I see people are back on their Pyramid scheme grind. Vol. 5Linx

Anyone here who has had someone dear to them get caught up in a pyramid scheme, how did you break the news to them and hopefully get them back to reality?

I'm really concerned about a friend who is caught up in one (has tried to recruit me on several occasions and actually got mad at me today for not wanting to buy an over-expensive product).

I don't want to be a "discouraging" friend, but I feel our friendship would be a farce if I didn't say something.

Again, if you have experience with this kind of conversation, please share your tips. I'd greatly appreciate it.

Just be straight up with them
Honestly...it IS POSSIBLE to make money with these mlm schemes, but it's extremely tough.
Break it to them then suggest something new. Suggest that they give this a rest, and invest that time into something that can benefit them in the long run.

Give them FACTS. Try and pull up statistics of people that actually succeed with these schemes. Pull up NON-BIASED reviews of the scheme from various websites.

Try not to be condescending but more so supportive and suggestive
 
This girl I know tried to get me to sign up for that paycation ****. I told her it sounded like a juug as soon as she mentioned it
 
So this one girl I kmow who was going hard in the paint for 5Linx has now set up a GoFundMe to support her "dream" of becoming a minister. :lol: :rofl:

I can't make this stuff up. Crazy.
 
I automatically take friends or family trying to hook me on a Herbal Life or It Works scheme as a direct insult to my intelligence.

I haven't messed with them since either.

When I was in Vegas last week there was a big convention for this company Vemma, most of them were kids under 25 trying to talk up their product. Total pyramid scheme, they were all talking about how the top people in the company are rich blah blah blah. One guy was trying to talk to my buddy who is head of marketing for one of the larges micro breweries in the US and was trying to compare their energy drink Verve they push to a micro brewed beer :smh:

The chicks were pretty hot and easy though :smokin
