Oh I didn’t see that. But I personally experienced it. My school friend from ages ago saw that I had been posting up business related things on facebook and talked to me and wanted to meet up since we had a common interest. I thought it was just a social thing at first.
But when I was otw there, he messeged me saying ‘bro I’ll also be taking you up to see my office’. That was the first red flag. This is a classic decades old technique commonly used by agents and MLM salesmen.
When I got to the office it was basically just a whole level of a floor with no real offices or work being done, but with man clusters of round tables and chairs with salesmen dressed “formally” talking to clients. The way the office was set up and the way they looked was another huge red flag.
Then he talked to me about what product they sold (some bs sheep placenta tablets), and asked about what’s my ideal income and dream car etc. Then me and some other potential clients were talked to by a more senior salesman who was kind of worshipped by the other salesmen.
He talked to us while showing us a slideshow, and one slide actually had a diagram of a pyramid that depicted their business model. Wow.
Then after that big presentation we broke up into smaller groups, and my friend immediately asked which package I wanted to buy. When I said none, he asked ‘what concerns do I have about it’. And then the typical hard sell nonsense came. But I kept saying no. When he stepped away from the desk, I saw he had a few sheets of paper with a lot of former schoolmates’ names and contact numbers.
Eventually he called over another more senior salesman, and she said that this package can only be bought at a discounted price of $3000 or so only on that day. When I still said no, they said if I pay $150 now, they will hold the discounted for a while.
Obviously I left there without losing any of my money.

Kudos to this friendly bus captain who helped my hubby and I with our baby pram as we boarded his bus outside Gleneagles this afternoon around 1.30pm! He’s the first ever bus captain to do so for us..

I did not meet this person before or groom her furkid before let alone injured multiple times. and i don’t understand what is their motive all about by slandering my reputation online. And for those who commented on that thread of post (you know who you are by rubbing in, im gonna get you by stirring up shit out of no reason because i always stay in my circle and be low profile).
