    Classic example of MLM tactics—vague promises, motivational fluff, and manufactured success images. Glad you saw through it early. These schemes prey on ambition and financial stress, so sharing experiences like this can really help others avoid the trap.

      He was decent at the pitch and everything, but I am street smart and could smell the bullshit immediately.

      The other guy who was working in a gas station would have been a great mark that hit all the qualities of someone that would have chased the promise of a better life the dude was trying to sell us. I really hope he cut and ran and is doing well.

      Hopefully some young or desperate person reads the story and remembers it when they get approached for an MLM.
