Questionable Legislation Sponsored to Make Pyramid Schemes Legal

Multi-Level Marketing Scams

Have you ever been approached to learn about a great “business opportunity”? I have been. Over and over again. For more than forty years! The names of the groups change but they are all pretty much the same. I have also been asked to help a family member or friend caught up in a Multi-Level Marketing (MLM) scam. MLMs are pyramid schemes that focus on recruiting others to recruit others and statistics show that 99% of people involved lose money. Warning, you can’t make millions of dollars part-time. Common sense, yes? However, recruiters are very convincing. They use deception in all its forms (withholding vital information, distorting information and outright lying) to ensnare people who have not learned about cult mind control techniques.
