Have you ever seen signs on the road that say "Work from Home!", "Have a computer, put it to use!", or "I lost 30 pounds in 3 days!"? All of these signs are distributed by a conglomorate called Herbalife. The "diet programs" or "jobs from home" are simply elaborate ways to get you to put up more advertisements. People are privately paid money to sell Herbalife products. If this fails (which it most likely does), to make up their money, investors illegally put up Herbalife advertisements. Since they are "independent contractors", the Herbalife company can't get in trouble for it. People who see these ads then call the number, and the cycle repeats itself. The Herbalife company reaps thouands of dollars, and their advertising spreads across the entire country without every having to pay for any of it.
In short, it's the biggest, most elaborate, and most successful pyramid scheme in the country.

This is one of the creepiest stories I've read in a long time. Please spread the word.

You'd have to be an Idiot anyways to think you could make a decent Monthly Income by doing nothing anyways.

With that I could make fun of Americans, heeheehee. Well, this doesn't really conflict me seeing as how I live in Canada and we don't have those signs.

The fact it's a bull**** pyramid scheme, I took for granted, but that they were all from the same company, Scary.

It's kinda obvious it was a pyramid scheme, but not that it was all the same company.
