| BTW, anyone knows the other big pyramid schemes out these days to watch out for? |

I guess a pretty good rule of thumb is "If it sounds too good to be true, it's a scam"
And if you would really want to lose my interest, keep repeating how your scheme is NOT a pyramid scheme. |

technically it isn't a pyramid scheme so it's still legal.
and btw there's a nyTA ( s0t you know him and you've met him :stongue: ) who was into this whole telephone service provider scheme thing 2 years ago or so.
He was regurlaly trying to get me to join and would tell me about some of the success stories in his company etc :stongue: :stongue:
After several months of trying to persuade me he even said he'd pay for part of my fee to join :haha:
Rest assured, I never joined! |

I've been caught up in a scam before, but it wasnt a pyramid scheme.
Bought what i thought was 10 penny sweets in a paper bag, i handed over my money and when i got outside there was only 8 sweets.

me and a friend got dragged into one of theses seminars before.
some chick just approached us while we were walking around in a mall.
we decided to go along because :
a. the chick was hot.
b. we were stoned out of our minds.
c. free flow coffee, tea and snacks.
d. there were other hot chicks there too.
i cant really remember what company it was but it was beauty products. |

| Yah I just applied to a job that was said to be a data entry and typist job but it ended up being a thing where I post ads on the internet but I have to pay them to start doing the job. In my opinion any "job" where you have to pay them first is a scam. |

I always love hearing about when people get pwnd by Marketing/Pyramid schemes...
One of my best friends in HS was convinced he'd get rich of Quixtar, and no matter how many times we'd tell him he was being a naive idiot, he'd just reply with "No, dude this guy got an Escalade and he's like 12!" or "This guy is already retired and he's still a fetus!"
We'd just lol, give it the :rolleyes:, and let him proceed to throw away as much money as he could until he was broke and unable to even afford tuition.
We tried, he pwnd himself. |
