How do you “deprogram” someone involved in a pyramid scheme?
swtnlvly1979 asked:
My friend and her husband are involved in a multi-level marketing scheme that they swear will lead them to riches and allow them to quit their day jobs. However, they’ve been involved 4 years and in that time they’ve lost their house to foreclosure, and had phones, power, etc, shut off in their apartment after not paying their bills to put more money into the scheme. He is even considering giving blood for money. They have great day jobs but no money now. They won’t listen to anyone but the people above them in the pyramid, not to mention these “pyramid people” try to rope them in with religion, saying they are “harvesting souls for God”, through this “business”. Last time I checked, greed was not from God. I can’t seem to get them to listen to reason. Anyone else had a similar experience?
