My bro got caught up in a pyramid scheme

[Amestafuu (Emeritus)]

I never been caught in an MLM scam. Some bummy breh in my hood got on that shyt and one day he approach me outside my building talking about he sees his co-workers pushing lexus and blah blah. He's trying to get there as well. Right of the bat I was amused at his motivations and the whole get up and trash pitch. Never mind the fact that this guy never worked a day in his life. Now he was a "business owner" but we lived in a broke down area and all he cared about was a nice car. i couldn't relate..

I gave him 5 mins out of pity and kept it pushing. That suit was gone in a couple weeks.

I usually tell these people im not chasing down anyone to invite them into anything... Period.. Especially since i already have my own shyt going for me now..

“Can I interest you in financial freedom and early retirement?”

Nah but what that throat do?

If somebody think u good for a mlm it’s cuz they think u a mark.

When people ask you to give money to make money scam flags should go off. No matter how good it sounds.

I had a homie get caught up in the Vemma one in college. Dorm room full of enrrgy drinks, thinking he was gonna get a BMW

Knew a girl who was into the weight loss wraps and someone else who sold Advocare products. Both of them scrubbed their social media after they realized they were had.

Damn Primerica still around?

They got a bunch of my buddies in college. They kept dragging me to that shyt even though I said I would be embarrassing. I was in them meetings straight up trolling

I was chilling in the park with my dog and this dude comes up to me and asked me about it's breed. So after like 10 mins, he hits me with the Primerica angle . All the folks that I know who work for that company are just lazy fukk ups that constantly make bad life decisions.

Be smarter OP. I know times are hard but you should know better

Bruh I ain't got money to blow like that

 

[King Sun]

drinking that primerica koolaid
Invested in 2 stacks and lost that shyt. Sold him on that"financial freedom" dream. They targeting military cats tough now. I tried to warn him he kept quoting they bs sales pitch. Called me ready to go ape shyt on them folks
is there a way to sue or something?

Crazy how they target black/brown communities the most . They want people that are desperate to make money and they get people like your bro selling them on no longer having a 9-5 while that 2 stacks went to his "district manager"

Primeria sells legit insurance, I assume the scam is getting other people to become sales reps?

Most "pyramid schemes" are legally required to offer some sort of product otherwise they can be shut down.

That's why they're usually called "Multi-Level Marketing". They have a product for sale but their real money is in the recruiting (pyramid).

 

[Rusty$hackleford]

In MLM, you, the distributor are the customer. That’s why 90% of them REQUIRE you to make a monthly purchase or else you forfeit a bonus or commission. It’s the way the top insures they will always be income coming is as there is ZERO brand awareness or demand for their products in retail.

Feel sorry for all those rubes that got stuck with those nasty ass XS energy drinks

 

[Mr. Jack Napier]

One of my coworkers from work tried to get me in one a few years back, lol. As soon as got a couple sentences in, I already knew the deal.

The best advice my parents ever gave me was never pay to get a job. I never realized how useful that was until I realized I never got in a pyramid scheme and many of my peers have

Unless it’s a civil service exam.
