of useful tips.

So if my good will appears to you as a scam, its okay. It is not surprising because most people hoard knowledge.

Once more, I am not a scam and would not like to be addressed as one.

Thank you and yes, it is very okay to be vigilant .
