Has anyone made $$ on pyramid selling??

Got suckered into attending one last night.

They claim its NOT a pyramid selling thing-its and INVERTED "V"!!


Sadly-its my very well educated relatives who are into this & a Doctor acquaintance signed them up.

He was bragging that he has made $34,000 in his first 6 months-but then i have to ask _WHY does a Doctor have to make more $$$????

I'd ask to see proof of his windfall.

The first people in a pyrmaid make money. Some make $$$. All at the expense of other people.

Demand a refund of any money you paid.

Nothing like a good ol ponzi scheme to get things going on the DIS on a Tuesday morning

Seen this on Judge Judy more times than I can count. It is a scam, people scamming people. Be careful, OP!

I agree - they are a scam. Although I do admit I signed up for one when I was in college. I didn't do it to make money, though. I loved the product (cosmetics) and wanted to be able to buy at a discount. The skin care was high quality and much less expensive than what I could get at a department store, so it made sense to me.

Now, though, it seems like all these products are so overpriced and rely on social pressure as a form of marketing.
