Nuskin friend, ISBU?

An old school friend has just contacted me to try and get me to join her selling Nuskin products. I have done a quick search and read the links she sent me and it seems to be pyramid selling and all a little too good to be true?
So, my questions are: is it actually the answer to my prayers and the way to being filthy rich?
If it's all bollocks, do you think she knows?
Because if she doesn't then I hope she doesn't lose £ herself, or if she does then does that make her a bit of a cow for trying to get me involved and to then make £ from me?

Excellent call, BeerTricks!

Wow imagine that as one of your key objectives for the year: "Discover something that will change the world." Poor stressed team of scientists, dreading their annual appraisal. Perhaps they try to bluff their way through by coming up with made up stuff like an "ageLOC galvanic spa". "Handheld" no less.

It's amazing how these pioneering scientists seem to be changing the world with their cosmetic advances. Shame they can't focus their obvious talents towards making medical advances

Fuuuck! They're invading.

I'd like DrDave and his henchwoman to post before and after pictures of themselves so we can judge whether this gift from God has really made them younger. I wonder if La Brick uses it, or maybe Liz Jones. They look mental enough to!

WilsonFrickett · 29/11/2012 14:11

Grin OP

I'd like a gift from God and to have the skin of a 20 year old. How can this fail?

wewereherefirst · 29/11/2012 14:13

Seems legit. Hmm

DialsMavis · 29/11/2012 14:14

If friend had seen me since DD suddenly stopped sleeping, at all, ever. In August, she may not think I am the best person to flog these miracle products. Or maybe she has heard about the shopping bags under my eyes and I have been getting my knickers in a twist over a simple hint that I look like a knackered old crone.

You need a scanner for age-related macular regeneration, you do

I'm just writing the word 'nuskin' again in the hope it shows up on a search and another cultmember advocate of the product appears. I like them and their gifts and shizz.

Epic fail there, notmum.

SuePurblyFeltYourPresents · 29/11/2012 14:37

I am much younger and prettier by these products and I am very saddened that you choose to believe the internet over the word of The Nu Skin Leader. Who tells this joyous message on the internet. But not the one you shouldn't believe.
I think join, what ru have to be losing???!!?

WilsonFrickett · 29/11/2012 14:39

WEBCHAT!!!!!!! YESSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!

HearMyRoar · 29/11/2012 14:43

Wow! this thread has just made my day... come and read the crazy people :o

junowiththegladrags · 29/11/2012 14:43

I used to be plagued by pitying looks due to my old saggy face. Boy scouts would offer to help me cross the road. Saga sent me discount codes for funeral plans.

Then I found nu-skin. Suddenly I look 21 again. My skin is like new! People have to shade their eyes from my fresh faced glow.

I also have started to shit golden eggs daily which I believe is solely down to nu-skin.

BaronessBomburst · 29/11/2012 14:44

PML at this thread. Grin I thought it rhymned with 'ruskin' too.

DialsMavis I would like to be one of the first five on the 'Nu-Nap' pyramid though. Where do I sign?

HearMyRoar · 29/11/2012 14:45

Sounds painful

HearMyRoar · 29/11/2012 14:45

The golden eggs i mean
