In 2012, Citron Research issued a report "stating that Nu Skin's sales model on mainland China, the fastest growing market in direct-selling, amounted to an illegal multi-level marketing scheme." Nu Skin dismissed the claims, calling its sales model in China kosher and stating that it had no plans to change its business model in China. In January 2014, the Chinese government announced that it planned to investigate Nu Skin for allegedly operating an illegal pyramid scheme, causing the company's stock price to plunge. At least one analyst is optimistic about the outcome. Following the investigation, it was announced in March 2014 that the Chinese government would fine Nu Skin for approximately $540,000 dollars due to illegal sales as well as making false product claims.

My mistake vego

I got confused cos I think my Jeunesse bot is now a nu skin one. I've had her posts on hide for a while.

MimsyPimsy · 23/02/2016 16:57

Vego I think you missed my question about what level you are at now? It all seems a bit confusing.

VegoDoll · 23/02/2016 16:59

I am at Diamond rank, next rank is Blue Diamond which is the final rank. It seems a bit in poor taste to state what my earnings are which is why I suggest looking it up.

BeccaMumsnet · 23/02/2016 17:00

Hi everyone - can we have a bit of peace and love please?

nextyearrodney · 23/02/2016 17:01

That kind of ballpark figure Vego?

If that is in pounds, that diamond figure is about right for me. My earnings are on the high end for my rank because the volume is there. But that blue diamond figure is for a matured blue diamond. I wont earn that much in June I am certain about that.

workingwithchimps · 23/02/2016 17:09

Beccamumsnet - all love from me - I have nothing but - except when individuals question the morality of the way I earn an income without stating true hard facts - labelling and discouraging others with terms bs videos from 1975 - US based supposed information and piss-staking.

CheekySmile · 23/02/2016 17:11

Yep, the third time I've asked for an opinion on the facts. I'm not interested in a war of words, just a genuine comment on what this might mean for the people at the bottom of the reverse funnel. If there's a point I'm missing I'd really be interested in knowing what it is.

Don't make me come up there Angry

lastuseraccount123 · 23/02/2016 17:12

Good afternoon mumsnet! Would anyone care to explain why my children, my parenting skills and my ethics and honesty have become topics of conversation to the world without a single person asking me personally about such important facts? Making assumptions about someone and then slandering their name is apparently all the rage now is it?

Come on then...... Fire away! God you must feel that all your Christmases have come at once right now!

Please note I've used my actual name, nothing worse than a pot stirring keyboard warrior not brave enough to stand by their argument..... 👍🏻

So many points I'd love to answer here that my post could easily be 50000 pages long! Line up..... One at a time!

kamchatka23 · 23/02/2016 17:14

That chart is in dollars, not pounds.

My identity is not a secret on these threads.

Question 1.

How many individuals overall have signed annual contracts with your so-called 'MLM income opportunity' since it was first instigated?

VegoDoll · 23/02/2016 17:19

Smile I am well aware that the figures do not look great on the whole. But, what can I say to you really? When it appears I have been able to overcome the odds and become profitable in MLM? Yes, no one in my downline earns as much as me, but like I alluded to in my previous posts. I do have people in my team who have been with me since day 1 of joining. I have taught them everything I know and they are now earning a decent amount each month and that will continue to grow. No, not thousands are earning decent money, but I do try my best for my team.

fastdaytears · 23/02/2016 17:20

without a single person asking me personally about such important facts

Well presumably because you wouldn't be likely to agree that yes you are exploiting vulnerable people and then blaming them when it all goes horribly wrong.

You know we're allowed to talk about people without contacting them directly for a comment right?

bulstrode · 23/02/2016 17:23

Natasha. Why the mandated personal spend and other expenses that are actually profit making for the company/uplines?

NatashaBarnBotShingles · 23/02/2016 17:24

Again.... You make the assumption I am exploiting people!
Remember, I too joined MLM with nothing. Single mum, deteriorating health condition and £17 in the bank!
Do I feel exploited? Absolutely not! Only my team could answer for themselves but no one joins me thinking it's easy I can assure you that much!

stopfaffing · 23/02/2016 17:25

Thread is filling up fast. Can we have a new one soon please. Sorry, can't do it, got to go out Grin. Be back later though.

Patzy85 · 23/02/2016 17:26

I think we should all sit back and let eyespying take over. This could be absolutely divine!

workingwithchimps · 23/02/2016 17:26

You see Becca - people were more than happy to slander and post negative stuff about some of us and what we do - supposed plants - fantasy houses castles and cars supplied by up lines and head offices - yet no one would own up to calling us names - telling us how tired we looked or using kids to sell products - down lines have the capacity to earn a lot if not more than we can if they so choose - but when some of us fight back all of a sudden it's a problem? Go back to the first thread and take it from there

fastdaytears · 23/02/2016 17:26

You make the assumption I am exploiting people!

Not an assumption.

But next question and way more exciting, have you met Linford Christie?
