From the above provisions, we can see whether the Luo Mai we contacted was a pyramid scheme. It can be said with certainty that Luo Mai is a pyramid scheme, a scam that is doing pyramid schemes under the legal cloak of "direct selling". Buying a certain amount of Luo Mai products is a disguised payment, while buying π cups, π necklaces and sterilizers is just a lie. Sending cups is not worth a few dollars at all, and it doesn't help. Alkaline constitution is just a hype concept, which is untenable at all. It is absolutely cheating consumers to sell a cup of 20 yuan on Taobao and a π cup of 400 yuan on Luo Mai. How many people joined Luo Mai because of Luo Mai's products? After buying the product, I bought a healthy product and bought a very practical and affordable product? No, those who join Luo Mai can follow Luo Mai's pyramid plan. They all want to make money. By joining the development staff, we can develop offline, calculate and pay online rewards according to the sales performance of offline, in order to seek legal non-benefits. This is pyramid selling. MLM is certain. Buy products from Luo Mai, buy products from this company without issuing receipts or invoices, but put money into personal accounts. This is a MLM organization in Luo Mai and Luo Mai. In fact, Luo Mai can also say that this organization has nothing to do with me. There are no receipts and invoices for buying products, and they are bought from individuals. Luo Mai has nothing to do with you. Luo Mai is a direct seller, and you are a pyramid seller.
