There are so many pyramid schemes in Jiangxinyuan, Wuhan

In recent years, Jiangxinyuan Community in Jiang'an District, Wuhan City has repeatedly become a "gathering place" for pyramid schemes. Many people are tricked into investing here and even suffer harassment and threats. This matter has attracted widespread attention and is deeply worrying.

The dangers of pyramid schemes

MLM refers to a sales model that relies on the continuous development of offline sales to obtain profits. The "downline" of MLM must purchase certain products, and at the same time develop other people to join the downline. The personnel hierarchy formed in this way will develop downwards without limit, eventually leading to market saturation of the downline and the investment of more people, which will ultimately lead to the destruction of people's property and physical and mental health.

According to reports from many residents, many community entrances, corridor entrances and surrounding roads in Jiangxinyuan are occupied by some "part-time" pyramid schemes all year round. MLM personnel often organize "exchange meetings" and "lectures" to sell different products to residents. They often use the name of "part-time job to make money" to lure residents to actively participate. In order to make better money, many people do not hesitate to join MLM practice step by step, and eventually suffer a major blow.
