I noticed it on IG & FB and they'd have these magical wraps and shakes that would make you lose 14 stone in a day! (Or something as daft as that!)
They would then say oh I was wondering if anyone wanted to fill one of my spaces to trial the products for a month. Being naive and tight I thought free stuff for a month, which reportedly halves your body size in a day with a wrap and a shake, yes please. To find out I was expected to pay like £40 for the privilege. My Mum was right if something sounds too good to be true it usually is.
I've got various friends with one brand, a few more with another brand, then a handful more trying to sell what can only be described as a mix between household goods & make up that banishes wrinkles, cures a variety of diseases.
My news feeds were like skimming quickly through the sales channels on Sky.
Because they're friends you want to say can you just feck off with the constant posts and pyramid schemes. But I tried to tell two that were selling it, it was a pyramid scheme, I've never been so bored in my life whilst I was regaled how their CEO takes offence at the term pyramid scheme. It's a marketing opportunity.
It's nothing new, I know that some people swear by these pills, shakes and potions. Some people will believe for £25 you can buy a wrinkle iron. Sounds rather painful to me.
I honestly avoid most SM now as it's beyond annoying. I am right aren't I thinking its a pyramid scheme?
