I work part-time at Home Depot and just had a guy named Jeff give me a short spiel at a marketing job that's work at home, gave me a business card with proalliance.net on it and I had a feeling it was suspicious.

Ugh and I hear her voice and I know exactly who it is "Hi this is blah blah we met at Sams club and you have my cd and wanted to meet with your to get it back and talk about it, what did you think of the cd?.." I moan and utter back "ugh ya I am at work right now, I don't really have time, and I didnt get a chance to listen to it all the way I need to listen to it again.. but ya I will call you back..." she says "well do you work tomorrow?" I say "NO" she then says "well will you be available to meet me somewhere around 1:00 or I can drive to your house, you told me you live in lincoln so do I so..." so since I am lazy I say ya just meet me at my house (why waste the gas money?) I give her my address (keep in mind I have not even listened to the cd for the 2nd time to even know what its about but I have a feeling) <br /><br />So I put it in again to actually listen to it and it is what I thought... buy some useless crap at "wholesale" and resell and make tons of money! So I do the research and type in "Wade Simmons" ok a Canadian rock climber, not it... apparently he doesn't exist, I happen upon this article and the one attached to it about the guy "burning in hell where child rapist and people who talk in theaters lie" or something along those lines, very funny.<br /><br />Anyway I did my research and read more closely bout pyramid schemes and trust me I have had a couple of my friends try to talk me into them and infomercials.. SMC, Primerica, Doba, and more recently pre-paid legal (you know the amazing 24 hour contact with top lawyers in the country.) anyway I must admit a couple years ago I tried Doba and after wasting a few hundred bucks I have stayed far away from anything promising millions with their "Just recruit this many people and BAM you have xxx amount of money, its so easy! And those 10 people and so on!" If it was so easy everyone would be doing and just about everyone has heard, read and tried and failed at it also. Sure a small SMALL amount of people have made good money doing some of the programs listed about... about 1 in 10 million.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15994713832066147113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8897233458930105098.post-76322610586530512442010-05-11T13:13:39.039-07:002010-05-11T13:13:39.039-07:00I have a lady coming to get her "Fun and Free...I have a lady coming to get her "Fun and Freedom" cd at my house in about 40 minutes. After I did my research I let my puppy Siberian Husky play with the CD and became very irritated at the fact of what this middle age woman (ealry, mid 50's?) tried to pull on me at work while working my register at Sam's Club.<br /><br />Granted I hate my job, with a burning passion. I am very rude and get at least 1 complaint a day on how I am rude, don't say I, smile exc, Its a struggle for me not to quit every day but alas I have a car and a home... Nothing was new with this lady as she bought one cheap useless item, I said "Hi how are you? Do you have your card?" In my normal flat, unenthusiastic, hateful muttering and irritated tone. She says "how are you?" I said "Great" in the same way I did before. She says "so just working away, you don't seem so happy, you like working here" I said "No, I just do it temporary until I find something else." She says "Yea I understand that "I have something for you if you would like to take a look at it." I said "Uh ok" to be nice and speed the process of getting another customer out of my face. Thinking it would be some pamphlet I would disregard into the trash. It was a CD and she proceeded to say "I can give you my number and we can arrange for me to pick it up" I was thinking "Ok... this is awkward but now I have a line of people waiting and this woman pitching some BS to me." So she says "Actually just give me your number so I can call you." I was like "umm ok..." So I give it to her and I am planning on not listening to the CD and just hoping it will all go away..<br /><br />Not so fast! She comes in the next day to talk to me at work on the register, next to me while I am helping people... She says "hey did you listen to the cd do you have it on you so I can get it back" I was like "Uh no I forgot it.." she says ok well I will call you later and we can meet up on your day off so I can pick it up and we can talk about it." I am like "uh ok ya that sounds fine." Again I am hoping it will all go away...<br /><br /><br /> <br /><br />I am 23 years old which mean I must be dumb enough to not do my research and fall for this bullshit. I also am upset because she is older, I expect kids my age to try and scam people for a dollar but she knows what she is doing and was basically calling me stupid by presenting me this amazing "business opportunity." <br /><br />I shall invite her into my home and discuss my amazing business opportunity she presented me with and it has been about 40 minutes since starting this review and is now 12:58, almost time to tell her my opinion, I shall report back with what happens.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15994713832066147113noreply@blogger.com
