Sorry,

One more and I promise I'll stop. I'm not out to attack, simply rather to get a clearer picture. Most of these and the lady you referred to a few days as your mentor, write a lot of articles defending their respective companies against accusations of being scammers. It seems as MLM/pyramiders that they are VERY defensive.

Perhaps if you see this, you might give us a clearer picture of MLM marketing so we can better understand and make an informed decision about its legitimcay.

Duncan,

I'm not on a witch-hunt, but the more I read about this, the more it's rubbing me the wrong way.

God forbid, some poor sucker, out of a job and desperate to make money is at risk of losing EVERYTHING!

That's right, Yoni - it's a scam, plain & simple - against the law.

"The United States Federal Trade Commission states "Steer clear of multilevel marketing plans that pay commissions for recruiting new distributors. They're actually illegal pyramid schemes. Why is pyramiding dangerous? Because plans that pay commissions for recruiting new distributors inevitably collapse when no new distributors can be recruited. And when a plan collapses, most people - except perhaps those at the very top of the pyramid - end up empty-handed."

"However, there are people who hold that all MLMs are essentially pyramid schemes even if they are legal."

-Maybe I'm going too far and should just leave my mouth closed. But it seems the network is, by its own admission, MLM, and I'd sure hate to see someone get sucked in and lose the shirt off of his/her back.

Disclaimer: Duncan mentioned the word MLM in the past. I am taking this a bit further. No intention made to put words in his mouth.

I also have to say that with some of these people, there are reports on scam sites of people who more often than not are dissatisfied and looking for their money back.

I gotta say, respectfully so, I'm with Duncan on this one. I googled 5 of the guest bloggers and MLM (pyramid scheme) showed up with each of them.

I have to also say that with these, and some of the other people you have written about in your blog in the past, Scam is a word that pops up so to speak.
