<prompt> Human: Hi all! I hope this is the right place for this question.I am a college professor and during introductions on the first day a student stated he had his own business and that he helped people lower their bills. I did not follow up, as I do not want to make students feel like they have to over-share their personal affairs in front of the class.In the second week, the student approached me, asking how much I pay for utilities and cellphone. I told him I didnt know which is true, as I just moved and had not gotten my first bill. He told me he has a way to lower bills through his business and that I should come to him when I got my first bill. I did not engage, as I have no interest in sharing my finances with a student and my scam-senses were tingling. Does this sound like a familiar scam to anyone? I did not get any details about how he does this, though he did say it wasnt through bundling or group purchases. Hes a young guy, probably 18 or so, so I cant imagine this is a legitimate, developed business. He did say his own phone plan is through his company, as opposed to Verizon or ATT, which also sounded strange.I have no intention of pursuing this with him, but I wondered out of curiosity if this sounded familiar to anyone. Thanks!  <response>: This sounds a lot like ACN. They offer phoneinternet etc and are one of those sell our products and have all your friends sign up under you bull-shit get rich quick schemes. My ex-boyfriend tried to sign me up to be one of his employees... and Im like Geez, we broke up years ago and I still cant get rid of you?Its an MLM - probably not a scam per se, but also not something you want to sign up for.
