Terrance nobody but you mentioned Network marketing as being a scam, all that was mentioned was the desire not to scam people

My own personal opinions are

The vast majority of MLM or if you prefer Network Marketing opportunities fail to deliver adequate compensation for the number of hours worked.

Some are set-up purely to market their services on an ongoing basis to members...

Some are pure scams, designed to allow some people to make lots of money quickly before they close down

Some have overpriced products and services that people would be better off buying elsewhere at much reduced prices

Some have exactly what they say, they have products, services and if worked you can make some income.
My advise to anyone considering MLM/Network Marketing is to be careful, do your homework and expect to work long hard hours... nothing in life comes without hard work... not even success with MLM. I would also study a companies terms and conditions as some MLM companies have been known to cancel an active members membership rather than pay them their commission cheque.
