Re: The FTC Letters
In this episode, Emma and Francine discuss what the Federal Trade Commision is and why they recently sent letters to many multi-level marketing companies. Emma realizes she forgot about an MLM that she joined while in Lularoe and Francine discovers there is a water MLM. Dishonorable mentions include quotes from the FTC letters involving health and wealth claims. They wrap up with some chat about how MLM involvement can hurt your chances of joining the workforce after you’ve left and give some tips on how to manage this issue.
