Index Of Scams
Here is an index of opportunities that are in my opinion scams.
Isagenix Sued Over Secret Deal To Sell On Amazon
Network marketing companies commonly keep their representatives from selling their products through online retailers like Amazon. This allows their representatives to have more of an opportunity to sell the products directly without being undercut by online sellers. When you check online sellers you will still see some network marketing company's products sold there. It would be a great advantage to have a deal that would allow you to be one of the few people to be allowed to sell a network marketing company's products online. You would have very little competition. In a recent lawsuit Bryan Lund and Scott Christensen are claiming that they had this opportunity with Isagenix.
