Maybe this report done for the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) by Jon M. Taylor, MBA, Ph.D., of the Consumer Awareness Institute may have the reason why.

When someone urges you to join an MLM in their downline with tales of the riches you can earn, all they are trying to do is use you to earn themselves more money. They know the stats, they know you won't make money and you will lose money, and friends.

They will lovebomb you, be your best friend, be all over you and then drop you like a stone.

Look at the person who is your uplines facebook. See how the people who were tagged in her statuses a year ago the same way you are tagged now are doing. Are they still with the company? Many won't be. Those who are will still not be doing well, exactly the same as a year ago, or two years ago.

If you are in Forever living, check facebook for the global rally cheques of your upline, notice how they have been going down year on year? The market reached saturation point in 2015, it's downhill since then and things will get worse, not better.

Most MLM's in the UK are at the same point, we are not a huge country and MLM's have reached saturation point.

Let this thread commence with the celebration of what appears to be the end of the last act in the drama that has been... VALENTUS

Huns & manhuns: I give you the scam that kept us all on the edges of our seats throughout 2017... give it up for Valentus, their Loubs-loving, Rangel-driving “Diamonds”, and the never was and never will be UK/EU Compliant SLIMROAST COFFEE!

What???!!!???!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!

Today is a good today.

What happened? This is brilliant!

Oh yawn bot, the Goal Board photo you posted yesterday is missing the really large image of Dallas and the big fat cheque you didn't get this time.....

Yes THIS.....,I bloody resent people that try & sell you into their MLM scheme or hard sell you the buy rubbish you don't want!!

I think one of my friends has fallen into the trap. Trying to stay neutral but it is hard.

It's NU Skin. I've never heard of it before but she is following the script and telling us about the big annual meet up to the very ominous sounding 'Island'.

I've found the threads very interesting, I haven't read them all but skimmed the latest one and read Elle Beaus blog, which is so eye-opening, off the back of a post on here. So thank you!

Eeeeek! It's the Naughty Forty thread. 😉

Is Valentus really no more? Has it ceased to be? Has it expired and gone to meet its maker? Is it a stiff? Bereft of life, it's kicked the bucket, shuffled off its mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin' choir invisible!! THIS IS AN EX-MLM!

Bloody hell ... I hope it's dead and not pining for the Midlands.

Have I missed something?

What’s happened to Valentus?

It looks like the final, crumbling walls are falling down... according to a few reliable sources. Hopefully, it will all be public very soon.

Nu:Scam: outrageously expensive products, epically scandalous senior management team, shocking average income statement.

Do not touch with a barge pole.

Don't worry Arbunne, I won't buy anything. A few of my friends have bought the Lumi Spa but the pictures she is using to promote them are hilarious and I am mortified that people are falling for it.

A little background reading:

Thanks for the link. Will have a read and try to have a tactful word with my friend, and if that fails just call her out on the bull shit.

Johnny Karate, Nu Skin much like Forever Living appear to have peaked in the UK and have saturated the whole country with distributors.

The amount of so called "successful" Hunbots who didn't qualify for the recent success trip to Nu Skin HQ in Utah was hilarious.

Likewise the recent Marbella Success Summit, hunbots who pushed the boat out to get there last year and were extremely conspicuous by thier absence this year.

Thier most successful distributor quit the company earlier this year.

I’ll be glued to this thread for news of Valentus. I’ve not heard anything yet about the end being nigh.

@Whiterangey I like the tone of this thread. I hope we can prevent more women from being sucked into the MLM world.

valentus groups are still promoting and recruiting, either in denial or trying to squeeze out the last penny of two.

Thanks, White.

EXCELLENT thread title @Whiterangey and back to what we all started out to do; open potential recruits' eyes to the deception and lies around MLM

Salon has just posted what can only be described as a complete load of bollocks on her facebook page.

Apparently lots of people used to comment on how she looked, her eyebrows, that she had children from a previous relationship and other stuff.

Nope, a lot of people commented on how ruthless she was and how she would use people, be mean to them, and do whatever she could to make money. She seriously harmed people, really really tried her hardest to destroy people. She left many women in tears and broke, unable to feed their children, all while she is posting her stupid fake louboutins and stupid wedding which were paid for from the money she scammed from her downline.

I dread to think how much she scammed from those under her in the confirmed Ponzi Traffic Monsoon. I'm still hoping, as she will have ended up as a netwinner, that the receivers will come after her when they start to do clawbacks. They can be very very nasty about getting money back and most people do pay up.

I hope the rumours about trading standards investigating her are true, I hope HMRC also got involved and found something. If either of those things have happened, are happening, or will happen, I hope that if anything is found she is prosecuted. Mostly as punishment, but also as a warning to others.

I'm hoping that post is something to do with the rumours about the demise of Valentus and she is a bit worried.

Can anyone PM me who messiah, broke and salon are please?

@Whiterangey - Don't forget that Salon was also encouraging all & sundry to spend money they didn't have to stock up on a product that was prohibited for resale, even as others were sounding alarm bells.

A real piece of work.

She would do as she was toldadvised. The 'Organisation' isn't going to lose out.

Does anyone know if House of Colour is MLM? Have seen this popping up at local business networking events in my area and it looks suss!
