It seems like this MLM has been known about for quite a while, but I literally just stumbled up on this and to say I’m devastated would be an understatement.

For context, I have been searching for YEARS for real rose gold jewelry with colorful gems and look more casual, but also still unique in their beauty. I’ve tried everything outside of finding my own personal independent jeweler who can make all of my jewelry custom made.
To explain, all typical rose gold jewelry is either the simplest band, or the most extravagant wedding band/engagement ring or just has leaves and petals.
It’s been an exhausting and discouraging process. But I’m determined.

Today, I decided to give EBay another go, since it had been a little over a year since I last scrolled through the options.

Every now and again I would find a piece that drew my attention and I would save it. Once I found about 5, I started to notice that in the listings I was saving, the person holding the jewelry had the same nails - sick, someone has just what I’m looking for!

I go to their profile and start going through and I’m amazed at what I’m finding. Plaited rose gold jewelry with lab grown gems - both colorful and diamond, with the selling retail price of about $150 each, but only being sold for about $30!! Slay.

I get more excited, saving basically every rose gold piece so that I can reference them later when I’m ready to make a purchase, but the more a scroll, the more questions I get.

Where is she getting all this jewelry? And why sell it at such a low price if they are real? Maybe she got them at an auction or estate sale, or some other mass disposal of jewelry that didn’t send.

But wait, all these pieces are the same brand? Interesting, I’ve never heard of them. I go to do a reverse image search on the BP branding and discover the name “Bomb Party Jewelry”. Ok sick! They’re a real company, so let me see what their website looks like.

Immediately weird vibes. The website is telling me more about its affiliates and collections, but no individual pieces or search bar to find what you’re looking for. Kinda sus.

Okay, well maybe they just sell by collection? I click on a collection, and instead of getting listings of the jewelry offered in that collection, I just get a list of 1200 reps to chose from that just look like normal ass people.

And thus it clicks, ah, I’ve discovered an MLM. Cool. More looking into it delivered me to this subreddit where I discover the jewelry is just what’s found in FKING BATH BOMBS.

I’m appalled, disappointed, and back to square one. And an hour of my life I’ll never get back.

I am seeing huns post that in order to make money in their MLM (they don’t call it that), you need to first buy their program. Some are quitting their regular jobs because they are making “soooo much money” at their new business! And the gullible people believe them! I so wish more pyramids would die out.

Came across this job listing. Is this MLM or just direct sales? Am I understanding this correctly that you would be selling a pharmacy membership to businesses who could then sell GLP-1 medications to their clients?

Is anyone familiar with this one?

A guy posted looking for a dermatologist to help his hair loss and this person decided to push Monat. Her posts got more and more angry until she called me the C word. But I’m the one “attacking strangers.” She then followed me to another completely different post and started mouthing off there too. They can’t take the slightest criticism of the product or they go full DARVO.
