One of your friends gave her your contact information. You need to address this with your friend. It is probably the one that complained to you about blocking the texts, phone calls, and emails. What she did was unacceptable to give out your information and then to follow up by trying to get you to remove the spam filters.
I see it as a move to guilt me into removing my blocks and spam filters so she can continue her crusade to harass me to death.
I don't think it's even about making money with some of these people, I think they just enjoy stepping over other peoples' boundaries.
I had a friend, several years ago, give out my husband's cell phone number to an MLM person he had never met before; she started calling him at work during the day, during business meetings. He went through the roof. These people have no limits and no boundaries as to what they will do.
I have a family member on my wife's side of the family who sells a MLM product. She is so sweet, but she is relentless.
When I was flying to New York to make a national television appearance, she asked me to talk to the hostess about her product. When I went to New Zealand for three weeks on business, she asked me to see if there were any people who could be part of her network down there. As if.
I guess the problem with these people is that 1) They have no sense of boundaries between commerce and friendship; and 2) they've had drilled within them that "No" is a synonym for "Not now." They have no idea how obnoxious they are being, even the best of them.
Another bunch I've lump into this category? Real estate agents. They are a notch above MLM, but not very far.

I think they also know they figure out it is a loosing cause with the "business" and just get desperate. But it's pretty lousy to try to inflict the same nonsense on others just because she was stupid enough to get suckered into it. Good luck shaking her off.

I recently asked a real estate agent to stop sending me letters about selling my house. She would send it once a month, for many years. I felt it was a waste of her postage stamps and a waste of paper as well. We get these often from other real estate agents but she has been the most persistent of all.
I think she spams so many people via email, text and phone that she doesn't remember who is who, so she may not realize she's contacted me that many times. She'd likely deny it.
This woman has keeps sending texts to my home phone about her MLM business which is DoTerra (I think that's how it's spelled) essential oils. I responded the first time saying 1) I wasn't interested and 2) I'd never met her. She replied "you've met me and you gave me your information". No, I didn't, but whatever. I blocked her on my home phone. Now she is sending me emails which I'm sending to spam. Then she started sending me invites to her parties through FB, I am not on her friend list. I blocked her. We have some mutual friends, one of them told me just today "she knows you blocked her, that's kind of a hostile move". As if I'm supposed to unblock her and let her keep contacting me, which I'd prefer not to do. So what is the best and nicest way to get rid of someone that is considered non-hostile and socially acceptable? Please don't say I should give her business a try because I have zero interest in it.
think I saw this episode on Curb Your Enthusiasm - can't recall how Larry handled it
