Is it normal to not believe in the sincerity of others?

Long story short, I and my other two friends (say A and B) joined a multilevel marketing (mlm) with A on the top, B on the 5th level, and me on the 6th level. So you noticed i am at the lowest level in business.

I need to pay hell a lot to join this mlm and i did join because of the 'promise' that was given.

I am disappointed. But my two other friends still trying to back me up. on the other side, i feel like they just used me because of the mlm system.

the system works like this. A is on top and can ONLY have 2 persons connected to A. The only way to make profits is to encourage his underlings to find another person.

And i feel this is what they do to me.

They said they just want to help me out of sincerity. Is it normal for me to not believe them and feel like i am just being used?

    Those aren't friends, those are scammers. Google the term lovebomb.

    Oh, fuck: MLM, aka a pyramid scheme dressed up to look like a legit business so they don't get busted.

    My mother wasted years and a small fortune on a series of these scams, and there's nothing anyone can say that will make me believe they aren't all about making the assholes at the top rich at the expense of the suckers at the bottom.

    Your friends may genuinely believe what they're telling you. Once you invest financially in something, you're also invested emotionally in believing you haven't been scammed.

    You're being used. The only people that make money are the people at or near the top. If you can sucker in two other people you might make some of your money back.

    I got involved with a scheme once where they had all these products. I was being pressured to buy a "starter" kit which was quite a few bucks. Once I got my starter kit I was supposed to encourage friends to get involved. They didn't make too much mention of sales but a lot if emphasis on these kits and recruiting. As soon as I realized the MLM scam I was history!!
