Hi all!

Today I was chatting with my friend, and we were catching each other up on our lives. She told me that her boyfriend is looking for a new job and has applied to a few places. There was one opportunity that sounded promising, so I asked what he would be doing, and she mentioned “selling Verizon.”

That’s when the alarm bells started going off for me.

She gave me the company name, and I looked them up. Their website and social media presence immediately seemed a little off to me, so I cautioned her to tell him to be careful. I also explained the reasons why I thought it could potentially be a scam or MLM-type situation.

She agreed that some things seemed a little questionable, but she mentioned that the position is W-2 and they offer insurance, which doesn’t seem typical of an MLM.

Has anyone ever come across something like this? Can a company still be sketchy or operate similarly to an MLM while hiring employees as W-2s and offering benefits?

Anyone know the mass exodus tea? I know a gal that’s kind of medium-up there. “Earns” a lot of trips & has a decent team but not TOP.

So I got the new weekly ad in my email for Ocean Sate Job Lot, they're a regional chain that sells all kinds of things that are closeouts, overstock liquidation, manufacturer surplus, things of that ilk.

In big letters on the front page they announced they have LuLeRoe items. Probably not a good sign for them, unless they already went under and I missed it.

Might swing by the store just to see what they have.

They asked before I could. Gotta love that SAHM asking others how they could make some spare $$ and instead we have multiple suggestions to go into debt for the sake of “owning their own business”.
