Have had her experience a couple times. It's always kind of sad.
edit: funny thing, both people who tried to involve me in their moneymaking schemes were heavy duty Christians. Too small a sample size to draw any conclusions of course. One was a typical Amway-style pyramid scheme where I would sell cutlery door to door, recruiting others to do the same so I could get a cut of their commissions, the other was a tiered investment scheme that took me all of 5 minutes online to find out was a well-known scam.
Yeah I don't really feel anger or annoyance just sadness empathy and pity
It's part of why I cut my social media entirely, there's nobody I care enough about and can't just talk to or call that would make me want to endure the endless stream of people I barely know or long-lost coworkers and friends hitting me up to buy a ticket to a "conference" or try to get me to sell energy bars or essential oils.
