This company sells a travel club business opportunity offer through a multi-level sales plan. Buyers pay $1295 for the entry level directors position. Once the initial fees are paid, buyers earn commissions by selling the same or similar packages to others.

We urge caution. Our experience with similar offers typically has been that earnings claims are exaggerated, affiliates are not paid as agreed, and the company fails to disclose total costs involved for website development, or purchasing up-line positions. To help you determine the real differences between a pyramid and a multi-level sales plan, consider the following. A legitimate multi level plan encourages successful distributors to recruit and train a sales force, but the distributor must also assume ongoing wholesaling and managing responsibilities in addition to selling to their own retail customers. Emphasis should be placed on selling the product or services offered, not recruiting others. In an illegal pyramid, the recruits on the bottom level pay money to a few people at the top. Some pyramids are easily recognizable and are as simple as a chain letter. Others are very sophisticated, and disguised to look like legitimate multi-level marketing companies to fool investors and law enforcement. As their disguise, they may take on a line of products or a service and claim to be in the business of selling to consumers. When in realtity, the real money comes from recruiting and not from marketing the products. Recruits themselves may run a significant risk of arrest and fines by authorities for participation in the offer.
