So how many of you know about this thinly-veiled pyramid/multi-level marketing scheme that's been gaining popularity lately? an astonishing amount of my friends, espeically the ones who didn't go to college, have been buying into this bogus idea as of lately, thinking they'll be millionaires in a matter of months.

They're turning into aggressive shitheads who won't shut the fuck up about the brand, I can't even handle being around them anymore. It's really irritating me.

Any "brand partners" here? Anybody else have friends who do this shit? Did any of them make a single penny?

My friend did this, along with a few others, became an asshole about it like the rest of them, and ended up making like 30 bucks after a few months. Waste of time I'm glad you feel the same way

waste of time.

In fact, I just went through hell and high water because of those fuckers at vemma. Still waiting on them to refund me 150$.. which they overdrafted from my account without warning after I canceled my auto delivery the first time.. or so they led me to believe. They are scam artists regardless of how "legal" their program is.

I've literally had 3 or 4 friends try to convince me to buy into this shit.

Biggest scam ever, it's identical to cutco knives, as in you can make a shit ton of money for yourself, but you better be making 5-6 deals a day minimum to be supporting the type of lifestyle that people think is going to happen.

And I agree, it does seem to be a lot more affluent with the people who didn't go to college...probably because it looks like a good, somewhat return on investment but you have to be hustling.

my friends who were of the first in the area to hop on it made their money back and now can receive checks for doing nothing apparently.

if its already big in your area, dont even think about buying into it because the market gets tapped quickly

it eventually boils down to a pyamid scheme

I have friends who bought into it and I have been asked numerous times. Its a crock of shit nonetheless. Waste of time and money like other people were saying that the market gets taped quick which is very true......dont buy into it

I know a few kids who are doing it. it's dumb unless you start at the VERY beginning knowing that it is a pyramid scheme and that you won't make anything significant off of it. there are claims of kids getting 50,000 dollar cars put in their driveways, making 60,000 dollars a month (these are things I've actually been told by kids), and even crazier things. it's all bullshit, don't buy into it.

My friend is getting a free car from them for reaching whatever level she's at.
She pretty much runs the tahoe / reno area.

my friend does it and gets weekly checks of over 2 grand sometimes because he has so many people signed up under him.  Like someone already said, if its in your area and someone tries to get you to sign up, dont, but if no one does it, you have an opportunity to make money. and thats if they are willing to drop around 500 bucks instead of getting a legitimate job.
