I had a church calling in the regional LDS (older) singles. The single women with a good income were all prime targets for this sort of thing. Oh, the stories! This stuff really did happen! We tried to warn the victims, but they would never listen to us--100% failure for the warnings.
It the 3 years I endured the calling, 4 widows in our neighborhood lost their homes, after marrying someone they met in the Mormon singles. The courtships were usually fast and exciting. One TBM woman met her TBM man, while they were both selling MLM USANA vitamin supplements. She mortgaged her house to keep their "business line" going, but, of course, it failed, and when she lost her house, he left her for another woman with more money. A slick doctor married my beautiful friend, and they took out a mortgage on her house to add on to it, and it was beautiful. He left her for another woman, and got her house in the divorce. When they Mortgaged the house, he had it put in his name. She had raised her children in that home, but there was nothing she could do about it. The doctor's brother was an equally slick lawyer, and our bishop. The doctor moved into the house, with his woman, and later married. No excommunication, or reprimand, or anything.
Back to MLM's, the prices they ask are much too high--40% to double, sometimes, for the oils. They operate on the principle that if people have to pay more, they think the product must be that much better. A lot like the cult, in every way, but monetarily, Mormons think they are getting a superior dose of nonsense, over the cheaper religions.
