If you do not know what is Lampe Berger, it will cost you! If you don't know what MLM is, it will cost you too!
Lampe Berger is a household name for scented lamps, yes it sells aromatherapy to clean and purify air, and has supposedly been around since late 19th century. So if you have a lamp with this name on it and it's created more than 100 years ago, it won't be cheap. I've seen people buying a lamp that cost RM10k - 15k.
MLM stands for Multi Level Marketing. Trust me, this is the biggest scam. But I want to clarify one thing, lampe berger again is a name of the product, it did nothing wrong but the company who is selling it are using the MLM system is obiviously abusing the system and law in most countries. In a laymans term it's also called a Pyramid Scheme, which is illegal in most countries including Malaysia.
Even some aromatheraphy stuff may be value for money, and effective, a lot of MLM companies that try to sell in arommatheraphy do not offer competitive prices or market it to wrong market. Aromatheraphy products are known as "Oestantious" or luxury goods. Most such products are highly priced and without obvious beneficial value. No doubt i met people who impressed me with highly accredited proof, but I find it hard to believe and hard to afford.
Yes you will see people driving BMW & MERCs in MLM companies but if you observed carefully not all survive. The rich will be come richer and the poor will become poorer. In the end of the day only super saleman makes it.
Second point is that, aromatheraphy is an attractive product for disguised pyramid. Many do not know that a lot of the cost goes into the bottles, not the content. The stuff inside can be cheap, but some companies try to create branding by selling specially made crystal bottles, or uniquely designed container. Remember warnings of diguised pyramid pointing to products with no obvious beneficial value? Here is a good example, having little or no marketing at all of their products. With no obvious value, the cost can be low, much profits can be made. Not forgetting the target market now is young adults. Since the lamp is much for the rich, and most young adults can't afford to continually purchase. Its the maintaining part they probably have problems with. Thats why the need for continuous recruitment. This is why most people also point out why target them with lamp stuff, since there is problem in reconciling their income and the prices of the goods.
So, I found out that young adults are scamed into asking parents for asking for RM20k - 30k, just to book a rank in the MLM scheme and to see their returns of hundreds of thousands of dollars whereby we work like hell. There is no easy way out and people work their asses off just to earn a living. No easy picking in life.
