I’m sure you’ve heard of this one before and if you’re not sure what it is; let me translate it to a more recognizable name: Networking. For the ones who are aware of what it is I’m sure you’ve had your own experiences that you’ll never forget, and experiences to share.

Here in the Philippines this is a fairly common “business” and it’s not just limited to the purveying of cosmetic wares, but also jobs such as data encoding, E-loading, captcha typing and more.

But the common one here is the scheme that involves cosmetics and these are the kind that would sell you glutathione soaps such as Luxxe white. (Looking at both of you PPM and Frontrow, and I’m linking it here for all of you to see.)

One arsehole actually wasted my time back then and I’ll get to that in a bit. I gotta hand it to these folks; they really think of everything just to make a quick buck and I’m not the only one who’s annoyed with their shit.

If you’re not the type of person that likes reading long articles, here’s what I’m getting at:

If someone invites you to a “seminar” and it smells like it’s an offer that says you’ll make lots of money, and is really intent on getting you on the hype train. It’s a damn scam.

And if they shell out products for you to resell. That’s the red flag.

Moreover you’ll see these commonly on facebook and some other blogs owned by these folks and just look at this blog post right here in the link below, it looks to me that the one who wrote it is also a member of Frontrow. Can’t even give a straight answer to whether or not is it a scam.

Why the hell should you drop so much money just to be a member anyway? Trying to sell you glutathione products that way and recruit you into selling them? That’s the laziest method of trying to sell something. Can’t sell products so recruit instead to gain commissions eh?

If you’re gonna buy a whitening soap, don’t buy from these poor fellows; they should wake up and realize that they’re just wasting time there.

I know there are readers from around the world reading this too and I thank you for following our blog. If anyone is going to buy a Glutathione Soap here in the Philippines; do it in supermarkets, drugstores and reputable sites. Not from someone that is really pushy with offering a product.

Ignored the hook, cut the line, detached the sinker

You’d be flummoxed on why these scammers exist and how do they even proliferate with such a shady way of doing business? Where does it start and that’s what we’re gonna talk about so let me show you my experiences to make it clear how they work and how to avoid them.

My first run in with these people is from a simple innocuous message I got from a “friend” in Facebook and that was in 2011. She was asking me if I’d like to join a seminar around Robsinsons Supermarket. But why suddenly? I thought there was no harm in it so I was really considering to go. What do I have to lose yeah? I was just fresh outta high school and trying new stuff.

But I was a lazy bum so I just stayed home without saying a word if I’d really go. The next day I saw her post that there’s a guy in there who was talking to a bunch of people, but I saw a pile of soaps behind him but never bothered to question why. Little did I know that I just dodged a bullet labelled as “networking”. Next Page>
