Taking the subway for 9 stops and transferring for 300,000—just like that! Is it really so easy for Web2 to scam money? This morning, a man and a woman got on the subway with me, sitting diagonally across. The carriage was empty, and their conversation was clear and audible. The man transferred 300,000 to the woman in less than 9 stops. I really wanted to stop him, but I was genuinely afraid of retaliation and worried it was a phishing scam. Two other people in the carriage also couldn’t stand it and changed seats. I’ve summarized their conversation content for everyone to judge.

First stage: Product
Man: The face mask you bought before, wear it for an hour every day. After two cycles, you won’t need water, lotion, or cream anymore. But! You need to pay attention to a few points when using it.

Second stage: Startup story
Everyone in our circle knows I’m in the “Million Dollar Team.” (Keywords, unfortunately I can’t enlarge the text) Because our team’s leader earned a million in three months, everyone calls her Sister Million. Back then, she didn’t want to do live streams at all, but now she’s like this.

Third stage: Making money together
When she earned a million, her team’s top earner only made 300,000, while several others made 100,000 or 200,000. Initially, they were worried about the compliance issues of direct sales, so they stopped once they got the money. Now, everyone has returned to leading their own teams. First, find those who are willing to give you money for any reason, because where there’s a chance to make money, you definitely bring close friends first. Customers and others come later—using the product and making money, who wouldn’t want that?

Fourth stage: Closing the deal
Before you paid for my product, I knew we were compatible—simple people. My cousin just started working with me too. The girl is not easy; she saved up 150,000 herself and gave it to me. I really felt sorry for her hard work and wanted to help her out. Do you want to come? You’re not running a clothing store, right? Why? Want to develop clients? Of course, the more you invest, the higher the returns. There’s no free lunch in the world.

Fifth stage: Collecting money + fantasizing
Work hard and develop your close friends and family first, then talk to good clients. Remember, if there’s a chance to make money, give it to your close ones first. Just wait for your share. I’ll take you to get some samples. The whole process was completely led by the woman’s thoughts, with the man guiding her. If this isn’t a setup to fish in the subway, then I can only feel that this woman was scammed badly. I originally thought Web3 scams were constantly changing tricks, but I didn’t expect Web2 to be just as relentless in collecting money.

Weakly asking: Isn’t this really just pyramid selling?
