      I was referred to Melaleuca by one of their distributors whom posted an Income *Guarantee* on ******** to which I inquired how she could guarantee income (as a business owner I know that's against FTC Guidelines). She then sent me a Melaleuca presentation which talked about the % of adults whom are stressed about finances (fear tactic in my opinion) with zero sources cited to any evidence backing that data of course, and then the video proceeds to criticize "those MLM-things" while insisting Melaleuca is different, yet it utilizes a Multi-Level Business Structure and Downline Earnings, thus, it is an MLM. I also know from personal experience as a customer years ago that this ********************** makes it difficult to cancel your subscription (you have to check mark all the benefits you agree to losing, then print, fill, and mail the cancellation form, yet they don't require a tangible form to register for the membership of course). I know FTC is cracking down on MLM, for good reason in my opinion, and I genuinely hope they look into this company as well.
