For christ's sake, in the past I've had to bin two idiots from facebook already for pushing "Forever Living" MLM crap everywhere and pestering everyone to be "business owners". Now there's another one who's signed up.
These things appear to be thinly-disguised pyramid schemes, how are they still roping people in these days?

MLM? All that means to me is Middle Lane Motorists?
Sorry, multi-level marketing, it's this rubbish where you push crap products to your friends and family, but make most of the money by recruiting some of them to sell more crap to their friends, and so on. 
Pyramid selling?
My wife's Auntie and Uncle have been involved with Amway for years.
We got invited to a talk (recruitment drive) by them when we first met.
Can't believe some people believe all that bull s
t and are prepared to use their friends in that way.
After hearing all the crap about how much the speaker made in the last year and the houses he owned etc.. I asked what the drop out rate was for new starters within the first year.
Surprisingly he declined to answer but my wife's Uncle later said it was approx. 80%! over 90% after 2 years!
We didn't sign up.

I have someone on my Facebook who does forever living. Friend of a friend but it's quite amusing.
She posted recently - Look how much money I've made.
Someone asked, is that Net, gross or takings? She could really answer or didn't understand and it took some questioning to find out it was takings.
