Everyone's got at least one Facebook friend who tries to slide into their DMs about starting a "wonderful and unique business opportunity while working from home." Of course, these "business opportunities" always turn out to be scams (otherwise known as pyramid schemes or multi-level marketing) that force salespeople to spend their own money on "starter kits."
It's too hard not to meme and highlight the fails brought to us by the likes of Lularoe, Younique, DoTerra and more!
This Facebook user was armed with facts when she received multiple messages from a Rodan + Fields salesperson who wouldn't seem to give up! If you're not familiar with the term "MLM," it stands for "multi-level marketing" and refers to companies such as LulaRoe or Rodan + Fields where stay-at-home moms are often sucked in to selling bogus products or recruiting friends and family to join in as a salesperson.
We're back at it with another round of pyramid-scheme fails! If you're not familiar with the brand Younique, it's essentially another pyramid-scheme company that calls its employees "Presenters." The Presenters sell overpriced makeup products to their friends and family, and attempt to recruit people to sell the products as well. The company makes outlandish claims about what the products can do, and they often times employ Presenters who don't actually know how to apply makeup at all.
Not convinced yet that it's a total scam? Just let the following pics change your mind.
