A guy approached me *in person* recently and talked to me out of nowhere. At first I thought he was gay. But he steered the conversation to business opportunities and said he was in an entrepreneurial ecommerce group with some other young guys. I'm open to new things so I pressed him for more details and he only could really say buzzwords like "revenue stream" and "ecommerce" and seemed shaky on explaining what they actually did, so I ultimately ended the convo cordially and never reached back out for more information.

Of course a small part of me thinks "what if there's really something there", but the pragmatic part of me thinks "this is some sort of MLM, make the top guy rich while getting nothing for yourself" thing.

The only part that is iffy is the part where he tells everyone that they won the raffle. That could be fraud, but he had a lawyer check it out and was told as long as he words it correctly he's in the clear.
