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

Thanks again for the advice. As you can see I am extremely
emotional about this because MLM has hit even closer to home. She
is not in too deep. She has just purchased their "agent card" or
whatever. I asked her, "if I could find things that were fishy,
would you listen to me?" She said yes. I hope she listens to
me,her sister in law, and my husband, her brother! She got
recruited by her husband's cousin. She told me "Nor said she is
making money, she just bought a new car" What questions should I
ask again? She wants to do the home business thing because she is a
new mom like me. I hope they try to get their money back. My
husband just told me that she said, that she is not paying anything
monthly and just wants to use it for travel discounts, and she gets
kickbacks if she refers people. Please give me the quetions to ask,
I feel so desperate to help her. My husband did say that the more
we tell her not to the more she will go for it. Please feed me the
questions!
