Devastating expose of the lies and financial deceit that underpin so-called "Successful Business Owners", "Six Figure Earners" in MLM. How I hate what this business model does to women in particular.

There are a number of threads on here about them if you search. I've fallen into the rabbit hole of anti-MLM stuff online. Got a few friends doing them at the moment, staggeringly evil. Check out the Missing Crypo Queen podcast too.

No YANBU

It’s a wicked and exploitative business model

99% make no money or lose money

Those very few at the top who do make money are making it from those they’ve recruited

It should 100% be illegal. Totally exploitative of women in particular. I know so many who have fallen victim to this.

It’s awful how they create a cult like feeling, so that anyone who points out the scam is labelled a ‘hater’ and ‘negative’. I’ve seen a lot of posts from a fb friend (who I should unfollow) along the lines of ‘everyone said it was a scam, now I’m earning £££ per week, imagine if I’d listened to them’ bla bla bla. It’s designed to alienate people from their friends and family as well as screw them financially.

It disgusts me.

Huge directors’ loans, insolvent companies, personal bankruptcies ... there are lies, damned lies, and Forever Fibbing. It won’t be long before an aloe vera stall in a Primark staff room is marketed by a shill as “staff wellness projects for the staff [no shit, Sherlock!] at a well known high street retail chain.”
Let’s hope Primark has excellent staff benefits including access to a 24 hour telephone counselling service. God knows their staff will need therapy after their manager allowed the abomination which is Forever Living to infiltrate its premises.
