Still looking to talk to former Scentsy consultants!
Hi all! I am still looking for former Scentsy consultants to share their stories with me.
If you haven't seen one of my posts before, I am a PhD candidate in sociology. My dissertation is about multi-level marketing - how folks get in, what the work is really like, and what happens when people leave. I hope to produce work that helps us better understand how these organizations have such staying power.
If you or someone you know would be willing to talk to me for about an hour, please send a message.
Thank you!!

My mil was sucked into buying tons of scents products by her former DIL. Now she has a rare auto-immune disease.
Title should say SCENTSY. I’ve always hated these products. I am very sensitive and they give me instant migraines. Now she has a very rare auto-immune disease. When I researched it, one of the causes is exposure to toluenes and other chemicals… which obviously are in scentsy, candles and other scented products that she uses excessively.
She is also very stubborn. Any advice on how to get her to stop using these dangerous products? Her son is on board to help, but we need literal studies, clinical proof, doctor advice, etc…
She is truly feeling miserable, and this disease is going to end her life. She is in pain all the time, but she won’t give up on this crap and is being guilted into buying the stuff, even though this ex-DIL cheated on her dying son before he was gone and has been an all-around awful person…
She hasn’t been very nice to me over the years, but I feel for her husband and her son. And as someone who has lost both of my parents, I don’t want my fiancé to go through this any sooner than he has to- he already lost his older brother to leukemia (this horrible ex-SIL was married to the brother when he died).

Please tell me about NuSkin
I know someone who seems to have a lot of people under them while selling NuSkin. They just cannot stop talking about how much money they’re earning. They replaced their partner’s nursing income. They constantly post their paychecks with the numbers covered up, but you can see they’re likely at least over $1000. They go on allllll the rewards trips.
The thing that trips me up about NuSkin is that it doesn’t have any product you have to buy because of no monthly minimums. They don’t have to buy a start up kit. And, yes, I’ve looked at the income disclosure agreements so I see how many people make it to the top and what they really earn on average, but this person is definitely in the higher echelon of ranks. HOW? Does anyone understand their bonus structure? I know they say if it seems too good to be true then it’s probably not true, but in this case it seems true.

I fell for the scheme of marketing
In 2025 I was job searching and saw an ad for Lions business (turns out it’s fake) I got interviewed and hired with another girl that same day and we were promised in our contract our first paycheck would come via the mail.
After that they would help us set up our pay via our bank. We had a team meeting and heard this huge shpiel about how this company was from Arizona (no Lions business to be found in Arizona) and how they go on the best business trips and win these awards for the best sales people. We were selling att in target.
I had went several months without a paycheck and very furious and exhausted I confronted one of the managers and she just went “oops I was on vacation my bad” and we don’t send checks out in the mail gotta come get em from me . So for TWO WHOLE MONTHS she’d been sitting on my and my co workers money.
I was exhausted and tired of selling getting no money. I had went to a co workers night out and my co worker had pocketed money I didn’t have to lose to begin with from me without my permission. We were at a bar “celebrating “ the other manager getting his new g wagon (probably where all my checks were going) And the whole time the “managers” had been in a relationship they claim to have a hr department but there isn’t one. What they don’t know is after “letting me go “ I got my eye for an eye.

PLEASE HELP!!
Ok, so this is quite embarrassing, but I need help. I'm a college student right now back home for the summer. And I have quite literally nothing to do this summer, and my parents saw me "wasting time" and doing nothing at home. I tried applying for summer jobs but with no luck. Every single job I applied to, I was either rejected from or ghosted.
Then I heard about Vector Marketing from somewhere and decided to apply. I got an interview from them, and they were quick to accept me, which was odd. So I did my research and found out it was very sketchy and basically a big MLM/pyramid scheme. I showed all of this to my parents and told them I didn't want to accept the job. They didn't seem to care however, and said things like "It's better than wasting time at home" and "You'll at least learn something from it." I didn't have much of a choice and was basically forced to go.
When I went, the two days of training (unpaid btw) felt like a cult. It was so weird and basically just a whole bunch of yap about how successful they were from selling Cutco knives. They made us download an app, and here's where everything started to go even more downhill for me. They wanted us to sync our contacts with the app in order to run their whole pyramid scheme to find more recruits. I knew this was sketchy as hell and was ready just take my bags and leave the training room. However, I saw everyone else in the room was complying and syncing their contacts, so I decided to just go along and do it too for some reason. I asked the supervisors if my name would not be mentioned if they decided to contact these people, and they confirmed my name would not be mentioned as per my will.
After those two days of training, I told my parents that I just can't do this job anymore because of how uncomfortable I felt in the room. They said ok, and I texted the admin that I was quitting. I didn't get any response and didn't think much of it. However, the next day I get a text from someone saying "We are starting ask your contacts to join Vector Marketing." I'm freaking out now, and once again ask if my name is not being mentioned, and they said it wasn't.
However, 10 minutes later, my phone is blasting up with hundreds of texts from people from my contacts list asking me why they were texted from some random number about joining their team with a base pay of $35. And that's when I realized that I was lied to and my name was in fact being mentioned and used to recruit people from MY contacts list. Keep in mind they're contacting people that I barely know or haven't even talked to in years, saying that I was the one who referred them. The message everyone is getting is "Hi *contact name*, I work with *my name*. I asked if they know anyone who would be a good fit for our team and your name came up! The starting base pay is $35 and the schedules are super flexible. Would you be interested in hearing more?"
It's so awkward now because everyone that was contacted really thinks that I was the one who referred them to this job even though I didn't. And people think I'm a clown now too for falling for a pyramid scheme. This has been going on for a day of people just non stop texting me about why they were being contacted. This experience is ruining my reputation and my mental health too. I don't know what to do and have no idea how much longer this will be going on. Please need some advice.

Unsuccessful Huns
I saw a post from a hun about her
“business”. People who’ve bought into it are commenting that they’re not making sales, having no success, spending more money than they’re bringing in, etc. and I’m just sitting back shaking my head. Maybe someday people will wise up and realize if it sounds too good to be true, it most likely is!

Julia Ferjo, Entgiftung, Kangen
So it looks like my friend has fallen hook, line, and sinker for this "system." I've tried to show her that it's an MLM and she doesn't even deny that Kangen might be but then she says the way her "group" (which looks tied to Julia Ferjo) does it is different and they "run it like a business" (whatever that means) and that she is already a 2A without ever doing anything and has already made her initial investment back and more. She also says her mentors are making crazy money every month. I can't seem to find any info on this group's strategy to try and debunk it. Does anyone have any insight into what is happening there that sets it apart from just being a regular Kangen distributor?

Primerica - how to report a fraud?
I am in Ontario and a “friend” that I went to high school with is a Primerica representative. This friend lives a very lavish and fancy lifestyle, she always said it was because eof her success in Primerica… but I was wrong. I found out her husband is a fraud because he was recently arrested for fraud. How do I report this to Primerica?? will they even care? This friend is going around and hosting women in Primerica seminars acting like she is a leader when all along her husband is a fraud!

Just had someone try to talk to me about Amway at the craft store
Thanks to this sub, I saw it coming a mile away, lmao.
A young woman looking at a display next to me complimented my outfit and asked where I got my dress. I said thanks and told her…and she started asking what I do for work, do I see myself doing the same thing in 10-15 years, etc. My spidey senses started going off as soon as she asked about work.
Of course the next question was if I open to business options, and DING DING DING THERE IT IS! I told her firmly that I was not interested in whatever she was trying to rope me into, and she fucked off.
I let a store employee know, and gave a description, and he said he’d look for them (there was a man with her but he walked off right before she started talking to me) and ask them to leave. When I went to check out, he was letting the employees up front know what happened and to keep an eye out for people who fit the description.
Anyway. I’ve encountered Amway people before, but never a stranger in public like that. Very glad I knew what it was and could cut her off quickly.

Throwing an mlm/cult/scam bday party, looking for ideas.
Hey,
​
Growing up my religious mom and gramma and friends all sold avon/shaklee/pampered chef/partylite yada yada and I went to so many 'parties' that were just an excuse to sell crap. I decided to have my bday party theme be based on mlms and cults.
​
I'm thinking Tupperware and Scientology. I want people to have a shtick.
​
Looking for any ideas for party games or other ways to interact! My friend group goes all out for themes so I want as many opportunities for inspiration and hilarity as possible.
​
I'm going to be serving a special Kool Aid drink.
​
There's a stage at the venue so I was thinking people could do a pitch or something but I'm coming up empty on ideas of how to frame it.
​
The venue is a tiki bar, I was thinking I could sell timeshares in Florida on a beach that's corroding due to climate change - 'deals so hot the water's gotta rise to put them out'
​
Would love any other ideas!

My brother is deep in Amway, should I be concerned?
My brother is in his late 20s and has been doing Amway for a few years. My parents and I didn’t really understand but tried to be neutrally supportive, buying the vitamins since we take vitamins anyway, but also not going out of our ways to attend all the events. But the way he tries to contact my friends or ask me to tell my friends to come to his events have made me uncomfortable. He also always buys us Amway products for our birthdays or special events, which isn’t very thoughtful. I don’t want to tell him what to do, and my parents also know that if we flat out tell him not to do it he’ll just do it more, so we’ve been trying to stay neutral.
My main worry is that he is wasting his 20s going to all these conferences. He has never travelled with friends, all his vacation time is used on Anway. He has workshops almost every weekend and his whole life seems to revolve around Amway.
At this point telling him it’s a pyramid scheme and all that won’t get through him. He’s always been academically smart so we all thought he’d try it for a bit for fun and get out once he realized it’s a scam, but he’s getting deeper and deeper into it. Do we just let him be? If you were a former member who got out, what made you finally leave?

first mlm offer
This is my first post here so idk if people are even interested in this sort of thing, but i just got a new job at a food place near me. i don’t do much usually just clean, cash people out and serve food. for reference im 20 years old, a woman came in around the same age probably a few years older she was wearing a lot of dhgate or canal st nyc fakes of expensive brands, they were bad fakes so it was easy to tell (i do not care about designer things ive just always been taught to at least by the realistic fakes from nyc and not the shitty looking ones, we always get taken to the basement of some random store and they’re real leather) she asked for a few drinks so i was getting them ready for her and was going to cash her out when she stopped me and asked my name and age, i told her assuming she wanted to make friends or something. she then said “i’ll give you my instagram, i run my own business and you can too so let me know if you want to start making some real money” then proceeded to tell me our drinks were too expensive and got rid of one of them. it kind of just made me laugh and i told her it sounded like a pyramid scheme and walked away. she wasn’t very pleased but left anyways. maybe i am lucky my mom always educated me on not trusting those things and i have a financial advisor for a dad, maybe there are more convincing people out there but she was literally so clearly broke or at least not good with “all this money she was making”. just made me laugh and figured this was the place to tell.

Metabolic reset?!
My son invited a girl from his first grade class to his birthday party and the mom was pretty nice, seemed normal. She last minute invited us to a bbq recently which we couldn’t attend - again pretty normal. She followed me on Facebook, she clearly belongs to some kind of MLM. I just can’t figure out which one - it’s all about a metabolic reset and in her bio she’s an ✨entrepreneur ✨ and posts all your typical MLM type content. That’s fine, that’s her prerogative.
Well, tonight I get this very lengthy text bursting with obnoxious emojis inviting me to a “healthy park play date/parent metabolic reset convo” 😤
Obviously I’m not going, but does anyone know which one this might be? I don’t want to ask her anything bc I don’t want her to think I’m even remotely interested in any way, it’s just genuine curiosity.
Also, trying to figure out how to politely turn her down and shut this down for any future conversations (though I know these MLM type folk generally don’t take no for an answer😑)

Fake Forbes Quote from Bravenly hon.
“History shows that some of the greatest opportunities happen when a company enters a season of expansion. New markets, new products, growing demand, and growing teams. Momentum leaves clues, and growth creates possibilities that simply aren’t available in every season.” ~ Forbes
Obviously not from Forbes and given a fake attribution to make this generic statement more authoritative. You can tell because of the “season” talk which is very much Bravenly talk and “Momentum leaves clues..” is a Tony Roberts self help quote.
