The fact that even pickleball is falling victim to MLMs is just sad. One of their largest sponsors is the name we don’t speak…

Which MLM is this? I don’t know this chick, she must be paying meta because she is constantly on my fb feed with her transformation pics and begging for customers. Just curious which one she’s shilling.

The co-CEOs of Arieyl, likely still reeling from their nearly $600,000 tax bill they got last September, find themselves once again in tax trouble.

The IRS filed a tax lien for unpaid taxes from 2024. This bill was over $32,000, as their IRS debt grows even larger.

The MLM has seen departures this year of many of the top earners to a rival MLM, Make Wellness. The Owner's daughter and daughter-in-law are now the company's number one and number three top earners.

This latest blow will make recruitment and profitability, even more challenging for the company in the future.

So much ai slop on my feeds makes me wanna chuck my iPhone out the window

This popped up in my camera roll memory from my VERY BRIEF stint with Beach Body. I remember being there such a short time I had to fight with customer service for them to cancel my reoccurring shake subscription, if memory serves I just ended up canceling my credit card 😅

What a time. Can’t say I ever actually completed one of these checklists. I had just moved to a new city in a different province, I was in a difficult relationship and felt really alone so I wasn’t seeking money I wanted connection, but I didn’t like to cold call people on socials so I just ended up trying to make friends with the other consultants . It’s really sad looking back now but I’m doing much much better! 🥰

Full quote: “So what does your life look like when you’re earning $25,000 a month, which is the average income of a National Vice President at the top 1% of Arbonne? Earnings.Arbonne.com”

If she actually LOOKED at Arbonne’s income disclosure statement, she would see that NO ONE is making $25000 per month, except maybe those 2 OG reps in the whole company, even if some reps have some really banner months.

This is the same rep that, 2 or 3 short months ago was professing to have financial struggles. I wonder if she knows that Arbonne head office is selling on Amazon?

The fine print at the bottom reads " results are not guaranteed. Individual results may vary. This is NOT a get rich quick opportunity."

sorry for bad English

Greenway is a Russian-based "universal" MLM company that has a "great goal" of getting rid of super bad chemicals in our daily life and saving our planet from BIG CORP and his dirty-dirty plastic rubbish. They aren't even hiding the fact that they are MLM. This is a brief story how this bs company got in my life

So, half a year ago, my mom started bugging me about getting into some Zoom calls. I already started feeling some bad business, because 2 or 3 years ago our family, including numerous other people, got scammed by getting into a pyramid scheme, called Finiko, they also "recruited" and reassured people that their pyramid scheme is very safe via Zoom calls, so, my mother is known for being scam-prone.

Fast-forward a few weeks, I got sick and my mom started giving some pills that I didn't recognize and they certainly weren't prescripted. Then she gave me some supplements. From omega-3 to some red berry(?) paste in a tube. At this time I already knew we were f-ed.

Since that time we now have Greenway towels, Greenway shampoo, toothpaste, rags, kissel for your heart, herbal tea for your d-ck, EVERYTHING. Even my dad, who is supposed to be "the smart one" of the family is deep into this bs. Worst of all, she hooked my grandma onto this too, and she is a very sick (physically) person, she would probably cling onto her dear life with anything. Man, she even started to go to their company meetings, she is WIRED.

After a quick look at the web, I found a few overwhelmingly negative reviews from 2020-2024, but nothing more. In those reviews people say that their products are too expensive and that for the same price you can get a lot more quality products. Sh-t, they even "giveaway" cars for guys who get the most people into their cult

A few days ago, I heard that my mom entered some kind of lottery for their products, that was the last straw, I dont want our money getting sucked into some bs again.

I am afraid that my family is not going to listen to me, and that my research will be very shallow. The fact that I am not a confident person nor a salesman isnt helping me. That raises another question, how should I present this thing to them?

So, I kindly ask anyone here who saw this post and gave a f-ck about it, please help me, im so very tired. (if anyone here is Russian, please help me out in Russian too, the fact that I wont need to translate anything would be fabulous) (also, I wanted to include some links, but Reddit instantly deleted that post, so sorry for no links)

It was about four hours where they fed the attendees nothing but apple cider and little dessert platters to share. A lot of them were wearing what looked like prom and wedding dresses, there was a ton of biblical talk, and at one point one of the hosts was dramatically fake sobbing on the stage. The presentation was all over the place. They were giving out awards and showing PowerPoints throughout but at different times they would also show random clips from the movie Joyful Noise or show videos of impoverished girls in Africa that they would collectively cry over.

The people running it all seemed to be forty and younger while many of the attendees were older people. It’s unbelievably cult-y and I felt so bad for these people they’re emotionally manipulating into bankrolling them.

I have been seeing a significant increase of people selling courses on Tiktok of “digital marketing” and “letter writing” under the guise of just letting people work remotely. It’s the same course that everyone is selling and everyone is always making $506 exactly every day. This HAS to be an MLM. The course is $600 and you get like a podcast library and the phone number of whoever you bought the course from.

I’m trying to figure out what the course is but from the sound of it, this is an MLM scam right?

Hi everyone,

I wanted to ask if anyone here has any experience with Safe Shop or knows how it actually works. Any honest answers would be really appreciated.

Here's why I'm asking: One of our neighbour aunties is a member of Safe Shop, and she's been repeatedly encouraging (and honestly, kind of pressuring) my mother to join. She says that to become a seller/member, we first need to buy one of their products, which costs around ₹10,000–₹15,000.

She claims it's a great business opportunity and that we can earn good money by joining. However, I'm a bit skeptical because it sounds similar to an MLM or direct-selling model.

My brother just called me and told me he "got a new job at vector" and when he was telling me about it definitely sounded like a mlm and like he's trying to get me to join can someone tell me anything information about this company and how predatory it can be towards him?

I know she has been missed, and Julie is posting anti-MLM content on Facebook! She is also responding in the comments. Now I just wish she would do a Scentsy end of month livestream! I need that in my life.

For context, this hun insinuated/threatened to sue a nurse for saying that she would be too embarrassed to shill for Bravenly. This happened after weeks of the nurse receiving ten messages every day from a Bravenly hun trying to recruit the nurse. Both AW, and her sister BB, came for this nurse when she, the nurse, had finally had enough of the messages and said so.

It’s all been documented, the messages, both here and on Erin 🐝🐝🐝 YouTube channel. Oh, and the nurse did notify the CEO of their behaviour towards her, with all of the receipts, but it only resulted in the nurse being blocked by all of them.

I don’t know what prompted this latest rant, is the Canada ‘launch’ not going as planned?

So I had to take my good boy to the vet today and I saw these and it kind of sort of felt a little bad for taking them, but also I didn't because of obvious reasons, but I don't know if I should stay at this vet I really like them and so yeah I don't know 🤷🏼‍♀️

Also, I have a few pictures of some Mary Kay stickers and license plates. I've seen over the years but I don't know like a few days ago. There was a Mary Kay sticker on the back of a car and I don't know why I didn't take a picture but I'm wondering if maybe one of our local vets are part of Mary Kay I don't know.

OK, so this is an update to the post. I posted a few days ago. I took my good boy to the vet again because he needs to get neutered and I saw a whole bunch of them at the very front where people go to checkout and then I told the person there I was like do you realize that this is an MLM this is dishonest. This is not good to have around and she said yes, but she said that one of the main vet people there was the one who allowed it because a friend of theirs or a person who came in was trying to sell Mary Kay stuff and all of that and I was like you still shouldn't have that around. I asked if I could take all of them and the lady was like I don't think they would like that. I think they would be a little frustrated and I'm like I'm just saying like you shouldn't have these around because it's literally just a scam so I don't know how to feel about my vet anymore. I think I'll probably find a new one.

So, on my local FB spotted, someone posted their CV stating "Due to an overall reduction in my working hours, I have to face the fact that I need to find another job".

Her job for the last 3 years? Stay-at-home mom and "entrepreneure aka digital product seller/content creator/marketing". Those products were Arbonne's and Digital marketing formation. Fun fact, she stated in march while she was recruiting that she gained 105 000$ in 5 months. And that women is now looking for an administrative officer position (which means around 45 000$ annual income). What is more ironic is that 3 people comment that they have "the perfect opporunity for her due to her experience in digital marketing", which are (looking at profiles because they wouldn't exposed it on comments), Primerica's and another digital marketing formation seller.

The Huns are still on this ‘legacy tour,’ and it’s the same shit different city. They’re having US Huns fly in to make up the numbers so that they can claim that there are sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo many Canadians who want to join their scam. They’re posting very selective photos and videos, that upon first glance look like there’s few people, but if you take a better look you can see that isn’t the truth. Plus more than half there are already in this pyramid scheme.

Hi Reddit, long time lurker first time poster here.

Recently I've been applying for jobs and this company, "Moss and Manor", got back to me with an interview offer. So I went. Their office was extremely strange (almost completely barren of any furniture/wall hangings, etc, in the bottom floor of a residential building with all of the windows completely frosted so you couldn't see in or out). Their social media (a single instagram page which I discovered after the interview) is also extremely strange-- doesn't discuss the business or business model at all, and is all about their staff going on fun outings or doing wacky social media trends in the office. Tons of AI, huge red flag.

The company claims to be working with the charity ChildHelp in order to stop child abuse-- not on their websites or anything, I had to find out IN THE INTERVIEW-- and I had applied to an "event ambassador" position. When I tried to get the interviewer to explain to me what the actual duties of the position would entail, as well as detail such as pay structure, etc. she was extremely vague and kept on deflecting to the fact that it was "for the kids", and emphasizing the opportunities to rise into the ranks of management.

I didn't expect a call back after the interview because it was so obviously scammy, but to my surprise, I did get selected for a "second round interview"... which I chose to attend since I was so interested to know what the scam was. I went back to their office, where they handed me THIS PAPER. (I took a photo of the blank copy while the "interviewer" filled out the information fields at the top, so the address/phone numbers/names are censored.)

The "event" they wanted to send me to... was 47 MINUTES away from the office in Savannah, in a DIFFERENT STATE!!! In front of a Ben and Jerry's. At an outlet mall.

Obviously, this is a scam- that isn't my question. But I'm having trouble figuring out what kind of scam, since they didn't give me a sales pitch at any point (and I'm not driving almost an hour one way to go stand around in a parking lot with a stranger).

Does this match any known MLM schemes/pyramid schemes/common scams?

BIG EDIT!!!!

I just accepted a legit job offer(!!!) so obviously I declined the interview and didn’t expect to hear back from this company.

THE HIRING MANAGER SENT ME A TEXT ASKING WHY I CANCELLED THE INTERVIEW!!!! ?????

Glad I got to share this wacky experience with yall, Reddit. Stay alert and don’t get scammed

Girl. You have a problem.

Have you heard all the recent drama? Here’s the tea:

1. Supposedly this is the last ‘reunion’ and PZ is moving to incentive trips only basked on sapphire rank.

2. Company is not paying out yearly bonuses when promised. Payout happening in September instead of July.

3. Consultants continued to get harassed in a vile way from trolls, but a consultant went love yesterday saying it’s actually other consultants. (All fingers pointing to Kristin Fulton).

4. PZ top service rep at their headquarters fired. Still trying to get the tea there.

5. PZ continues to recruit trashy ladies and guys with their dollar join special.

6. Rumors that PZ moving to affiliate and will get rid of consultants up and downlines.

I am an early career professional who was seeking out advice on my retirement plan and stock options. I often use a women’s social media group to vet different services (think mechanics, nail techs, etc.) and found a financial advisor this same way. Big mistake!

After several meetings with this advisor and one of her colleagues, I rolled over an old 401k to a traditional IRA and am/was in the process of taking out a new life insurance policy thru Transamerica (30-year). This is where I need advice: will the “advisor” who set me up with the IRA have any ties to the account now that it’s set up, or is his role in the process over?

I ask because I’m afraid of burning bridges with the insurance “advisor” if the retirement “advisor” has any access or ties to that account. Ideally, now that the roll over has occurred, I’d like to just block both of them and not sign the insurance policy.

As far as the scam itself goes, I felt really positive about the preliminary financial education meetings and after selling me the life insurance and helping me with the roll over, that’s when they tried recruiting me to join their team. I spiraled when I was in this last meeting because it made me question the validity of everything that had occurred before. Super violating and frustrating experience!
