*taps on forehead Can’t get brought into a pyramid scheme by a high school friend if you didn’t have any friends in high school
Similar story… My cousin who i never hear from, she calls me on my birthday. I’m like holy shit! Cool. How ya doin?!
She was trying to sell me some sort of phone service. After bowing out of that call, she got pissed and never called me again. That was years ago.Dude from high school contacted me out of nowhere. “You seem like you’re good with people. I’ve got an opportunity for you!” Me: “I’m an engineer with autism, what do you think?”
He seemed truly surprised that I wouldn’t jump at the opportunity. And to top it off, he never could tell me exactly what he was trying to sell.
And if it’s such a good opportunity then why are you trying to push it onto me.
If he wasn’t telling you, it was Amway.
So glad I’m no longer on any social media platforms where these people hunt. I left Facebook (for unrelated reasons) shortly after I got an invite to someone’s Oriflame page. :D
My sister got into one. They are literal cults of personality.
I remember a couple of years ago someone from high school (2 years ahead of me) messaged me out of the blue. I never really interacted with that person even back in high school, and their opening message was asking if I had zoom. Checked out her profile and as expected, MLM.
MLM?
Multi Level Marketing. Another therm for Pyramid Scheme.
Or, after a failed marriage, look to reconnect with an old hs crush.

Come to think of it, Tartakovsky’s Grevious, vs. George Lucas’s Grevious would make a great expectations vs. reality template.
Hey man! I just started getting into crypto – I know, I know, it’s an unstable market. But I’ve been hitting numbers like 1200% on my returns! Any interest in joining the movement?
You SOB… I’m in!
That’s why I dollar cost average. It reduces the impact of instability and gives you a more average return.
But of course the reality doesn’t match my theory, so it’ll collapse any decade now.
There’s more than a grain of truth to this one. It happened to me
They could also be a junkie. I had a friend from HS contact me and when I responded, she said “I have a drug problem and live in a motel and have no money. Could you give me some?” Like point blank, no subtlety at all. I felt bad but blocked her.
At least she was honest about it up front. /shrug
