Nuskin friend, ISBU?

[DialsMavis]

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?

The business start up kit for nu-nap is a competitive £2k but you do get a pack of those hats that sort of spiral out from one sheet of paper from the 1980s, some of those fluffy bug heads attached to promotional ribbons and a clock radio alarm PM me for details

Hear, pain is a thing of the past since nu-skin rearranged my pain receptors at a genetic level.
Would of thought that was obvious to be honest.

ROFL @ Sue I really thought you were one of them for a minute.

DrDave, in my head you are Dr Nick from the Simpsons. This pleases me greatly.

ROFL @ juno

And it saddens me when I see people believe in the Internet more than they believe in their friends.

It makes me jump for joy. Anybody can make an innocent error of judgement. Thanks to the internet, we can check things like this out and spot each others' errors of judgement. What's being a better friend than that?

This thread has made me so happy

The company founded the charity Nourish the Children that has supplied 280 million meals to starving children worldwide.

Yeah I think 'charity' is pushing it a bit for 'a commercial co-venture' which:

'leverages the strength and staying power of a for-profit corporation in cooperation with charitable organizations like Feed the Children to help solve the complex world problem of feeding malnourished children. The price charged by Nu Skin for VitaMeal includes the cost of manufacturing, general overhead, distribution, sales, and commissions to Nu Skin distributors, as well as a reasonable profit margin. Total commissions paid to Nu Skin distributors average slightly more than 40 percent of Nu Skin?s total product sales.'

So all these millionaires you claim you've created are actually skimming off the world's poor. Nice, really, really nice.

Can we get into the funding of Romney as well while you're all here please?

Ooh nice one. Surely that will attract the loons!

This thread is fantastic - it's like Trolls R'Us

Please, please don't delete it - it's fab that we've been invaded by fake scientists with their wondrous fake product. I love snakeoil-salesman scientists.

oh I LOVE it when some poor sod sees 'MUM' in the sitename and assumes dewy eyed gullibility

I think they've given up.

Come back! I have blackheads and atheism!

I have been googling some of the Nu-skin websites and my antivirus software has rejected several of them. when I finally found one with prices on I realised why you need the hard sell to sell the products. You need lots of £££ to but them.

To think I was looking in the mirror only this morning thinking my Soap and Glory Wish Upon a Jar is just not strong enough to hold back the years any more. And now Mumsnet has come up with the answer. I will be your first customer Mavis. When can you come around and galvanise my face?

I used to struggle to feed my family on my investment banker's wage. Then, a friend introduced me to NuSkin. At first I was skeptical, but after I dabbed some on my face my cells rejuvenated and I looked 12 years old. I jumped for joy - and accidentally jumped over a building!

Now we're multi-trillionaires who spend our time sunning ourselves on the terrace and talking about galvinac scanner thingies, and investment bankers clean the pool.

Does anyone else just feel galvanised reading about this

I genuinely feel motivated to fix world peace today because of Nuskin

and be nicer to sqirrels

its tres weird.

My typing is suffering today.
When
buy

D'oh!

I am considering sending a jar of nu-skin to the UN as I feel confident that it will galvanise them into sorting out the whole Israel Palestine problem.

I think it's what God would want.

Mavis, I may have got the price wrong. But it is a very rough draft

You didn't say whether Nu Skin Vita Meals should be included in the NuNap pack, perhaps leveraging the power of global delusion to help harassed mothers rest easy on a genetic level? Or something.

This is a great thread. I thought it was something to do with squirrels at first. Very disappointed to find it's just gifts from God

I tried to post a comment but I'd have had to use FB and outed myself.

yes! Yes! Yes! You are on board... Nap-corp needs thinkers like you or "naproneurs" as we nauseatingly like to refer to them in our manifesto. Nu-nap actually promotes the "heat Dials Mavis' DC's home" fund as its un registered charity. DP and I have actually thrown caution to the wind & bunged heating on today as it is his birthday & the profits are clearly about to start rolling in.

This article makes interesting reading: "Nu-skin facing the ultimate whistle-blower" Maybe you should forward it to your friend, OP...

A relative of mine tried to recruit me to Nu Skin a decade or so ago. I said no, obviously (I'd already done some investigative work on Amway a few years earlier, and Nu Skin seems to be much the same with extra pressure and added pseudoscientific gobbledygook), and I have to report that said relative is a) not a millionaire, b) really quite wrinkly.

Whereas Nu Nap sounds much more attractive as a business model...
