MLMs and other networking businesses seem to be dying here in the Metro but are still going strong in the provinces. I've never really been too trusting of these guys since one of these groups nearly got me to join back when i was a sophomore in college. Being young and stupid, i was curious about it so i signed up. They acted all nice and chummy at first then they get really pushy and demanding once they drew you in. I finally told them to shove it after two days.
I'm especially angry at one of these since it essentially cost a good friend of mine his college education. The guy actually dropped out of college because he said he wanted to pursue his supposedly "blossoming" future with this group and we soon lost contact with him. A few years later, i then hear that this group ran off with a lot of his earnings and disappeared to who-the-hell-knows-where.
Ever since then, my standard reply to whoever tries to invite me to one of these "business opportunities" is a narrow-eyed glare and a finger-flip.
