[MLM Survivors Club] Re: Is World Ventures Travel an MLM? Help

If this is helpful at all, here's a link to the Dallas Better Business
Bureau that classifies WorldVentures as an MLM - and issues the usual
warnings- including stating that they do not have current information
because the company HAS NOT responded to their queries.

And I have a question for you. You mentioned in your first e-mail that
"You told her you had to research first". Is that you saying you had
to research to get into it yourself ? You don't need compelling
evidence to say NO. Or are you seeking compelling evidence to talk her
out of it ? If that is the case, its a bigger problem, and I will
defer to more experienced contributors to this forum.
