A new acquaintance (whether from the internet or in person) strikes a conversation wanting to be your friend, but ultimately at the end of the day they are trying to get you into a pyramid scheme / MLM.
Me: (Doing homework at the library)
Person: hey bro what you studying
Me: business 101
Person: oh cool, I used to take business in uni but ultimately dropped out, best decision of my life.
Me: really why did you dropout?
Person: school is not the way to success, it’s really about being around the right people.
Me: that’s cool man I’m kinda busy atm
Person: put those books down, the system is trying to play you man, I found a system that actually works, my mentor can get you on our team and you could make some money on the side.
Me: you sound like a mlm goblin bruh I’m not spreading my ass cheeks for your mentor.
