I keep having to tear down extremely predatory/misleading Scien.tology flyers in my school's art building. This is the third fucking time I've ripped the fuckers up and I'm getting Real Fucking Tired of it.
If you see shit like this DO NOT call the number, do not do anything to interact with these fucking people. Take down the posters if you're able to. They do NOT want to help you. They are a literal fucking cult who openly despise psychology and any actual proven mental health science, and are actively trying to trick mentally/emotionally vulnerable people into joining.
The red flags here are "Hubbard," the name of their founder, and "dianetics," the crackpot theory they teach for "auditing" your sins from your past lives.
I’d like to add what @jaspertheshark said in the tags because I feel it’s important
[ID: 2 photos and a screenshot of tags. The first photo is of a red poster that reads, "Stress? Anxiety? Depression? Take Control of you Mental Health. Call/Text [the number is blacked out]" There are some tearaway tabs on the bottom that are also blacked out. The second photo is a close up on fine print under the above text, which reads, "©2022 Hubbard Dianetics Foundation of Central Ohio. All rights reserved."
The tags read, "These are all good red flags to be aware of but I'd like to remind people. Do not call or text numbers on flyers or signs that do not explicitly state the company or have a logo. If it does and you don't recognize the company name or logo, google it. The name will not be in fine print in a copyright note it will be obvious. If it's not, or if google can't give you an address. Don't call. Don't text. Ignore the sign. It's a scam and could be actively harmful and dangerous." /End ID]
