My mom repeatedly falls for get-rich-quick scams from multi-layer marketing (pyramid schemes) to internet "businesses" with social network marketing. She is otherwise a very smart person. I just don't understand how people can repeatedly fall for such obvious bullshit.
I hear anything like "make ease money flipping houses" or "I can teach you to be rich with 5 simple steps" or "This program is proven to allow people like you to work from home and make thousands a month" or "Our company will allow you to grow a sales career working 20 hours a week as YOUR OWN BOSS..."
What goes on that puts some people's bullshit detectors so far out of calibration.
What can I do to make my mom avoid this stuff.

I mean, good on ya helping out your mom and all, but fuck anon.
Real life and internet is just alike. It's 90% bullshit information and 10% descent plus. It's up to u to sort it out.
That being said, fuck OP she might just be bored.
Mlm fags shilling their bullshit irritate me to the core because 99% of these faggots are just shilling for a quick buck.
U can actually get very good sales experience and make a lot of money if you work it like a business.
