ok.... so I got a weird email...

then an odd person appears on my msn.

the weird converstations start, at first they seem random, and interesting, but soon they just sound wrong.

very soon I realise this crazy estonian guy is trying to get me to join in some kind of pyramid scheme....

I am happy to elaborate on the details, but would also like some guidance on the best way to do that as well (how many details should I post here, do you guys want urls to the information I have seen ect)

I have explained to this guy in as many ways as I can that I am aware of the type of business strucure he is involved in, and am not interested in being involved.

I sent him this link
whats wrong with multi level marketing (http://www.vandruff.com/mlm.html)

which I would have thought could help him, if he was some poor idiot who didnt realise what they were involved with.

but to my amazement they seemed unfazed and kept trying to convince me, with ignorant argument.

now... the question is..

what do I do next.

So far I have passed him on a to a friend who is posing as a 67 year old Russian called Reepmiov. He is having fun pretending to be some gullable russian guy, and trying to waste as much of the guys time as possible (at least he ends up with less time to prey on targets that might actually sign up)

The guy started speaking russian back to him.... it has been a hilarious series of chat logs from msn.

Anyway, apart from having a bit of fun, not sure what I should do next
I'll await some reponses here before I take this thing any further.

oh yeah, I'll post the website here, if any members here want to delve in and have a look, research and find out what this particular MLM is all about.

www.mysuccessbusiness.com

is this guys site, I imagine every member of his 'elite team' has an equally **** looking, but similar site, which tracks and referrs to their account.

anyway, have a look and let me know what you think.

I deleted an email not 20 minutes ago from someone with this elite team estonia name in it. I get them quite often but I have yet to read one. I take a quick glance and see it is spam so I delete it.

I looked at the site just now and all I want to say is that it is no different from most of those types of make money online sites. Not a single word about how you are going to make money, like selling a product maybe?? No Just referring other people to the program is all they talk about. The money they will want you to send them will be for them to teach you how to talk other people into joining your downline. You will then become the same person who is talking to you on msn. What a way to make a living. But most people will never make a living in this type of mlm program. Only a very few at the top. Everyone else will have wasted a lot of time and a lot of money in the process. Sounds to me like you already know this and you are not going to get involved in it. Good deal for you and bad deal for pyramid builders. :)
