Abandon greed and stay away from pyramid schemes.

With the increasing efforts of governments at all levels to crack down on illegal pyramid schemes, some illegal pyramid schemes have begun to change their faces, frequently "changing their faces" and extending their black hands to the countryside. Many farmers who are eager to get rich and have no information are often trapped in it, hurting their families, neighbors and friends. Illegal pyramid schemes often use farmers' blind trust psychology to design various scams with new high-tech terms such as "interpersonal network", "joining chain", "spreading spiritual civilization and selling quality products". Some illegal pyramid schemes also trick farmers into falling for it under the guise of "helping the poor". Rural society is an "acquaintance society", and going out to work mainly depends on relatives and friends to introduce each other. They have a relatively stable relationship of mutual trust and are reliable "credit resources". The illegal pyramid scheme in the article "My classmates tricked me into MLM" is to use this "credit resource" to take advantage of it and defraud and hurt acquaintances such as relatives, friends and neighbors.

Since the publication of "My classmates tricked me into pyramid schemes", my friends or I who have been hurt by pyramid schemes have sent us hatred of pyramid schemes, reminding everyone that we must recognize the essence of pyramid schemes, consciously get rid of the "temptation to get rich" of pyramid schemes and resolutely refuse to get involved. Be vigilant at ordinary times to avoid being fooled. Once you find yourself cheated into a pyramid scheme organization, you must be rational, master the rules, contents and forms of pyramid schemes as soon as possible, recognize the specific location of your pyramid scheme dens, paralyze the "guards" through superficial "obedience", take advantage of going out for classes, eating, shopping, opening an account, etc., try to get rid of the monitoring of pyramid schemes, and report to the local public security department and the administrative department for industry and commerce quickly.

It seems that the pie is actually a trap.

After reading Xiaohui's personal experience "My classmates tricked me into pyramid schemes", the author was deeply moved. I feel pain for Xiaohui's experience, but at the same time I am glad that Xiaohui can get rid of her clutches and finally get free.

As the saying goes, "there will be no pie in the sky." However, people often believe that there will really be pie adventures in the sky, and always think that they will be the only one who can eat them. This kind of person has the idea of seeking pleasure and getting something for nothing, and is used by people with ulterior motives. At the same time, give your own destiny to others and let them play and dominate. In fact, when Xiaohui found that her classmate Li Wei's residence was so messy, she should be alert and leave this wrong place quickly, but the kind Xiaohui didn't think so. Fortunately, it was not too late to find out, and it didn't make a big mistake in the end.

As the saying goes: "There is no need to harm people, and there is no need to prevent people." As long as you are alive, you can't intentionally hurt others, but you should always be wary of being hurt by others, because some people are confused by money and lose their conscience. If we are not careful, we may be used by these people with ulterior motives. On the long road of life, it is precisely because of the loss of defense that the bad guys have an opportunity. Those "Snow White" who look kind may actually be the real "grandma wolf".

The sentence at the end of Xiaohui is worth learning: "I want to tell everyone, especially those who are eager to find a good job, to be more careful and not to let people with ulterior motives take advantage of it and use high salary as bait to push you into the trap of pyramid schemes."

My son had a similar experience.

Reading the article "My classmates tricked me into pyramid schemes" published in the 8th edition from June, 5438 to February, 22, 2007 reminds me of that terrible past.

My son was also cheated by pyramid schemes. Different from the article, the protagonist in the article has a job. Because my salary is low, and I am jealous of my classmates who are not as good as myself in school, I now earn much more than myself, so I was tempted to quit my current job by high salary and ran to my classmates to be cheated.

My son is not. In April 2006, my son, who was about to graduate from college, saw a job advertisement in Guangdong on the Internet and contacted this company. The company also uploaded written test papers online for assessment, and then conducted telephone conversation assessment. The salary is not high or low, 2000 yuan per month for junior college, 3000 yuan per month for undergraduate course and 4000-5000 yuan per month for graduate students. This is quite practical for Guangdong, an open city in the south. After a series of exams, my son was hired. When he went by car, like the protagonist in the article, he called home to report his safety, but I couldn't contact him the next morning and no one answered the phone. At that time, I thought it was because he was tired from sleeping in the car, but no one answered until noon. I don't feel right. Call the company quickly, but no one answers. So I contacted the Guangdong information desk 1 14, and asked them to help me check other telephone numbers of the company. But when I told the name of that company, a very responsible lesbian at the information desk told me that as far as she knew, all the phones she inquired were PHS, and someone engaged in illegal pyramid schemes in that company in the name of recruitment, which had been exposed by the local media. My head suddenly got bigger, and for the next three days, neither of us could eat or sleep. Those naiveties are like years. Fortunately, after discovering that he was cheated, my son, like the protagonist in the article, tried his best to find opportunities to escape from the MLM organization.

In retrospect, when my son was looking for a job online, I helped him check the authenticity of the company (because I subscribed to our newspaper for many years and learned some anti-fraud knowledge, such as going to the industrial and commercial bureau to check whether the company was registered). I called the local industrial and commercial bureau, and everyone else on the phone understood, except that when I said I wanted to check whether the company was registered in the industrial and commercial bureau, the man said I couldn't hear you clearly and asked me to find them myself. I didn't care too much at the time. If I had gone to Guangdong myself, my son might not have been fooled.

According to my son, after he came back, most of the people cheated by this pyramid scheme were college students who had just left college or were eager to find a job after graduation. Now I write down these terrible past events to say to those college students who are about to graduate and look for a job: be careful when looking for a job, and don't be cheated by pyramid schemes. At the same time, we also hope that the relevant departments will intensify the crackdown on illegal pyramid schemes and let them have nowhere to hide.

Why did you get cheated?

By analyzing the experiences of these deceived people, it is not difficult to find that these deceived people actually have a fatal weakness, that is greed. These people love leisure and hate work. They always want something for nothing. Pies will fall from the sky, and they always want to become millionaires overnight. Some people have this greed, and MLM organizations can succeed again and again.

When we are cracking down on pyramid schemes, should we also let these deceived people reflect on themselves? Why are you cheated? Is there greed in your heart? At the same time, through the experience of these deceived people, we should realize that there is no pie in the sky, but what looks like a pie is often a trap. An effort, a reward, only through their own efforts, down-to-earth work, will reap fruitful results. Can't be moved by other people's hype.

As long as each of us gives up our greed, we can look back and see how absurd it is for MLM organizations to weave the dream of getting rich overnight. The MLM organization will not fight for itself.

Pay will be rewarded.

After reading the article "My classmates tricked me into pyramid schemes", I couldn't calm down for a long time. First of all, don't say how hateful people who engage in pyramid schemes are. Just talk about you who are eager to get rich. Why don't you think it over? There will be no pie in the sky. Now that social science and technology are so developed, don't think about high wages without skills. Remind those who are eager to get rich that only by using their own expertise and working hard can they gain a foothold in society. You must pay first, then you can get paid. Don't dream of getting something for nothing.
