Do you believe Multi level Marketing should be illegal?

People who are into those MLM's tend to try to get their friends to join, or to purchase their products. Often it gets to the point where the friendship is contingent on whether or not you join or use the products.
A funny side note. I used to work with a guy who we suspected was into an MLM. This particular MLM, I had heard that at the end of their meetings, they all hold hands and sing "God Bless America". One day at work, he was going around humming the tune to "God Bless America"... That pretty much confirmed it... LOL
Did the weird MLM guy try to get you to join in his MLM cult?
Actually no because I don't think he wanted to talk about it at work. However I have had a few other people over the years approach me with that. I just tell them right off that it wouldn't be for me. Yeah cult sounds about like it too.
@alwayreckles93 So in the area where you live, these MLM people were going up to customers in stores trying to recruit them? That takes a lot of nerve for them to go up to people while they are shopping. That is just plain weird.
Yes very strange they would say complements at first like Oh like your shoes start a conversation out of the blue. No stranger is going to come up to someone and want to be friends. I sure anything can happen in life but to have five people dressed up in business wear suit wanting to be friends their is something fishy
Did you notice your coworker having a stranger weird behavior compare to your other coworkers?
@alwayreckles93 Actually I DID notice that he had some strange behavior. Funny that you'd ask. My other coworker noticed it also. I recall the other coworker asking one day, "Do you get the impression that he is involved with 'MLM'?" (I left off the name.) I laughed and said that I DID get the impression.
Actually now that you mention it, more recently, I did have a coworker about 5 years ago who said that a lady struck up a conversation with her in public somewhere. She told her that she felt like she would have the personality to become a salesperson for certain financial services. I had never heard of this before and I looked it up, and that was affiliated with one of the big MLM outfits. She never returned that lady's phone calls after that... LOL
Target did banned MLM's recruiters once customers complain about that issue.
The guy give MLM'S vibes yeah you can tell right away. They go to this so called business session get brain wash not surprised your coworker probably brag about retiring soon and being financially free.
Yes she should avoid that lady at all cost. The the thing with MLM people they think everyone else the problem except them.
MLM people shame people who go or went to college or have Degrees or working full time jobs. I don't understand MLM people they have that same strange behavior like the weirdo coworker that you mentioned was involve in MLM. Let me guess he was involve in Amway I called it scamway lol
LOL Yeah he DID mention going to a so called "business meeting" on occasion. And yes it was the MLM that you mention.
Another case... I was at my 20th high school reunion and I ran into a guy who I barely knew. I remembered running into him at the 10 year reunion also. So I was just talking to see what he was up to, etc, and he offered to exchange phone numbers. I thought this was friendly of him since I hardly knew him.
Then he calls one evening at 10 PM, and I thought it was just him being friendly. Turns out he was giving me a pitch to get into MLM. I told him I was doing very well with my career and I didn't need the extra money.
Oh, the guy at work though, he never tried to recruit anyone at work thankfully.
Yeah
Here in the UK some are illegal including Amway
You are so lucky , I didn't know Amway was illegal in other Countries. Good to hear 😊
It can be because it’s usually a pyramid scheme, which is a crime.
You see here is the thing if the downline makes a $500 order weekly the upline gets cash which it is a pyramid scheme. Yes you are right it is all pymered scheme. If the downline does not make any orders drying the week then the upline gets very passive aggressive I guess I should say because the uplines act way worst then a boss.

Unfortunately many of them operate within the law just barely.
If anything basic worker rights need improvements because these scams only thrive when there are desperate people.
They should be illegal and shut down.
Yes I agree, Amway is it a nightmare cult.
I think so based off what I know about it.
One should never fall for such business models.
Yeah. It’s a scam.
Should be banned
No bitch u r just fucking lazy!
