Thats a legal cover to keep the FTC off their ass. Most of the time the products are not being sold because they are not products that anyone wants. The "distributors" have to end up buying their own product to move it.

These companies are nothing new but are regurgitations of the original Amway back in the 70's who went through numerous lawsuits and was able to perfect their pyramid scheme by fronting with a "product". All of these companies are just copies of the original Amway. Nothing but a new way to take advantage of the mentally weak and economically disadvantaged.

not really....

there are some that have real products

These motherfukkers favorite line once you mention it's a pyramid is "Your Job is pyramid:troll:"

:mjlol::camby:
Breh a cat I knew who was involved in a pyramid scheme used to use that line on me all the time. :russ: For what it's worth though he eventually left that shyt behind and started his own legit business and is doing well for himself. :ehh:

Whenever a nikka tries to put me onto a pyramid scheme, I immediately end the convo and cease contact.

I remember seeing friends hyping up MLM shyt on social media. All I could do was :snoop:

Three years ago when I was out of school struggling to find a real job, a breh approached me at my retail job after seeing me a couple times talmbout he had a business and he could use some help

I thought it was real

I met dude and his wife at a hotel restaurant, had drinks and food. This nikka was in Herbalife :snoop: I never wanted to snuff somebody so bad.

1 because he wasted my time. I was working two jobs too so my time was precious and i was tired AS fukk.

2 because he made me feel like an idiot for coming

3 because he pulled his wife into his nonsense. Too innocent and naive to know her husband was a dumbass and he got them into a pyramid scheme.

I told dude it was a pyramid scheme. If your whole reasoning for existing is to put people in your downline, then its a scam. After I embarrassed him, dude tried to stunt on me because I was working retail at that point on some "good luck with your career then". I hope I see that nikka soon. I wanna ask him how his "business" doing :mjgrin:

Going to admit I signed up for two of those

People feeding into my ego is probably a huge weakness of mine

I was apart of WV for almost a year and never made money but I would always go to Fort Lauderdale for regional meetings

I regret it sooo much

Like this one older Jamaican woman was feeling me and I brought that shyt up now she probably think I was an idiot smh

Sometimes I feel that crypto is a pyramid scheme especially the alt coins. You get more money the more people buy in

:gladbron: oh did you but vfg coin. It went up 20℅. Making so many gains bro you should buy in

:jbhmm:hnmm maybe if I put 1000 dollars worth I can make a profit


3 weeks later : it's so volatile thT you loose half your profit :beli:

4 months later ::gladbron:omg crypto has been so good to me I gotta tell my friends to buy into zdf, I know thT coin is going to have serious gains

MLM's prey on the weak and starving.

When I was 18, I got suckered into Vector Marketing/Cutco.

Ad said $16.00 an hour. I was like word :leon:

Got there and nikka was talking about "being your own boss...do you wanna run your own office in 3 months :rudy:...do you wanna be rich :rudy:" I knew 5 minutes in it was a crock of shyt. Now I'm older, those dudes were fukkING LOSERS man because some of them were clearly in their 30s and should've known better. I came back the next day though because my mom made me go one more day. And they took us to a conference in Baltimore. FELT LIKE A fukkING CULT. I really wanted to leave, go downtown and catch a greyhound back home. Whole vibe was on some Jim Jones shyt and not the rapper. The moment we got home, I threw them knives in the garbage and blocked their number. You can make alot of money in this world if you learn to successfully prey on people's hopes and desires because that much was evident from that day but, of course, you have to truly be an immoral soulless human being. shyt is sad man.

nikka I was ambushed by my own sister with this pyramid bullshyt. I met her for lunch one day and she had a couple of chicks with her that I assumed were her coworker friends. Right after we ordered the food them moafukkas started in on me and one of those chicks actually had the nerve to ask me for my credit card number so that she could charge me with some kind of monthly fee or some dumb shyt like that. I didn't give that moafukka nothing and I told them that that dumb shyt was a fukking pyramid scheme. Those moafukkas, including my own sister had the nerve to get mad at me and they ended up calling me an "employee"or some dumb shyt like that. Needless to say I own my own business and those nikkas were the ones moonlighting off of their regular jobs with the stupid pyramid scheme. That's right. They all had regular full time jobs, but they were doing that stupid pyramid side hustle shyt and going around talking about how they are not employees; so don't even try to figure that shyt out.

All I could do was :beli: to stop myself from reaching across the table to choke out my own sister.

Yup breh. They specifically tell people to target their family members. And if the family member is hostile to the idea, they advise them to cut them out their life. It's a cult basically. I know the religious ones like Primerica are heavy on their "employees" dating each other. So you end up marrying someone who is also in the scheme, in hopes of raking in some wedding gift money or whatever. smh

I had a lady and a dude try that with me

They was scared as fukk when i lied to they face saying " that's a pyramid scheme and i know cause i spent 5 years in prison as part of one similar to yours "

You should have saw they reaction:dwillhuh::merchant:

I think when they left me alone with their bullshyt they drove around the corner and threw that bullshyt in the trash..

I always say i been to jail to Motherfukkers who come up to me with bullshyt like that

I am going to have to steal that line immediately and hold some rep.

Genius line. That shyt shuts down any objection of the sort.

Earlier this year I got talking to a chick in a club I then run into her later on in the night and she asks for my number so i'm like
full
thinking she coming on to me.
The next day she asks when im free as she would like to meet up and i say shyt im free whenever you want me to be :shaq:.
Turns out this chick was just trying to invite me too these acn business meetings disguised under 'when can you meet up with me' texts.
Bytch was inviting me to these 'business opportunities' on a weekly basis until i told her i don't fuk with pyramid schemes. I really thought she wanted the d but she wanted my soul instead :hhh:

I told my pyramid scheme story in that other pyramid scheme thread. When I signed up I knew it was a pyramid scheme but the draw of having an extended family is what got me. Yep they will prey on your weakness

This is why I don't even tell people I'm an entrepreneur. I've had way too many people try to reel me in to some MLM shyt.
