Scams Radar

The MLM Blacklist

You may earn excellent money in legitimate businesses and have a lot of fun with Network Marketing/Multi Level Marketing (MLM).

To train new partners and bring out the best in you, many network marketing professionals and leaders put forth their best effort.

Unfortunately, there are hardcore serial bad actors in every business.

Very smooth talkers who make a lot of claims about large returns on “investment.” They don’t care whether they are in a non-legitimate opportunity that will either fail or be removed by the local government.

When someone is often identified in pump and dump, Ponzi, or pyramid scams, they are added to this blacklist.

We believe that the bad actors are listed below. If they or one of their ring leaders approach you, RUN.

Please use the form below (found beneath the list) to propose an MLM blacklist candidate.
