Beware of scams. Our information is free for all.
Impersonators pose as CLEC and "James Chen" to defraud people. Here is how to tell the real account from the fakes — and our promise that everything we share stays free.
Compiled from CLEC's official briefing #00572 · July 4, 2026
Three things to always remember
Always free
Every piece of CLEC information is free and public. We never run paid groups or any money transactions.
James never messages first
James will not add you or reach out privately. He only replies when you come to ask a question yourself.
One true identity
On Clubhouse, the only correct ID is @clecchairman. Anything else is an impersonator.
Beware of scams
Scammers copy our name and CLEC logo, then message you to gain trust and take your money.
The only correct Clubhouse ID
@clecchairman
Verify this handle character by character. Scammers add or change a letter and swap IDs often.
Real vs. fake accounts
@clecchairman
4.3k friends
- This is the real CLEC James
- Handle is exactly @clecchairman
- States clearly: we have no groups — everything is on public platforms
@clecchairmann · @clecchairmanm
8–39 friends
- An extra letter is added to the handle
- Only a handful of friends
- Changes IDs constantly and claims "this is my alt account"
How the scam works — red flags
- 1Registers look-alike IDs (an extra letter) and switches between them often.
- 2Messages you first, claiming "this is my alt, please follow me."
- 3Sends "investment plans" by WhatsApp or DM — 770K in cash, 50/50 or 40/60 allocations, and similar scripts.
- 4Invites you to a "discussion group," "paid group," or "club." CLEC has no groups at all.
- 5Asks for money, offers to trade on your behalf, or pushes a paid service.

Free information for all
CLEC exists to share, not to sell. Our stance on information and keepsakes:
All information is free
Everything is free and downloadable from public platforms. There is never any need to join a paid group — if someone charges in CLEC's name, it isn't us.
About logos & keepsakes
Fine to do
- Make your own stickers, cups, hats or tees with the logo for personal use.
- A small group printing a few for themselves, not for public sale.
- Anything, as long as it stays free.
Not okay
- Selling CLEC-branded keepsakes for money.
- Listing or trading them in groups or public places.
- Any commerce or money exchange tied to the CLEC name or logo.
Between friends I only give it to you — I never sell it to you. Especially anything carrying the CLEC name or logo.
