It's happened, it has finally happened. I've seen my first post on Facebook that is promoting MLM as an ideal way of working in this climate of coronavirus and self isolation.

I know people have mixed feelings about MLM but surely capitalising on a global pandemic as a means of getting people to join the MLM is pretty awful?

I saw it alluded to a couple of days ago. Unbelievable!

Well ... I suppose it beats advertising essential fucking oils as a pancea and telling folks to go cough all over everyone else just so long as they apply their special health blend first ...

... but, yes, of course it's disgusting to go ahead and profiteer from a crisis.

Same goes for the bloody cyber criminals having adopted the subject lines of their phishing emails.

Aloe Vera and contactless drop off.

The same people who believe that crap doing the rounds about drinking water every 15min to flush the virus from your throat.

I've had a few on mine with posts about how they can get hand wash which will last for months (not at the current rate of hand washing advised) for the bargain price of £7.25!

This is a recruiting post for the travel MLM, Inteletravel.

Tasteless at best. No one is booking travel right now too, so I don’t know where these commissions are going to come from. Absolutely VILE.

I think it is vile. It's preying on people's fears as well as guilt at having to balance working with children. The one I've seen was a Younique person. She's normally ok so I was taken aback seeing it from her.
