This isn't even all of it, but I have a FB friend who got into this shit and these are various posts he has made over a 2 week period. Not to mention various messages and comments to a bunch of people. I told him to research Amway/Quixtar and other firms that operate like this - he just jumped balls deep into it regardless.

It is kinda annoying to constantly see this stuff in my feed, but I haven't blocked him yet just because I still LOL a little when I see it.... Anyone else know people like this that make you ?

Kinda the point... it is overkill to read a couple of these each day from the kid. If I only gave 3-4 examples, then I would not have painted the entire picture here I left off a bunch of comments stemming from these initial posts and other shit

8/2/2011 2:52:58 PM

Nice little article to sum up the entire scheme:

Hahahaha you're friends with G?

I almost wanna block him...but I like the dude so I have to ignore the posts

8/2/2011 3:48:54 PM

G as in Greg H-y-er?

8/2/2011 3:50:14 PM

I WISH

8/2/2011 3:51:33 PM

Yup, I like him - but damn... this is tragic to see daily

8/2/2011 3:53:06 PM

he hit me up asking if I wanted to get involved...and I was like "dude my mom has already tried to get me in this thing"

8/2/2011 3:54:35 PM

This shit works if you are persistant and have friends

I'm astraladvent and I approved this message.

If you are persistent with this shit, then you won't have friends.

Who all saw the pyramid scheme say yeah!

8/3/2011 4:52:34 PM

This stuff is tragic, but there's something horribly fascinating about watching the inevitable spiral from endless optimism into hopeless desperation. It's like watching a train wreck in super-slow motion.

I've got an aunt who's really big into FHTM. She's actually making a lot of money doing whatever it is they do. She got a Lexus from the company too for all the work she's put into it.

8/3/2011 6:03:12 PM

Yeah one of my friends gets a constant paycheck (nothing) but his dad has made tons of money with this. Its so cheap to enter now that its really not even a risk to join

8/3/2011 6:15:30 PM

so mildew how much stuff have you bought from him? it's ok. we won't judge.

8/3/2011 6:27:54 PM

so.. I know a guy who is in a pyramid scheme but pretty high on the pyramid and makes bank. this dude holds "seminars" in stadiums and has some pretty notable people like scotty pippen and kim k showing up at his events.

nothing wrong with scamming the unintelligent. if you don't a larger corporation will

8/4/2011 1:18:40 PM

Yeah this stuff is awful.

It's even worse because there's just enough people making a decent living from it that people think it's viable and overlook all the people on the bottom who are obviously getting shafted. Just look at the people in this thread that said "OH well but I know someone that makes bank!" while staring in the face of such an obvious pyramid scheme.

You'd be kidding yourself to say there was no risk, or that it was a good idea.
