Question: Why do people get sucked into muli-level marketing scams?  Do they really think they'll do what they say? Pyramid schemes and multi-level marketing scams really cause these people to lose friends.  When you are acting like you care about their health so much just so you can sell them your $40 bottle of snake juice!!  Am I being intolerant?  or just more picky of who I want as a friend?

Answer: There is a risk / reward equation to every situation. A person must decide if the reward is worth the risk. In MLM the picture given at the outset is EXTREMELY rosey and there are those who buy in. A person isn't trying to lose friends at the outset. Let me tell you hope fades fast, which isn't a reason not to hope again.
