Im actually kind of interested in the methods of those people.

Just block and move on with your life your time is way to valuable to even mess with this guy.
But if you have to make sure to ask if he has his Multi Level Marketing degree yet and wait on his response.

Do you know them? No? Block them. Yes? Tell them no and to not to get caught up in that shit because they'll just lose a lot of money.

His name would be on it and I don't want that. Maybe I upload later, edited. Also it's in German...
I should be glad to got a chance like that!

Man, I didn't read the "scheme" in the title and got super excited.

Thats a very complex question, what we really sell is a way of life

Just edit out the names. I'll translate it if you're too lazy.
Also, tell him to tell you what the product is. No name, no money. He'd be stupid to expect anything based on a secret concept alone.
Golden tickets to heaven. 110$ each. I purchase them from a man named Tito Watts for 100$ a pop, and re-sell them at an okay price. As many as you want! And you can re-sell them for up to 300$!!!!
Are you sure it isn't an Opportunity Triangle? I do'nt want you to miss out on a great chance to make money.
Do you like money? What I am offering you is a chance to make all the money you'll ever need and work on your own time. You will essentially own your own business.

HAHAHA, he doesn't want you to be able to google it first.
I wonder what it could be. Herbalife is popular in the German speaking region these days, as far as I can tell...
EDIT:
YO! Ask him if the product is on this list:

Tbh, he probably won't bite if you're too suspicious. You should just go and then tell him to sod off if he demands that you agree to anything right then and there. Sounds like a fun waste of time.
But I'd absolutely ask him about the list I posted above. If he says no, I'd be intrigued to see what he's selling. Anything on that list, meh. Wouldn't care, nothing amazing on there that you couldn't get without him.
Tell him that pyramid schemes are illegal and that you're going to report him to the FBI. That'll rustle his jimmies.
Multi Level Marketing, my friend. It's no pyramid, it's more of a... funnel system.
"Don't you want to be able to work for yourself? By the way, I'm your upline and my upline has an upline and my upline's upline has an upline but it's totally working for yourself I swear, hey check out this Mercedes Benz I've rented to look like my own but is not mine."

Fair enough. IlI' buy a set.
Shit I think I was to pushy, now he doesn't wanna do it anymore... And I still don't have the name :(
Pyramid schemes (sorry- "MULTI LEVEL MARKETING" lol) are fascinating. They operate like cults but in a corporate structure.
I have no idea how to find it now, but many years ago, I used to love a certain Donald Duck comic where he was sold products to re-sell. Tiny pyramids that'd have all sorts of effects (including the myth that you can keep knives sharp with them or some nonsense).
Took me years to realize it was all about a pyramid scheme, and that's why they chose that product...
...yeah, I do hate these schemes quite a bit.

Saw that coming. At this point, I'd just be honest and tell him he's an ignorant coward at best, since he doesn't even believe in his product enough to share the name, and most likely just a fraud who knows he's ripping people off. Shameful behavior that'd make me hope the person I'm talking to is just stupid, since the alternative is worse.

Ah yes, I remember my dumbass college roommate getting convinced to let a rep from Quixstar (Amway) come to our place. I insisted on staying in my room to play BF2 but this numbnuts rep wouldn't let it go so I came out to the living room.
Some pleasantries exchanged and then it went downhill fast with one of the first questions he asked:
Rep: "Do you know who the richest family in the world is?"
Me: *Wondering what this has to do with anything*
Rep: "Yup, the Walmarts."
Me: "You mean the Waltons? Their name isn't actually the Walmarts."
From there I sort of tuned out, occasionally hearing about how this has given people the opportunity to retire before 30, drive Porsches and own a home in the same neighborhood as Jeff Gordon.
I think my buddy did it for like a year, me making fun of him the whole time. Made nothing.
What a trip.
