I once had someone I knew from college reach out a couple of years after we'd graduated with the premise of catching up and talking about "some stuff he was working on." I had no prior knowledge of MLM, but only a few minutes into our conversation, it was immediately clear to me that he was using some kind of rehearsed language, and my skepticism was raised. At some point, it segued into talk of financial independence and envisioning what that would look like for me, and it was suddenly clear to me what the psychological intent of the exercise was. I politely heard him out, suggested I'd get back to him once I'd had some time to think it over, and did so the next day, obviously declining. I hope he got back on the right track.
