Boresha Coffee – Pyramid Schemes Come to Coffee

If you love pyramid schemes (aka multi-level marketing, or “cooperative marketing”) then read no further. Just click the graphic and don’t look back. More power to you.
Personally, these types of companies make me feel queasy. So when I saw the add for “free coffee samples” on Facebook and it took me to this Boresha “Excotic Coffee Experience With A Purpose” I was a bit excited. But the further I read, the more uneasy I felt.
It’s the same old story. It’s Amway with coffee. They promise that if you join, and sell their product (which is easy, they say, because the product sells itself) you rake in money hand over fist, and the more people you sign up to sell, you earn a percentage of all their money too. Add to this a red-herring where supposedly a portion of the profits also go to help poor kids in … you guessed it, Uganda, the center of the online scam world … I just have to throw my hands up and call foul.
I know people who swear by this kind of thing. Me, personally, my opinion is it’s a rip off. I don’t believe anyone but those at the top of the pyramid will ever make the kind of money they promise, and I wouldn’t ever want to be associated with it, because to me it smells of bullshit.
Anyway, there will be no reviewing of “Boresha” coffee on this website. Ever.
