"anybody here ever participate in these financial boards or "blessings"....."

He said he got $800 but it feels like a scam.
He’s also one of those oeoooe who is always looking for a shortcut to a come up

That will filter out 90% of scams.
Why is King Jaffe Joffer promising to wire me $100 million if I send him $500 worth of gift cards? That doesn't make any sense at all.
Why do you want me to cash this $1000 check and give you $500 worth of gift cards keeping the other $500 for myself? That doesn't make any sense at all.
Why would I make more money if I bring more people into the "business" of selling ugly ass tights that if I just sold the ugly ass tights myself? That doesn't make any sense at all.
Why would I get back $800 on $100 for doing nothing? That doesn't make any sense at all?

last week.
I think it was like I put in $1100 and get back $11,000 or something.
There was also an option of putting in $200 and getting $800 back.
It all sounded like the biggest scam in the world.
I asked what happened if I gave them money and didn't get the correct amount of people under me, do I get my money back and the connect didn't have an answer for me.
If you are gonna try to sell someone on something, especially when everyone is short on bread because we in a pandemic then you gotta be rock solid with all the answers.
Anyway yeah nah definitely said no and it made me feel sorry for my connect for thinking I was actually the one to play with about my money lmao.

What are you even arguing about?
Dudes implying truth can’t have friends who have questionable financial practices like it can kill a friendship.
Ain’t nothing wrong with being friends with someone who is into MLM shit.. just don’t participate.

If my Nubian sister wants to sell me on essential oils or my brotha wants to sell me an MLM scheme it ain’t the end of our friendship.
I just say no.
We can still watch the game tho. Again, it ain’t that serious.

fam doing it so it’s not a scam if it’s done right
but the “done right” part is where it turns into a scam.
Someone is always going to bail once they get the pot and not put in their share for the next person.
Now if this is something where you have to find 8 people under you it’s definitely a scam. That’s work. Might as well hustle by your damn self.

Black folks being suspicious of pyramid schemes being connected to success by immigrants in any way is silly.
And the idea that some immigrants start and maintain businesses due to doing this doesn't mean that Black folks shouldn't be concerned and on the look out for obvious scams.
Finally, a family deciding to pool their resources together is totally different than your homie hitting you up to see if you want to find 8 other people to be taken for a bullshit ride.

what immigrants do.
I do think black people should be more curious about how quickly foreigners are able to set up successful businesses in our neighborhoods and we are not.
25. "There are “scammers” in literally every type of business from..." In response to Reply # 23
from “cryptocurrency”, to brick and mortar stores, restaurants and bars, churches, “legal services”, the entire medical industry is the biggest scam ever, student loans, banking, real estate, construction, “lash techs” lol, the list goes on and on.
There is nothing wrong with having a conversation.

...are never billionaire rich but telling you how you can become rich by investing in this and that or stock/business, it's like they write up some bullshit then on the sly has some sly way of asking you for money to get the "so-called" real info cause the free trial info isn't really the good stuff, LOL.
It's like if you aint' a billionaire by now, why in the fuck would I do what you did?
