One of my homeboys tried to recruit me for his coffee business. I remember his sales pitch: “How much is a gallon of gas? Me: $2.87. Him: A pack of this coffee is $5.85. This is more expensive than gas bro. Coffee is the future” I literally got up and left the room. Years later, I was like “yo bro remember that scam you tried to get me in?” He goes “yeah them mofos got me” 😂Lol

it's a culture of shaming similar to the crypto space's "FUD" (fear, uncertainty, doubt). But there's another layer of hating on your own that gets thrown in. I've gotten accused of it in this comment section many times.

Plays on the “trust tribe members”and fear those outside the tribe which js a product evolution. So common that it has a name: Affinity fraud is a type of investment fraud in which a con artist targets members of an identifiable group based on things such as race, age, religion, etc. The fraudster either is or pretends to be, a member of the group. Often the fraudster promotes a Ponzi or pyramid scheme.

[@OhJustSomeRandomGuy]

"Fun" fact, the dude who had the longest running Ponzi scheme in American history did it by exclusively hitting up Mormons as a member of the Mormon church.

[@TerryWhisk]

You’ve been saying that for years?

[@jenfoster934]

Great video. Women have been scamming other women for YEARS with MLMs, your equation of need and desperation making you a target is spot on. My own aunt convinced me to invest $3000 in Mary Kay when I had a baby and was desperate. Did nothing but create CC debt and make me feel like I was a loser, when obviously it’s a saturated market

[@CamJames]

Thanks for being here Jen. What a terrible thing for your aunt to do, good lord. Glad you were able to come out the other side, how's your relationship with that aunt?

[@macysondheim]

Your aunt presented you with a business opportunity, it was your own lack of work ethic, lack of motivation & drive, lack of wanting to better yourself that led to you being in debt. Because thousands of others have turned this opportunity into a consistent 6 figure income, where they are able to achieve complete financial freedom & even travel the world through paid for trips by the company. It’s easy to deflect our personal failures onto others, but sometimes we need to accept responsibility for our own actions sweetheart.

[@CamJames]

@@macysondheim what you're not gonna do is attack women in my comment section fam. Be brainwashed in your own corner of the internet.

[@UltraKellonRealEstate]

​​@@macysondheimThis is very true... Last time I checked Mary Kay is responsible for the most women millionaires in the US. I grew up in Network Marketing. My father was wildly successful in several companies and developed a 5 figure monthly income. I myself did "pretty" good in several companies but I never made more than 10k a month. As a person that participated in the MLM industry I can tell you first hand that most people who join are lazy and scared of rejection. You literally have to be fearless in talking to mass amounts of people until you find the ones that want to join. Most people hardly talk to anyone and when they get told no and their feelings get hurt they want to quit and claim "the business doesn't work". The business is NOT for everyone.. especially those with no work ethic to sell/recruit other distributors or for people who will quit at the first sign of adversity.

[@hitzoneproductions7858]

That it's honorable to cape/white knight for a female as if their entire gender is above reproach/being held accountable for their actions simply because they're a woman. When you do things like this you: A. Give people the impression that you were improperly raised by a single mother without enough positive male influence. And,... B. That you have a remarkable ability to make/keep women's Virginia's dryer than the Sahara dessert. - A female that likes to be treated as an equal.

[@ChristmasTroy]

My mom fell for an "education investment" scam suggested by her friends and it's specifically targeted for immigrant parents that think they're doing the best for their children. It's disturbing how the Korean churches is a festering ground for MLM schemes because they're mostly targeting vulnerable immigrant families.

[@CamJames]

it hurts especially to hear about immigrant families being taken advantage of, including those who at times don't have the best grasp of English or cultural norms. Nobody deserves that

[@skibbityb1]

Was it one of the Moonies Unification churches?

[@Cbd_7ohm]

Korean people and Japanese people can sometimes be terrible at questioning things (high trust societies). At least Chinese people know everything is a scam lol.

[@ricfax]

It's especially insidious in faith communities as well as groups of all types because trust can be abused and avarice is a universal temptation, especially among those looked to as authority figures. For that reason, we all carry a responsibility to search for and resist avarice in ourselves the higher we rise in life and calling it out when we observe it in the world. Props to CamJames for calling it out!

[@ricfax]

@@skibbityb1 : While there would be a certain irony to MLM operators working inside a cult that founders weren't profiting from, there are many faith communities based out of South Korea that have nothing to do with Moon. I've seen MLM worked in communities of many shared beliefs, sometimes faith, other times things like politics or patriotism.

[@wildcard650]

This gave me flashbacks to when we were kids and we had to do those sale fundraisers. We would go door to door selling overpriced goods that no one one wanted and depending on how much you sold, you would get anything from a slinky to a cheap kaleidoscope.

Great vid m'bro. Knew an older gent in NYC some time ago, who'd just done twenty for fraud, and learnt a few things from him. One of the most important being this: "the hardest people to grift are the honest ones, while the easiest are the needy, the greedy, and the believers." and about believers he said this: "it doesn't matter what people believe, it's the act of believing that makes them vulnerable, because belief is an doorway their souls, all he ever had to do was find the key to that door, and he'd own them". He said he found it both depressing and amusing, that it was usually those he ripped off for the most, who were his greatest defenders. Keep it on the swivel✌🏾

[@FollowMagicBrad]

Thanks for putting this online.🎉 The MLMs (aka Network Marketing) programs are borderline legal and just skimming under the ponzi radar by having these “products” as a front. Without the products, they are a recruiting ponzi business. Unfortunately, the affiliate marketing model is also becoming similar. The “product” in affiliate marketing often times is “training” to be successful. They are marketers, selling marketing to other marketers to sell marketing to other marketers. And don’t have a legitimate product. This being said, there are affiliate programs that have legitimate products and services, that pay commissions in the affiliate, marketing world. The big warning ⚠️ sign, is talking about the money, constantly talking about the money constantly talking about the money. Money, money , money. In business, money is obvious, it’s the product, service, or the cause that is important. Thanks again for sharing this wisdom. 👍💕

[@FleetTech97]

It’s a huge problem in immigrants as well. I’m Pakistani and there are a lot of these mlm guys that pray on new immigrants that show up at the mosque. It’s not so bad at the mosque I grew up in but still they pray on them. Great video.

A year later, the person who recruiter her online kept hounding her to try to sell more but no one would buy that stuff off of my wife. I'm glad we are past that part of our life.

Where I’m from in NC, Hispanic people have Herbalife on lock. It’s always a little store with green curtains or paper in the windows and it’s called “Something Health”. It’s always a small room in the back with a treadmill and some weights. In the front is where they serve you Herbalife shakes and get you to buy more.

[@TheeGlocktopus]

@@ajc7175 Because a good portion of that probably spent doom scrolling on social media, and she compare her life to all the "bo$$ babe$" posting their social and financial masks online and felt inadequate. The best thing a grown, responsible adult can do for their sanity and relationships in modern days is walk away from Social Media. All of it. No fakebook, no fakegram, no CCP Socialist Tok, no more lurking on X, and no more self-hating with the other miserables that make up Reddit. 98% of people do not have the discipline, self control, cynicism, and higher level thinking to handle immersing yourself and looking for the diamond in the septic tank of content that is Social Media.

My MLM story. I'm a black woman who lives in the Midwest. An older white lady who lives in my apartment building immediately showed fondness towards me, and I actually appreciated it because it has been tough making friends out here. We went out to the park and some shows a couple times, and I learned that she was dealing with chronic pain from extensive joint surgeries. We got to talking about covid and she said she reluctantly got vaccinated once but never again cos she didn't trust it. I was like, okay, that's cool. Next thing I know, she's talking about this supplement that she's selling that basically cured her pain, and made Jesus walk on water. I thought it was weird until she invited me to a marketing meeting, and sent me brochures to expose me to the product. I'm a scientist so I was looking for scientific journals or medical professionals addressing the supplement...not a one. She further explained that she knew people who had become millionaires from the product due to how effective and popular it is. That's, all those people except her of course. I noped out of that and have never heard from her again - not even to just hangout. Sad.

[@kerrian4564]

They are user.. They see you as a mark at all times.. it's devastating when you thought you had made a good friend!!

Ran into another black man and he seemed so sincere when we were discussing business plans. He offered my a free mentor ship and lied to my face because the whole time he was just trying to get me into the MLM pyramid scheme. And don’t even get me started on the BLM movement. $60M+ in one year and we barely see any change. Shit is sick but it reminds me not a skin folk is kin folk and the people that match your vibe are a part of your vibe no matter what they look like.

[@CamJames]

"Not all skinfolk is kinfolk" is a mantra I live by. BLM was a damn shame, I might have to talk about them smh

[@Tigatron1448]

Damn, I haven't heard that saying but it is so true. I've always hated when people just stick up for others based on race, regardless of the circumstances. Trust me, I know my own white community is horrible about this too... maybe this is my own bias speaking, but it seems to be a huge issue within the black community. I'm consistently blown away when I see black people being clearly taken advatange of by one of their own, but they'll defend that person just because their skin tone matches. Again, I know white people do this too... but I don't see them defend their own when they're the ones getting scammed, at least not very often. Sure, white people will irrationally defend their own, but if a person screws them over then they're pretty quick to turn on that person and quit defending them. I really wish we as a society would get away from this tribalistic mindset. I was lucky enough to marry into an extremely diverse family. It's awesome seeing such a large group of people from every different race/background you can imagine get together and just enjoy life. We can all talk openly about anything and everyone is simply a person. Life is too short and too hard to be wasting time on stuff like worrying about skin color. Just find people who have similar values to you and focus on enjoying it.

[@Three60Mafia]

I went to one of these meetings because a friend told me it'll be a good hangout (never trust "friends" that you havent heard from in decades, that basically groom you into showing up for these out of nowhere), and it's all predatory - you are supposed to be part of select few invited to speak with "Mr.X", a visionary secret billionaire that is accidentally in town to share his money making wisdom with you... and then you get to a random hotel and theres probably 2000 of black folk out there, all dressed very nicely... and then some dude just shows up and starts saying "broddas and sistas" every 2 words, and then "lord provides" and "do we not deserve better" and then "Let the non-believers leave the room" ... before finally actually saying what the scheme is - its basically a debit card of some sort that you do all your purchases with. I didn't stick around long enough to learn more, but they are basically going after the most vulnerable and poor in their schemes.

bruh, "Plant sourced silica" you mean the sands thats on the damn roots? 🤣 Great video! My first MLM experience was vector/cutCo. Fortunately, a friend happened to be at the initial meeting. We didn't know or understand what an MLM was back then, but the whole setup didn't seem like a viable long term business to either of us (we were highschoolers at the time so the fact that children can see through this was hillarious). We ended up just leaving mid meeting. These MLM companies will go into highschools and ask for students phone numbers. That should be illegal. You can cover that on a deep dive video. Unfortunately you were right, the people who stayed at the meeting, and roasted us for giving up such a golden opportunity, were highschoolers with children, people who really needed a break, and people who didn't really understand how business works. I really hope content like this gets out to the right people.

Friend of mine tried to rope me into an MLM. I asked him how he got into it. He said he sold his Xbox, encouraging me to sell my PS3. Maybe this was immature of me but my PS3 was my lifeline for a while. That crusty blu ray player meant more to me than words, and if I sold it and this shit didn't work out, I'd be worse off than broke. That MLM got shut down by the government. My PS3 is still alive and well today. Hope he don't miss that Xbox.

I can’t believe I’m catching you before 5k subscribers. I wish you continued success! I used to sell Cutco to my family and luckily at that time they didn’t require me to put a down deposit or anything, I just didn’t make much money and what little money I made was on my parents and uncles buying some knives that were overpriced and unnecessary. Crazy how these scams are still running strong.

I sold Cutco here on Long Island. I think their goal was to sell you that starter sales kit. It was only like $100. My parents still have the knives 25 years later. My dad used to be a butcher and he said the knives are actually very good quality. But yeah Cutco was definitely very scammy.

FWIW Vector Marketing is a legitimate sales company with CUTCO. I was a district manager for them for four years.

The Credit repair services are another major scam going on. I worked with a guy briefly at a major Govt. Contractor who was very hooked into the DC political scene (family friends with Mayor) that just went and joined some 'start up' credit repair business aimed at minorities. He previously had to testify in hearings due to major issues with a Hospital their 3 person company was running which had no experience running hospitals ever (company included a relative of his and her husband. The husband stepped down from Boards in DC over the past few years due to 'perceived' corruption. They also had a family member hired to the Mayors team after a donation from that husband!). This Hospital contract was a No-bid contract awarded directly to them by Mayor. How evil do you have to be to award millions of dollars and give control of a Hospital to a 3 person company of your friends that have ZERO experience managing any kind of Healthcare facility, let alone a major Hospital?

Idk about all that. Tony the closer and a few others has been exposing alot of scams but because alot of these scammers have money the regular folks eat that shit up and they turn against the people who are exposing the scammers. What I’ve come to realize is to not look bad as a race people will allow all sorts of shit to happen to their own kind because they don’t wana be perceived a certain way. I mean the most common rhetoric the scammer fans make is “see when a black man gets a little bit of money they always wana hate” mfer it’s not hate it’s people in the community tryna hold other people accountable but because people in the community know they will have to hold themselves accountable it’s a lot more easier to just tell people to mind their business then to hold yourself accountable for the mistakes of your people.

Bro great video and great narration for everything. Let me tell you a funny story, I was finishing my undergrad while driving Uber to pay bills. Mind you I'm in my mid 30s and I just applied to Law School. I pick up this couple at a hotel and the trip was to the airport. Along with them was another lady that was with them but they didn't know, they met her at the hotel. So we start talking and they flew there for a "convention" . So now I'm thinking, cool... many professionals fly to conventions. Turns out when I asked what it was about, she was super secretive, and wanted to tell me it's a great opportunity, they were all amped up lmao I was like OH NO this sounds like a damn MLM and she just got hypnotized by what they fed her. So I'm telling her I'm in the process of becoming an attorney. She goes " Well if you do this opportunity you might forego those plans " , I did the biggest EYE ROLL I ever did in my life. OMG, you want me to stop my dreams of becoming an attorney to join a SCAM MLM?!?!?!!! I felt bad , she told me to exchange numbers with her husband and awkwardly I just kept silent. I dropped them off and that was it.

Instead of just being a single location, you can go to different places, but still seems pretty much the same as a timeshare.
