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.

Roomie is jumping on the Marie Curie pamper sessions bandwagon and offering to take her goodies along.

She says she'll donate any profits. She doesn't mention how the CCs benefit her or how the gathering of a room full of women will give her a captive audience to try and recruit.

Shame on these bots.

Oops X'd posts there.

I blame my slow Internet in the garden

Well done that poster!

Looks like Broke might be preparing to jump ship again.....

Thé charity angle is not a new one, but it is one that had been toned down for a while. It is probably a sign of desperation.

I think it was earlier in this thread that I detailed how my OH was encouraged to set up stalls 'for charitable purposes' in exchange for handing 100% if her profits to the charity.

What she was told was that it would 'raise her profile' locally. What FL and her upline of course did not mention is that they would still be taking their full cut while she worked for free.

(Of course , as soon as she finally managed to recruit someone, she had her doing the stalls instead...)

I'm just doing a new Fred highlighting the charity scamming angle. I'm going to put the screenshots i've got as it seems we've all got a lot to say about it, none of it good.

When fred 41 is nearing the end I think we should discuss the new thread in advance as I feel it isn't fair on the community here that I keep making the freds. Someone may have the most awesomest idea for the start of a fred in the history of freds and hasn't had the opportunity to start one.

Maybe if we start discussing it around post 925 or something like that. It's not fair on others that I keep starting the freds and others aren't getting the chance to do their ideas.
