Has anyone here replied to a job ad stating you can make $1,000 a week working from home?

I work a “real” job from home and I don’t even make $1000/week.

I got sucked into this one in college as well. The premise was you’d sell Cutco Knives- subsidiary of Alcoa Aluminum. They supposedly would supply the “leads” (people who entered their name to win a boat at the last home show) But you had to buy a full set of sample knives, a couple hundred dollars. But when I and the other suckers realized that people entering boat drawings had no interest in knives, we all bailed out and sold the samples to our long-suffering relatives.

To be fair, while Vector Marketing and Cutco knives are probably a waste of time to get involved with, they aren’t nearly as polluting and annoying as Herbalife. They don’t even push their recruits to do more recruiting - they just want them to sell knives. Of course, most people who want knives as expensive as Cutco ones don’t want to buy them through college-aged salespeople.
