Is this an MLM tactic or a scam?

An ad on my friend's local Facebook page:

IM LOOKING FOR 8 PEOPLE TO TRIAL UK’s strongest legal liquid fat burner 🚀 10 DAY TRIAL!

My friend smelt a rat and asked if the product had been through a proper clinical trial, and her comment was deleted.

The OP was very secretive about the product and insisted on DMing everyone who commented.

It sounds like a scam doesn't it?

Scam, and also possibly an MLM.

Yeah mlm AND those "fat burner" shite are just laxatives.

An MLM is a scam!

Of course it's an MLM, how do you define a scam?

Getting people to part with money for something that doesn't work @satnighttakeaway?
