Yep. Ponzi/pyramid. Nothing personal, but your friend is a chump.

And is setting up Stupid Youngin as the next patsy.

That's how these places operate.  "Sell everywhere.  Family, friends, strangers, everywhere."  When you get sucked in, you magically lose all your friends.

Someone here wrote an experience with this sort of thing (V3X?  Rat?  I can't remember who.)  It was awful.

Ah, the CutCo knives gambit. I appreciate the OP's patience and desire for more info, but I think you all have this right on the money.

I really can't emphasise how much of a scam the thing is. Others beat me to it and are bang on the money.

I ended up going to about 5/6 interviews in a row all for similar kind of things to this. Fortunatley I had a relatively good nose for such things due to prior... experiences.

His "friend" is about 95% likely to pitch him as his friend is already thinking of him as a paycheck. Sorry, but I'd bet organs on it. It's shitty, sucks in people desperate for work and always, always ends badly. Try and get your friend out if they're worth the effort. If they won't concede it might be a little shady, say goodbye for good while.

I've had multiple friends come over to "test their pitch" in the last few years. They prey on college age people, students or not, up here in Oregon. Kirby Vacuum cleaners also operates up here on this model.

Someone here got sucked into that.  They wrote about their experience, it was pretty heart-wrenching.

There was one they tried to suck me into in Salem called New Skin or NuSkin or something. And I'm pretty sure HerbaLife is one, too.

Well, I no longer care.  The OP is over at FizzyGrizzly comparing us to beatniks.

So fuck him.  Let him stick his dick in the meatgrinder.  Someone will be along to turn the crank for him eventually.  I can't be bothered.

Beatniks are AWESOME, though.
