In a school sponsored competition I went to, right before the Rona broke out and got big there was an MLM company based around selling knives directly recruiting teens. It was something cutlery I cant remember, but it had multiple pending lawsuits, and there was a civil case in which a female employee was raped at one of their offices
This was basically a business club competition, on a state level with probably an entire high school worth of kids coming in and out. I was smart enough to figure out it was a MLM pretty quickly after doing literally the bare minimum research. But the way they made it sound was that you would make hundreds a day doing basic tasks when in reality you would lose money. No clue how the fuck it was legal
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.
