“MLMs (Multi-Level Marketing).”

“They prey on insecure women, specifically army wives, to give in. It’s almost like a cult as they guarantee new friends, lots of free trips, and make $20,000 a month.

Most sales from those companies are from the salesperson who is buying it to sell it, and they tell you that you have to buy more to sell more.
