Now friend's bro kena McOcean.
Living a "lavish" life and gonna "retire" from his engineering job.
My friend himself is joining Amway with a bunch of idk who. Always visiting his place during the weekends on the subject of "you live alone, we can accompany you" while brain wash his brains to 100% join their cult. So far he didn't sell his stuff la but idk how much to believe him.

What made u succumb to their mechanics and eventually "oh shit, not again"?

Curious. Very curious.

That's how the mlms get you by exploit human psychological need for social, love and care. Long before socmed and smartphone they also practice and perfect it. The uplines and team always host weekly meetings to do teambuilding, first entice newbies with financial freedom/build own business then slowly rope you in and surround you with 'family/friend' feeling. Like this many ppl sure fall into it. Lonely folks young and old attend a few session will also become committed until willing to spend some money every month buy overpriced things like subscription to continue to be a part of the family. Not saying that real relationship cannot be made there, just that deep down they all know that making money is the basis of their relationship.

But, also not everyone can be good upline leader. Many just cannot hide their true intention well. Can feel that they are not genuine. So they will often come in group to brain wash newbies.

Unker don't blame newbies, the world can be a cold place and it is not easy to make real friends once become adult. suddenly surrounded by friendly ppl show interest in you, give time to 'grow' you, want to see you 'success'. Even the most introvert ppl can kena brain washing.

Yeah.
I'm have a deep avoidance with these things so I always brutally tell them I am not interested and please don't bloody drag me into your cult. But I'm surprised that people change so drastically over these especially those with proper ed and technical careers.

People change once they have a lot of money all of a sudden? hmm.gif
