He didn't tell me much more but said , "hey there is a meeting in the city like 2 weeks from now, wanna go?" He said it was free dinner and he would drive so I figured nothing to lose.....I asked tons of questions but he kept everything REALLY vague and said it would be answered at the meeting....

SO I go to this meeting, everyone is all in suits and looking sharp....big slick presentation about MLM and how much money you could make and only at the very end did they "reveal" that it was Amway.

I was so pissed off I didn't know what to do...I didn't say much on the ride home....

Then like the next day there was this box of crap on my porch.......amway products and catalogs with a note that I owed him 200$...

I left it on my porch, called the dude and told him to come pick up the shit or i was going to throw it away.

The end.

And this sounds like a nightmare.

So, out of all the MLMers out there, you've only purchased one item total from them. This should tell you everything you need to know about these scams. Clearly the money doesn't come from selling the shit. It comes from signing up suckers.

If you can't identify the sucker in a room with someone pushing a pyramid scheme...it's you.

What if you're a sucker towards the top of the pyramid and the company explodes and is around for 50 years? Would decent money be made considering you're towards the top of a successful business?

You obviously want to do this. So do it. Let us know how many millions of dollars you make.

Just don't ask any of us to join your pyramid. It's for fools and losers.

I'm playing dumb right now, just seeing what people say out of curiosity.

If every person signs up just 20 people in their entire career, you can't even get halfway through the seventh level before every human being on the planet is signed up.
