This Is Not MLM Scam? Yes It Is In My Opinion.
Since MLM scams have developed such a bad name for themselves, marketers are taking advantage of the dislike of MLMs to sell money making opportunities. One money making opportunity is now named “This Is Not MLM”. My subscribers have requested that I take a look into the “This Is Not MLM” money making opportunity. Here is what I have found.

This Is Not MLM Scam Reality
The This Is Not MLM money making opportunity got started on it’s current website back in 2013: thisisnotmlm.com. It is run by Vic Hutchinson.
Here are two of the MLMs Vic Hutchinson currently has videos about on his YouTube channel:
- ViSalus
- Xango
I guess he does not have that much of a problem with MLMs.

Best of all I can show you how to use this tool to build in one of the fastest growing MLM companies in the world ViSalus. Our team is growing so fast.. Vic got the free BMW in 51 hours..

With This Is Not MLM you get access to video content as a bonus for joining the money making opportunity. You spend your time adding people on Facebook and recruiting them into the same scam you joined. They even provide you with a script to help you do this.
The purpose of this money making opportunity is to create an endless stream of people signing up for the program you signed up for. Each person that joins this recruiting scam spends their time convincing people to give them $25 weekly so that they can go out and get others to give them $25 weekly. Vic has the pleasure of collecting $25 per month from everyone that joins.
“Why would 20 people out of the blue possible strangers want to give you $25….cuz they get to do the same thing.” – Vic Hutchinson
This scam is an online version of the old envelope stuffing scheme that was run in the past.
Here’s what happens: once you send your money, you’re likely to get a letter telling you to get other people, even your friends and relatives, to buy the same envelope-stuffing “opportunity” or another product. The only way you can earn money is if people respond to your solicitations the same way you responded. – Source FTC
Another example of this type of scam is the Email Processing System Scam.

I’ve been an internet mktr for over 10 yrs so I speak from experience. The NotMLM program is NOT a scam. I have no personal allegiance to Vic other than being a member of NotMLM. Have been in this pgm for 3 months now and am successful with it, am also helping internet “newbies” as well.
The only way this pgm would be a scam is if it were only a money exchange, but there’s much more to it. Note point #6 “Software programs to help you with your Marketing.”
There ARE programs in the back office we can use and even re-sell. That comprises as a legitimate business.If there were no products it would be illegal and more of a “gifting” pgm – which it is not.
I understand Vic is a bit rough around the edges, but does have a heart to help people. He himself has been successful in the past and wants to help others to the same. That is a side not, the importance of my post is to refute that NotMLM is a scam. I DON’T “convince” anyone. I post, give the information, explain if there are questions and move on. “Convincing” people is NOT a professional way to conduct business online or offline. That is Sales 101. There is a right way and a wrong way.
I find your review inconclusive and misleading as you don’t talk about the back-end products which totally validifies this pgm.
Since I have many years of experience online – I would be the FIRST to shout from the mountaintop when a program is a scam – too many honest people have and are being burned by scams and I have a heart to help newbies avoid those pitfalls.
Not every (legit) program is the right fit for everyone, yet it it not the right reason to post misleading information just because it didn’t work for an individual. If you put the work and time in – it does work and it is legitimate.

He has been successful in the past in recruiting a large amount of people into a MLM and now he is recruiting a large amount of people into This Is Not MLM. Having some videos in the back office does not make this crap legitimate. I find it humorous that you bring up “gifting” programs, which this program is modeled after when it comes to how payments are handled.

Could you please check if Agora Online is a scam or not. They have different lots of products and dome of them as high as £997 and more to purchase.
Thanks.

I totally understand what you’re saying and appreciate you exposing scams! There could be some smoothing out in the way this program is fashioned, I would do things a bit differently. I still don’t see it as a scam 🙂

It’s cash gifting which is illegal the world over. How is it not a scam? He didn’t even make an effort on the model and amazingly charges $125 a month to its members!

Could you do a report on Front Row? They’re an MLM in the Philippines, and they show off their fancy cars to get their victims to think they’ll get rich too.

Thank you for your request. I will add Front Row to my list to look into.

There is only one rule everyone needs to remember. “Would I purchase this product or service and then continue to purchase it even if there was no business opportunity”?

There are so many rules to remember… Example I used in my sales trainer days: Never insist on what other people do that you do not do. Listeners and readers will wonder why you are more “interested in”/”obsessed by” what other people people are doing, and/or what you are not doing, than in what you are doing.
My contention was always that generating negative thoughts about your own activity is the best way to fail to secure new clients. It seems that “fraudible” people are so common on the web that even obvious common sense is no protection against determined fraudsters. Fraudsters only get sloppy and risk seeming negative when the victims are lined up so vulnerably that the fraudsters themselves don’t need to apply their own common sense. They take temporary leave of their senses, which they hope their targets will do, and, anyway, professional criminals quickly correct the error of their ways before too much is lost, which they know is virtually impossible for their targets, If their targets do take defensive or retaliatory action professional fraudsters move quickly on to another fraud, and/or another set of targets. Fraudsters are like emergency plumbers, emergency electricians and the like: only the most drastically ineffective are ever out of work. (With my apologies and my respect to all emergency breakdown repair specialists for incorporating them into a crude analogy. It was just too easy and illustrative for a dumb guy like me to avoid.)
Mocking the afflicted is generally unfair, facile, and pointless, sure, but someone has to reach out and pluck the rose-coloured spectacles from their eyes. I don’t have the skill and the tenacity to do it your way, Ethan. I hope my crude approach catches a few people who need a bit of tough love more than they need extremely rational references to safe everyday life and basic awareness and caution.
Internet fraud is now so common I fear people are becoming inured to it, unsympathetic to the victims and a little in awe of the criminals, but insufficiently aware that they could soon join the list of victims. And it all started just a short while ago when people suddenly became able to accept that an activity which involved no sales of items, values or rights could be called “trading”, and that a gamble with three possible outcomes could be called “binary”. Since those first brisk showers the heavens have really let loose on us. MLM, which existed before “binary/tertiary” “trading/gambling”, has taken an appalling leap forwards and is now, in my opinion, one of the darkest of a long list of crimes committed with almost no effective threat of retribution.
But then, I was a fraud investigator, paid to be sceptical and cynical. I got fed up with earning spin-off money from consumer fraud, (Fraud investigators earn nothing when their is no fraud to investigate. Every investigation started with another bunch of decent folk who had lost far more than they could ever afford to lose), and went back to my roots in corporate fraud, where the fraudsters navigate waters that are similarly murky but far, far deeper. And far more dangerous, but that is a long and useless tale…

Visalus’s numbers have been in a tale spin for a couple of years now. Definitely a company to avoid.
