IAM Worldwide Conclusion
IAM Worldwide is your typical product-based pyramid scheme.
Retail is feasible however extra of a advertising device when making an attempt to recruit individuals.
An “should you actually wished to you would promote these items” advertising angle if you’ll.
Outdoors of single-level commissions tied to reselling bought product, that’s it for retail. The remainder of IAM Worldwide’s compensation plan pays on recruitment.
And naturally all of the hallmarks of an MLM pyramid scheme are current.
You have got pay-to-play (aka spend extra to earn extra):
And defacto necessary month-to-month purchases:
When recruitment is the first driver of product gross sales, the merchandise don’t matter.
That’s not the case right here. Not as a result of IAM Worldwide’s merchandise are retail viable, however due to the outrageous medical claims the corporate and its associates make.
Significantly, you’ve acquired “our merchandise deal with most cancers” claims proper on IAM Worldwide’s web site.
There may be not a single examine obtainable exhibiting IAM Worldwide’s merchandise have any medical advantages in any way.
As a substitute it’s the all too acquainted “ingredient X does this, due to this fact our processed product containing X does that too!” components:
Barley helps treatment and stop allergy symptoms. It additionally aids the physique to combat off colds and flu.
Each time I see medical claims made by MLM corporations as of late I verify for the compulsory COVID-19 advertising.
Positive sufficient…
And that is all simply what’s out within the open. Who is aware of what claims are being made behind closed doorways.
IAM Worldwide associates publicly market the corporate’s merchandise as being “FDA permitted”.
I don’t know why the Philippine FDA hasn’t taken motion but. It’s seemingly lengthy overdue.
With a pyramid scheme enterprise mannequin and merchandise marketed on full malarkey, IAM Worldwide is about as dishonest as an MLM enterprise alternative as you will get.
