Blocked travel MLM / NM former colleague

Long story short. I have for some time been facebook 'friends' with a former colleague, who when lockdown started, set up a travel MLM / NM 'business. Almost everyday she posts about how the travel industry is booming, about how many thousands of pounds worth of bookings she and her team have taken in the last week alone, and about how she's booked herself several exotic holidays for next year. She's also been pestering me to join her team and earn huge amounts.

I must admit I was tempted, but have now become so fed up of her incessant bragging and 'positivity' that I have now blocked her both on SM and on my phone.

Also my SIL has just started as a Younique rep and is pestering me to buy a 4D mascara. It's really annoying.

Anyway not sure why I've posted. I think I'm just fed up of the constant smugness. Surely being an MLM/NM travel agent is not a secure job and is not the best way to book a holiday.

Joining an MLM/ pyramid scheme is a great way to lose lots of money and friends.

They are pestering you because they don’t really have all that money

They want you to join so they can make money from you making money...but you don’t really make any either so really it’s a waste of time

Last year I tried to support a Travel MLM friend by booking a holiday flight & accommodation. The price she quoted me was more than double what I'd been quoted elsewhere. Needless to say - No thanks. Made me realise it's a total scam but honestly, how do they survive? She still seems to be in business

MLMs are scams and money puts. If you join you’ll lose a hell of a lot of money.
