My recent encounters with MLM pyramid scams: WAKEUPNOW, VISALUS, 5LINX and LIMU

I recorded a MLM phonecall I was in a couple years back, I'm gone edit out the names and upload it in the next few days

So, I met a breh working on a TV production. We worked together for a couple days and he seemed like a cool breh. Bout a week later he hit me up talking bout a business opportunity. I was skeptical, as I am about most things, but I was certain he was probably talking about another production to hop on. It turned out to be MLM, I think it was World Ventures.

He sent me a link to a website to watch some video and then 5 mins later him and the guy above him in the pyramid called me. The other guy (his mentor) is who i'm talkin to first


As you heard it was all about the “Carrot” at the end of the stick, the vacations, not even the work or product to sale. I still don’t know what they sold lol

But let this show y’all in any “high-pressure” sales pitch, just tell them you need time to think it over. Don’t commit. I’m smarter than i was 3 yrs ago, so now I don’t even BS with folks, I straight up say I’m not interested and walk away or hang up.

Second breh came in and said "hey man I feel you"

"so you ready to get started?"

The sad part is that these tactics actually work on some people

This Egyptian kid I delivered pizzas with a couple years ago was heavy on that bullshyt vemma drink shyt. Most of the time we were just sitting around in the restaurant waiting to get sent out so he'd always be pitching everyone around. He was trying to get the Colombian dishwashers family involved, for shame
Constantly talking about "everyone at the meeting last night was mid 20s pushing Audis", yeah fukking right. Had all these magazines and literature with the"founders" living lavish.

Talking about "what can my business school teacher teach me, he makes 50k a year" and shyt

One day he came to work rolling off a Molly for no reason and got pulled over for running a stop sign outside the restaurant

Bum ass

Shout out to all of the MLM promoters who have moved onto Cryptocurrency - promoting lending ponzi schemes and touting $500 “bitcoin master classes”

When they all started hopping into Crypto in mid-2017 everything was doing well, it was tough to NOT make gains. How these guys have an active audience who would pay $500 to learn free info from them blows my mind

If you google any of the big internet famous MLM guys, “scammer” will autocomplete for you. Its funny that most of these guys have been bouncing around from one scam to another for the last 5+ years, selling dreams and ripping off vulnerable people who can afford it the least. These idiots STILL follow them too “Damar u r killin it , put me on big bro im tryna get like u, fukk this school shyt”

swear to god I am like a magnet for these

A girl at my work JUST asked me what I'm doing for my mom for mother's day. I looked at her like and she quickly hit the so I said "I dunno yet"

She then says "Have you thought about getting her makeup, every woman loves to feel beautiful, I could even do her makeup for you"

I looked at her like but then obviously realized..."this chick works at the same place I work... why/how is she selling makeup?"

I said "You sell makeup"

"Yea! I work with a company called Maskcara...I'm a makeup artist through them"

I tell her "I'll probably do flowers and lunch, but if I need anything I'll let you know"

I looked them up...sure enough, an MLM

The logo/graphic even incorporates a damn pyramid

when pyramid scheme dummies call themselves "entrepreneurs" and their fellow dummies their "business partners"

My own aunt and her friends schemed my mom (her sister), my sister, my uncle (her brother) and 4 of their 1st cousins out of damn near 15 stacks with that Susu shyt a couple months ago

shyt tore apart my family fukk whoever created pyramid schemes

Damn, what’s the status with the aunt now?

My ex is form St. Croix and does that Susu shyt, but she would stay broke and never have any money cause she was always giving into this pool

Are these nikkas still doing this?

I remember their “lifestyle” videos of private jets and fast cars that you could get from selling washing powder to family members and friends
