Pyramid Schemes

[AGDee]

Yeah, I've had an ex-boyfriend PM me to check out his "business".. some kind of juice or vitamin supplement or something. Primerica fooled me into going to one of their presentations. My idiot ex-husband invited an Amway couple into our home once. The worse the economy gets, the worse this kind of thing gets, I think. People think "Well gee, I was laid off, but I can have my own business!" or "If I have a side business, I can pay off those credit cards with all that extra money!" Preying on the weak.. that's what they're about!

I was just rereading this thread since it got bumped and Dee, I had to laugh at this. It sounds like a Seinfeld episode.

It's worse when you meet a nice hot guy through some friends. You dig on him for a few weeks and get all excited because he asks you to dinner one night. You get to dinner, and once drinks are served, he starts reciting the Amway pitch.
