What has someone fallen for that should have been avoided?

My ex who got approached by a high school friend to join IM Academy (I googled it but seems like it doesn’t exist anymore?) to trade forex.

Now, I know a little about trading and have begged for her to not join. I only found out when she ASKED me to join so she could get a bonus. She gets a bonus for every person who joins under her.

They would all get together and learn from a teacher on how to trade and teacher has some sort of insider secrets or some sort. They always say that it takes time to get rich (to make the user stay in the MLM)

A few things, my ex was pretty smart but fucking gullible it’s insane. This was because the teacher was driving a nice car and spent thousands on lunch (IG Pics, staged ofc)

You have to pay to be in IM Academy, you get bonus for every person you invite, and she was making a loss each month but still paid into it.

Eventually I gave up telling her to leave and just let her to it. Have you ever advised someone to not/do something but gave up because it would be better for them to experience it to let them see that you were right. Fuck I’m still annoyed.

She is now studying to be a UX Designer. Not sure how that’s going
