When people litter with stupid Network Marketing advertisements

After reading your site, I just HAD to share with you something that drives me up-the-wall. I am involved in a legitimate network marketing company, but I know that it takes work to make it in this industry.

I hate it when I see people put flyers on the windshields of cars that get stuck and leave marks on windows or worse, what I saw yesterday.

The picture I took is what I saw in a big shopping plaza scattered about the ground. Someone just took dozens and dozens of these business cards and threw them all over the place!

How horribly rude to our city! All the cards promised thousands of dollars (potential in small print, of course) for joining the business. This one made it seem like a real estate venture, but we all know its just a bad attempt to get someone into network marketing.

Why do people like this have to give us all a black name, and our city a black eye?

Fined?
by: Chris

Aren't these people scared of leaving their contact information laying around? Couldn't they get fined for littering? I guess it all depends on the town/county you're in, but I figured littering was against the law pretty much anywhere. I agree, how much success has anyone ever had with this? All it does is make their business look bad, and the person, and people would probably expect that they're going to have to do the same type of things if they joined. Who wants to do that? UGH! Well, apparently this person didn't mind, huh? ;)

I think both

I'd guess that it is a little of both.

I totally agree!
by: Rayven from Stay a Stay at Home Mom

Thanks Valerie for posting this! I love the picture!

Yes, I totally agree with you! I wonder how many people actually fall for these tactics?

And I wonder if it is a clueless distributor tossing them around or if it is a snakeoil scammer out to get people, you know?
