Episode 345 : FTC v Amare
2d ago01:11:47Tap to summarizeAnother MLM is in hot water again with the FTC! This time it's Amare Global Holdings Inc. for alleged health and incomes claims! So Mr. F and I did what we do best when MLMs are accused of something we definitely know they did... we decided to prove it. All of the pieces of evidence presented in today's episode were found the day after this press release was dropped, leading me to believe that no one truly knows what's going over over at Amare on any given day.Show NotesSources used for evidence are being kept confidential due to the nature of legal proceedings and hun's who dirty delete.

Apr 2601:01:14Tap to summarizeThis episode started off as a bit of MLM News I was planning to mention in the next episodes housekeeping. I hadn't heard too much about Sipology, but as I started to gather information to share about it's closing, I began learning about a much more interesting story; the Rise and Fall of the little Canadian Tea MLM that could.

Transcribe →Episode 339 : TronPool
Apr 1601:06:53Tap to summarizeWhile in the middle of a Patreon live chat, I was sent a link to an article on Behind MLM about an alleged AI Generated Crypto Adjacent Pyramid Scheme making the rounds. At first, I was just trying to understand how it worked and how Crypto was involved, if at all. But after days of reading blog posts and watching AI slop disguised as training videos, I sat Mr. F down to make sense of it all; what we found opened up more questions than answers in a scammer's paradise ripe for the picking. Plus, housekeeping about Forever Living closing down their US market.Show NotesForever Living Terminates US MLM OpportunityBehind MLM TronPool ReviewFrank Bauer's TronPool ReviewTronPool's AppTronPool AI Recruitment VideoTronPool AI Business OverviewThe Influence ContinuumOut of MLMThe BITE ModelLAMLM Book ClubMLM DupesHow can you help?MLM ChangeReport FraudTruth in AdvertisingReport to your state Attorney General's office!Not in the U.S.?

Apr 501:15:33Tap to summarizeIn our travels around Southern California, Mr. F and I run into a lot of interesting places, and Ontario has been no exception! Not only is it the home of Chick Publications who make those delightful little tracts we sometimes read, but it's also home to the MLM Vida Divina, which I had never heard of until now. I cannot tell you how many times we've randomly driven past their building and never truly noticed it until one day we both saw it for what it was; culty and out of place. Obviously, we had to find out more, and while this is our first dive into the company and it's cohorts, it definitely won't be the last.Show NotesVida DivinaVida Divina Acquires GovviFDA Issues re: GovviVida Divina Acquires MialeMLM Gurur/antiMLM : I found the MLM GuruThe Influence ContinuumOut of MLMThe BITE ModelLAMLM Book ClubMLM DupesHow can you help?MLM ChangeReport FraudTruth in AdvertisingReport to your state Attorney General's office!Not in the U.S.?

Feb 1501:09:33Tap to summarizeAfter hearing about the MLM merger between It Works!
