Don't be fooled by those Primerica MLM recruitment lives!

I've been noticing an influx of people on live who are actively recruiting for companies like "Primerica" (or similar) which are multi-level marketing companies. They boast about how you can work from home, get paid 6 figures just by selling life insurance policies, financial freedom, you can make it your own business, and work your own schedule.

Of course, in todays day in age, that's every persons dream come true. However, this is a case where "it's too good to be true" and doesn't work that way. If you're unfamiliar with a MLM scheme, a brief description is as followed:

"Multi-level marketing (MLM), also known as direct marketing or network marketing, is a method of selling products directly to consumers using independent sales representatives.

MLM companies tend to appeal to new recruits with promises of wealth and independence. While not illegal by definition, many MLMs have become infamous for their controversial business practices—and others have been revealed to be little more than illegal pyramid schemes."

With Primerica in specific, they tell you all you need is to pay a $125 fee to become a licensed life insurance agent. While that's true, you're now working under the person who recruited you along with their broker. Those 2 people then pressure and con you into getting yourself/family/friends life insurance policies in which they then get paid. Where do you get paid? The same way. You then have to hustle to recruit new "team members" so that you can rinse and repeat the same method that happened to you all while the man above gets paid more than you got paid. This also means you have to pay a monthly fee for their software. Again, while none if this is illegal or technically a scam, you will never see the promises they make and brainwash you into thinking you'll make 6 figures a year blah blah blah.

It's literally a cult!

They all run with the same script on lives. They will bash you for working a 9-5 and living paycheck-to-paycheck to make you feel bad for yourself. They all whole heartedly defend the company to their grave because they've been brainwashed but none of them can prove these 6 figure numbers except flexing their brokers paychecks. Then when you call their bluff, they hate the truth so they ban you from their live.

Still don't believe me? Do a Reddit search under the AntiMLM subreddit.

PS - I wish TikTok would ban crap like this.
