While we didn't sample makeup, the rep had a 3 price skincare routine to teach us and sold sample packs to the kids there. We were probably 11-12 🙄🙄

I leaned on this para quite a bit for support, and she ended up pitching me some CBD MLM. I was gutted. Much love to that music teacher, I’m glad she found her own footing.

She wrote back saying she was super, that she and her husband were enjoying a new program. 2+2= RED FLAG.

At my friend’s birthday party in 8th grade, a random woman from our church was there to give us Mary Kay makeovers. It’s not much of a horror story because I don’t remember a lot about it, just that I got some mascara to try. At the time I just thought maybe she was close with their family so they let her come, but now that I think about it, it’s pretty weird that she was there. Seems like middle school girls are a pretty common target for these indirect pitches to parents because they’re just old enough for makeup and young enough to not know what a pyramid scheme is lol

In the early 2000's/late 90's, my co-worker at my dad's gas station would once a month bring an Avon booklet to work with her. A lady she worked with at her other job sold it. I bought jewelry and nail polish. I knew it was a MLM but it was another older lady who was selling it. Southern guilt, it's s thing. I stopped buying when the store shut down.

The one girl held a big sleepover with all of us so I could meet everyone. Well, at the party, her mom broke out the Avon catalogs and sold all of us some lip balm and lotion. I remember calling my mom and telling her to bring my $20 from my piggy bank when she came to pick me up so I could get my lip balms. I'm sure a lot of people have similar experiences.

I don't know what happened to those scissors but i ruined a lot of friendships, deservedly so. I also remember the lady doing the group interview telling us all we were not her friends, so being rude must be their MO.

I haven't even finished watching the video yet - still on the first story - but I just needed to say something. To the person who wrote in: you are a wonderful human being and even though I haven't benefited from your services, I am grateful to you. I have relatively recently become fully disabled (about two years now), and thus can no longer clean, cook, or even shower, by myself. My husband works full-time overnight, about twelve hours every day, so it's difficult for him to take care of everything himself and both our kids have special needs so they contribute minimally. Our house is an incredible mess. It's basically become a hoarder house and I'm deeply ashamed of it. I'd absolutely love to be able to hire someone to come help us, but we literally can't afford it. We had to decide between buying food for the family or getting my very necessary medications a few times already (the food wins out because everyone needs to eat), which is very bad for me. I am sincerely and eternally grateful that there are people like you out there who help others in situations like ours. Thank you. I hope you know that you are providing a service that is incredibly necessary to some, and you deserve all the recognition for it... and I'm sorry that you had to deal with someone who essentially took advantage of that. You deserve better. Again, thank you for what you do. I am jealous of those whom you've already helped!

I have never done a real life spit take before until today the second I heard digeorge syndrome. I have full love and support in my heart for the subscriber who sent in that story but I will say as someone who's brother has digeorge she was massively understating. First off to have someone with that condition and to be so independent and high functioning is a miracle in itself and she is a real life Wonder Woman. Secondly Hannah I know we need to have some understanding for those in the cult like mindset however her aunt deserves NO pity WHATSOEVER. This is from someone who has perspective on this condition and the family that surrounds it. There is for a fact NO WAY IN HELL this aunt didn't know what she was doing. The level of mental and physical affect on someone who has that is very obvious and it is absolutely DISTGUSTING that she turned around to try and get her into Mary Kay. I have never felt so personally horrified in my life until this story. She was FULLY AWARE the level she could try and take advantage of her this could've gone south so fast and so hard for that girl you have NO IDEA. You've cried in horror at some stories before this if you understood fully like I do you'd be crying like I am. That was a very narrowly dodged bullet far too close to home. Her aunt does deserve shame, period. There is no amount of money desperation that could make this okay in any mindset. EVER. If you read this Hannah or anyone else I encourage you to read up on digeorge its an extremely rare condition. If anyone is looking for closer examples of the level of advantage one could take please understand that most with digeorge fall into the very strong end of the autistic spectrum. And if the girl who sent that in reads this know that you are a beautifully smart and capable woman. And even though I am a stranger I am so proud of you and your parents should be equally proud. Okay soap box moment over, I hope everyone has a good day!

I know there could be a lot of different reasons for her problems but when I looked this one up it did seem to fit with a lot of what I had known she had had growing up.

I knew I didn't want to go down the "direct sales" avenue of marketing, which is how the job was described in the posting, so I never applied to the company. Because I didn't apply or interact with Vector Marketing, I didn't know until now that the company was an MLM and that Vector Marketing is actually Cutco.

It is definitely on the more extreme ends of actions to take to get them to take down the photos...but they could always try threatening to sue them for copyright violations. Pay a lawyer to write up a notice, and then send that to them. See if that changes their tune. I'm not one to advocate for frivolous lawsuit threats...but if it getting to the point where the poster is reaching their end, it might be an option. I don't know if actually bringing a lawsuit would help, but the threat of one might change minds.

I have fallen into so many MLM/pyramid schemes, not knowing what they are. And you have just given me a name for it. I feel so stupid. I can’t believe how much money between doTERRA, Herbalife,Meta-fast, and there’s so many more and I can’t remember the names of them all. I’m always so desperate to feel better that I’m a perfect prey for predators

My sister joined cutco. She wasn't right out of High Dchool but she was a single mom doing the best that she could. She tried to get me to join it too. I wasn't aware of what MLMs were at the time, but there was no way that I was going to quite my job at Walmart to try and sell knives. I always thought of businesses like Cutco to be scummy and I tried to tell her so. She didn't want to hear it, but also she wasn't in Cutco very long and quite when she found d out that she wasn't getting an actual pay check. She got paid like $16 on her first pay check and then quit. I also had a coworker who said that he didn't get any money from his time with Cutco and had told me all about his experience when I told him about my sister trying to get me to Join. He said that they are a scam and that I shouldn't join. I told him I hadn't planned on if but my sister had. Also just want to say, my husband would have never allowed it either. He even said that it sounded like a scam.

The story 2 is super sad! I know how important it is for a young student to get their supervisor approval : i had the chance to connect very well with my phd supervisor and she helped me so much to grow and become the woman i now am. Seeing this woman who exploit her ascending position to sell her mlm is so sad! Lots of hearts to the person who shared the story!

So, when I was younger… about 7th or 8th grade, I was invited to a birthday party that was a Mary Kay party… I didn’t buy anything but we did get a lot of free samples at the party to play with/ experiment with. I actually really enjoyed it. I didn’t have anyone around that showed me how to use makeup, and I love makeup, so I personally thought it was awesome. However, they did not ask us to buy anything just gave us a brochure to take home with the items we liked circled in it so we could get them in the future. She was amazing and showed me a lot of old school tricks with makeup that I still use today. This was like 25 years ago…. There was not KZitem and stuff to show you these things, so having someone show me was great. That being said- MLMs are terrible, but I will forever be grateful to that rep for showing me how to properly use makeup so I didn’t walk around looking like a clown lol

I fall for this every time. Not MLMs - this is cat related. My husband and I had a wonderful neighbor - John, who was a Vietnam vet and fighter pilot. A few years ago, his wife died, and my husband started visiting him several hours per week in the evenings. They would talk & talk for hours about everything under the sun - John's experiences in the Air Force, politics (he was quite liberal), religion (he was quite non-religious) etc., etc. John's wife had a couple of small yappy dogs, and at some point, they had acquired an adult cat. His name was something like "Howard," but John just called him, "Cat." The sad day came when John died. His children took the dogs, but somehow Cat got left behind in the shuffle. Cat used to come over to our house - probably to get away from the dogs and to chill in our lovely garden - and he continued to do so. Eventually, we decided we should adopt him as we already had two cats, so what's one more, right? We decided to re-name Cat and came up with a fitting name for him - Loki. So now to the point of this. Every time I listen to your videos, I hear Loki crying to be let out. (He was used to spending most time outside, and although I'd prefer he stay inside, he is just not an inside cat.) Every time, I will go to the door to the back garden - but there's no cat there! I'll look around and call him, go sit back down, hear him again, rinse, repeat. And then every time it dawns on me - "Oh, that's Zeke! Not Loki!"

I had a friend that was heavily into buying that Norwex crap. I made sure I didn’t buy 1 thing from her or i would have been continuously pestered by her to buy more things.

I have an acquaintance who does every MLM imaginable, and every time she switches to a new one she invites me to her social media groups, pages, and tags me in posts. I've told her i'm not interested in any of the stuff she sells (origami owl, scentsty, now its a nail one and makeup) . How do i nicely tell her to stop inviting me to all of her groups cuz I will not buy anything.

When I was in 5th or 6th grade, a Mary Kay rep came to our girl scout meeting to "teach us about makeup." I remember being so annoyed and bored. I could have cared less about makeup. I joined girl scouts to go camping and horseback riding. I don't remember what we "learned" but I do remember my troop leader being very enthusiastic about the whole thing. I specifically remember her describing a dress and asking the rep what color of eyeshadow she should wear with this dress. I went home thinking the whole evening had been more for the adults than the girls.

I remember getting the sketchy Vector letters in university! Even at 17, I could tell it must be a scam. I also understand bad work experiences really hurting your confidence. I just got sacked for the third time in a year, and of course I need to find another job but I become more and more shy and genuinely fearful every time I have to start at a new employer. I had worked at the same place for over eight years before deciding to stay home with my daughter for a while and I’m terrified I will never find another workplace where I felt comfortable like that. The past two jobs I had, I didn’t even know that employers/coworkers could treat people like that.

The cleaning products were probably just water and essential oils. I've seen a lot of those that are advertised as all natural and chemical free. Also a lot of claims of being disinfectant like germs will die as soon as they leave your house 🙄 As someone who looked up how to make their own essential oil sprays (for scent) I found a few warnings about residue on certain surfaces.

For the Avon birthday party, I think that the mom probably paid out of pocket for all the product and needed to get to a certain dollar amount to either get hostess gifts. When I was little, guests almost never got gifts to take home after a birthday party, but I noticed that when my kids were little, everyone got a goodie bag with little toys and candy after a party. Now I guess they're doing make up and MLM products. Hands up if anyone had their kid come home with some essential oil or Amway cleaning products?

Norwex or Stanley home products.... my mom sold Stanley back in the day it's still around but it was sticky but I don't think they claim it's "chemical free" so my modern bet is Norwex. My mother had an entire storage room filled with products for years to the point that I'm almost 40 and that room called "the Stanley Room"

I had a friend in elementary & middle school who had a couple MLM parties... in 5th grade it was a mother/daughter party type thing where some lady pitched us some skincare/makeup type stuff. Then in like 7th grade it was a Mary Kay birthday party. The rep horribly misjudged my pale af skin and started putting a darker foundation on me. Realized about half way through so she just decided to do one half of my face in that shade and the other in a shade that more closely matched my actual skin. I looked ridiculous. Lol! I don't remember them being super pushy on trying to sell us products though. They probably saved that for when our parents came to pick us up... also, maybe the lady just didn't even try for me since she messed up my makeup so bad. Who knows. It was all so weird though.

I always listen to the Horror Stories series in the Morning while getting ready for work. I love it. 😊 But I had to do a double take as in my short time in the MLM world (in Germany!!) and becoming a part of the Anti-MLM movement afterwards I have definitely seen these before&after photos floating around… 😢😮

Yep cut co is evil. My cousin was a teen mom with an infant when she graduated high school and got sucked into cut co from the angle that she could work from home and spend more time with her baby. She spent two months begging everyone she knew to sit through hour long presentations and trying to sell thousands of dollars of knives on payment plans. She had to quit because our family is mostly on the poverty line and of course nobody could afford rent let alone cut co knives
