This is definitely not an MLM scam. Herbalife has been around for a very long time with great results. MLM's are not scams. A long time ago there were MLM's that were based on how many people you signed up and that is how you made your money. But that was taken control of a long time ago. MLM's now are based on if you actually sell anything. Like the insurance and real estate industry. They don't get paid unless they sell. I used Herbalife in the 90's and to this day it was the one product line that helped me. I think they were ahead of their time with cell activation products and the understanding of that and how important it is. There are lots of great MLM companies out there and they are not scams. It takes work just like any other sales job would to sell the product you are passionate about.
