I can contribute to this thread. My girlfriend's cousin was an early adopter/joiner of the sales team of Nerium which is some skin cream or lotion. Apparently it works fairly well (but costs like 80 bucks for a 250 ml bottle). Think Avon. Except unlike Avon it's CLEARLY a MLM scam. It's easier to make money by bringing in new salespeople than actually selling, they've got bullshit mega conferences all over the country you're encouraged to attend, you get discounts if you buy the lotion for yourself and it counts towards your sales. It's classic. What's sad is that since he was an early joiner he was fairly successful early on and was even given a company car to drive around (surely to show the salespeople he recruited that "this could be you!"). But now that they've reached "peak MLM" the success is drying up and they're stuck trying to sell overpriced skin lotion and have committed 3-4 years to make it their identity and are unable to disengage.

I'll combine scams and schadenfreude into this: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-3617857/Woman-half-nose-cut-herbal-remedy-used-skin-cancer-ROTTED-face.html NOT WORK/MIND SAFE The end result of "The internet knows better than the FDA"

The worst part is you can find he testimonial online and she loving blames herself. She says she must have not been using it correctly.

Does the person ever find someone to do it? Do they actually go out to their car like they say? Very unlikely that's legit. The scam works where the guy gives you the wallet with nothing in it but $10 and then the restaurant owners come out demanding payment, "That last guy ran out!" You give them the last guy's wallet right away but there isn't enough money. At this point they might guilt you into paying the different, will make enough of a scene by saying you were his friend that they pressure you, or will intimidate you into "paying" the balance. Could be legit but think about it, if you've ever needed to leave "collateral" while you run out to your car you leave it with your waiter or the host, not some random customer.

If it's a small terminal then she can go out and come back in, no way I'm screwing around in federal crime territory.
