Multi-level marketing companies are legal although structured almost exactly like a pyramid scheme. A pyramid scheme is a non-sustainable business that involves the exchange of money, usually in the form of a sign-up fee, and usually has no product or service.

 

Some major indicators of a pyramid scheme in multi-level marketing are:

 

1) Focus on recruitment of new people rather than product sales
2) Claims of making money through growing a downline rather than your own product sales
3) Asking distributors to purchase expensive inventory
4) Asking you to sign a contract or pay money before you have time to read all of the paperwork
5) Products that may serve as a cover for recruitment

 

The ongoing debate is whether these companies and programs are legitimate business opportunities.
