    Lmfaooo I love when I end up in these compilations!! Thanks for including me!! I HATE MLM'S!!! I lost a very good friend over one of these!! Idk if anyone remembers WAKE UP NOW! around 2013 or so. My friend would show me fake paystubs and stuff. She suckered me out of $115 and I blacked on her when she didn't give it back by the time she said. She said I have a broke persons mindset and that I'll never be successful. We never spoke again!!

      OMG I was just thinking of a past mentor of mine who is very MLMish about how he structures part of his business and he was also raised MORMON! LOL...he is very successful and ambitious but one time he shared the books he was reading with me and one of them was about how to start a CULT! LOL...he also spewed what I perceived to be anti black rhetoric and he became fast friends with the real life Wolf of Wall Street and that's when I completely distanced myself

    As a parent of teenagers who will be out in the world on their own in a few years, I think one of the important conversations I should have with them is how to identify and avoid mlms. They were a new thing when I was younger and I almost got pulled into a few in my 20s but my intuition always said, yuck, no 😂. Not everyone has that so if you have teen soon to be adults, talk to them.

    The meetings the people speaking about, seems creepy. What if someone go sit at one of these meetings, they try to leave. The weird people hosting the meeting lock the people in there.
    I have a major trust problem, I do not trust people. I knew someone years ago that went to one of these scams. The second meeting, they start asking for money.
    I want to retire comfortably, I certainly will not go to strange people get quick rich meetings.

    There are you-tube commercials where you can have your own business and the website is in the name of the people making the videos. If you watch the webinar, they talk about "sales tunnels" and you "won't be bugging friends and family to buy the products". If you pay the 100 bucks or so to join another webinar (a refundable amount) you find out that it's only one product (a water system) and the more units you purchase yourself, the higher the percentage you earn when you sell to others, and they do actually mention selling to friends, family, etc. This is why new recruits make the videos encouraging people to "start your own business", so that they can get other people to buy at least three units (over a thousand dollars or more, I can't remember exact amount but it was high) when they "start their business". They never talk specifically about average annual sales, and most likely all the videos made to recruit new people are actually the advertisements for the product.

I IMMEDIATELY canceled after I got the delivery... and not only did I get ALL my money back (even on the items that were not subject to refund) but according to the help line person I spoke to, I didnt have to return the stuff!!

    I remember when my aunt was wanting to rent a house and the people were with Team National. They wouldn’t stop pushing it on her. She acted like she was interested to get the house. She got it. She also went to a meeting and paid 2000. for a membership. She only ended up buying some emu oil and getting money back from shopping online.

    One other thing I realized that they do is gaslight you to think that "just trying it out" or seeing if its right for you is equivalent to being a "quitter".
    Like, how many people continue to use a shit product after they try it?
    Isnt trying something in the short term a way of finding out if its for you?

      Mormons are great at MLM's. Mormon women are encouraged to be stay at home moms so working from home appeals to them. Anyone who's been on a Mission (women do them too) make great sales people. They're use to hearing "No!" and getting the door slammed in their face. But they just keep on goin'.
