Then, there's the guy...

Does this industry make us loopy? Or do we just not hear what's going on in our own heads?

This is the copy from an actual ad posted in a MySpace group:

"Not MLM! No Cold Calling! NO Talking to Family and Friends! NO Selling! NO Answering Questions! NO Speaking To Prospects! NO Phone Calls At All! Average Joes who tried everything and never made any money are earning five figures a month! I'm a top producer you will get my system! It pours in the cash within hours!"

Some guy responded before I could, and I let myself think for a minute that I'd found another socially conscious network marketer who isn't afraid to speak his mind. Here's his response to the post... verbatim:

"Hey you! That is a big time scam! You can't make money if you don't work or put any effort in to what you're doing. That is a BIG time scam!"

And, I was with him, until I read his last line...

"I got a better one..."
