Avon Lady called the cops on me
Worked a craft show this weekend. I make coin rings for folks, they pick out a quarter and I can make it into a ring for them in under 4 minutes, sized perfectly. This was my 4th time working this fair, it's small and in the middle of nowhere, and every year this Avon lady gives me the stink eye; has even accused me of "stealing her customers". She was supposed to not come back to the show after a previous incident, but someone new is running it and let her back in.
Today the cops showed up looking for me (day 2 of the craft show) and said they got a report of someone defacing currency. I have a print out/flyer of the actual law I keep on me at all times. The key word is "fraudulently" defacing. I am up front and honest that once I make a piece of jewelry, it can no longer be used as currency. They had a good laugh about it and actually bought a few rings off me. They scolded her a bit, but since it wasn't technically a false report, no other action can be taken. I just smile at her and never give a negative vibe. but god I can't stand her.

I attended a Qnet event and it was very entertaining
I attended a Qnet event at Onomo hotel in Durban, South Africa, today and all I can say is it was very entertaining. They kept on saying ‘it’s not a pyramid scheme’ and even had a table to show the difference between Qnet and a pyramid scheme but I was not surprised each time I could literally draw a pyramid from the graphics they showed. It reminded me of that scene from the office where Jim drew a pyramid on the white board while Michael was presenting a money making scheme, it was exactly that except I was drawing the pyramid in my head and was just laughing to myself every time.
They kept on saying all the talking points you can already think of, you know, your job is a waste of time, do this and you will be a millionaire within the next three years. Oh and they called it ‘Network Marketing’ just to avoid the term ‘Multilevel Marketing’ but like, it’s the same thing, not sure who they think they were fooling with that. Safe to say it was all just entertainment for me, I really hope the others who were there were not really falling for these things. Be safe out there guys.

Can these "consultants" not see how annoying they are?
One of my friends got sucked into selling jewelry. She's intelligent, has a good-paying day job, lovely family, etc. I get constant messages from her about hosting parties, buying shit, signing up to be a consultant, etc. Are they blind to how annoying they are?? Or do they know and just not care?

I think I got lucky joining the only "ethical" MLM out there...
For the record, and for obvious reasons which I'll get into - I'm no longer working for this place. I say "ethical" in quotes, because obviously, it was still an MLM deploying the same "never stop selling" method of direct sales that so many of those do. That being said, was I just beyond lucky to have joined that one I did, because I did not lose money, I had never had to invest money in the company, and they actually did prioritize sales and getting better at sales over recruitment? Yes, the sales tactics were very Wolf of Wall Street, but somehow, our boss always insisted on doing things by the book, not manipulating customers, not preying on the elderly and uninformed, and overall just trying to be genuinely persuasive about what was potentially a good product without lying to people (it was clean energy supply sales btw). There were actually competing offices that were contracted by the same company who I literally saw camped up on corners in the ghettos, walking up to random people in parking lots, and pulling lots of the scummy MLM desperate grind behavior I'd seen numerous folks in our office get straight up fired for. Meanwhile we had actual higher-up corporate contracts with a bunch of businesses throughout the city who liked the product and agreed to let us sell on their property. The more horror stories I read from people, the more I realize that of all the MLMs I could have accidentally gotten caught up with, I got MAD lucky. That being said, it was still very much an MLM. Despite sales being the first and foremost goal with almost all new recruits coming from Indeed and such, I left because I was fortunate enough to have realized what I got myself into when I realized how the business operated, and saw how other offices pedaling the same product were actually just straight up pyramid schemes. I also naturally lost a lot of respect for the company that would employ these other scammy-ass offices and prey on folks in the hood, since those people literally cannot afford what is a more premium product. All being said, the office was certainly making numbers and profiting a ton without lying to folks and screwing-over its employees despite the fact it exhibited almost none of the messed up practices I've noticed most people talk about on this subreddit. Did I just get lucky? And if I did, why do so many operate the way they do when doing it "right" was working just fine (financially - yes I know the "pyramid" shape is still the bottom line issue).

Should I ghost an MLM?
Long story short like 95% sure I fell for an MLM scam called Excalibur leadership academy based in Newport Beach CA. I signed a contract w my bank details already but I want out. Should I just ghost? The contract was like an independent contractor contract. I can just block the dude (Alexander milstein, Russian or British dude not sure, please look him up, very little details abt him online) right? Please let me know what to do here.

Ugh, I got the old "Hey, girl" DM- another acquaintance has gotten sucked in...
...but I can't tell what company it is. To be transparent, I didn't get an actual recruitment pitch in the DM- it was a gushy Happy Birthday message from a woman I don't know like that, so I was suspicious. She's just a friend of a friend that I've met maybe twice that friended me on social media. I didn't respond and went directly to her page to search for clues. It did not take Scooby and the Gang to realize immediately I was correct; long cryptic post after long cryptic post, alluding to an "opportunity" with ALL the usual buzzwords and formatting. But she is staunchly refusing to say the company at all, even posting about how she's tired of people asking because "if I told you the name in a comment section, you'll focus on the wrong parts and miss what really matters". She also will not state what the "opportunity" even is "because you can't plan your future in a DM". How insane is that? She knows people will run screaming if they knew but she's still all in? It's truly mind boggling. And she knows she needs to get you in person, face to face, in order to con you into this, but again, totally willing to do so. Gross. Anyway, the only slight clue I have is there is something called "The 20 KAY Club" involved with this, posted with a 💎 emoji. Is that familiar to anyone? Mostly I just had to come and vent to my fellow haters because how is this still going on in 2026? How are people still falling for this nonsense and these b.s. companies? It's maddening.

Realized inteletravel is essentially just a pyramid scheme. What now?
Hi yall! So my interest in becoming a travel agent came about because I have a family member in the business and she tried to recruit me for inteletravel. I thought, "great! I love travel. I'm sure i'll be good at this." Well, I joined in on one of their zoom calls today and I slowly realized this is an mlm. they barely even talked about travel or how to use their resources, they didn't even mention training at all! they claim it's "not a pyramid scheme" and "you can make money without recruiting people!" But it's clear that doesn't seem to be entirely true.
So what now? I'm about to turn 18 and I graduate high school in a week. I have never had a job before. I'm looking for something to do, I need to make money but I have no idea where to start or what kind of jobs to look for. Is it worth becoming a travel agent or should i look into something else? Please help!

Anyone run into this yet?
The website and premise screams scam and MLM, but I'm not finding much about them on here or other MLM sites.
I'm all for healthy eating, but selling courses and pushing using a 'build coach' that makes money off the sign ups just screams scam.

What is the single most effective piece of anti-mlm media you have come across?
If you had the opportunity to choose only a single documentary, book, or other piece of media (such as a youtube video or podcast episode) to show to an MLM hun (in particular, one of the essential oil kind who went down the whole natural lifestyle to conservative pipeline) to really display how dangerous and unethical the MLM industry is, which one do you think would be the most convincing?
I've researched this topic to no end as I grew up with a mom who tried Mary Kay, Arbonne, Norwex, and is currently in Doterra (most of her friends are involved in MLM as well). I have thought for a long time about if she allowed me to recommend her a piece of anti-mlm media, what I would consider to be the most effective in getting through to her in any way. I wonder if anyone here has some insight into this given that a lot of anti-mlmers have been in these companies and maybe were exposed to something like this that really made them question what they were involved in.
I'm obviously not expecting anything magical to happen given that MLM indoctrination is no joke, but I would love to hear what people in her boat might respond to.

Nu skin involvement
Hi everyone, I’m posting here because I’m getting increasingly concerned and I want an outside perspective before things get worse.
My mom recently got into Nu Skin through a cousin of hers. The thing is, she really trusts this cousin because she’s a doctor, and in the Philippines doctors are highly regarded so whatever her cousin says, she tends to take very seriously.
So far it’s been about two months. I’ve also been using their complete skincare products and their "health pills" ie: soap, facewash, lotion, the pills with just crushed tea leaves in it, cold cream, and while they’ve helped to some extent, I’ve actually seen better results in the past with a 2 piece Garnier serum and facewash . Given the price, they don’t seem sustainable to keep using long-term.
Also this new product: prism io having worked on tech theres no fucking way an "ai finger print scanner" can detect anti oxidants and how healthy you have been all your life
From what I’ve been observing and estimating, my mom has already spent around ₱200,000 (\~$4,000 USD). What worries me more is that this money wasn’t just extra cash—it came from a business loan she took out, supposedly to fund this as a “side hustle.”
I’m not against her trying something new or earning extra income, but the structure of this is starting to feel off.
I’m worried she might be too influenced by her cousin’s authority and not questioning the model enough. I don’t think she fully sees the financial risk she’s taking on, especially since it involves bank money.
if they’re actually making money vs just spending more?
I'm in their Philippines 2026 success convention something something at this time of writing and all of it just feels off, testimonies, sob stories, foreigners speaking with generic advice that ive read somewhere in a self help book.
I’m trying to handle this carefully because I don’t want to damage our relationship, but I also don’t want to sit back if this is heading somewhere bad.
Any advice would help. Thanks.

My mom’s friend got her into Herbalife and now she wants to continue even after I warned her. What do I do?
My mother’s friend convinced her to start Herbalife products last month.
She used it for around 1 month, and now that friend is again pushing her to continue for another month.
I’ve tried explaining to my mom that Herbalife is a shady MLM company, the products are overpriced, and there are many reports online about side effects / liver issues / digestive problems etc. But every time I tell her this, she just says things like:
“Arre it’s only for one month more.”
“I’m old now, nothing will happen.”
“You worry too much.”
She says it in a sarcastic way like I’m overreacting.
The bigger problem is that her friend keeps emotionally convincing her that it’s “healthy” and “natural,” so my mom trusts her more than actual research.
I honestly don’t know how to stop this without sounding disrespectful or starting a fight.
Has anyone dealt with parents getting trapped into Herbalife or similar MLM wellness products?
How do you convince someone older who thinks herbal/natural automatically means safe?
Need practical advice.

Why do all my friends keep ending up in mlm schemes?
Like the title says, it seems more and more of my friends are joining mlms these days — smart, successful, well-employed people who I never would have suspected to be so gullible.
It hurts because these are people I’ve known for years. People over the age of 40. People who have watched my children. People who I’ve invited into my home. People I would expect to have developed a basic level of intellect about general business practices. And I always feel so foolish when the mlm call comes because I think they are reaching out for genuine connection. Literally my heart sinks when I find out it’s regarding their “new business.”
Last month, we invited over a new group of people for game night and it went really well. So tonight, when one of the couples reached out to ask about plans on Saturday, I naturally thought they were reciprocating with an invitation to dinner or games, etc. Well, it was a party they were inviting us to, but not hosted by them — it’s for the launch of their new business called “New Art of Living.” They are advertising cake and champagne at the local Crowne Plaza. “You’ll love it” my friend said.
This is the first I’ve heard of “New Art of Living” but I could smell the mlm stank on it from a mile away. As much as I am a masochist about social niceties and would begrudgingly drag myself there and smile and act interested, there is no way in hell my husband would entertain any of it. So now I get to politely and deftly excuse myself out of a night that I already (stupidly) told my friends that I had free.
