so my friend andrew called me back tonight, asked if i wanted to help him out and get
that cellphone plan. i regretfully told him no, and then asked him straight on,
is this some sort of pyramid scheme? without hesitation he agreed with me, that it is a form of pyramid scheming, but the politically correct lingo is
multi-level marketing and the keyword is
home business. he said some people get defensive when the phrase
pyramid scheme is brought up, but he has no qualms in freely admitting that it is such a scheme, but it's just a marketing method, and the one that he's associated with is pretty legit, with real financial backing and stocks and the company ceo interviewed in major business publications. he has to get 20 customers before he can start recruiting. so far he has 7 culled from various friends and family members. i still find it kind of suspicious, but if that's what he wants to do, i support him, i just can't give him any money. besides, isn't that a golden rule, money and friendship should never mix?
