Her mom said someone was coming to the house to do a presentation, this being told to me when i got off work im half ass paying attention.

by the time the afternoon got around i said to myself "a presentation?......:lupe: :beli:" tried to warn my girl and her sister what they were about to listen to, but once the woman starting talking numbers they all gave me the :camby: and signed up

My girl got caught by Primerica for like 2-3 weeks. All you can do is sit back and watch, catch them when they fall, and try not to say you told them so. It took her getting snared into one of those brainwashing seminars and seeing all them clowns catch the unholy ghost and testify to realize that I was right about them. Sat there with the:sas2: :sas1: the whole time.

Yeah, my moms was on that Amway global wave a few years ago. Kept telling me and my bros all about it, trying to get us to sign up.

I was like, "I'm a wait to see how it goes for you first"... haven't seen her talk about it in a minute. :pachaha:

She already works a good job anyway, but she was going hard for that Amway... matter fact, I'm a bout to see her in a few minutes, I'm a ask her what happened with all that.

5 bucks that she says something like "Oh. It's there. It's alright." and that's if pride doesn't make her front like she ain't get got.

Yeah, breh because once they start testifying (talking about how much the mlm has done for them, and how they're living the life and anyone who says anything bad about it doesn't want the best for you and is trying to ruin your life), they acting like they lost their mind, clapping, shouting and acting the fool.

the dude damar kashedout talkin bout he makes 24K a month :aicmon:

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.

clearly the .0004% that make that much are all on his team. :troll:

Everywhere...You never there.
...getting ready to go up to the church with grandma, apparently the pastor told the congregation he has a "great opportunity" for the young people..."Something about prepaid legal"

At the church, tho?

I know a fairly educated duo who jumped on the HerbaLife train late last year. Kinda mildly shocked me because aside from the pro-health aspect of it, it just feels unseemly and I'd think they'd be informed and educated enough to spot that and not get caught up in the frenzy.

One has a really good job, dunno about the other. At first I thought, :ehh: ... And applauded it as something they can do together, and get fit... get others fit, too.

But still something seemed a little :patrice:about how hard they were going with it out of the blue in such assured manner, running with the frenzy.

Now with the fed probe, I'm definitely :patrice:

You just never know ... but their finances seem super straight, so even if they took a hit, it wouldn't effect them as it would others.

And at least they got leaner and fitter ... :manny:

:dwillhuh: what do they do though. what's the product or service.

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

:snoop:

I swear selling insurance can be a straight up struggle experience. :smh:

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
Didn't that F*U*N*E*R*A*L clown get suckered into this scam? I remember him bragging about it. :russ::lolbron::mjlol:
