grack posted:The fact that people don't like MLM doesn't make them scams (though many are). MLM is a legal thing, yeah. The problem with it is that it's a highly inefficient method of bringing a product from producer to consumer (5-10 people each taking a cut does not make for great margins!), whereas it's a pretty simple method of adding a product changing hands to an illegal pyramid scheme, thereby making it legal (Not a lawyer and not sure if I'm getting it 100% right, but I believe that's the gist of it).

MLM schemes tend to focus heavily on the recruiting part (which is the pyramid scheme), while practically ignoring the selling of products (which is just there to make it legal). Also, they're not just using an army of lawyers to keep the MLM scheme within the boundaries of the law. Some (Amway/Quixtar in particular) have a huge political lobby behind them to keep the law from being altered to make their scheme illegal.

If you get an email from Official Institute about something, and the email has a link in it, and the link preview does not show officialinstitute.com (or the actual official site)(best to play it safe and not actually click it) then it is fake. Usually there's a bunch of other red flags with that. They really shoot for the bottom rung with that poo poo, usually. If you get an email about something and you're not immediately 100% sure it is a scam it is best to go to the official website by typing its address in to your browser's address bar, logging in, and seeing if there's any alerts or messages on the site itself.
