Feel sorry for all those rubes that got stuck with those nasty ass XS energy drinks
Yo recruiter will bring a cooler of those out at a meeting at a local Starbucks. I learned early about these scam ass pyramid schemes coming out of high school. I do not see how grown folks fall for this.

Breh I had a nikka try me when I was a BANKER. Talking bout “you just want to spend the rest of your life make other people money?”
“Something something something something all I need is you to write down 20 friends and family members you know”
“Something something something something all I need is you to write down 20 friends and family members you know”
Yo this Asian chick did this to me when I was getting food. Talking about random shyt and then asked me if I wanna join some shyt lmfao.Basically they get you to sell life insurance to extended family members friends and once your social network drys up your job switches over to recruiting friends to sell insurance for you (with the hopes of them selling to people in thier network).
And if you are a real primerica scumbag you'll hang out in malls and walmarts making random conversation with strangers before handing them your primerica business card asking them to check out a 30 minute presentation

Oh that shyt use to happen to me all the time in my early 20s
I remember being in Walmart just shopping around for a basketball or some 40-year-old white guy approached me talking about the Lakers (shaq and kobe days). Then after about 2 minutes he threw out a business opportunity of earning residual income, because you know, he could tell I had a good head on my shoulders
Then another time I was just shopping at Macy's and a 30 year old breh had once again made casual conversation with me about some lacoste shirts before telling me about this business meeting that could earn me $50k on the side.
I took the bait and actually went to the seminar and lo and behold it was a Primerica meeting with 40 people in the audience
. And Sadly everyone in that seminar was black and between 17 to 30 years old. It was almost as if we were all targeted.
Some ex football player did a sales pitch and he was basically bragging about how he's making more doing this than when he was playing ball and the money he was throwing around got the crowd HYPED
. It was a total waste of time but it was an experience I can use to warn friends and family from joining those things.darealvelle

Facts my g!! Like you can tell they want something, but if you aren’t familiar with MLM you really don’t know what they want.Oh that shyt use to happen to me all the time in my early 20s

The Asian chick looked a good few years older than me, so I didn’t think she was flirting, but I didn’t know exactly what she wanted and thought it was friendly convo.
She brought this shyt up to me talking about all this money I could make, and I asked “do I have to pay a fee?” She said yeah, I said I’m good. She said “you don’t know how it’ll be, how can you say no?” I told her I ain’t paying for no job and left it at that.
Before that, I actually went to a Primerica event with someone I knew from work and I won’t front at all, I was hype as fukk. I was working at a grocery store at the time in my teens and was like fukk my job!! I got so hyped watching those examples they used of how life will get better for you.
I tried to get other people to come with me there, but they ain’t want to, so I said fukk it, but it taught me how they roll.

Sorry, that's another B
damn lol most people that get fukked over are usually too ashamed to say anything. This one lady at work was trying to get me to join one recently. Man she was so excited, talking bout all the money she was going to make etc. She called me when she made the investment to the person she was under all "You can't say I didn't tell you about it" "Yea it's cool, just short on cash rn. Let me know how it goes though
"I ain't hear a peep about that shyt. To this day it's never been brought back up
But I know why
These things will bring the desperation out in people....
They make a lot of false claims. I remember when my foster daughter was getting sucked into one of those things, they told her all sorts of lies about who was involved in the company and even showed her a doctored picture that was supposed to be an endorsement from Obama.How do you sue someone else for your own stupidity?
NutraLife had to settle with the government for $200 million for false pretenses.
