Apparently World Ventures haven't been paying commissions.

A lot of the big time earners with them have left the company.

Lmao I remember back in college my former barber was always trying to ring me into that shyt and clowning me for being in college instead of making money. The first time he told me about it, he gave me a cut and then asked me to follow him to his car. Breh led me into the parking lot, popped his trunk and had all these books and products. He gave me a pamphlet and told me to read up on the shyt. The way he was talking I could tell he was hustling, and later he confirmed it by admitting he wanted to sell me the products so I could sell them to other people.

It's a scam that attracts sharks. Lot of these people know it's bs but want to ring their family and friends into it so they can get money.

Had a call with a Primerica rep today about insurance. I can see why they're on the border of legitimate and pushy MLM

(1) they provide a legit/useful service: Insurance
(2) I didn't feel like I was being fed BS
(3) It's not really scammy

BUT As I progressed through the call and got to the end I realized the offerings are a front for their recruitment,. Which in turn will lead you to sell/recruit your friends and family. EVERYBODY doesn't need to be or is qualified to be an insurance salesman or investment "expert"

It’s sad they are preying on a bunch of people out of work right now. When unemployment runs out in July/August you’ll see them come out the wood work trying to snap up everyone trying to find legit work but struggling

:snoop: These motherfukkers can't be serious right now, especially with all the stuff going on in the country. So my homegirl texts me and says look into this and it something titled "The Underground Railroad" and its some Zoom meeting, which I don't even have installed on my phone. So I ask her "The Underground Railroad?" cuz I done learned about that shyt in like middle school and if she didn't know what that was in her mid 30s then thats her problem. So then she text me back with something about one of her daughters friends mom telling her its a pyramid and she can make like $4500 a month or some shyt like that. I just hit her with the Shaq gif where he laughs and then walks away from the press conference and not even gonna bother explaining shyt she shouldn't be too gullible to not know. I looked up some info and saw this

ain't nothing worst than when a friend or family member gets caught up in this stuff and u can't even attempt to be logical with them on the matter because they'll just interpret it as you shooting down their dreams

this shyt stays destroying families and friendships

people that believe in magical thinking and the law of attraction are really susceptible to being scammed.
