Wait a minute, so this wasn't a parody of most coli posters?I've been clowning these pyramid schemes for years. And 2 of my closest homeboys are caught up in this BS. We're all ITs in the DMV making good money, with TS clearances and all. One of my boys, i could see, but this other cat I felt is smart like me. SMH. These fools called me on a Saturday night from a live conference call.They had their platinum sponsor leader or whatever talking his azz off. I couldn't get a word in. All he was saying is "wouldnt u like to only work when you want to" and other magical dreamy shyt. I just hung up. Next day they my boys asked me to join, i was like, I'm not good a selling shyt. I barely hear from these dudes now. These MLMs teach their people to stay away from people who aren't about this fantasy dream bs. This sh"t is crazy, I'm loosing good friend to this shyt.
Now I was back in Louisiana for Mardi Gras getting my hair twist by my ex. I teach this girl so much about life, men, how religion is bs, bcuz i have a lot of love for her and want her to be happy and successful and she has soaked it all up. She's a different person. So she starts telling me about these body wraps, red flags go up. But she's actually pushing a real product. She's cute and in shape so she might sell some and I haven't hard of this shyt. So I didnt go in on her yet.
A few week before i was in Louisiana. My cousin's cousin called me saying she was having a party at my aunt house with a lot of girls, come thru. I get there and I saw a group of old broke black people in the living room, 2 older washed up CAC woman with a powerpoint presentation selling dreams. This is 10pm in the hood hood in Louisiana. Anytime CACs are in the hood that late theyre robbing or get robbed. It was some VIMA or something. I was talking so much shyt, ol girl got mad at me, but couldn't kick me out of my aunts house. She didn't want me to get no snacks. I was saving my people. Their startup fees were 500$ and 1000$.
I clown these shyts so much, at work people actually think I'm a real MLM advisor. I try to get folks to sign up and shyt. Tell them we have some heavywieghts coming into town this week. We're meeting at the Motel 6. :lol: Just clowning

Nice try. You had us fooled, but like every liar, you took it too far. No one is this obtuse. Try again later.

:
One breh makes 8,000 a month, the other makes 24,000, the other, 5,000. Broad makes 5,000 a month after a few weeks. There really is a sucker born every minute. I'm weak.
I thought we were smarter than this.

the dude damar kashedout talkin bout he makes 24K a month
that level of income is reserved for .000004% of all the people who sign up. the likelihood of a bunch of people all on the same team all making tangible money is damn near impossible when you think about it mathematically.
Word.
Some insurance companies do this as well. I was young and ambitious, about to graduate from college, updated my resume and got an interview with Aflac. Now, I'm thinking, wow that was fast, check out the company because I've seen the commercials (who hasn't) then I go to the interview and it's a group interview. Much like a lot of these pyramid schemes, they try to sell you on the rewards and the trips you can qualify for. But they wanted you to pay for the insurance license training and the test... oh and after you did all that they give you a partial reimbursement. But the real shady shyt that I peeped was how they were on some, "You shouldn't sell a product or service that you don't have yourself"... now that sounds good, but a lot of people were broke looking for a job... it wasn't like these people were getting paid a salary or hourly, so they essentially wanted broke people to sign up for some insurance policies off the jump and I'm guessing the head of the office got a cut of all of those plans
I swear selling insurance can be a straight up struggle experience.
The office I was at eventually wanted people to pay for the office space. Wanted people to voluntarily come in (it's commission based) and cold call like they're at a 9-5. I never did that shyt, and after a few months of seeing how the job worked I knew it wasn't for me
