Or a "pyramid scheme".

In the past few months I've tried to be recruited 4 times by 4 different people. And it would have been a 5th time if another friend hadn't warned me about getting a call from another friend...

Seriously, what is with all these kids getting brain washed into thinking they can make money fast? Certainaly there is SOME room for success in these types of businesses but you'd have to risk investing a lot of money, and by the time you make "enough", you're breaking even with yourself....

"Let me assure you that this is not one of those shady pyramid schemes you've been hearing about. No sir. Our model is the trapezoid!"

I almost fell for one.

None, but to be fair I don't have that many friends. My parents did, however.

A lot of people back in college tried to recruit me, one even got really mad at me when I didn't look interested,

I'm involved in MLM through my parents. However, I'm about to go out on my own and start posting gameplay videos on YouTube to try to get noticed.
