who in the fukk would fall for something like that?

i went to a meeting in college for one of these schemes. they advertised around campus saying shyt like "make $25 an hour on your own time, from your own home etc" and i went to one of their meetings. it was for some knives company. cutco maybe. they were like "give us a check for $500 tonight and youll get your first set of knives to sell." :wtf: like 10 minutes in i blurted out "this is a pyramid scheme" and just walked out. what a waste of an time


Vector, them clowns almost got me when I was in HS.

They were begging me to join. "I used to be a Lawyer. Now I make double what I used to make. You too can make this much." Ok, if you really make that much money then why do you want me to join then? :childplease: Then have the nerve to say "it's 99 dollars to start working." The day I pay someone to work is the day 50 Cent can make a hit record after 2006. :childplease:

If you really make paper and make a great opportunity for those who work for you then you don't need to beg people to join you.

When Donald Trump was asked recently what he would do if he had it to do all over again, his matter-of-fact, one-line reply was: "I would get into network marketing."

:ehh:

No surprise there, it's the millionaires who start these schemes and get others to buy into them. The only way the average person is going to make money is by buying when the business is on the ground floor. And that's a small window made to be entered by a small amount. The market gets saturated and then you got people hustling for scraps.
