not all mlm companies are bad, to be honest..

the rule of thumb before joining any of mlm companies:-

1. check their AJL license at DSAM website.
2. check thoroughly their background, do some research on company products, business plan etc before deciding to join the company.
3. joining fee should not be too exaggerating, ie (joining fee ribu-ribu, something is wrong somewhere)
4. beware of `too good to be true' statements, ie (join today, tomorrow get ribu-ribu income)
5. companies must be at least 5 years in operation (especially in m'sia)
6. the company must have products to sell or at least, have wide range of daily consumer goods / affordable health products, ie elken, amway, cni, shaklee, cosway, avon etc..

just my 2 cents..

a good read..but as i said, not all companies are downright the using the same scheme to dupe people..

most important is us, as users and consumers..equip ourselves with knowledge so that we know which are dupe companies, which aren't..

cheers~
