Did you find any more information regarding this? My boyfriend just decided to get involved with this company as well, and the first thing I thought was “scam”. Please let me know if you found any further information at mauri.cesare@gmail.com
Thanks!

I just went to an orientation for Metro Public Adjustment, Inc. where you get $450 after 6 hrs of training, 3 approved claims, and passing exam for Adjuster license in Md. Having a hard time telling if this is a legitimate MLM. Is anyone familiar with the company?

Not all mlm companies are bad. I belong to a new company – one24. I have only been in it two months and have made $125.00. Doesn’t sound like much, but it builds over 24 months. This is not a get rich quick scheme. The founder is the same man who brought out Herbalife. One 24 has a healthy drink called NatraBurst with 30+ superfoods in it. I drink it daily and have more energy than I have ever had. I like the company and the concept.

you hit the nail on the head. There are definitely more bad ones than good ones, but I also wanted to point out that they aren’t ALL illegal schemes.

Very nice job touching on the key issues with bad MLMs. When a product is marketed using MLM, there are really two things being marketed simultaneously. The product and the MLM opportunity itself. Unfortunately, when the product doesn’t work as advertised and provides no value to customers, the product still continues to be sold because the MLM opportunity can still be marketed effectively. This is the biggest problem with bad MLMs and I would say this makes them borderline (illegal) pyramid schemes. If a product is marketed using traditional marketing and it doesn’t work, people simply won’t buy it. However, the marketing of the MLM opportunity regardless of the validity of the product is what makes them so pervasive and persuasive.
