Multi-level marketing (MLM) is a direct sales strategy some companies use to encourage existing distributors to recruit new ones, offering them a percentage of their recruits' sales. It's a legitimate pyramid scheme. What separates it from the illegal ones is that distributors can make money not only through getting people to enroll into the program but by selling products as well.
However, regardless of legal status, a lot of people have lost money after they got into MLM—even for those companies who are considered legit, the bulk of the profits come from recruiting new members. This was covered well in this segment of HBO's Last Week Tonight with John Oliver.
Many huns (people who shill products/services for an MLM; the sellers have a tendency to frequently use the word 'hun' when initiating a sales pitch) are often trying to take their operations online, bombarding their contacts with obnoxious "get rich fast" proposals. So in an attempt to counter them and "stop MLM schemes from draining our friends dry", the subreddit r/antiMLM is trying to highlight just how ridiculous they can be. Continue scrolling and check out some of the most popular posts from the sub.

Some essential oils can have medically proven beneficial properties, like helping you relax and to an extent relieving headaches. However, if the oil in question is from an MLM it will have the property of removing money from your wallet.

Oh, yes. We had an MLMer infiltrate PTSD peer group. That lasted about five minutes. They came in with their (company name) bag, and two of us said, "Did you buy it or are you selling for it?" They said "Both" and we two (the group 'moderators') said, "Door. Leave. Now. Or else. Good-bye." We were treated to some vile language, a promise of going to hell, and off the person stomped.

Good on you x 1000! How dare they blatantly attempt to target people who are already vulnerable in some fashion, at least in their eyes, and actively push them away from the correct help!! I saw on this post another bit with advice on saving urself with oils if you suffer spousal abuse: I didn't know anything could make me so angry so fast (I've been through domestic abuse for context). I'm glad your group has level headed monitors such as yourself!

2 things that led to the explosion of MLMs: Social media, and the desperation brought on by the fact that wages haven’t kept up with inflation or production. Just straight up. The “Huns” wouldn’t need to do this if they weren’t desperate for any way out of the hell they live in. The fact that most of them are moms is telling too.
Leo Domitrix 3 years ago
Going off the idea that new mums and stay-home mums need the work/etc. ... and often do, alas. But men do get targeted. Mancavecrafts was one. Vemma, I think. And I've seen guys sell Amway. The sad fact is, people assume direct sales works best on men, but scams work best on women, as if Bernie Madoff and all that didn't prove anyone is a sucker.

I had a friend who fell for this. Some kind of detox/fasting program. She had just had her first child and had lost her regular job. She bought all the starters kit, I think some 600 euros, advertised how including this "company" was, probably sold some products, said it was an investment bla bla. She's not doing it anymore now (2 years after). I kind of feel sorry for her, they took advantage of her vulnerability at the time, though she should have known better.

Essential oils essentially smell nice - that's all they do. Now, I will point out that a certain combination of lavender and jasmine does help me sleep, but that's entirely psychosomatic - it triggers a memory of the blanket my nan used to wrap me in when I was little. But unless your grandma also used lavender soap and grew jasmine in the garden where the laundry was hung to dry, it's highly unlikely that you would get even a smidgen of the same effect.

Before the internet warned us of these things, I had a college business professor who tried to get me into Melaleuca. I had never heard of pyramid schemes or MLM. I signed up so I could buy some of the products and the program wanted me to buy a set amount of product every month and I still cannot fathom how a BUSINESS PROFESSOR at the college level thought a broke college student trying to just survive had any business in this program. Had I realized then what I know now, I probably would have complained to his superiors about it. It was wildly inappropriate.

It has recently come to light that one of the greatest pyramid schemes of all time was the "Stop the Steal" campaign which was actively stealing money from its donors. When people made donation they had to seek out, though many lines of type, much in all caps, to box to "Opt out" of repeated donations and surrendered the right to set the frequency of the donations. This led to the Tangerine Toddler's minions setting up weekly auto-pay donations that drained people's bank accounts. The RNC and tRump organizations have so far had to repay over $65,000,000. Only about 20% of what was collected was spent on the legal battle, the rest went into their coffers to spend as they wish.

Years ago I was coming home on the train one night when I overheard a conversation between two men in the facing seats. One was saying that since his brother started selling Amway, he'd cut him (train man) out of his life because Amway told bro to remove all "negative" people from his life. Who did they define as negative? Why people who refuse to sell Amway, of course! MLMs really are cults.

Schools needs to teach how no not be scammed ie what a pyramid scheme is etc, how to pay taxes (for USA etc where it's done by the citizens), how to figure a monthly budget with hypothetical outgoings and an unexpected cost near the end of the month, etc. Things we need to know, but many never get explained to them. It's such an important part of knowing how to manage your adult life, and school is supposed to prepare you for today's world not the old world of "learn a skill/get a degree, then get a job for life". Those days are long gone.

I've had people try to get me to sign up for some kind of aloe Vera juice that they claimed helps with a chronic bowel problem I have. Aloe juice is a known irritant and at best would have made me very sick and at worse could have hospitalised me and left me requiring further surgery. Please do your research, and if you are in any doubt don't ingest anything without checking with your doctor. These companies really don't care if they make you ill as long as they push product onto you and sign you up.

I hate how they've ruined essential oils. Essential oils can be useful if they are handled properly with the awareness that they are dangerous chemicals. Now if you try to discuss or online research proper culinary use of essential oils, or their use in scented soaps and candles (which can be a fun hobby/activity), you run into people who want to ingest it and put it on their skin undiluted instead of seeking medical care.

It took me decades (literally) and many MLMs to realize that they are in fact just "legal" scams. I mean that sincerely. Each one convinces you it's somehow different, and that by giving them thousands and thousands of dollars a month for training and excessive products you cannot afford, and by alienating all your friends, you will somehow make money. Only the founders get rich, along with a few people who hit the lucky sales motherloads. Most "successful" members are, in fact, losing money, due of all the product they must buy. What really got me, however, was the "nutracuticals". Through ongoing medical research, I realized so much of it was not only BS, but life-threatening in the hands of eager salespeople. Often the "data" they use leaves out vital information - like those undissolved pills in the gut being designed to stay intact as carriers through the gut, or have not completed their journey and fully dissolved. Put that money in a bank instead - you'll come ahead.

A few years ago I applied for a job that sounded promising. I had to drive halfway across town. A bunch of people were signed in, and we watched a video in which (alleged) employees yapped on and on and on and on about how badly they were doing before they came on board this company. This went on for 15-20 minutes. I was about ready to yell "Cut to the chase!" or "Meanwhile, back at the ranch." I managed to sneak out on the pretense of hitting the head.
