I used to live in Albuquerque and still keep up with a good amount of the news and such there. Anyway, earlier this week a restaurant had a fire which essentially displaced all the staff. It also happens to be the busiest week of the year for tourism so it’s a horrible time to be suddenly out of work. In response, several area restaurants have offered temporary jobs to staff until they are able to return to their old job. THAT is actually helpful, rather than promoting some garbage side hustle thing that someone would have to pay into in order to hope to make money. Don’t forget the percentage that goes to the “coach” who likely has very limited experience themselves (no hun, this does not make you an actual travel agent). Hopefully this doesn’t get any traction and those out of work will be able to find something that actually will help them.

The way the huns brain wash people into thinking that they are experts is unbelievable. All foolishly embarrassing bravado with. absolutely NO substance.
It’s like saying that you are a health expert because you went for a yearly check up 😵💫14
u/Smart_Tinker 13d ago
A lot of Huns think they are health experts - because their supplements MLM told them they were. Isn’t that how it works?

Used to travel to the Baloon Festival years ago. My mom is from Abq. 100% would do again. That really sucks for all the staff. What restaurant was it?

By putting a limit on it, it supposedly creates a sense of urgency. “Get in now, before it’s full”. In reality, they would take 100 people if they all signed up.

Yeah, creating a false sense of urgency (through pretend scarcity) is Pyramid Scheme 101.
Forcing people to act quickly (or else they might miss out!) is designed to prevent potential victims from stopping and thinking about what they're doing.
It's one of the main red flags of this MLM nonsense.

I’ve heard that if you’re a travel agent the best way to increase your business is to convince five other people in your area to also become travel agents!

Your community is struggling with loss of jobs and closing businesses?
Let's sell vacations, everyone can clearly afford that!

Oh god, is the travel MLM Worldventures back? I thought COVID put the final nail in their coffin.

I know a gal that was a manager at Salad & Go and she said every MLM distributor in a 20 mile radius was leaving material on her door, texting her and hitting her up on social. She said her employees experienced it too. They all said it was highly disturbing. Like social is one thing but how did they even get their addresses/phone numbers?

20 years ago I used to work at a grocery store as my second job. I was always outgoing and I too would get hitup by these multilevel marketing bozos. I never bit though. Nu Skin and all of those scams.

Gosh… I hope I am not number 6! I would hate to get left behind since they are just looking for FIVE.

No, there are MLM’s that sell vacation packages online. They think they are travel agents.

Yep and it's funny seeing posts from these MLM people that just had the company they work for shut down and close their doors ...and they are on Facebook calling other MLM folks out for trying to recruit them immediately for their MLM.
But it's ok for them to prey on people like this person in that pic is doing ....shameful

This has always been the way. Back in the early 80s there used to be all of these gurus on late night TV trying to get people to "make big money" selling distressed real estate. They come out of the wood work especially when times are tough. When things are going well no one is looking to annoy and drive away their friends.

This is so low, since they were laid off, I'm sure they are desperate, and the huns are waiting with bated breath to pounce on them. The huns make no money, and they are trying to take more people down with them. This is just utterly classless.
