Hey Now! Nice to see ya again. Have you checked out my sister site, MLM Blog?
This is from an article about China cracking down on scams…
The lies told to perpetuate the schemes can be both outrageous and highly convincing, says Wang Hao, author of A Record of My Pyramid Sales Brainwashing, a book published in January.
“At classes, teachers would tell us that ‘Hillary Clinton became very rich working for Amway. China secretly supports our industry, as Amway is so successful earning Chinese people’s money. Our country wants us to be the No. 1,’ ” Wang says.
In 2007, Wang became a mid-level manager in the Heavenly Lion pyramid scheme in Zhejiang province. The operation was raided last month by police.
Wang Hao welcomes the crackdown but says more should be done.
“It’s not that hard to find pyramid sales, as these groups are large, and neighborhoods realize they are doing strange things,” he says. “But the victims must be given psychological support and help to find new jobs. They believe they can make money, and many will try to find another scheme,” he says.
