with us on the matter of multi-level marketing fraud. We have collated them for
you; check out →
● Companies engaged in a multi-level marketing (MLM) conduct direct sales
of their goods or services to consumers.
● An investor may also be referred to as a "distributor," "participant,"
"contractor," or "founder" if they sign up for a multi-level marketing
program.
● Fraudsters give you a guarantee that they will invest your money and
provide significant returns with no risk.
● After collecting from previous investors, they pay new investors and hold
most of the shares for themselves.

5. How Do Multi-Marketing Fraudsters Work?

6. ● Most MLM frauds have no real income and need constant funding to
remain in business. They disappear into thin air when it gets challenging
to attract new members.
● Promoters of MLM businesses make obscene claims regarding prospective
earnings.
● They employ alluring catchphrases like–
(a) Earn money only for signing up for the scheme.
(b) Earn Rs 50,000 a month working from home.
(c) You are in charge of your company.
(d) Do you wish to work from home and earn extra money?
(e) Enroll with us for long, prosperous life.

8. When asked about the fraud, Faisal Abidi shared that such fraudsters hide behind
the following operation tactics–
● A person is promised a commission regardless of the sale in pyramid
schemes with a vertical network expansion.
● Ponzi schemes don't include sales; instead, they involve laundering money
through a network of individuals.
● Within the pump and dump schemes, the fraudsters abruptly drop the
price after the victims have made a purchase.
● Exit frauds involve promoters who take money from victims before
vanishing and leaving them in the dark.

development.
