<prompt> Human: Today I and a family member met with a salesman, who introduced us to the concept of direct marketing.He explained us that its sort of like connecting the consumers instead of putting money in advertising and letting the consumer advertise and share the product with their acquaintances, friends and family. After introducing the product they can buy it from the site or you and you get a 30 commission. You can buy the product for yourself too and in the end of the month you basically receive 30 of the price back.There are a few tiers to it. The more money is made by selling products, the more percent you get back at the end of the month. Also if you join you receive license which allows you to sell and with this license you can invite more people to join and buy and sell, just like you do. With every person you can raise the percentage of the commission you receive and they start just like you with a 30 commission and the ability to recruit more people and raise their percentage.So Im worried that it is some sort of pyramid scheme.The salesman, who said he basically just went to the same process as I described above, was nice professional, but he was a bit to convenient with letting us try some of the products they sell. To quickly describe the products: They cooperate with many different companies and sell their products through a website and the consumer model I described. Products ranging from beauty to supplements to kitchenware. All very legit companies too. Edit: Just to mention it up here, I am located in Europe. So its not likely that its well known in the USA. Also I am fresh out of high school and dont have too much of a knowledge so Im grateful that you all are helping me. Edit2: Thanks again to everyone who commented. Crisis averted. No pyramids except the ones with eyes in our home!  <response>: So Im worried that it is some sort of pyramid scheme. ... There are a few tiers to it.I think you just confirmed your own suspicions. :As other commenter in here said, dont go for it.
