An old housemate got sucked into selling cleaning products door to door, in fairness she copped on to herself within a couple of weeks that it wasnt a real job.
An old work colleague has gone full tilt into selling diet supplements for the past few years, her Facebook profile went from normal to 15 posts a day about miracle supplements and a couple of posts a day about recruiting people.
Had to remove her from Facebook, just had a quick look and she’s still at it.
I’m always amazed that people fall for it so quickly and so hard.
Know one who got sucked into that Younique one for a while. Thankfully she saw it for what it was before sinking too much into it
They were quite big in Derry for a while too, lots of people falling for them
Tupperware – the scientology of the Irish housewife.
Yip, 25-18 years ago. I did the Tupperware parties, the weekly meetings were a total brainwash and you spend lots of money on the next offers as you have to show them at your parties. Also did Ann Summers, i was very good at those parties and with me being Dutch (not a local girl) the ladies felt confident buying the toys from me. Made it into the top 10 sales people in UK and Ireland. 😂
Unfortunately my Mom got sucked into not one but 4 or 5 different MLMs back then.
Swiss magical herbal creams, Tupperware, magical cancer-healing magnets, Aloe gels you can name it I’ve seen all.
She was a single parent with 4 kids. I think what seduced her was the community behind these meetings where she can meet and talk with others, and they just exploited this disgustingly. She spent a good amount of her money on these products, while we were still struggling month to month with basic needs of like heating the apartment, having proper clothing or eating.
I despise any kind of MLMs based on what I had to endure as a kid.
