I just got done getting the lecture of my life. I ran into an old friend.. well acquaintence.. well.. just someone who knew me from my retail job some 10 years ago. I don't know how he found me but he did and he seemed to be pretty excited about some pyramid gimmick that he was doing and trying to get me to do it.
What I didn't like was the fact that he supposedly came by to talk to me to say hello when he really had hidden motives. I guess I got wise to his bull within the first 10 minutes because apparently he was attempting to coax me into saying, "Yeah, man.. life sucks, I hate my job, I wish I had more money." This guy sat in my office for nearly 3 hours attempting to pitch his pyramid gimmick to myself and the other people who work here. And I am OK with this because its my goal to make door to door salesmen frustrate themselves into never comming back again.
I have about heard them all.. Prime America, Amway, Quixtar, Market America, YTB travel, and now they got this one called, "Mentored by a Millionare". All of these gimmicks seem to have the same theme or structrue.. uplines, downlines, leveraging, matrix levels, and so forth.. I even know guys who get into a different pyramid every couple of months.
OH! and the funny thing is that they ALL deny that they are in a pyramid scam suggesting that its EXACTLY like any other business. But its all the same crap- Pay them $100 so you can go find 5 people to give you $100. And then have each of them find 5 people. I almost got into Prime America because an old high school buddy told me that I could make $4000 a week but I would have to come to the meeting before he could make that promise. So I went. And when they pulled me into the high-pressure sales office, they told me that my buddy makes over $50K a month.
I wondered if that was the case, why was he still driving a beater with 4 different hub caps and living in a rooming house.
