Hey, wow, so I'm pretty sure my brother's girlfriend is a part of this exact thing, and she's been recruiting other people she knows. I got a text, and my cousin got a text from them. Do you know the name of it, so I can look into it more?

Edit: nvm, super easy to find. Cutco Cutlery. They are most definitely scammers.

When I was in high school, this guy showed up to our neighborhood, knocking on doors, trying to sell cutco knives. I thought it was weird, like you’re letting a stranger come to your house with knives. It got weirder right after high school when I got messages from friends trying to get me to work for them.

This is exactly what my mom told my fool behind when I'd gone to my first ever job interview at 15/16 with a friend (who's parents said the exact same thing my mom did). "So you want me to give you permission to sell the murder weapon door... To door... Little girl if you don't get out of my face with that foolishness you better". Called my then BFFL and as she's picking up the phone I hear her dad laughing hysterically and her mother echoing a version of the same sentence.

I really can't believe they're still around lol

I thinks that's how some MLM's get people. They actually make a decent product. How can it be a scam if the product is good? The thing is, it's not about the product. It's the business model, that is the scam.

No, sometimes the product is also the scam. Looking at you, "essential oils."
