So, I open up facebook tonight and I get one of those pop-up IMs from a girl I knew from school a few years ago. We haven't talked in maybe 2-3 years? We small talk and I ask her where she works now, and I get this:

"I'm working at ____________________ but I am also working with a guy named Rich out of Richmond, Virginia. He runs a company called 3-Netsolutions. I'm currently in training and it looks like a pretty cool way to make money using the internet. He's actually looking for a few other guys to help out, didn't know if you were in a position to make some money in your spare-time?"

This is the second time in a year a "old friend" has tried to hit me up to join whatever crazy shit they're in on.

Lol, sounds like bullshit.

Ignore the fuck out of her.

its when the egyptians constructed blueprints of the pyramids they had planned to build

and sought out slaves from surrounding college campuses to get it done

the number one clue that something isn't a legitimate opportunity is that:

there's no skills required whatsoever to joining in. compare this to say.... a fucking job.

life insurance works along these lines

they tell you youre going to be rich in less than a year, when in fact you will be broke and they will be rich

but a lot of insurance companies give signing bonuses (which they expect to get back of of your renewals when you quit)

i got those off of 4 different companies, didnt quit my day job, and after about 3 weeks, i told them cold calling people for insurance wasnt for me

here's the catch, they turn over local mangement every few years, i wonder if i can pull this same shit again

3/25/2009 10:11:23 PM

I worked with a guy who was always into shit like that. He tried to get me into some kind of jungle juice that cured everything and then some thing that was supposed to get you free phone service anywhere.

3/25/2009 10:15:30 PM

Hahaha one of hot ex's found me on Facebook and sent me a message. I was all excited to fuck her again, and then she starts pitching what amounts to Amway - Internet style. FML

That girl (from the OP) hit me up again on facebook tonight... I think she forgot we talked before. She asked me the same few questions about what I was up to, and tried to get me to ask what she does. Sketchy!

Yeah, if it was someone that I wasn't close friends with (I hope none of my close friends are retarded enough for this stuff anyway) that would be a quick ax from the list. I don't need to be solicited in facebook
