PSA: That $200 "friendship retreat" I went to was a total scam

I dropped $200 on a weekend "adult friendship retreat" thinking it would help me connect with people my age in my city. Turns out it was just 8 hours of awkward icebreakers and a sales pitch for a $50 monthly subscription app. Has anyone else fallen for one of these pricey social events that promised real connection but just took your money?

$40 for a "community potluck" that was just a timeshare pitch last week.

Did they actually advertise it as a "retreat" or was it sold as a workshop or something else?
