We really thought that multi-level marketers had sucked enough soul out of the world, but this text message exchange proved us to be very, very wrong. This Imgur user received what they thought was a kind text from a former classmate following the death of their father, only to realize the well-wishes were a thinly veiled attempt at selling his family nutrition projects. Is nothing sacred?

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.

Anyone with a Facebook account knows that there are a few very specific types of annoying of people in any feed: 

1.) parents who can't seem to post about anything other than their kids doing entirely mundane things; 

2.) people who constantly post about their healthy lifestyles and gym check-ins; and 

3.) the MLM salesperson, also known as the Hun, the #BossBabe or the "entrepreneur." They'll sneakily slide into your DMs under the facade of "friendship" or "just saying hi." Don't be fooled. They're trying to rope you into the endless scam that is the pyramid scheme where literally no one wins expect the higher-ups.

The following posts are some of our favorite cringe moments from the dreaded Boss Babes.

Whether it's Lularoe, Doterra, Younique or Rodan + Fields, these companies all have one thing in common: persistent salespeople who don't seem to understand how scams work.

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.

Ohhh, Lularoe. It's our favorite clothing pyramid scheme that features, shall we say, odd patterns? Scroll down for 16 incredible cringey fails from the poor souls who fell for the scam!

If you've been on the wonderful world of Facebook before, then you're probably familiar with the pyramid scheme (otherwise known as multi-level marketing) where "entrepreneurs" are paid to sell products to their social media followers. Sometimes the products work, but most of the time it's simply a scam and the salesperson ends up with little money or even in debt to the company.

Here are 17 memes and posts that'll really hit home to anyone who's ever been the victim of an annoying MLM salesperson!

There are two types of stupid people in this world: 1.) those who remain silent for the most part on things they aren't educated about, and 2.) those who yell out their stupidity to basically anyone that will listen.
