I still get telemarketing calls to this day (6 yrs later) about my *online business*. I tell the callers I am a bad lead and they should get their money back for the outdated lead list. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-been-recruited#post-685138 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 16:23:44 +0000 loveisstrange 685138@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been hit up for both Scentsy and Origami Owl. Not shady necessarily, but they are pyramid schemes for sure. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-been-recruited#post-685126 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 16:18:26 +0000 prettylizy 685126@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: bummer! I hope you didn't end up out any money. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-been-recruited#post-685084 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 15:58:38 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 685084@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A family friend succesdfully recruited me to a travel/ booking pyramid. Stupid, Stupid, Stupid! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-been-recruited#post-685072 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 15:55:45 +0000 prettylizy 685072@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LemonLong: awkward right? My DH is in sales and he gets people all the time saying to him "I'll buy from you if you join my startup" or whatever. He has had three different people try to pitch him on these stupid video phones. Ugh! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-been-recruited#post-685061 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 15:52:59 +0000 LemonLong 685061@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a girl from high school do that to me. I hadnt seen her in over 10 years and one day she texted me out of the blue asking how I was, and if she could call me because she had a question for me. I texted back that she could call me anytime and got no response. A couple weeks later some lady is calling me saying the girl from high school recommended me as a "real self starter" and she had a great opportunity it for me! I don't even know what they were trying to sell, but I shut it down real quick. I was so mad! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-been-recruited#post-685028 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 15:41:13 +0000 prettylizy 685028@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>To a pyramid shceme or MLM? I got an email from an old boss today asking how I was and offering me a job opportunity. I was super skeptical becaues we did not end on good terms at all. Out of morbid curiosity I responded politely then did a little FB snooping. She is totally trying to recruit me into her pyramid scheme MLM thingy for some revolutionary face cream. Really? Not happening folks. lol! </p>
