My wife got scammed into signing up for this after a so called “friend” saw her on Face book. She no sooner said hi when she was cajoling her into joining this pyramid scheme. That’s how they make their money, signing as many people as they can. Besides having outrageous prices ($26 for nothing more that a 16oz. bottle of glorified Lysol, or over $70 a month for their non FDA approved vitamins), when inquiring how to get out of this scheme, I got hassled by a snotty saleslady ("Director') out of Blaine, MN. (initials S.W.)who called the cops on me for asking honest questions which she wouldn’t answer! Plus they automatically charge your credit card a $60 minimum a month even if you don’t order anything. From what I read on other posts, it's very difficult to quit this pyramid scheme, having to send them certified letters and hoping it reaches the right people.

I would definitely steer clear of this outfit.

I am a happy Melaleuca customer. I read the posted complaint and know from reading the paperwork provided me w hen I enrolled, the conversation I had with the person who enrolled me as well as reading their website that this complaint is not accurate. All prices are posted and accurate. Agreeing to become a member means making a monthly purchase. Many of the products are highly concentrated and need to be mixed with water. I am quite comfortable in stating that Melaleuca is a quality company.

First, this is not a pyramid scheme, because the people at the very top do not make all the money. It is a legitimate and very successful organization that enables individuals to start thier own businesses.

The products are custom made with organic and natural ingredients, but they are no wear near the exaggerated mentioned price tag.
