A girl I know has recently fallen into this problem. She is 16 years old and just had a baby, and was in need of some sort of income from home. So she bought into the wholesale idea, buying a licence to get the product directly from the manufacturer. Being a 16 year old girl, she did this with make-up. Now she has hundreds of bottles of several different bottles of make-up she's bought for thousands of dollars, and trying to sell them $1 less than the stores price, the problem being she doesn't have the marketing, nor the demand to sell the products (I live in a small town, with a large elderly population). It's sad to see a girl I know fall into large debt at 16, and I can only imagine the problems it's bringing to her family. It really is a terrible scam..
Nice talk. I had an aquaintance who showed me one of these that he was into (pyramid-scheme product sales) I examined it and told him that I didn't want to perpetuate something non-sustainable. What was most funny were that the only counter arguments that ever came out his mouth were these vague remarks about "how it empowers you to be your own boss," and other vague free market pioneer feel-good sayings XD
Primerica is another one of these. They want you to sell insurance or something like it to people, but encourage you to recruit others to do the same to make money, while taking a cut. The recruiter when on and on about #'s , but wouldn't give any paperwork. I'm an adult and the guy kept asking to talk to my parents for me. Wow.
These schemes are pretty common here in the Netherlands. Most of them revolves around unknowing trainees going door -to door with a certain product. A friend of mine took on a 'job' but he didn't manage to get the weekly 'sales target' and long story short: He did not get payed for his invested time, nor for the amount of products that he did manage to sell. So basically, the higher ups didn't need to pay him salary but still got the profit of the sold products.
i worked with a woman who fell for the same foreign lottery scam she took out a 5000 loan, half the people at the store tried tell her it was a scam, the sad thing is at least a third of the people at the store thought it was real and would have fell for it too
My friend tried to get me involved into a pyramid scheme that his family is really involved in. He literally asked every person he knew to join and just made himself look like a bellend. Looking back on it I'm glad I didn't join cause as you said, I would've been shafted.
I assume he fell for the sunk-cost fallacy. He already invested X amount of money into it, and is offered to invest Y more to complete it. If he didn't, the money X would be lost. So he feels pressured to invest even more.
I currently work for a company like what you're describing. I will say that it doesn't work for everyone, but if you put the work into it, it does. I think the moral of the story is do your research on reputable sites and be smart with what you do.
Yeah, my mom gets into these scams all the time. She's done Avon, Beachbody (I think is what it's called), and now she's doing Advocare, which I'm sure is the same bullshit. I try to tell her, "If you didn't make money from distributing all that other crap from those other companies, what makes you think you'll get money this time?" And she never really has an answer. I guess we just get so desperate for money that she's willing to try anything, and it's probably the same for a lot of other people.
There are so many scams out there from pump and dumps to the classic standby of Nigerian letter scams. I work in the hospitality industry and I have to be wary of people calling the hotels I work at asking to speak with a room. What they will do is ask for a room number, get transferred to the room and say they're from the front desk and we need to get their credit card again. You can probably guess what they do if it works out. So many people are afraid of making an honest buck...
I met a random online one day and we become pretty good friends. The last time I saw him, he told me he got into this company movement thing and I knew he got himself into one of these schemes. Too make a long story short, I never heard from him ever again... :(
I usually get phone call scams in Chinese that DHL has a package they were unable to deliver to me and they need an additional $50 or something to try again. It changes from time to time but it's the most consistent in my area.
Can you talk about how Communism is NOT the best for America, and how it would destroy the country. A lot of teens think it is some great thing, but surely you can talk some sense into them?
Yeah, communism failed in Russia because it wasn't actually communism, it was just a Dictatorship wearing make up. (Kim Jong wearing make up just popped in my mind now.)
The perfect world, a Utopia, would be run by communism, but that just isn't the reality. For it to work there would have to be a very wealthy country so everybody would leave as comfortably as everyone else. Places like Cuba and Korea just aren't wealthy enough to have EVERYBODY live comfortably. Also, a Utopia would have ni crime, no stealing, no lying, nothing bad, which is just as unrealistic as it gets.
***** If you look around in your city or town you can tell that more and more people are not okay with God. I got made fun of at school for being christian, and when you that christians are being abused people bring up "Christians killed people for centuries" as an excuse to discriminate on them. SO no it doesn't work the way you think.
I applied for a job at a "marketing" company once that sells knives. Found out in the interview it was a pyramid scheme. I left afterwards and told them I wouldn't be returning and the guy was livid.
There's a similar scam in the art world, "We want you to design something for our product, we won't be paying you but you get experience and publicity..." ... Never works out.
Oh, yeah, because you're TOTALLY forced to shell out fifteen bucks every month. Because you're TOTALLY required to do anything that could scam you out of your money.
Hey driftor. Im a big fan and i want to thank you. All of my friends think im very good at bo2 and its all thanks to ur info. Its made me much better and helps me play better. Thank you so much
During my first semester of college I got sucked into Vemma. In my defense, I didn't have a clear definition on what a pyramid scheme was. Thank God I got out after 4 months.
Good video, sad that people still don't understand these things. If you want to make a follow up video, I'd suggest one outlining the problems with Cash Advance stores and/or rent-to-own stores.
This reminds me where i wanted to get the golden executioner and i went into hardcore mode and headshotted people with the executioner and laser sight in their backs xD. I went on like a 15 HS streak without dying one game... good times.
Great video. My mom married a guy who had been left several million by his previous wife when she died. He called himself a financial analysts yet he turned out to be OBSESSED with 'multi-level marketing'. It was such a nightmare. Years and millions of dollars later he is deep in debt and my mother almost lost her her house divorcing him. What I don't get is how OBVIOUS these scams seem to be; the victims are gamblers at heart and seem to want to be ripped off.
I got suckered into working for a MLM/Direct marketing business for a month. Everything Drift0r said is true but if you're a good salesman and you work hard you can make some decent money from it. I was getting £25 commission for every sign up and I would average 5 a day and I wasn't even the best person in my office, some guys were doing 7 to 8 sign ups a day, 5 days a week. I ended up leaving because I didn't want to be on my feet for 10 hours a day.
I different kind of scam I almost fell prey to: A message came up on my browser from time warner cable (except it wasn't from time warner) saying that viruses were detected and not to continue using the browser and not to shut down the computer. It gave a support number to call. Normally I would have thought it was a bit fishy but I my guard was completely down I was extremely tired at the time, so I called the support number and long story short they had me download an application (I still can't believe I was stupid enough to do this). This application GAVE THEM ACCESS TO MY COMPUTER AND LET THEM CONTROL MY MOUSE. At this point I realized this was probably bad. They "checked out" the viruses, told me my computer was trashed unless I got rid of the viruses, then tried to sell me virus protection for $200. Afterwards I got my comp checked out at the apple store. Luckily it looks like they didn't raid my files or anything, they were just trying to get my money.
That smg is crazy. I dare you to do gameplay where you got rapid fire, select fire, and extended mags. :) Same with the Skorpion. Love the Chicom btw. Very unique gun.
Hey driftor, there is this anime called "Welcome to the NHK" where the main character actually gets pulled into a pyramid scheme. While it is not the main focus of the show, they do give a good 2-4 episode devotion to this scheme and not only show why people do it and how people get sucked in, but also how to recognize what it is and how you can get out of it (sorta) if it's not to late. I do not know the episodes it shows it on, but if interested I can send you the videos, there on TH-cam.
I used to work for Cutco Knives. They're system works very close to a pyramid one. They hire college kids home on summer break, and get them to go to all their friends and family with money and sell overpriced knives to them face-to-face. The business model is that people are more willing to drop coin when they know the salesman than if it is a stranger trying to rip them off. Nobody can do this job for any length of time because you will almost never get a referral to make the next tier of sales. Not a TRUE scam, but getting VERY close to it.
Drift0r you are one of my favourite youtuber your amazing you have tonnes of general knowledge of different matters apart from call of duty keep it dude
I became a victim of scare-ware before. They hitch a ride on 3rd party installs and then pose as a security company that says you have a virus. I can't believe I let them remotely take my computer to do essentially nothing and payed them with a credit card. Got the money back by canceling the credit card. So close.
I would usually agree with you on this as i was ripped off by a pyramid scheme when I was 18. But then my wife joined a multilevel marketing company recently and shes actually making a decent bit of money on it. Are the products overpriced? Sure. But you can't reasonably say that theyre ALL scams despite the fact that a good number of them are.
This is literally also how the us govt works. We sell bonds to pay for things we need and when it's time to pay back the bonds we sell more bonds to cover the cost of the old ones
Bigkingmonster408 I like how you call someone a communist like it's a bad thing to be a communist. Just because someone supports a certain ideology than you doesn't make them worth insulting. It just makes them different from you.
Wow! This literally just happened to my grandpa a couple weeks ago. Told him he won $500k, told him to send a couple thousand to Jamaica, etc etc... Ended up only getting him for like $5k, but yeah. Crazy.
Ha! The Chicom is my best gun in this game. Fast mag, laser sight, and MMS. The MMS isn't really for seeing through walls, I use it because it's a lower power zoom than even the iron sights, and it's a good reticle with a clear sight picture.
A guys collects a shelve of newspapers in his house we call him crazy. A woman hoards cats in a trailer we call her nuts. But, a person phsycologically tarnishes people and their lives in return for big profit, we put their face on the cover of Times and call them genouses. I mean people come on now.
A few internet tips; Never click on any product that you can order that is free. If something wants your credit card, but says it is free, you are about to get robbed of all your credit. If it says, "claim your gift for being the XXX visitor!", do not click on it.
I went with my wife to a meeting about ACN, the idea is you resell utilities and services to people and get a commission off them. There whole pitch is about the commissions, but if you read about it, it's all about recruiting people and getting their $500. The people there said they make 6 figures a year, but it's all a scam. I'm glad I was there to explain all this to her, because they try to be very convincing.
I've ran into people who run things a bit weirdly. They know people who already get consoles, they sell them after buyig them for, 300 dollars, the person then gets to sell the console, the original seller gets 100 of every system sold and you keep the amount. My buddys dad explained it like that back when I was 14, an he had all these new wii's and the elite xbox 360, sold like 10 on ebay and locally.
People need to do their research before buying anything. There are legit MLM & network marketing companies out there, but there are also companies that don't operate ethically. That's how things are everywhere in the world. Find something you are passionate about & enjoy doing & do that...the money will follow.
Drift0r can you talk about ideas or more things that you would like to be in cod AW because I,m excited for more multiplayer gameplay and I want to see your thoughts and what you think
Between Driftor and iFunny political groups (CU and LC) I'm learning a lot about the real world at 13! So glad you are doing these real world problem discussion video, keep'em coming Driftor
Ever heard of Vemma? I think they fall in line with what you're saying. I hear of people retiring at 40 with yachts and rolls Royce's but idk if that's legit. A bunch of people I know try to sucker me in to it. Weirdly enough it's people who play music and are in local and semi-established bands. Wondering if you know anything about it.
Yeah my dad tried doing this Rastelli meats thing for a while and we'd get our huge shipment of overpriced meats that weren't very good and then have to sell them to god knows who and try to get other people in it. It was a complete waste of time and money.
Driftor. Not only do the smaller companies operate with multi marketing but also the large companies like Comcast Time Warner all of the major Internet providers do the same thing.
Buying and selling from wholesale can be good, i used to own a cake shop selling cadburys chocolate rolls and mr kipling cherry cakes, y'know things like that. Go to a wholesalers and buy cakes in bulk cheaply then sell them at an everage price probably a little less. It was good but got boring after years of the job.
Saddly, my mom is addicted to these things. She started with Advocare, then moved on to maybe 3 or 4 other "Loose wieght NOW!" things. Yeah, she lost the weight, but then again I did to by cutting back junk and just watching what I stuffed in my mouth. I didn't need $200 worth of vitamins a month. If anything, she still tries to make a little extra, while I SAVE a bundle by buying simple foods and eating only what's necessary. Alas, some people are just trying to find the next best "IT WORKS!" and won't listen to reason. :/
Genesis pure is one that'll screw you, but cutco knives are actually pretty great! We talked to a salesman once and bought two knives, the best 2 we own.
My friend does Vemma, he's 'successful' I guess. He has a benz and house with some mates. He told me to join but I just can't buy into it. I also don't know if this vemma crap will cave in a few years, you never know.
You can make money in Multi-Level Marketing, you just have to be a smooth talker and can bring people in. Like the guys at the mall selling hand lotion.
Sometimes buying things in bulk isn't that bad I know a guy who buys shoes in bulk from a licensed person to get it cheap and he sells them for like 80$ and make a lot of money since these shoes would normally go for 100$-150$
The most uneducated piece on MLM I have ever heard. The best example of a pyramid scheme is the state pension.. I am in .'network marketing' in the UK. Im still being paid for stuff I did ten years ago..
Drift0r, you should look up vector marketing. That thing is a legal scam lol. They tell you that they have the best kitchen knives in the world but do not sell them in stores lmao!!!
I did this with a company called "Vemma" ... It's pyramid-like yea, but they have several products, some fitness, some energy drinks. It's actually a decent product. It's much more logical system but it's still a LOT of risk like avon.
Drift0r, you said that the guy selling the house was a "smart guy" but, I'm sorry, he's really not. He might be a really nice guy, but he's decidedly NOT a "smart guy." He got taken in by the Jamaican Lottery scam twice... TWICE! Even if he was a generally trusting person, there is something to that old adage about, "Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me." Very often, the people that get taken in by these scams are motivated by greed. "If I pay $10,000 for a processing fee, I'm going to get $1,000,000!!!" or "Wow, I only have to pay $1,000 for a starter kit and then I can get in on the ground floor of this new opportunity and make $1,000,000!!!" or even the case of the woman who bought, what she thought was a flat-screen TV out of the trunk of a car at a gas station and it turned out to be an old oven door; I'm sure she thought she was buying stolen merchandise, as was ok with that because it benefited her. So, yeah, I see greed as a major factor in a lot of these fraud cases; and to be perfectly honest, a lot of these people deserve what they get.
Also try not to do any sort of business with friends, even if its clean business and seems harmless, can go south and you could loose a friend over a bad business investment.
A girl I know has recently fallen into this problem. She is 16 years old and just had a baby, and was in need of some sort of income from home. So she bought into the wholesale idea, buying a licence to get the product directly from the manufacturer. Being a 16 year old girl, she did this with make-up. Now she has hundreds of bottles of several different bottles of make-up she's bought for thousands of dollars, and trying to sell them $1 less than the stores price, the problem being she doesn't have the marketing, nor the demand to sell the products (I live in a small town, with a large elderly population). It's sad to see a girl I know fall into large debt at 16, and I can only imagine the problems it's bringing to her family. It really is a terrible scam..
Nice talk. I had an aquaintance who showed me one of these that he was into (pyramid-scheme product sales) I examined it and told him that I didn't want to perpetuate something non-sustainable. What was most funny were that the only counter arguments that ever came out his mouth were these vague remarks about "how it empowers you to be your own boss," and other vague free market pioneer feel-good sayings XD
Primerica is another one of these. They want you to sell insurance or something like it to people, but encourage you to recruit others to do the same to make money, while taking a cut. The recruiter when on and on about #'s , but wouldn't give any paperwork. I'm an adult and the guy kept asking to talk to my parents for me. Wow.
Did they tell you how they have 100,000 reps? Funny how that number never changes.
These schemes are pretty common here in the Netherlands. Most of them revolves around unknowing trainees going door -to door with a certain product.
A friend of mine took on a 'job' but he didn't manage to get the weekly 'sales target' and long story short: He did not get payed for his invested time, nor for the amount of products that he did manage to sell. So basically, the higher ups didn't need to pay him salary but still got the profit of the sold products.
i worked with a woman who fell for the same foreign lottery scam she took out a 5000 loan, half the people at the store tried tell her it was a scam, the sad thing is at least a third of the people at the store thought it was real and would have fell for it too
My friend tried to get me involved into a pyramid scheme that his family is really involved in. He literally asked every person he knew to join and just made himself look like a bellend. Looking back on it I'm glad I didn't join cause as you said, I would've been shafted.
Mom always taught me, "If it's to good to be true, then it probably is." If he is such a "smart man" how did he fall for the same scam twice?
Fool me once, shame one you. Fool me twice, shame on me.
I assume he fell for the sunk-cost fallacy.
He already invested X amount of money into it, and is offered to invest Y more to complete it.
If he didn't, the money X would be lost.
So he feels pressured to invest even more.
cooldude 4172 Just ask George W. Bush.
I currently work for a company like what you're describing. I will say that it doesn't work for everyone, but if you put the work into it, it does.

I love how the ad for this was the three tips guy to become a millionaire

Can you talk about how Communism is NOT the best for America, and how it would destroy the country. A lot of teens think it is some great thing, but surely you can talk some sense into them?
communism in the real world is not the best but in a prefect world its the best
minecraftkyorg Well that's any political ideology it ALL sounds good in its purest form.
Yeah, communism failed in Russia because it wasn't actually communism, it was just a Dictatorship wearing make up. (Kim Jong wearing make up just popped in my mind now.)
The perfect world, a Utopia, would be run by communism, but that just isn't the reality.

This is the most hilarious and informative video I have seen in awhile. Thank you Drift!
Religion, greatest scam of all time.
No Atheism is because you spent all your money on their books :)
Bigkingmonster408
Theists have been doing it for years. Attach god to your product and suddenly people are interested.
Bigkingmonster408 :) Yep
***** If you look around in your city or town you can tell that more and more people are not okay with God. I got made fun of at school for being christian, and when you that christians are being abused people bring up "Christians killed people for centuries" as an excuse to discriminate on them. SO no it doesn't work the way you think.
Bigkingmonster408 I didnt say people in Religion bro,the people took it and made a way to make money from it. If it offened you I appologize.
I applied for a job at a "marketing" company once that sells knives. Found out in the interview it was a pyramid scheme. I left afterwards and told them I wouldn't be returning and the guy was livid.
Probably pissed that you managed to snap the line and get away before being reeled in xD
CJWorks exactly. He missed one... too bad I didn't notice beforehand. Wouldn't have wasted so much time. But it was a lesson well learned!
Vector Marketing, right?
SetsunaNoUta You must now what's up! How'd you know?
I almost fell for the same thing. I was interested in making 15/hr for college, but I looked it all up and found out it was a scam.
There's a similar scam in the art world, "We want you to design something for our product, we won't be paying you but you get experience and publicity..." ... Never works out.
Some of my friends are in one of these called Verve. They think its sooo legit and they're gonna make thousands from it lol
The Drake & Josh episode with the Gary Coleman grills
The biggest scam is call of duty
Oh, yeah, because you're TOTALLY forced to shell out fifteen bucks every month. Because you're TOTALLY required to do anything that could scam you out of your money.
DLC scams yep lol.
GunShard
they're completely optional and you get a bunch of stuff for money, not a scam.
But the dlc sooo good (drool) must buy shitty ghosts dlc ... Must bye !!! And i bought season pass BIG MISTAKE !!! And that was when I hated it
Kuroda - 9 year old cod fanboy
Ya, I've been scammed once, not on real life, but instead in a video game! I got scammed 50mill in the game :/

Drift0r you are one of my favourite youtuber your amazing you have tonnes of general knowledge of different matters apart from call of duty keep it dude
i love the emails that say they're going to give you an atm card with 50,000,000 but you have to send 10 payments of 25 dollars for shipping hahahah
Really like this kind of vids. Keep up the great work.
Damn i love your video ! it's nice because you don't only talk about gaming but everything.. keep it up drift0r #1youtuber
I became a victim of scare-ware before. They hitch a ride on 3rd party installs and then pose as a security company that says you have a virus.

Drift0r, thank you. I actually work for a kinfe company called Cutco and it is amazing how to the tee you have pinned them down.
Drift0r totally shat on the LagBuster
Got 41 and 1 on TDM with the Chicom yesterday. Now it's my favorite weapon.

no that is an investment just like stocks
LOL Communist alert!
Bigkingmonster408 I like how you call someone a communist like it's a bad thing to be a communist. Just because someone supports a certain ideology than you doesn't make them worth insulting. It just makes them different from you.
***** It WOULD work if people wouldn't do what they're going to do(be an ass, be greedy, etc.)
Aroniea Orrion but that goes directly against human nature. communism wont work for other reasons as well
Please do more if these! Great video.
Wow! This literally just happened to my grandpa a couple weeks ago. Told him he won $500k, told him to send a couple thousand to Jamaica, etc etc... Ended up only getting him for like $5k, but yeah. Crazy.
Ha! The Chicom is my best gun in this game. Fast mag, laser sight, and MMS. The MMS isn't really for seeing through walls, I use it because it's a lower power zoom than even the iron sights, and it's a good reticle with a clear sight picture.
A guys collects a shelve of newspapers in his house we call him crazy.
A woman hoards cats in a trailer we call her nuts.
But, a person phsycologically tarnishes people and their lives in return for big profit, we put their face on the cover of Times and call them genouses.
I mean people come on now.
My Mum's an Avon Rep, and she enjoys doing it as a part time job - it's not all about the money! :)
A few internet tips; Never click on any product that you can order that is free. If something wants your credit card, but says it is free, you are about to get robbed of all your credit. If it says, "claim your gift for being the XXX visitor!", do not click on it.
Nice quality PSA, Driftor. Good stuff for desperate people to know.
All I got out of this was basically someone saying it was too hard to click the trigger and aim and not just hold it down
Buy this comment and tell all your friends about it for a discount.
Okay done!
TAKE MY MONEY :D
The people who sell CutCo knives and Vector Marketing
all this talk of scams and pyramid schemes reminds me of the episode in alwasy sunny in philidelphia
I went with my wife to a meeting about ACN, the idea is you resell utilities and services to people and get a commission off them. There whole pitch is about the commissions, but if you read about it, it's all about recruiting people and getting their $500. The people there said they make 6 figures a year, but it's all a scam. I'm glad I was there to explain all this to her, because they try to be very convincing.
Thank you drifter I learned a lot from this video.
I've ran into people who run things a bit weirdly. They know people who already get consoles, they sell them after buyig them for, 300 dollars, the person then gets to sell the console, the original seller gets 100 of every system sold and you keep the amount.
My buddys dad explained it like that back when I was 14, an he had all these new wii's and the elite xbox 360, sold like 10 on ebay and locally.
People need to do their research before buying anything. There are legit MLM & network marketing companies out there, but there are also companies that don't operate ethically. That's how things are everywhere in the world. Find something you are passionate about & enjoy doing & do that...the money will follow.
Something like this happend to me some time ago. A friend of mine tryed to pull me into selling live-ensurences in such a pyramid. Total crap
My friend's uncle Alan spent 6 years in prison for a real estate investment fraud. He defrauded over 200 investors for more than 12 million.
Drift0r can you talk about ideas or more things that you would like to be in cod AW because I,m excited for more multiplayer gameplay and I want to see your thoughts and what you think
I KNEW IT WAS CHYCCOM AND NOT CHICKUHM. That's all, thank you.
i like saying chick-um
I love learning new things about weapons.
Chyccom sounds like a mortal kombat fighter's name
You can pronounce it either way, it's like the FAMAS
KatPWR RWBY. Nice :D
Between Driftor and iFunny political groups (CU and LC) I'm learning a lot about the real world at 13! So glad you are doing these real world problem discussion video, keep'em coming Driftor
Perfect examples are Vemma Verve and Wake up now... and I totally find the irony in the company name of wake up now too much to handle...
Ever heard of Vemma? I think they fall in line with what you're saying. I hear of people retiring at 40 with yachts and rolls Royce's but idk if that's legit. A bunch of people I know try to sucker me in to it. Weirdly enough it's people who play music and are in local and semi-established bands. Wondering if you know anything about it.
Yeah my dad tried doing this Rastelli meats thing for a while and we'd get our huge shipment of overpriced meats that weren't very good and then have to sell them to god knows who and try to get other people in it. It was a complete waste of time and money.
You forgot Tupperware parties Drift0r. Man the 90s was weird. Parties for food containers.
Driftor. Not only do the smaller companies operate with multi marketing but also the large companies like Comcast Time Warner all of the major Internet providers do the same thing.
ive never hear of that thanks for future advice
I use the JS2 in BF4 in Burst mode only, because that's how it was in Blops 2
Buying and selling from wholesale can be good, i used to own a cake shop selling cadburys chocolate rolls and mr kipling cherry cakes, y'know things like that. Go to a wholesalers and buy cakes in bulk cheaply then sell them at an everage price probably a little less. It was good but got boring after years of the job.
There's already places that do that. They're called Costco, BJ's and Sam's Club.
You also forgot about the Nigerian Prince emails lol :)
"Quickdraw, Grip and a long barrel"...
...Grip...
...Grip...
Forgotten already Drift0r? (also it didn't have a grip on)
Saddly, my mom is addicted to these things. She started with Advocare, then moved on to maybe 3 or 4 other "Loose wieght NOW!" things. Yeah, she lost the weight, but then again I did to by cutting back junk and just watching what I stuffed in my mouth. I didn't need $200 worth of vitamins a month. If anything, she still tries to make a little extra, while I SAVE a bundle by buying simple foods and eating only what's necessary. Alas, some people are just trying to find the next best "IT WORKS!" and won't listen to reason. :/
Genesis pure is one that'll screw you, but cutco knives are actually pretty great! We talked to a salesman once and bought two knives, the best 2 we own.
Oooh, a new Ghosts in Depth...
My friend does Vemma, he's 'successful' I guess. He has a benz and house with some mates. He told me to join but I just can't buy into it. I also don't know if this vemma crap will cave in a few years, you never know.
You can make money in Multi-Level Marketing, you just have to be a smooth talker and can bring people in. Like the guys at the mall selling hand lotion.
Why is there no dlc or patches or updated for the Wii u
Sometimes buying things in bulk isn't that bad I know a guy who buys shoes in bulk from a licensed person to get it cheap and he sells them for like 80$ and make a lot of money since these shoes would normally go for 100$-150$
The most uneducated piece on MLM I have ever heard. The best example of a pyramid scheme is the state pension.. I am in .'network marketing' in the UK. Im still being paid for stuff I did ten years ago..
Rainbow vacuums sellers are notorious for doing this
Run escape teaches you about life. Never trust anybody with money if your in the wild or night.
hey driftor could u plz do more vids like this
Drift0r, you should look up vector marketing. That thing is a legal scam lol. They tell you that they have the best kitchen knives in the world but do not sell them in stores lmao!!!
I did this with a company called "Vemma" ... It's pyramid-like yea, but they have several products, some fitness, some energy drinks. It's actually a decent product. It's much more logical system but it's still a LOT of risk like avon.
Maybe do a seperate video for Vemma?
PLES talk about the home invasion story from a while ago
Drift0r, you said that the guy selling the house was a "smart guy" but, I'm sorry, he's really not. He might be a really nice guy, but he's decidedly NOT a "smart guy." He got taken in by the Jamaican Lottery scam twice... TWICE! Even if he was a generally trusting person, there is something to that old adage about, "Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me."
Very often, the people that get taken in by these scams are motivated by greed. "If I pay $10,000 for a processing fee, I'm going to get $1,000,000!!!" or "Wow, I only have to pay $1,000 for a starter kit and then I can get in on the ground floor of this new opportunity and make $1,000,000!!!" or even the case of the woman who bought, what she thought was a flat-screen TV out of the trunk of a car at a gas station and it turned out to be an old oven door; I'm sure she thought she was buying stolen merchandise, as was ok with that because it benefited her. So, yeah, I see greed as a major factor in a lot of these fraud cases; and to be perfectly honest, a lot of these people deserve what they get.
Hey you should look into ACN. It's one of those business that seem too good to be true!
Also try not to do any sort of business with friends, even if its clean business and seems harmless, can go south and you could loose a friend over a bad business investment.
Which headset is better for the Xbox One? Triton Kama stereo headset or Turtle Beach Ear Force XO Four?
Six Pack Shortcuts is my personal favorite scam I've ever seen in my life! lol If it sounds to good to be true, IT IS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE!
My mom was an AVON seller and she did get profit and mostly did it so that she wouldnt have to buy make up from somewhere else
