Old "friends" suddenly come out of the woodwork!
On another sub someone was asking how they could politely decline a social invitation from an old friend from school that they hadn't seen or talked to in a very long time. Along with the different suggestions that people gave, every other response said, "RUN! They want to sell you MLM!" And this probably explains why people who I haven't spoken to in several years ghost me whenever I contact them. LOL 🤣😂🤣
And I get it because through the small talk I mention that I'm doing great financially. I make good money, I have financial freedom, passive income, more time to do the things I enjoy, etc. and that's about the time that they're ready to end the call. Then it clicks in and I realize what I just said. "No! Noooo.. You don't understand. That's not what I mean. This is MY thing.. that I worked hard for..." Uh huh.. yeah... that's what all MLMers say.
So my question for the group today is this:
When was the last time an old obscure friend or acquaintance reached out to you to sell an MLM?
How weird was the interaction? How did you remove yourself from the conversation and future conversations? Or did you fall into the trap hook, line, and sinker? How long did they beat around the bush before they told you the REAL reason for the phone call?
As for myself I got a phone call from this woman who used to work for my parents. It was one of those "tech" MLM's where they sell you internet phones, cheap cell phones and tablets, cloud storage service, and a bunch of other tech knick-knacks that nobody really wants or needs. This was around 2016 and so I'm sure it probably sounded exciting to someone who didn't know the difference. But she was trying to peddle it to me.. an IT guy with his own IT business who KNOWS that stuff is GARBAGE.
I politely declined at first but after she kept persisting I told her exactly what I thought about it. She got defensive and said, "I'm really surprised and disappointed. You're an IT GUY. YOU SHOULD KNOW THIS STUFF IS TOP QUALITY.

bills until I get a real job.
But what would you all say, does this sound like an MLM scam? I honestly can’t tell, possibly because of all the brainwashing they had me go through. If it is, I’d love to try and get this reported. The whole premise was to make enough to qualify for a leadership position. Then once you were a leader you could become an assistant manager, then an owner, them more. You were always supposed to be able to grow but it just never felt like I could get off the ground. Maybe I really was just not good at the job. Who knows.

Granma almost got sucked into a YoungLiving scam
I happened to be visiting my grandma yesterday at her store. A customer came in, a lady about her age and the conversation got onto the aches and pains that come with being 80.
This asks my grandma about essential oils and my ears perked right up. I was standing near the other end of the counter (It's a very long, straight counter with the register and other things in the center. They were standing at the checkout spot on the left and I was on the empty space near the right end where grandma sorts through and inspects the consignments.
I listened to see where this was going and sure enough this lady starts in about how she's got bone spurs in her neck and after applying essential oils to her skin, it DISSOLVED HER BONE SPURS???
She also has a chiropractor that she goes to in a nearby town. I can't speak on that since go to one myself but she says he's really easy to get into so..idk maybe that's a sign lol The one I go to is easy to get in with as well but you still have make an appointment and it's usually a few days out. She made it sound like you can just walk in to this guy.
I digress.
I took a few steps back and shook my head as the lady spoke, hoping Grandma might notice and get the hint but she didn't. This lady gave her the name "Young Living" and "GC" which is just...another branch of YoungLiving. She also gave the chiropractor's name.
After she left I told Grandma not to mess with that Young Living stuff, it's a pyramid scheme (Wasnt' sure if she'd know what MLM meant or Multi Level Marketing) and that if an essential oil could dissolve bone spurs, then wouldn't it also dissolve her actual bones too?
Like..how would an oil know the difference and know to dissolve the spurs and not the bone? If this really worked, it would be massive in the medicine industry and not just some good smelling liquid that SAHMs go into debt for.
That was a nother thing too. I didn't want her dumping money into snake oil when she's got enough on her plate as it is and that shit doesn't work for anything except aromatherapy and the shit that Tea Tree oil is good for. Worse, I didn't want them trying to recruit her or convicing her to let them use her store to shill their bullshit.
Hopefully this isn't a recurring issue. It was lucky that I was there but I'm not always around. I was surprised she didn't immediately brush it off. She's a pretty smart lady actually and it's always a laugh whenever she picks up the phone and find there to be a scammer on the other end. She picks up on it right away and sometimes fucks with them a little.
I was pretty confident that we wouldn't have to worry about Grandma, she's sharp AF still but I guess now I should be a little more observant just in case.
We are in a small town too so I'm sure this MLM shit is like..more concentrated.

The cat that got away
I’ve always wanted to share this story. I’ve been approached by so many Huns but my least favorite experience was probably about 12–13 years ago. A large shelter was doing an adoption event at a nearby Petsmart. I fell in love with a cat and asked someone working there about adopting her. She had me fill out the adoption application. We made small talk, but then she brought up how amazing her second job at primarica was. Cue the internal tears. I ended up filling out the wrong information because I was afraid she’d take my information from the application to contact me about joining her MLM instead of reaching out about the cat. I was really young and didn’t know how to speak up for myself, so I walked out of there really sad. I always wonder how that cat is doing.

I Need Help!
I got a job at this company called "Empire Management Group" what they told me I had to do was "Meet customers at their home that are about to switch or thinking of switching to a different provider and have them stay with Lumen". After I just got a phone call from them saying I was hired, I decieded to look them up, and only found two reddit posts with both showing them in negative regard.
Look I really need this job, and I'll do just about anything to make a sale, sorry but I NEED 15K in 3-4months.
Is this a real job? Can I make decent money here? What is this place?

I think I was in an MLM
Hey, I just wanted to share my story about a job I recently quit because it seemed a bit like an MLM scheme. Honestly I wasn’t sure because it wasn’t on that master list, but either way the business seemed really strange.
As a little background, I was on a contract for a completely different company and the contract ended up being cut short by 2 months and they gave us less than 2 weeks to find a new job or be unemployed. So to say I was desperate for a job would be a bit of an understatement.
This company in Savannah, Georgia, is known as Clear Path Executives. I saw an ad on Indeed that they were hiring a new event manager. I’d never done anything like that before but it seemed like a pretty easy setup. The job was to set up and host fundraisers for non-profit organizations. That sounded great, I love helping people, so helping people as a job seemed like a dream come true. I managed to land a phone interview, then a video one. The video interview is where things stayed to feel fishy. They mentioned the pay. I’d get paid a base hourly rate but most of my pay would be based on how many donations I would get, not too bad. They even said I could make over $1,00 a week if I did really well with my donations. I was a little skeptical, but when they offered me a position starting the week after my contract ended, I jumped on it (not wanting to be unemployed).
So the the first day, they go more in depth on the pay. Hourly, but it’s only $8 an hour. Not great, like at all. Then they went more into detail on the donations. For every donation I received, I would be paid 30% of the amount for a one time donation. We were really trying to encourage monthly donations though, so they’d match whatever monthly amounts I made at 100% (assuming they did not cancel their monthly payments like a week or so in). That’s not so bad then, so I just need people to donate to help our breast cancer, surely that won’t be too hard!
When I finally arrived to my first fundraising event, I realized how much of an impossible task this was. Not only were we not allowed to take any cash donations (lots of people loved to try and handle cash, but I was never allowed to take it), but the minimum donation people could give as a one-time donation was $30. You could make a $20 donation, but that had to be monthly. I thought I was doing well at first. I was making around $100 - $150 in donations for the non-profit! However that did not equate to a whole lot for me.
I started to really question things when someone I was asking for donations from mentioned that he looked into our non-profit (the one we worked for was United Breast Cancer Foundation) and found online that a large percentage of his donations would actually be going to ceos rather than to the people who need it. I was mortified, so I called my boss and she denied this. She said that the article he was citing was outdated. That had to explain it. I kept getting frustrated with how they were acting about the donations. They kept saying I could do better, I could get more people to donate if I just pushed harder. I needed to encourage higher amounts, monthly donations. I had to keep doing more. It finally hit me when we sat down and I wrote down all my bills for the month, then they helped me calculate how much should be making a day in donations to Mae sure my bills were paid. I needed to make around $300 in one time donations to pay my bills. And maybe it would have been possible if we weren’t constantly being stationed in front of dollar trees and bargain bin stores, you know where broke people like myself shop? But this just wasn’t working. I tried to be courteous and give a proper 2-week notice, but when I told my boss she just said they don’t do two weeks so I’m either staying or leaving. I ended up choosing to leave. So, despite my best efforts, I’m back at square one. I am not unemployed, luckily since I was laid off prematurely at my last job I have been able to qualify for unemployment so fingers crossed that all goes through and I can at least pay part of my

WFG story
My brother he keeps giving the mentor and the company $150 or more. What he does he is staying 2-3 hours zoom call all week non stop. Mandatory meeting like WHAT. Even the conversations are mandatory too according to his mentor telling him. My brother keeps asking close friends aka his clients to join the zoom call. Most the meetings is about to get 40k in 3 months which is bs. Ik this is a pyramid scheme. I even showed him comments that people joined lost a lot of money and didn’t earn a single dollar. Does anyone know Adam he is a mentor and he is pushing my brother over edge. If anyone knows him or Nima lmk. What’s is crazy he is not working a real job just only scamming people. He keeps telling different stories to help clients for easy tips for taxpayers and how to be a millionaire in 3-6 months. It sucks now because he is not listening to nobody only Adam his MENTOR and so called trainers tffff!!!!!

Have a Zoom call scheduled today
This girl i knew from highschool has been spamming her social media page with MLM nonsense for years now, and I finally got tired of it and decided to pretend to sign up. I'll be entering and recording a Zoom meeting with her and her mentor (at least I think thats how it will go) and have some loose notes and research to confront them with.
It's an Anagic Kangen water MLM team and I just want to have some things straight before I confront them.
- The distinction between a MLM and Affiliate Marketing.
- Why their 'unique' structure makes it fundamentally different than a normal MLM (they claim that because you eventually break free from the people above you with each commission, so therefore its not a traditional MLM)
- Do they actually just straight up sell the water ionizer? I've never seen one of them specifically advertise the items themselves.
- Whether or not they are just flat out lying about getting money.
- Are they sales people? Contractors? What's their title?
These points would be nice for me to have clarity on for a strong argument so that they really have nothing to say to me. Feel free to throw more points or statistics at me!
