OP from the thread where I said a girl randomly contacted me and wanted to run a project through me. Here's an update, and a very weird story.
So she came to my dorm, and we just talked at first about class and shit. She started asking me how I was with girls which I found awkward but I basically decided to be honest with her and just say I'm okay now but I used to be pretty awkward in highschool. The "Project" she wanted to show me was basically a pitch for me to join some sort of pyramid-esque scheme called world ventures, which is at its core a multi-level marketing network.
Read about it and its structure here:

She told me to join her and that "together we'd build an empire" and she also talked about showing it to other kids in our class.
I basically said I'd consider it, but that I wasn't going to make a decision now until I knew what it was because she didn't explain it that throughly (Not her fault, it's probably meant to be flashy and disorienting to tempt people into joining.)
I have no intention of joining this, because the amount of effort it would take to actually make money of it is simply not worth my time and I could probably make more if I just worked a part time job.
Regardless, I told her we should hang out more because as a person I like her, and I don't want to see her fall into the scam that this really is, even if it's legally allowed.
What a weird fucking experience. Apparently the guy who signed up whoever recruited her is coming down to my college next week and she said I could meet him. Dude basically dropped out of college as a Sophomore and makes money this way. From what she's told me about him, he's basically a very smooth talker and probably good at manipulating people to push his agenda. Thoughts on how to proceed, /adv/? As an outside observer this could be fun.

Wrong board nigga
Some advice would be to try and bang the gril tho

She's an idiot for joining that pyramid scheme. Only the person who created it makes money.
>>
You know she's fucking him right

It's shit and you're pathetic for being interested.

I'm not interested in the scheme at all, I just simply want to observe from a far.
>>25929229
The dude doesn't even live here, and I don't give a shit if she is
>>25929212
I think she's just looking for easy money to pay for school. Apparently she's grinded enough to make like 300$ a month doing nothing now.
I'm not trying to defend it, the person who convinced her to do this is obviously manipulating her, but she thinks that he honestly cares about her success. If anything I'd convince her to leave it behind, but I'll see if its worth my time.

Don't do it man.
A girl I met in high school that never talked to me tried to induce me into a similar type of thing.
I researched some, most people say it is a scam.
She was just trying to use me.
Don't meet this guy. He will convince you of anything if he knows how to manipulate people.
>>
>>25929371
He won't convince me of jack shit. I've grown up with people who really know how to manipulate and bend people around their fingers. I'm not good at manipulation, but I'm good at resisting it because I know when it's happening. This guy is just slightly higher in the chain than the girl. He'll go after easier prey anyways.
