This video was showed up on my feed at the exact right time, I literally just told my local recruiter "my time is better spent elsewhere."

[@eyoeldiress7852]

This literally happend to me this week. Everything you mentioned in this video, the exact book, the same choice of words, the couples with private jets, mentorship, special opportunity, financial freedom, passive income and list goes on. I have been skeptical about it once I heared the recruiting part but wasn't fully closed to it, i didnt want to lose an opportunity since it started with mentorship I was being positive but something wasn't sitting right with me, I was doing my research and here i am 3 am watching this video, i am suppose to attendmy first "special" meeting this week . These people are really good the way they present this MLM/pyramid scheme. I have been approached by herbal life and other MLM schemes before, but i was able to Shut them down. This metor bullshit almost got me. I am glad you made this video, beore i invested any money or tIme in to it . You got you a supporter

[@ethanhall4376]

This just happened last night to my wife and I. It was so sketchy. We thought it was weird fibes, so I'm so glad I'm more aware now. Thanks for the video this was 100% word for word the tactics they tried to us on us. Crazy stuff...

[@RacePicsnVids]

Yup, my girlfriend and I were skeptical about the whole thing as well but went to their seminar just to see how crazy it is...boy was I intrigued just to see how many people were brainwashed.

[@GothicWiccan61]

YO!!!!! I legit just bought that book yesterday and we are supposed to meet tomorrow (2 days later just like you said!!) Everything word from word of what you've been explaining is happening!!! I love it !! Your video confirmed my suspicions of this being a "pyramid scheme" and when I asked this recuriter she seemed offended that I even said those words...but ultimately I am glad to have found this video to just confirm that I wasnt missing something.

[@OneHourShower]

Dude my buddy just tried to get me into this... it was so random. I feel bad for him that he’s already wrapped up in it. He said he had an offer for a job for me. He said he knows I like to be busy and I’m a good worker and he wanted to FaceTime with me and this guy. And sure enough this guy starts to tell me about the quadrant of employed Vs self employed Vs investor etc etc. I am not mad at my friend but I feel bad.

[@tobib7143]

Ran into this the other day. 2 things ran through my mind, and they were “if something sounds too good to be true, it usually is.” and “if it’s that easy, why isn’t everyone doing this then?” I immediately pulled out when I had those thoughts, and I’m glad to hear it from you.

[@dansmodacct]

I agree with your first thought. Your second question I would push back on a bit. There are many things in life that some people will do that others won't do. Not everyone has the drive to do what some people are willing to do to succeed (and that's in anything).

[@rosab6259]

One word: AMWAY! Run away from this people.

[@akirebara]

This is happening at my place of work right now. I work with a lot of fairly young folks, some still in college/recent grad. This coworker is trying to get them to join Amway. I'm debating whether or not I should notify my bosses about her. I work in retail. I wonder if this falls under no solicitation or maybe no compete clause?

[@rosab6259]

@@akirebara I would report it to HR, at least they can determine if it goes against the company's policy. That poor coworker fell for it and now she might be trying to at least make up her investments in the scam or is still dreaming of all the "wealth" Amway promises to people. How sad!

[@MoxVox]

A girl that used to work for me went down this path to 'freedom'' and has literally become a marketing zombie . She ditched all her friends so she can concentrate on making contacts who are the 'right fit' for her and her partner’s MLM program. Sad

The difference between the pitch and reality is what makes MLM a scam. If they told you upfront that it's a horrible business opportunity and you'll probably lose money, it would not be a scam.

[@cbottersotter]

Im in the midst of it right now. I met a guy a month ago at my job and he told me about his ecommerce career doesent work/passive income. We exchanged numbers and said the same thing about his mentors whos also a couple. We did multiple zoom calls and nothing was sketchy alot of motivation and basic business ideas. I had another zoom meeting tonight but I completely ghosted and blocked him before he gave me what he called “homework” and I noticed World Wide Group and Amway so I looked them up and blocked him 30 seconds later. This video was exactly what happened

[@brotherbanks]

Bro thank you so much for putting this video out! a guy who I just met verbatim said the same thing! They tried and keep trying to do the same thing to me. Dude my wife sensed that they were trying to scam us! The red flag for me was their conversation being so cryptic I can sense a deceiver A mile away.

I had three people scam me using amway. One even gave me the book the giver. It hurts , but I’m glad I didn’t fall for it . I used bumble app.. never again

[@saifeddinemahmoudi1138]

[@TheFatimaVentura]

Ran into this lady at target and the same thing happened but it felt awkward from the beginning. Mainly because I am able to detect when someone has an ulterior motive upon approaching me. She began to ask me questions about my career and when I asked her she was very vague about her mentors guiding her and being able to get her into marketing and creating passive income, retiring by 30 etc etc. She texted me yesterday saying her mentors are Interested in talking to me. I already knew it was some kind of pyramid scam

These "selling a dream not a product" comments were exactly my thoughts as well. As a guitarist, it felt like if I were to sell a guitar to someone under the basis that they can be a full time musician. Is it true? Well yeah, but its incredibly rare. I'd rather sell a guitar to someone because it makes them happy and help them express themselves. Earning money would be a bonus.

[@JeradJohnson]

Literally, just experienced this with my gf. Another couple took us through this pitch and even gave the book at the end. “The Go-Giver” my red flag is, we met for an hour and I still don’t know wtf this guy sells! If you have an opportunity just pitch me and show me the bottom line! It shouldn’t be some secretive, mysterious sh#t. Time is money, I’m already an entrepreneur and frankly the book is beneath me from what I saw thumbing through it. I’ve got some books that’ll blow your hair back. So, idk, seems like some weirddddd stuff.

I’ve never seen ANYONE make money in MLM. The only thing I’ve ever seen is people talk a lot, make dubious claims, and badger others to buy shxt products. It’s such a toxic culture it’s insane it’s allowed.

I met a girl on a christian dating app and we started hanging out and she kept talking about how her mentors are financially free and how they can spent their whole time with their kids...fast forward a month later I ask her to be my girlfriend and I bring her to meet my parents (keep in mind, she lived 130 miles away and I was driving there every weekend) so she came to visit and afterwards she told me that her mentors are very selective and they don't waste their energy on people who won't commit to anything. so she tells me that they have 5 questions for me and she starts asking me about how I spend my time and how I invest in myself...and they she tells me I need to read this book called "who stole my cheese" so for some reason i asked for their names because it started to sound like a scam and she couldn't even look me in the eye while talking to me. she tells me their names are traver baker and i forgot his wife's name...i looked them up and i read my lifestory on reddit lol. i asked her if this was a deal breaker if i were to said i won't join in the business and she said yes, so i ended the relationship. i cant believe people are welling to waste a month of their life to make extra money and sell people to stuff like this

Just sat through the same ear beating you are describing. Even got the same book showed in this video. Knew it was too good to be true and did a little research. Cheers to the guy I talked to for being a bit smarter and trying to use psychology tricks to make people believe him. Talked to me about confirmation biases during his pitch and how people will look for the things he says he does online and apply it to what he’s saying to talk themselves out of a great opportunity lol. I feel bad for people that don’t actually listen to what they’re saying and apply common sense to these outlandish and vague claims that they make. Gunna read the book though but won’t be talking to that guy again. This guy was my Uber driver so people be wary, they’re evolving out there lol.
