They don't have any proof.

I actually am a licensed insurnce agent/broker/producer and I would never associate myself with Primerica cause of the terrible reputation behind it.
Do tell because I know my sister was doing it for a minute and as far as I know they just try to sell you life insurance and securities

1st Round Playoff Exits
My friend is so passionate about it. I noticed in all of our convos, she tries to slide in a pitch about the company. I'll usually deflect by changing the topic. She posted pictures of a $1k check they awarded her. I don't know if it was for bringing in ppl or what. I know it's a pyramid scheme but I can't find much info about it.
1k ain't even all that

there's a new ponzi scheme that I just heard about today

it's called eSUSU "lending and savings"...it's Nigerian (several other African countries have them as well under different names).

Basically, a bunch of people pool their money, and week a different participant takes from the pool...classic ponzi scheme. Just watch out cause Nigerian folks are hustling people out here.

I know someone who got got with this.

It was like a light bulb went off in their head when i said "why dont you just save your money on your own?"

A few weeks later she told me she quit but had to pay a few more times because her turn withdraw had recently past.

Just saw this, was looking for a good MLM thread to up:lolbron:


I do want to point out all the MLM's John Oliver talks about that we never heard of. Folks were clowning like only dumb nikkas get caught up in schemes like 5Linx and Primerica, but in reality dumb crackers just get caught up in different MLMs :mjpls:

Ayyy so I saw my nikka at work. We haven't talked since the time I came in here talking shyt about his world Ventures / dreamtrips.

Anyway I guess he made it to Vegas, his first time. He showed me a receipt he paid like $52 dollars for a plane trip. Stayed in an OK hotel, wasn't Ballin like Diddy or nothin....he was talking to a dude we was talking about football and I'm a Raiders fan and we were talking about Vegas and my boy was like "this other company I work for just sent me there....." Started showing some generic pics:sas1: then started showing pics of him in front of the fountains and shyt:hubie:
