Geometric multiplication, right? Haha, this sales model is a pyramid scheme. You can read Article 224 5 of the Criminal Law carefully.
Today’s MLM does not control personal freedom, but it uses brainwashing to control thoughts and payment to control your behavior!
To see if it is a pyramid scheme, you mainly need to look at two points:
1. Does it require you to invest money to buy products and then develop them offline? To put it bluntly, it means getting relatives, friends or others to buy their company's products. Some even just pay money but don't have any products at all. While you receive commissions from your relatives and friends, your relatives and friends will become your downlines and help you develop your downlines! (This article is the essence of MLM! Take classes, pay money, get offline, and get commissions)
2. Does the company promote any corporate culture concepts, high-quality product culture, and attend classes every week, etc.? The format of the class can be lectures by lecturers, sharing by students, or publicity that as long as you become a senior manager in the company, you can participate in the company's top activities or earn millions or tens of millions, etc. to stimulate you. Use it to make money. Desire controls your mind and tells you that everyone can do it and you only need to develop three or five friends as downlines. One of the students shared that this highly involved form of brainwashing is very powerful, and using the desire to make money to control stimulation is even more powerful. Some companies even promote national policies or religious ideas to brainwash you, etc.
If what you come into contact with meets the above two points, it is a pyramid scheme.
If you come into contact with a pyramid scheme, you must respond to the commerce department, public security department, local media and central media in a timely manner! At the same time, notify your relatives and friends to let them know!
How many MLM refugees have MLM created!
The MLM economic cult is fiercer than a tiger!
It is everyone’s responsibility to combat pyramid schemes!
