Dodgy MLM sponsored and endorsed by Mumsnet?

[YouOKHun]

These adverts are popping up all over MN at the moment. I thought MN didn’t tolerate MLM? Utility Warehouse is distinctly consumer unfriendly and
uses a business model that is cheap for the parent company but often disastrous for those coerced into signing up. Rife with miss-selling and pressure selling to vulnerable people.

Its a disgusting mlm - which pushes buy ups in over saturated areas, and these should be banned - and definitely NOT endorsed, or promoted by MN

Thanks YouOKHun - just letting you know that we're looking into this.

Thanks @JoMumsnet

This is VERY disappointing MN.

Still being enticed by Mumsnet to sign up to Utility Warehouse. Here is the first of today’s adverts. What will it be tomorrow? Forever Living? Amway? The Moonies?

Thanks for raising this. Although this campaign was booked in advance and has a couple of weeks left to run, we’ve taken the concerns raised here seriously. Having reviewed things, we won’t be running campaigns from this advertiser again in future.

@BeckyAMumsnet thanks for responding. It really isn’t a good look for Mumsnet so I am glad you’re not going repeat this tie up. Someone needs to explain to Ben Fogle that Utility Warehouse is distinctly dodgy (even if it’s lucrative for him personally). He wasn’t receptive last time I tried so it’s good to know Mumsnet is more receptive and recognises the problem with UW.
