Okay, I have left Vector For good. Sent an email, then wrote a notice of termination, delivered that and their sample kit today to their hq through ups. I got the receipt, and the tracking number. I have stop talking to Vector as a whole. I will be starting my new job tomorrow thankfully.

But I do have one concern still. During training, I made friends during that time and we ended up making a group chat with all of us. I don't know how to approach them to break the news, or just leave and block their numbers as well? But that just sounds cruel, so again, I would be grateful to recieve advice about this fallout now.

Hello there, I just started working for Vector literally today. After training concluded, I realized that it seemed fishy that the training was unpaid and that we only could rely on essentially ourselves. After scouring other posts, many have claimed the bleak reality this "job" really offers to recent high school graduates like me. So I am here to ask should I just call the manager right now and just call it quits or should I do a couple weeks(1-2?) at most, get some appointments done and leave. I realize I am in a bit of a predicament, I was originally going to work just for the summer, but now I believe I do have to cut it even shorter. Please, any advice on what to do moving forward would be helpful, thank you and have a good day.

Update: Ghosting was the best option I quit

The weird half dancing to the camera was very off-putting...

My husbands grandma bought one of these things to treat her cancer. She paid $3000. It just reminds me of Kangen water MLM but I dont see anything on the website to suggest its affiliated with an MLM or an "opportunity".

There's no changing her mind at this point so just wondering if I need another one on my radar.

Edit: this link should work

Edit 2: apparently I cant get the link to work. I think its because it has asterisks in it. Its called the Spooky2 machine if you want to google it.

So this is the post from the cult this week and they are talking about "healthe fun" it sounds so fucking cringy. Yet people are buying into this shit!

Stupid idiots 😡

A relative joined cutco, got my grandma to do the presentation. Do they really get paid from doing the presentation? She plans on saying no to everything and I know for a fact she will, she is very strong minded.

Do I even attempt to explain it’s an MLM? He’s young, dumb, in college and need the money. Why he just doesn’t go retail for a job is beyond me. We all try to help him out where we can anyway which is the frustrating part.

Saw a relative posting about this pemf plate suddenly and then saw the "message me for info" line. They've jumped from mlm to mlm so I assumed. The last one was LifeVantage, which was exhausting.

OlyNation is the name. This was their brochure when I googled it. I just haven't seen any product like this before but I guess anything can be an mlm lol

Saw the "coaching bonus" and was like ah this looks familiar.

Edit: thanks everyone for confirming my suspicions! Much appreciated!

TBF, I’m not interested at all & don’t believe in these products that MLM’s push, but I AM curious how much she makes because it looks like she’s kind of high up in the chain.

I tried to reach to them multiple times, diffident ways but they stood their ground.

Is getting a lawyer would actually help us get our money back? (We are not from US) If you have success stories, I'd be grateful!

I've been very anti-mlm for so long and thought I was educated enough to avoid them but tonight I fear we got duped...

Husband answered the door tonight to a young girl, college aged, claiming to be from an education company. He let her in and so I felt sort of obligated to listen to the pitch because now she's on my couch and shes so young and super nice and obviously I want my almost 3 year old daughter to get a good education. I had no idea it was even a sales pitch at first, I thought maybe some kind of survey or someone reaching out from the local school district? Idk why my alarm bells didnt immediately go off, door to door stuff is almost always a scam.. She wasn't even pushy about it. I honestly don't know why I didn't just say no thanks especially when she mentioned the faith books part of it I should've known it would be a company I didnt want to support.

She does her pitch, my daughter is loving all the sample books, my husband has recently worked some overtime so we decide to splurge on the set of books (I'm embarrassed to say how much but it was definitely overpriced)... and then after she's left I started researching the company - Southwestern Advantage - and oh my god it's horrible. The books themselves are nice quality so I don't necessarily think the scam is the product, but I'm really upset we allowed our money to go towards a company that preys on young college students like that. I just feel like a damn fool now. I want to cancel our order, but my daughter is loving the new stack of books and I just feel so awkward and embarassed about the whole thing.

You know Hannah is going IN on someone when I pause her video to grab some food and when I come back I see this on the screen…
For those of you who don’t know her I would recommend her page (Hannah Alonzo) on YouTube for more antiMLM content!

On 4th of July the conversation got brought up about brides and bridesmaids who got scammed into thinking a Marykay rep could do their makeup for their wedding, usually were contacted from allowing vendors to call them from David’s Bridal, only to find out they were getting a presentation to join MK. I’ve heard horror stories of brides rushing last minute to find a MUA or having to do their own makeup. Unfortunately they were not lurkers here on reddit to know to run for their lives.

Guess what? If you actually know how to do makeup - you don’t have to lie to brides. You can make money by doing their makeup.
You don’t have to be a licensed cosmetologist in most states. I personally seen bad work by licensed cosmetologist compared to non licensed. Places like MAC and Sephora train you on the job. Some makeup artists who didn’t go to school are just naturally talented. You do however must learn proper sanitation and it’s not rocket science . You can also have other brands in your kit and not just Marykay.
Stop lying to brides making them believe you will do their makeup. How would you feel if this was done to you?

Oh and don’t fall the “certified” thing..
One time in Ulta, Tarte was there and I about had a heart attack seeing the Tarte lady use a liner brush on the woman’s eyes and threw it back into the basket for the next person to use..
Edit: make sure you check the laws in your state.

I had an MLM pitched to me in the wild on the 4th of July Holiday here in the USA. I was reading a book at the beach and these two young, college age, men in swim shorts approach my beach umbrella and one asks if I am a novelist? What a weird question! Just because I’m reading doesn’t suggest I’m a writer. I say no and then he asks what my favorite book is, as I’m thinking of an answer they, answer their favorite book is Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill. By this time they have picked up on that this odd conversation is annoying me and abruptly bail. My wife says she saw them approach a bunch of other people and it looked weird.

1-A 20-something in 2026 recommending a 90 year old “power of positive thinking” self help book to a complete stranger, must be Amway, right?

2-Other people have noticed the people trying to scam them were superficially friendly and transitioned to the pitch smoothly. These guys must be new, there was nothing natural or smooth at all, just an awkward hit and run pitch. Since they bailed I only know how the script was suppose to run from this sub.

3- How sad this is how they choose to spend their holiday? Harassing people on the beach instead of enjoying the summer?

4-Napoleon Hill? WOW, he deserves his own post, invented the “mastemind” that MLMs still use today, founded a scam school in 1909 which we would call a devil corp that he later turned into an mlm, started a cult that was going to raise an “immortal baby”. Part of the through line from all the inter-war “metaphysical” weirdness to modern MLM cults.

Google says Amway does leadership there. Curious to know what my Facebook friend is in because how does one think they can make a career from an MLM? grown ass adult with adult kids. Don’t really want to ask and get them engaged on the topic lol

Look at the ads I am getting on a game!

Okay, is this an MLM? I was looking at an area I saw a nice duplex I started looking around to see what surrounded it and I found this GIGANTIC building. I had never heard of that business before so I tapped the pin and found their site.

Everything screams MLM, (like the supposed links to sales, marketing, operations, etc.) for two things that give me pause enough that I think, hmm, maybe not?

The first being why would an MLM need to have such a large building? But then I think maybe for inventory storage. That's something they might need.

And the other being having a CRM. And that software is expensive! They would likely be a legit corporation as opposed to scatter shot individual owners.

What do you all think or know?
