Not really a pyramid scheme but anyone dealt with those Indian fake irs callers? I never seem to answer when they call but I'm liable to fukk with them when I do. Ima act like they calling from ins and not irs.

Scammer: hello sir, I'm calling from the irs.

Me: ins? What you mean? I was born here.

Scammer: no sir the irs.

Me: but I don't understand. Could I be one of those bad hombres that Trump was talking about? :lupe:



Had some guy call me last week about my "computer" :mjpls:
I had this too

Haitians call it susu too. Yes, That's not a ponzi. Everybody that contributes supposed to get paid eventually. It relies heavily on the honor system.

lol of course it's a ponzi scheme...did you not see what happened in Haiti when the co-ops failed? even the police were out there trying to beat the shyt out of the co-op managers...:mjlol:

So about a month back I get a follow request on Instagram from a random local female. I thinking ok maybe she knows me from somewhere or saw my username and decided to follow. I follow back and see that she's into forex trading. Now I've had an interest in that and have done some research but haven't dived too deep or invested any money. So I hit her up and ask her about it. She says to hit her up on messenger since it'll be easier. I hit her up and she sends me a link to watch two videos. This was back on the 19th. That's how much I've been procrastinating and holding back on this forex thing. Today I decide to check out the videos and it's for something called IML. I skimmed thru it and saw some packages for sale for like $200. I'm sitting here like, this bytch just tried recruiting me to a damn pyramid scheme. :damn:

I promptly deleted the conversation. :francis:
Man you should have seen 2016. The forex community was on IML dikk which was an MLM. Then it flopped. And the funny thing is you have these forex "gurus" who are 19-26 years old who just learned forex trading like a year ago. These nikkas are all over facebook. None of them know how to trade.

:mjlol:

The funniest thing is that they say "become a financial professional with me"

How?

You aren't going to certify me with anything
You aren't educated yourself
You aren't a professional at anything
The training "costs" $150-200 a month

So I can be a "financial professional" by paying someone 7 years younger than me who is driving an older model BMW than my benz... here take my money :krs: :mjlol:

No one expected their own family to scam them like that so they threw money into it

It wasn't even just my family, it was my aunts friends and their families and friends too and some Guyanese bytch and her husband ran off with all the bread:wow:
