He was decent at the pitch and everything, but I am street smart and could smell the bullshit immediately.

The other guy who was working in a gas station would have been a great mark that hit all the qualities of someone that would have chased the promise of a better life the dude was trying to sell us. I really hope he cut and ran and is doing well.

Hopefully some young or desperate person reads the story and remembers it when they get approached for an MLM.
