I would contend that 'MLM' is something far more dangerous than just another crackpot pseudo-science/fraud. There have been countless millions of people churned through copy-cat 'MLM' rackets since 'Amway' first appeared. Current estimates are that at least 70 millions are being churned annually around the world. 'MLM' remains a largely-unrecognised criminogenic phenomenon of historic significance. It will only be brought under control when its true nature finally becomes widely-recognised.
So-called 'MLMs' have been peddled as 'home business/income opportunities,' they have also been peddled as 'the proven means for anyone to give up working for a wage/salary and achieve total financial freedom.'
These claims are demonstrable lies which have been designed to attract, and temporarily enslave, vulnerable persons who need to believe that they are true.
The actual, overall net-loss/churn rate for participation in so-called 'MLMs' has always been effectively 100% by design, but this key-information has not been made available to 'MLM' participants in an easy-to-understand format.
The 'MLM' phenomenon has been maliciously designed to spread like a virus, it is a titanic blame-the-victim cultic racket.
Has this been in the UK?
ReplyDeleteAs far as I know, the bosses of 'LulaRoe' have not registered companies or recruited adherents outside of the USA.
DeleteStrikes me MLM is a fraud, but it's like mediums, palm readers, astrology, homeopathy, faith healers, it's tolerated and so big it can't be stopped.

DeleteWhat would you say is the simplest explanation of why MLMs are frauds? I know everyone says they are pyramids, but even that needs an explanation.
