My boy is in the Forex thing. All the time on Instagram he's posting a whole bunch of people getting into the Platinum club and all this motivational crap. Some seminar had signups for $200 and the deadline was end of December. But surprise surprise, there's a special promo and it's been extended to the 14th of January.

They all post the same shyt. "My team making money. Let me teach you" A whole bunch of trends and shyt. And reposting their teammates stories of them getting to quadruple platinum diamond general status. And all these people making all these racks have the bummiest shyt. I know dudes with no bread and shytty jobs flashing harder than these cats. Maybe they should take lessons on how to front from them. :mjlol:

Exactly!!! :salute:

Let me show you some examples on my Facebook timeline. Sad to see a lot of black people in on this.

My wife's family tried to get us involved in this family share scheme. Sounded like the blessing loom thing

None of it made sense
My friend cousin got her involved and she was desperately asking me to join the call. 5 months later she out of 1400. I tried to tell her it was a pyramid scheme and illegal but she wasn’t hearing me. She got fukked by her own family.

forex the new you should be here

nikka said he make 100 bands a month at 18 :heh:

These dudes aren't even doing any actual Forex either. It's just another front for the pyramid scheme. Instead of selling weight loss items or travel discounts, they sell memberships in their Forex group. The "money" is in recruiting.

Forex is real but is hard to make money in. You're better off playing poker or buying stocks.

Yeah sad times we in. I hit my cousin up on the music tip to try and see where he was at with it, he starts talking to me about Forex and this lil group he in. Bro didn't know I've listen to 10+ pyramid schemes already so I know the game they play. I ain't never text him back after he sent me a text about a discount to join :francis:
