Pyramid Scheme Ads
I passed a pickup on my way home from work tonight, and it had a big sticker on the back that said,
"Make $30k a month or more with Qivana" (and then a phone number). I want to know how the conversation went that resulted in "or more" being added. So I'm envisioning that these people are sitting around the room and they're all making about $75 a month selling fruit juice or something to their grandparents. They need to recruit people below them in the pyramid, so they come up with the idea to put an ad on their truck. "How about 'earn $75 a month with Qivana'?" "That's not enough. No one would be stupid enough to do that." "How about $100? That's a lot." "Still not enough. How about $1,000?" "$1,000? I've never seen that much money. But is it lifechanging? Can we get, like doctors and stuff to sell Qivana? I want everyone to sell it." "Oh! Oh! How about $10,000? TEN THOUSAND! You could buy a house with that much money! Every month!" "Too many zeroes. People will get confused. Let's just go with $30,000." "$30,000 it is. Make up to $30,000 a month." "But ... wait. We want to get everyone. What if $30,000 isn't enough? The really good salespeople may want to make more." "That's why you're a genius. Let's make it $30,000 or more. That way we'll get everyone to call. No one can resist that." |

I would love to be the one who came with a pyramid scheme sometime. Make millions off dipshits.

For every two people who rep me on this thread and mention your name in the comment, I'll rep you. Now you do the same with others, and rep me once for every four reps you get. Everyone wins.

My Ex Wife is an executive milf. She's no dummy & pulls about 300k per year - anyhow - I heard from my ex neighbor she and her new pro golf husband (club pro) - approached him about a scheme involving a cure all African tree - he said she seemed almost brain washed, Tim said he sent them packing and said "NFW." |

I got caught up in some of that shit. Boy did I throw some money out the window. The relatively small bunch of gurus that are always in first on these different schemes are always the ones that make the money every time and they always pretend to take you under their wing. To think of the money I wasted on this shit just pisses me off.
Water under the bridge. I hate to think about it. |

There was a big article about the Vemma scam recently in RS. It's scamming a lot of naive college kids into thinking they can get rich selling those shitty energy drinks. Just another repackaged pyramid scheme.

yeah, I showed him a few articles saying the same but he just wouldn't believe me. Decided to let him learn for himself since he wouldn't trust me on the issue.

If he only lost $160 he got off easy. That's the thing about multilevel marketing. It can work, but do you want to risk losing your friends trying to get them involved in selling a shitty product?
