scam

These gift card scammers just won't quit, so much so that it's honestly an art form at this point. Of course, the recipient of the scam in this case is much more skilled at this whole trolling thing than we'll ever be, so we have to salute his hilarious and valiant efforts for that!

We all know that MLM salespeople on our social media feeds are annoying as hell, but we also can't help but feel a little bad for them; they are victims of a pyramid scheme after all, and once you get sucked into the scheme it's tough not to drink the Kool-aid. As is such, here's a roundup of some cringey memes and posts about pyramid schemes that we found highly amusing!

If you love yourself a little Karen schadenfreude, then get ready cause we have a whole roundup of MLM (otherwise known as pyramid schemes) memes and cringe posts for you to facepalm over. And guess what, we've got even more here!

Damn, of all the things you could and should fake your own death for, LulaRoe apparel is not one of them. 

If you're not familiar with the pyramid scheme that is LulaRoe, then first of all, you're a lucky bastard. But in all seriousness, we've got you covered with copious examples of total LulaRoe fails.

In this wild ride of a story, a woman named Jennifer was apparently really desperate for a free LulaRoe dress called an  "Amelia." So desperate, in fact, that she felt it appropriate to fake her own death in a Facebook group and get caught up in a whole web of lies. Yeah, we're confused about it too...

On one hand, we do feel kind of bad for the people who get sucked into these pyramid schemes because often times multi-level marketing companies will pray on unemployed single moms or others in vulnerable situations. But on the other hand, we can't really ignore how effing annoying all of the #BossBabe posts on Facebook are. See for yourself when you scroll down.

And in conclusion, here's a little life tip for you: if an "opportunity" feels suspiciously like a scam, then it's likely a scam.

On Monday, former vice president Wendell Potter of the insurance company Cigna came clean on Twitter to dispel myths about health insurance in America and why politicians aren't being totally honest about it. He explains why the concept of "choice" is incorrect and propagated by insurance insiders, Republicans, and Democrats alike. 

Pretty eye-opening if you ask us!

Here we are in 2019 and pyramid schemes (AKA multi-level marketing companies) still exist. A pyramid scheme is a company that requires its "consultants" to purchase kits from the company in order to sell to family and friends, often on social media. Of course, majority of these consultants end up not making any sort of profit whatsoever. You'll recognize these people as the ones who call themselves "boss babes" and encourage you to message them about this "great opportunity." 

In this particular story, someone calls out an Acti Labs consultant for being a part of a pyramid scheme, to which the consultant throws a bit of a fit.

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.

If you're gonna scam a random person, at least make your story somewhat believable! This guy tries to convince someone via text message that he's a soldier working on some fancy intel project with the United States military. Luckily, the recipient wasn't falling for it...

Why is it always the "mommy" types who seem like the most entitled, rude people? Being a mom doesn't automatically mean you get handed things in life for free. Granted, who knows whether this lady is actually a single mom like she claims. 

Regardless, her insufferable demeanor provides for the best kind of schadenfreude!

Craigslist can really be the ultimate melting pot of WTF - after all, that's kind of what you get when you have an online forum where absolutely anyone can post their ads. Lucky for us though, the weirdest ads provide us with the best entertainment...scroll down to see some of our favorites!

We'd like to give these scammers the benefit of the doubt and assume that they don't know they're involved in a scam. Either that or someone who's down on their luck might resort to desperate measures to earn a bit of extra cash. Either way, this dude definitely picked the wrong person to mess with!
