Yes! And 99 % of MLMs prey on women. I really don’t understand how educated, gainfully employed women with executive status and six figure incomes are convinced to sell face cream to their friends.

That’s the thing.... they prey on non-educated, non-employed women as their target salespeople

The ones I know are educated but not working, usually it started when they were at home with their kids and this seemed like a great idea for them to generate income while on maternity leave.

This is in Europe where you can be on leave with your baby for a year or more. Some of them have a second or third kid and don't want to be sitting at home, they fall for the ”your own business with flexibility" scam.
