Re: [MLM Survivors Club] Ad Hominem

ANYONE can be a victim. They prey on emotion which has nothing to
do with education. I am educated (Bachelor's degree), always above
average grades, plenty of common sense, earned my Paralegal
certificate, make a decent average salary, two-income household,
didn't have kids at the time.

For me it was the desire to have kids and be able to stay home. It
was also the desire to own a house in a decent neighborhood. It
also was a desire to travel since I hadn't gone on vacation in
several years. It was all of those types of things. The MLM's
focus on those basic desires and tout the word "dream" all over the
place. "Dreams come true" "dream job" "acheive your dreams". Then
one day those dreams turn to nighmares when you find yourself
bankrupt, homeless divorced and/or friendless because you drove them
all away in persuit of the "dream".

So when you attack MLMs to someone who is in one, they take it so
personally because the MLM recruiters made it all about their
personal dreams. Joining an MLM is always about emotion and never
about sound business decision-making.
