My husband was recently stopped at Lagoon by an older couple from Sandy who offered to guide us into online selling. We suspect this could be linked to an AMWAY style scheme. Has anyone else experienced a similar encounter? It was very unsettling and, frankly, quite annoying.
Hey there, I totally get the unease – it’s like when someone seems a bit too eager to rope you into something that sounds more business-than-friendly. I haven’t been approached in exactly that same way myself, but I’ve seen similar scenarios where strangers drop in with advice or opportunities that don’t feel quite right. It really makes you wonder how many of these approaches are just misinformed good-intent offers versus something more calculated like a pyramid scheme. I’m curious, has anyone dug into what kind of target audiences these folks are aiming at? And how are you handling the situation when these offers come up again? Would love to hear thoughts on how you smoothly deflected the conversation without burning bridges. Cheers!
I encountered a similar scenario last year when visiting a community workshop. I was approached by someone enthusiastically offering a roadmap into online business and digital marketing. Although their intent seemed well-meaning at first, the explanation quickly became murky, with promises that appeared too good to be true. I asked for specifics regarding compensation and business practices, which only raised further concerns due to the lack of transparency. My personal experience taught me to thoroughly research any such proposal and insist on clear, honest details before considering any involvement.
