Multilevel Marketing and the Rise of 'Anti-MLM' YouTube - The Atlantic

Image
For decades, multilevel-marketing companies had it easy. Cutco knives, Tupperware containers, and Pampered Chef bread mixes were inoffensive products sold at weeknight wine parties and, later, in themed Facebook groups. For the most part, they were an unremarkable part of women's lives. Multilevel marketing—a form of direct selling in which a major chunk of a person's income comes not from the sales they make themselves but from the sales made by people they recruit into the company—was often regarded as exploitative by consumer advocates, but it rarely encountered a serious threat. During the pandemic, distributors for many MLM companies have used this lack of pushback to their advantage: On Instagram and Facebook, women have tried to persuade their followers to use their stimulus checks to join a company that sells shampoo or weight-loss products. They have used economic collapse as a recruitment tool, offering MLMs as the solution to lost income and increased precarity. For ...

Social media investment scams seek to take advantage of Black Americans hurt by COVID-19 | Opinion - Commercial Appeal

The mechanics vary slightly, but the basic premise of these scams is that if you invest money in the program, you'll get a lot more back while also bringing good fortune to others you recruit.

Actor Allison Mack Begins 3-Year Sentence At Dublin Prison - Patch.com

Image
DUBLIN, CA — Former "Smallville" actor Allison Mack began this week a three-year prison sentence at Dublin's Federal Correctional Institution, NBC New York reported. Mack began her sentence early Monday at the low-security facility that houses 726 women after pleading guilty this summer to racketeering conspiracy and racketeering for her role in cultlike group Nxivm (pronounced nex-i-um). Nxivm purported to offer a mentorship group for women, according to CNN and a statement from the U.S. Attorney's Office. Instead, women were exploited sexually and for labor, prosecutors alleged at the time of Mack's arrest in 2018. The Albany-based organization had centers in Mexico, Canada and South America and resembled a pyramid scheme, prosecutors said. Each course cost thousands of dollars and members were encouraged to buy more classes and recruit other people to climb the ladder, prosecutors said.

Allen Stanford's Ponzi scheme recovery tops $1 billion - Reuters

Image
Allen Stanford smiles as he waits to enter the Federal Courthouse in Houston March 6, 2012. REUTERS/Richard Carson/File Photo Sept 20 (Reuters) - A court-appointed receiver has recouped more than $1 billion for victims of Texas financier Allen Stanford's Ponzi scheme, the largest by dollar amount other than Bernard Madoff's fraud, the receiver's lawyers said on Monday. The threshold was crossed when Ralph Janvey, the receiver for Stanford Financial Group, received $65 million from a June 2016 settlement with insurers including Lloyd's of London, which won final court approval in January after years of litigation. Janvey expects to distribute money from the settlement in the first quarter of 2022. As of April 29, he had received court approval to distribute about $550 million, and had distributed $443 million. Once considered a billionaire but later declared indigent, Stanford, 71, is serving a 110-year prison sentence following his 2012 conviction for running a $7.2 bi...

Ponzi vs. Pyramid Scheme: What's the Difference? - AARP

Image
En español | Ponzi and pyramid schemes are different types of large-scale investment fraud, but they are linked by a key common characteristic. In both, crooks promise participants gigantic profits from a supposed can't-miss investment or business opportunity and sustain the illusion by luring more and more people into the scheme. Older Americans are among the most alluring targets, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) warns, because they've spent years amassing the savings scammers covet. Here how these schemes work. Ponzi schemes Ponzi schemes get their name from notorious 1920s swindler Charles Ponzi (although he may have gotten the idea from an earlier scammer, William Miller, who was nicknamed "520 Percent" for the exaggerated returns he ...

Hey MLMs: Quit F*cking With Women’s Mental Health - Scary Mommy

Image
Scary Mommy and Prostock-Studio/Getty If you're not living under a rock these days, someone you know has likely tried to get you to buy into their business. And when I say their business, I'm talking about an MLM. Full disclosure, I have never participated in an MLM. It's just not my jam. But if it is yours, no judgment, no shade– more power to you. The problem I have with MLMs is the predatory and misleading tactics they use to sell people a dream that's really more of a mirage.  We all knew MLMs were a cautionary tale when it came to finances and friendships before. But something else stuck out in a major way when I binge-watched the LuLaRoe documentary. Ironically, they lure women in with the promise of financial freedom, empowerment, and opportunity. But when things fall apart, it's because you didn't try hard enough.  It's your fault for not succeeding in a system that was never designed to have mor...
