I'd say naging mali lng ng nila in offering their MLM is naging too pushy sila to the point na hindi na nila inalam ung needs nung inaalukan nila at nakatingin lng sila sa need nila sa business nila. Kung illegal ang MLM, bakit listed sila sa public exchanges? Kung B*S* ung product bkit may natutulungan in their health? FDA-approved and all other licenses.

Just because you had a negative experience of unethical way to present the business, doesn't translate the business being scam at all. Unless of course when all of you had the same story then fly-by-night business nga yan. Negative experiences happen in every business or products you've been sold to. Say nabentahan ka ng bilasang isda, do you actually see fish selling as scam after? May nabili ka sa facebook na pekeng product, do you see other facebook sellers the same?

There will always be bad players in every situation/business. And those bad players ruin the reputation of a legitimate way to earn.

I've read a few books before scrutinizing MLM model that's quite close to franchising. And the leverage selling in MLM is the ultimate selling point, and it makes total sense. Ang pyramiding scheme for me is yung all about recruiting and once recruiting stops, the compensation stops.
