It is a good read.<br /><br />http://mlm-thetruth.com/shocking-stats-2/<br /><br />Here is the kicker. An illegal pyramid scheme has the decency to kick out the people at the top after a cycle and requires them to "re-invest" for another chance of making money. The legal product-based ones, keep the same greedy bastards at the top indefinitely, virtually assuring that any new entrant will fail. <br /><br />When you add the fact that the guys at the top have the ability to (and certainly will) adjust the compensation plan to their benefit, failure in any MLM is essentially guaranteed. <br /><br />The best defense against these oppressive aggressors is to ask them for a copy of their tax returns and PNL statement from their business. I have a new strategy when approached. I tell people if they will compare tax returns with me and show me that they are making more money than me, I will join their MLM business. This is no risk at all for anyone above the poverty line unless you are talking to a founder in an MLM who actually is one of the scammers at the top. In a handfull of these cases, they are bringing in quite a bit of money, but you can generally count on your hands and feet the number of people pulling in a lot of money in most companies.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2623443549536997676.post-47665300561026949452016-08-27T14:18:00.672-07:002016-08-27T14:18:00.672-07:00Thank you Anna for this blog it always makes me la...Thank you Anna for this blog it always makes me laugh.

Glad you're loving the blog. Yea...Hi Aninymous. Glad you're loving the blog. Yeah right from the start we figured out we had to entertain as well as educate to keep readers coming back. Cursing out Amway ambots and making fun of them is something that appears to be on the wish list of many. <br /><br />Interesting fact you have there that people have better chance of making money in an illegal pyramid scheme than in a legal one. Almost daily Amjerks stop by and screech that the FTC has ruled Amway isn't a pyramid scheme which is some lie they repeat from their Amway cult leaders which is how ambots do their research. The FTC website does list Amway as a pyramid scheme but as you say a legal pyramid scheme as opposed to illegal. Though many of the antics Amway and their ambots pull off can be illegal. They have. O proble,s scamming people out of money with their fraudulent claims of what their snake water does.<br /><br />Yup the Internet has helped people share information about being scammed in Amway and the emotional and financial distress this company and their evil cult leaders bring to others.

I keep up with this and one other blog and it is amazing the impact that it seems to be having.<br /><br />20 years ago information was nearly impossible to find in a timely fashion. Now I can compare rental properties available to me in Bali, or New Jersey at the drop of a hat.<br /><br />Good news is that the MLM scams are becoming known for what they are. People are becoming wise because of the true information about losses are becoming known. I have heard people claim that MLMs are the business model of the future. Let's hope that is not true or nearly everyone will be broke.<br /><br />I think it is funny how defenders of MLM claim that the are not illegal pyramids. Truth is they are much worse. Odds of making $$$ in an illegal pyramid scheme is a little over 12%. Odds of making money in a legal MLM is generally less than 1%.<br /><br />Keep up the good work. Hopefully people will wise up and quite wasting their money, time and relationships in this predatory scam. America would be much better off if people would invest in things where 99% don't lose their ass.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
