Nah I forgot dude had said Triple A baseball so it was probably the Pawtucket Red Sox but it doesn't matter cause I still can't find his name.

I'm guessing OP is talking about Steven Drew

Not him. He's not currently playing. He's an Italian dude with a hairline that starts somewhere at the top of his head.

oh, it was minor league ball. no wonder dude wasn't into his 9-5 of being a professional baseball player.

I was bout to call on a legit MLB player trying to quit their job for MLM

One of my boys tried to get me in on Wake up now, and some internet marketing shyt called ipas millionaire ... Started coming around tell us how he was gonna quit his job, and this gives him time to do what he was passionate about. I told em straight up "show me a check and ill sign up the next day

Never spoke about it again

Reminds me of when I tried to start my own pyramid scheme. .

I printed out 500 flyers advertising a work from home job offer (with the cut off numbers). Said they could make up to 300 to 500 a weak easy. I got a prepaid phone to use as the number. When people called the heard a message about making money "blah, blah, blah". To get started all they had to do is mail a check for $10 and their contact info to a po box for further details.

When they mail the check I would mail them back a letter with the follow instructions.


Make about 200 flyers a weeks and post them shyts in as many locations as you can advertising a work from home offer. I told them emphasize how much one could make working part time. I told them to buy prepaid phone and leave a message instructing them to mail 10 bucks to your address "preferable a po box". If someone sends in the money, I would tell them to write them back with instructions on what I just told them to do


In one summer I made about $5000. I was only 19 so that was a lot of money to me. I figured it was illegal so eventually I got scared and stopped.

Let me bookmark this real quick.

Ya'll know I been looking for a job recently, still nothing though. So about a week ago I got a text from one of my friends saying his friend recently got a spot open in his company and was looking for some hard workers to make some money part time.

So you know I'm desperate as fukk for money right now so text him back and tell him I'm available. So Sunday I get a call from dude telling me his "very successful" friend is on the line and he wants to speak to me. So we chop it up for a bit I tell him when can we meet and tells me that he, my friend and some other people are having a meeting Monday at 7:30 PM. At this point I'm like what the hell? I tell him cool but he tells me he can't promise me anything.

Ok so I haul ass all the way from Brooklyn to Manhattan, and reach the place. Here I am thinking it's gonna be a little job interview type meeting with about 4-5 people but I go in the building to the 6th floor and it's a whole fukking room full of people. About 40-50.

So I finally meet dude, and the first thing I noticed was how bad the nikka smelled.

Anyway he tells me that my homeboy forgot he had to go to work so he couldn't make it.

So dude tells me what am I specifically interested in doing, and I tell him I'm down to do anything for the summer just to make some cash but I'd prefer sales and customer service. So breh tells me grab a seat were gonna have a presentation and we'll talk after.

So I grab a seat and they bring out this former Red Sox player, Steve or Steven something I can't remember the dude's name and I looked on Wikipedia and I can't find him either so...

So dude goes on and on about making money and how people work for someone else the entire week and don't get to enjoy themselves. Dude says he didn't like playing baseball because he was on the field all the time and had no time to enjoy himself and basically saying that people live for the weekends.

So the shyt is sort of catching my interest and I'm thinking dude is some sort of entrepreneur and all that shyt.

Now dude starts playing a video of some company called Amway. It wasn't this video but it was close to it.



After the video is done I'm like and finally realize this is one of them pyramid schemes.

So at this point I'm just like at how I actually ended up in one of these. Some kid gets up and starts walking out and the speaker's like "Have a good night" When dude reaches the door he says "It's ok he has to go work for someone in the morning I don't."

At that point I'm not really fukking with the vibe in the room and I'm ready to leave. So we see a bunch of nikkas in the room that they're calling shyt like "Sapphire" "Emerald" "Gold" members. So automatically I remember a thread on the Coli where dudes were talking about pyramid schemes and mentioned "gold" and silver" members.

So presentation ends I'm sort of skeptical but I'm desperate for some money now. I tell dude I need some money so I'll do this shyt part time for the summer.

Dude hands me a sealed folder and a video of some dude who he said started doing this at 18 and retired at 25.

So anyway I set up an "appointment" with the nikka and this bytch at some Panera Bread restaurant at 8 PM on Wednesday. I'm not expecting it to go anywhere tbh but like I said I'm desperate to make money so I'm about willing to give it a shot. If I have to pay for anything though I'm chucking this nikka and my homeboy in the bushes.

Sigh...my.mom on that amway stuff. Trying to get me involved and I've got some checks off it but she won't listen to me.

It's possible to get fetti off it...u just have to really push

 

[Krazy]

Yeah some dude I know stay flexing on IG talking about building another mans dream and not your own
Your apart of the dream of the ones at the top, because your a bunch of clueless clowns racking up money for them whilst be delusional.

Then theres another dude I saw on my explore page bragging and posing in front of Range Rovers, with a slick caption.
Talking bout how he went from Michael Kors to a Rolex
Now I see him taking pics at public transport stops and that Rolex??? I aint seen that on his wrist since he posted a pic of it next to his "old" MK

That's crazy breh, one of my boys hit me up yesterday talking bout I got something important to show you being all secretive and shyt. I haven't seen this nikka in a minute so I decided to meet him he drives me up to a bar where their was a presentation and it was for a fukking MLM pyramid scheme called WorldVenture/Dreamtrips, same shyt as Amway but instead of pushing those everyday products, they push vacation packages and vehicles.

I was tight, this nikka really dragged me out for this dumb shyt at least I got some bad shawty number and had a decent steak at the bar. I can't change this dumb nikkas mind to back out of this shyt.
