Which I've already got and can handle well enough, so... Make a thread. This isn’t me being a stickler about rules or w/e but it’s just an interesting topic that should generate a lot of discussion. My parents also have crazy ideas like this that I don’t know where to talk about.

I’ll make one tonight. Currently accompanying them on their “research” just so I can speak up if anything tries to get signed.

Ur Getting Fatter posted:You need to consult an estate planning attorney before you, personally, sign anything. What? Unless they forge his signature, it's going to be very obvious to him whether or not something is in his name. The parents are just looking for a "free" property manager basically while benefiting their child.

I never said he’d be signing under deception, but without carefully reviewing a legal document it’s difficult to know exactly what you’re getting into. I’m glad you’ve got complex real estate transfers through an LLC figured out, but the OP clearly doesn’t. Also the OP is clearly uncomfortable with all of this and his parents are pressuring him into it which are all red flags that warrant closer scrutiny.

I’m of the opinion that a lawyer that has actually seen the paperwork should make that determination.

We can easily speculate about the form of this transaction but it's gonna require someone to look at the documentation involved. And if that documentation is more complex than "I convey Blackacre Condo to C child in fee simple," then it's proper to ask a trained professional wtf is really happening. Thinking yourself too smart to require outside assistance is how you end up in this thread as a cautionary tale.

Idk if this’s the place to post this I tried r/ AntiMLM too https://www.reddit.com/r/personalfinance/comments/9s5kch/idk_if_thiss_the_place_to_post_this_i_tried_r/ quote:I fell for an MLM called DubLi (I know I’m stupid) I was in desperate need of cash and they convinced me that this was a legit business (I didn’t know about this subreddit yet) And now I’m REALLY in desperate need of cash. Their travel programs are honestly good but everything else is pure garbage. Is there any forum or site where people who are obsessed with MLM for some reason buy accounts or something. I REALLY need to sell my account (for a discounted price) and get as far away from all those toxic people in the “business”. Any ideas or solutions would be appreciated. quote:I cancelled all the recurring bills and they sell accounts (not physical). Cashbacks and travel programs for $49 a year. I had to pay for 12 accounts (+ like $100 in “trainings” and they made me travel to other cities for seminars and lose many relationships with close people) and use one of the accounts for myself, so now I have 11 accounts left and they expire in 8 months. Running out of other suckers.

I was gullibly scammed out of $1400quote:First off, I just want to say that this will be a long post, because I do want to rant and provide a lot of context for feedback and introspection. But basically, I was given jewelry by who claimed to be a rich man from Dubai in front of his family from a very expensive car at a gas stop who claimed to have run out of exchange cash. I felt bad for them and especially their kids, who were apparently in on the scam. As it turns out, none of the jewelry was real, and although a $1400 loss isn't going to kill me, it does sting, and I want to vent with someone. I apologize if this isn't the best subreddit for it; if someone could point me in the right direction, I'd appreciate it.

Whoa whoa whoa, get your brands straight. Lululemon is really expensive yoga pants/activewear for the pilates and ski holiday crowd. They are sold in normal stores in normal ways. Lularoe is the MLM stretchy pants. They are sold by MOM BOSSES

My Facebook feed is currently covered in posts for an online Pampered Chef party my friend threw for her sister, asking me to join the group and get a free prize. I have no idea how this works, nor do I want to. Despite not joining, I do see the comments. Outside of my friend and her sister, one other person actually showed up, mostly because she spends a week every year at her house for free and probably SHOULD buy something. Another friend would post chocolate parties and get mad that nobody would RSVP. I think she dropped me after marrying some homophobic Russian guy.

On the other hand, now all this guy needs is a couple pieces of appropriate clothing, and he can just put on the lovely jewelry and run this scam on someone else to recover his money!

Um, clearly the GWM approach is to sell the scam method to other people and create your own middle eastern mlm scam. You can call it IslamaRoe and your sellers can be called Prophets.

Help! Is this a scam?! https://www.reddit.com/r/personalfinance/comments/9sfur8/help_is_this_a_scam/ quote:So I was talking to this guy online and he wanted to start a relationship. I thought sure why not. And then next thing I know is he is asking me to create a bank account so he can put his inheritance money in there. I’m pretty sure he’s asking me to be a money mule. I made a mistake and already created the bank account but haven’t given him any details. Can someone help me out with this? Seems legit.

How do you make a bank account by mistake. "Whoops, I spilled a bunch of ink on these forms in the shape of my personal information and then the wind blew the whole thing into my local bank. Again!"

Talking to people who work at bank branches, apparently it is pretty routine to see someone come in to do something similar. Occasionally it works, someone finally gets a little bit of sense drilled into their brain and they realize what is happening. Still others refuse to listen.

I have no idea how this works, nor do I want to. My wife's feed is wall to wall Mom Bosses doing Rodan+Fields, which appears to be the new Mary Kay among MLMs (only it's totally legit see, it's run by actual doctors and scientists who wear white coats!). I don't know what the particular hook for this one is and don't want to but Jesus it has been spreading like a plague for a while now. My wife's flat out stopped talking to a real life friend because they kept messaging her on Facebook to take a free, quick survey (I assume that's the first try at the hook) and apparently they are coached that a polite "no thanks" is no excuse to stop trying.

I think there are kind of levels to how spammy an MLM is though. Mary Kay is an actual product that people buy, and it is possible for the sales rep to make a living selling the product. Cutco is also about selling a product, it just isn't a great product and is overpriced (don't tell that to the working class folks in my hometown though, they all paid to much for it and love it). Then you have Amway, Meleluca, etc where they tell you to make money by making more sales reps. Those are what I think of when we talk about MLM scams. It's sad too. My wife at one point wanted to write a book about MLMs when she noticed every stay at home mom she knew was doing them, so she signed up with Meleluca to learn about it. We actually liked the products but they were ridiculously overpriced. If they focused on making a good product asks selling through retail channels they would have something. The stain spray worked better than Spray and Wash or Shout. In the end my wife could not bring herself to lie to all her relatives to sign them up for a scam and abandoned the project. My mother had been biting her tongue the whole time and was relieved when my wife explained that she'd never actually believed she would make money at it. Mom had bought a couple hundred dollars worth of poo poo she didn't want just to be supportive and because she is too polite to say no. therobit fucked around with this message at 15:37 on Oct 30, 2018 |

Having worked in bank branches, if we figure out what is going on we will refuse to open the account. New accounts are worthless to us if we rake a loss due to fraud. I have had to say the words "We are not a clearing house for fraudulent checks" mores times than one would think reasonable. When you tell these people it is a scam they still want to go through with it because they think they will somehow beat the system and make money off of it.
