They collaborate, support and reinforce each other’s statement. These are the tactics of the direct sellers to convince consumers and rip off their money. This is the current craze among the direct sellers today. Every MLM company wants to join the money ripping opportunity. Both established MLM companies and the “Fly-by-night” MLM companies are joining the fray to rip off innocent consumers. The over-zealous or “conmen” direct sellers exaggerate on the medical benefits of the stone pendant. They claimed that it can relieve all kinds of body aches and pain, including insomnia and chronic illnesses. I was given a sample of the first generation stone pendant by a friend a couple of years ago. This made-in-USA pendant costs only RM80.00. He attached it to an attractive necklace and packaged it in a beautiful box.He then sold it for RM950.00 through direct selling. Within two years, he pocketed RM2 million (USD650,000) and emigrated to the United States. Other MLM companies joined this band-wagon. They imported a cheaper version from Korea that costs RM50.00 and sold to the consumers for RM350.00 a piece. They used “live testimony” of “consumer” to convince other consumers of the benefits of the pendant. Is there any scientific or medical proof that the pendant is worth the money you paid for? I wore the pendant as a jewellery piece due to its beautiful semi-transparent stone with a ‘meaningful” logo on it. The logo is only ‘meaningful” to me but not necessary to others. Unless you want to buy a stone pendant as a jewellery piece or a pyschological instrument to calm your worry of pains, don’t take a second look at this. Otherwise, you will be conned by their super exaggerated claims of medical benefit.
