I think most MLM's are/can be shady. I personally don't think I could ever do anything with an MLM except be scammed by it :sad: However, seeing first hand the success that my wife is enjoying with Mary Kay WITHOUT being sneaky, shady or dishonest in any way, it makes me sad that her experience is generally lumped into the same category as all MLM's. :mad: It is like some version of prejudice. I myself am guilty of it. I almost never give people with an MLM presentation even the time of day. I know they are not ALL bad, but I just don't want to hear it. It is an interesting catch 22 - eh? jb Those are some pretty busy girls (if so) :shock:

"detailed advice about scams and fraud" Otherwise where would I have come up with the masterpiece offer of my Monavie, Osama-hunting, Ron Paul supporting, Ocean View Cave Dwelling, meteorite/star/moon ownership offer? By the way, although I am scared to actualy click on it, I wonder if the "I was scammed 37 times" guy was also trapped in the Home Depot scam? It seems like that scam is MOST effective at repeat business :oops: Nice to know that so many Americans are still gullible! I love that "business opportunities" is listed as a scam! I assume they mean fraudulent or misleading business opportunities. Most 'real' business opportunities are self-initiated. Imagine someone creating a business opportunity for themselves... say opening a clothing store featuring hot new trends. They fail and then cry "scam"!?! jb That is why I am here! “detailed advice about scams and fraud”
