Excuse me, is Meiluo International a pyramid scheme?

By the end of February, 20 19 and 18, no relevant departments had clearly pointed out that Luomei International was a pyramid scheme, but Luomei International still did not rule out the suspicion of pyramid schemes.

The following is the People's Daily report on its alleged pyramid scheme:

Luomei International has been operating as a "quasi-direct selling" enterprise. 20 12 September, a well-known domestic media reported that Luomei International had been "lurking" without obtaining a direct selling license, and its direct selling activities touched the legal bottom line everywhere. Many specialty stores in Foshan were investigated for illegal direct selling. When the industrial and commercial department of Foshan inspected three specialty stores in Chancheng District, it was found that these specialty stores did not even apply for business licenses.

In order to find out the truth, the investigative reporter once participated in an "investment promotion meeting" of Luomei International in Foshan as an investor. At the meeting, a man who claimed to be Ceng Wei said that he was the head of Foshan and introduced the most advanced marketing model in the world today.

Ceng Wei said that newcomers can become lifelong members by paying 30,000 yuan for a gold card and get products worth 30,000 yuan. After becoming a member, as long as you continue to develop offline, you can enjoy various rewards: one is the 10% sharing prize, that is, each person can share 3000 yuan; Second, the 15% expansion award encourages people to go offline to explore markets in other places; The third is the 2%-4% service award, which is a special reward returned by senior leaders.

China's "MLM Prohibition Regulations" stipulates that operators charge a high entry fee, and through the development of personnel, they ask the developed personnel to develop other personnel to join, forming an online and offline relationship, and calculating and paying online rewards according to the offline sales performance to seek illegal benefits. This is MLM.

Looking at the sales model of Guangdong Luomei International, it is obvious that there is a pyramid scheme of "attracting people" and "paying by team". In addition, Article 10 of the Regulations on the Administration of Direct Selling issued by the State Council also stipulates that direct selling enterprises must set up branches (hereinafter referred to as branches) in provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government that intend to engage in direct selling activities.

That is to say, even if Luomei International has obtained the qualification of direct selling now, it can only engage in direct selling activities in some areas of Jilin Province. Any cross-regional direct selling activities are illegal, not to mention its illegal direct selling activities in Guangdong and other places during the period of not obtaining the direct selling license. According to industry insiders, Luomei International's performance is suspected of touching the legal bottom line and is suspected of pyramid schemes.
