Clearing Up The Confusion With At Home Businesses
Occasionally we come across people who believe that Scentsy is a pyramid scheme. We wanted to clear this up, we often
hear that: “if you have to recruit a down-line” that this is considered a pyramid scheme. This is not the truth, this is call network marketing. Network marketing is a legitimate business activity, while pyramid selling is not.
Pyramid Schemes(or Ponzi schemes) encourage and reward people for recruiting when there is little or no value in the products and services. They are illegal because they entice the unwary, unwitting, and unwise into a scheme that will most likely lose them money. -Mary Christensen
Any scheme that encourages participants to buy large amount of product (called front end loading), which usually end up in basements and garages unsold, is considered a pyramid.
Pyramid Schemes tempt greedy, lazy and naive people with high commissions and bonuses which is often based on how much product is bought at the entry level….if it seems to good to be true, it probably is.
