story #1: some primerica rep was trying to do a "financial education" class in the fukking library of all places
i walked by the room- three people listening to her- "think of your children":usure:
the whole thing seemed dusty as hell:scust:

story #2: guy in a wrinkled suit hustling people at mcdonalds
motherfukker looked like columbo :mjlol:
he was trying to recruit two younger guys
(something to do with energy drinks)
one was squirming- he appeared alert- this was a scam
but was staying to make sure his friend didn't get trapped
..didn't matter.. other dude in camo pants didn't have the $300 initiation fee :mjcry:
they got up to leave..
one of them had his entire family sitting in a battered car waiting for the "meeting" to be over :dead:
:lupe: i half-expected he would need to add some motor oil before starting it up

:dead: those dudes were just sloppy.

In most cases, these nikkas are real slick and good at presenting this false lifestyle. They will rent the nice whips for IG/Facebook, get a good fitted suit, and talk that talk.

People don't care to do any research tho, just some ":gladbron:you see how he's living on FB/Instagram", and they are sold.

Back in high school my old friend tied to put me on the wakeupnow pyramid scheme saying, "we're both going to be rich bruh." My reaction was :ohhh:, but on the I the inside :comeon:. Of course these pyramid scheme don't like to give the money back, but lucky me that wells fargo were able to get my money back within the same day I was trying to get my money back:lolbron: and those people from wakeupnow were trying to get me to come back and give them the money.
They've given up in the end thou:banderas::win::umad:

MLM could be a dope ass business model
if nikkas used it the right way instead on some
get rich quick scheme shyt
I don't see why people just don't make their own MLM schemes and startoff at the top instead of following somebody else and start from the bottom. You're gonna be doing the same work
