So, I have this coworker who is in his 60s and he told me about this business that he's been a member of for like 2 years now. I saw their website and business model, and to me it seemed like a certain 3 dimensional triangle scheme… I told him my thoughts and he started defending them by saying the owners graduated from a top university and had very successful businesses, wrote bestselling books, they were nice, have a full refund policy, etc.
I just don't want him to keep losing money so I thought if I could get enough peoples' opinions, he'd change his mind. But idk, maybe it's legit and he's on his way to running a successful online business. Does anyone know someone with experience with this service?

Did he think this would make it sound *less* like a scam?
What even is this? The only think I know by that name is Line’s paid (business) accounts.
But, most pyramid schemes are run by “smart” people with “amazing” accomplishments.
Remember Happy Science? When they launched their political party, they explained how they were going to take power back from the aloof alites who always ran the government… and then proceeded to introduce a bunch of candidates who were graduates from Waseda / Keio / Tokyu U. / etc.
Their leader also writes about 24 books a year and has more gold on him than Mr. T.
It’s amazing how well that form of deception continues to work…
Look up Amway and tell me it’s legit.
Pyramid scheme. Don’t try to help cause no one wants to admit they made a mistake or feel like a fool. Especially if he’s two years into it. Just don’t participate and let him do what he wants. It’s unfortunate but he needs to come to the realization himself
Checked off all the boxes on how a pyramid scheme is sold to ppl
