A multi-level marketing scheme, also known simply as an MLM, is basically a fancier way of saying "pyramid scheme." Unfortunately, many people fall for these out of a desire to earn more money, but ultimately they wind up losing it or simply working way too hard to justify the low commissions they received, since the vast majority of the profit goes to those working above them.

However, some people who start working in pyramid schemes are a little too eager and unaware of what's to come. They don't seem to understand that they're being scammed, and they'd rather brag about their entrepreneurship all over social media, making the rest of us cringe. These are some of the sad yet hilarious things they've posted while trying to recruit others to join in on their MLM endeavor. Unsurprisingly, these didn't work very well.
