層壓式推銷

近年本港出現不少公司，以經營傳銷、網絡、保健美容產品等為名，意圖誘騙消費者或有意投資者參與其種金計劃或層壓式推銷計劃。消費者須認清各種銷售模式，勿被高回報、高利潤等聲稱所吸引，以免誤墮圈套，招致巨額損失。 ( 消費者委員會 )

層壓式推銷是一種不能持久的商業運作模式，參與者介紹其他人加入可賺取佣金，而這些佣金正來自新會員的入會費，如此 類推，一層壓一層，公司通常沒有提供任何產品或服務。這種推銷手法至少有100年的歷史。其他類似的手法有多層式推銷 (multi-level marketing) 和 matrix scheme，但與層壓式推銷不同，這些經營手法是合法的。

大部分層壓式推銷試圖混淆視聽，把騙局包裝得複雜和似是而非。參與者付入會費後，要介紹其他人入會才有收入，上層的 參與者可以分享下層參與者的入會費，一層壓一層，如金字塔一樣，金錢向上邀集，發起人是最終得益者。最受害的是最低層的參與者，因為他們未能夠介紹其他人 入會，支出了卻沒有回報。為了欺騙參與者，層壓式推銷通常牽涉假個案和假證據。

歷史

層壓式推銷有很多不同版本，最早的模式是以信件行騙。信件寫上有5至10個地址的列表，收信人把表上第一個地址刪 去，在表末加上自己和其他人的地址，成為新的列表，寫在新的信上，然後把此信連同指定的小額金錢寄去剛被刪的地址。寄信人希望程序一直重複，終有一天自己 的地址成為列表上首個地址，接收累積的金錢。

大規模的層壓式推銷曾於前蘇聯共和國發生。蘇聯解體後不久，當地的人對股票市場不熟悉，被誤導以為可以輕易獲得 10倍以上利潤。最惡名昭彰的是俄羅斯的 MMM 騙局和阿爾巴尼亞的層壓式推銷騙案。

法例禁止

很多國家明文規定禁止層壓式推銷，但仍禁之不絕。雖然純粹牽涉金錢的層壓式推銷已差不多絕跡，但很多層壓式推銷都以售買貨品作掩飾，卻以招攬會員為實。

特徵

層壓式推銷提供的產品本身幾乎毫無價值，或者是以高出市價的價錢出售。這些「產品」包括教授參與者如何招攬新會員的 小冊子、錄音帶等，價錢可能高達數百至數千美元。互聯網上的宣傳文本， 常以「如何在網絡上賺 100萬元？」做招徠。其他的例子包括，把產品以遠高於市價的價錢出售。結果是祇有參與推銷的人才會購買，而唯一可以賺取金錢的途徑是介紹更多的新人，因 為部份新人入會費是舊人的佣金。

層壓式推銷的特徵：

．硬銷手法
．保證可得可觀收入
．沒有產品，或產品以遠高於市價出售
．收入純粹來自介紹別人入會的佣金，而不是靠售賣產品予非會員
．通常祇有最早期加入的人才能賺錢

《禁止層壓式推銷法條例》

「層壓式推銷計劃」(pyramid selling scheme) 是銷售計劃的一種，所有參與該計劃的人都要先付出一筆金錢，以換取授權銷售特定的產品或服務。與此同時，參與者亦可介紹更多其他人士參與此計劃，進一步擴大公司的銷售網絡。

問題是：參與者每介紹一名新人加入時都可獲得報酬，但報酬並非按其本人或其介紹之參與者的實際銷售業績計算。簡單而言，參與者的報酬主要來自推銷計劃本身或俗稱「拉人頭」，而非來自產品銷售，當中所涉及的產品亦往往一文不值。根據香港法例第355章《禁止層壓式推銷法條例》，這種推銷形式是違法的。

Q 「直銷」與「傳銷」有何分別？
A 「直銷」 (Direct Marketing) 可包括電話直銷、郵遞直銷、電視直銷及人傳人的直接傳銷；直接傳銷亦即翻譯自英文的 "Direct Selling"，直接傳銷又簡稱為「傳銷」。直接傳銷與傳統銷售的分別，在於產品不需經過傳統出口商、入口商、批發商及零售商等渠道，而是由直銷商直接 將產品銷售到顧客手中。

Q 何謂層壓式推銷？
A 層壓式推銷的主要特點在於參加者須要負擔高昂的參加費用，並且透過「拉人頭」方式以賺取利潤，而不會著重產品銷售。利用層壓式推銷手法所銷售的產品，質素多為參差低劣，也沒有退貨保證；而直銷商在退出其公司時，剩餘的仍可銷售之產品，亦不能退回有關公司。

Q 正當與不正當直銷之區別為何？
A
正當直銷
1. 參加費用低
2. 通過銷售產品獲得報酬
3. 優質產品
4. 冷靜期內可退貨
5. 直銷公司會向退出之直銷商購回
過多而仍可售賣之存貨

不正當直銷
1. 巨額參加費
2. 拉人頭以賺取利潤
3. 不重視產品質素
4. 不設冷靜期或退貨條件苛刻
5. 不會購回過多存貨

Q 如客戶或會員對直銷公司產品不滿，是否可以退回貨品，取回現金？有否附帶條件？
A 每家公司均有其特定的經營模式，但凡屬香港直銷協會的會員公司（包括美國安利亞太區香港分公司、關懷國際香港有限公司、香港康寶萊國際有限公司、Mary Kay、美國如新香港分公司及美國立新世紀有限公司）都必須遵守香港直銷協會的各項守則，其中的保障包括：
1. 為消費者提供不少於七日的退貨保證；

2. 直銷商在退出該公司時若存有仍可銷售的產品，直銷公司則必須購回該等存貨，另收取之手續費不可高於貨價的百分之十，以保障直銷從業員的利益。

Q 香港直銷協會怎樣監管直銷商？
A 香港直銷協會制訂了一套直銷公司之商德守則，其中亦明確列出會員公司的直銷商須遵守之規則，包括如實介紹產品功效及用法等，以監管直銷商的經營活動。

Q 如對直銷商手法不滿，是否有投訴途徑？
A 如被投訴直銷商的所屬公司為香港直銷協會的會員公司，消費者可直接向該公司或香港直銷協會作出投訴及諮詢，以便作進一步跟進；但若該公司並非香港直銷協會會員公司，消費者則需另行投訴，例如與消費者委員會聯絡，尋求協助。

青年不聽父勸  墮層壓式推銷陷阱
2/5/05太陽報

【太陽報訊】銅鑼灣一間層壓式推銷香薰油公司，涉藉靚女在互聯網物色「羊牯仔」，一青年誤墮陷阱竟借貴利買貨，欠下財務公司六萬元，其家人考慮報警求助。

疑被騙的十九歲姓葉青年，兩個月前在 ICQ上認識姓鄭少女，雙方多次約會後，鄭女自稱是香薰油傳銷商，游說葉入行。上月初，葉應邀到銅鑼灣的辦事處聽講座，職員聲稱只要付出六萬四千元，便可 購得價值八萬元的香薰油，而每介紹一人加入，更可獲五千元獎金。葉曾向父母諮詢意見，葉父則勸兒子切勿中計。

惟上月二十七日，葉再被鄭女帶到該公司，終經不起車輪戰游說，答應開戶。職員教唆葉到兩間財務公司借貸，又唆擺葉冒 充父母簽署合約文件。直至前晚，葉家人收到財務公司收數信，始揭發葉懷疑受騙。警方防止罪案科指出，層壓式推銷計畫最終無可避免會崩潰，除最早加入的少數 人士，絕大部分人都會蒙受損失，故呼籲市民切勿輕信。

伊朗查禁港層壓式公司涉20億元 28人被捕
11月 4日 星期五 05:05 更新

【明報專訊】總部設在香港、售賣黃金產品的公司 GoldQuest International 被伊朗司法部指為危險的層壓式推銷公司，被勒令停止在當地運作。伊朗檢控官 Hamid Reza Taefi 說，有國民投訴該公司欺騙，因他們購買的錢幣，其價值只及售價的三分一。 伊朗當局在首都德黑蘭拘捕了 28人，全部獲准保釋。

GoldQuest International 用電子貿易方式售賣聲稱極有收藏價值的錢幣及珠寶。一個重 7克、價值約 920港元（118美元）的錢幣，該公司以限量發售為由，將售價訂為 5,000港元（650美元）。這批錢幣印有包括伊斯蘭聖城麥加和美國性感女神瑪麗蓮夢露的圖像。

該公司承諾向介紹親友用現金購買錢幣的購買者提供佣金，至今有50萬名伊朗人加入該公司。以每名伊朗人花 4,000港元（520美元）購買最便宜的產品計算，伊朗經濟共損失了約 20億港元（2.6億美元），轉介他人購買該公司產品的伊朗人，亦被控令外匯流失和走私等罪名。

GoldQuest International 香港總部的金融及公司策略主管 Richard Zinkiewicz 向法新社記者表示，該公司純粹做「多層面的市場推廣生意」（multi-level marketing business），「不少國家質疑我們做生意的模式，但我們財務狀況良好」，該公司目前有 140萬來自世界各地的顧客。他又說，該公司或許在網上交易的稅務問題上冒犯了伊朗當局，又或每月向司法部提供的款項不足夠。

LampeBergers hits the spot yet again

Comparing Legitimate Multi-Level Marketing
with
Illegal Pyramid Schemes

Are There Profits In Pyramid Schemes?

Don't Bank On It

Are you under the impression that multi-level marketing plans are all pyramid schemes? Well, they're not.

Many people consider all MLMs to be "pyramids" - but they fail to make the distinction between "illegal" and "legal" pryamids, considering anything that is based upon a pyramid shape to be illegal - forgetting that their own job, the government, their church, and virtually every organization that they belong to or know of is top-down oriented and shaped as a pyramid.

Legitimate multi-level-marketing plans are a way to sell real goods or services through distributors. These plans usually show that if you sign up to be a distributor, you will receive commissions - not only on your sales of the plan's goods or services, but also on the sales of the people you recruit to join the distributors. One of the keys is that there are actually tangible products and services moving through the network, rather than just the building of the network or "building mailing lists" or "sending recipes" or "sending jokes," etc., such as chain letters usually have you do.

Pyramid schemes have a similar structure, but a completely different focus. They concentrate on the commissions you could earn just for recruiting new distributors, and generally ignore the marketing and selling of products or services. The Federal Trade Commission requires a minimum of 10 non-distributor customers per month to be serviced by each distributor after a certain period - without these customers, it is an illegal pyramid.

Most countries outlaw pyramiding. The reason: Plans that pay commissions for recruiting new distributors inevitably collapse when new distributors can't be recruited. When a plan collapses, most people - except perhaps those at the very top of the pyramid - lose their money.

Here are tips to help you avoid losing money to an illegal pyramid scheme or a fraudulent multi-level marketing plan:

1. Avoid plans with "Headhunter Fees" - any plan that offers commissions just for recruiting additional distributors. It is illegal to pay for simply signing others up.
2. Avoid plans with "Front Loading" - plans that ask new distributors to spend money on high-priced inventory. These plans can collapse quickly - and also may be illegal pyramids in disguise. The requirement of a minor purchase of a set of initial business materials (order forms, catalogs, etc.) does not fall into this category.
3. Avoid plans that are "Free to Join" - Use a little common sense - why in the world would anyone be offering to set you up in a business that costs them money and you absolutely nothing? There are hidden costs always around the corner in these "free" businesses, once they have snared you in. There is a saying that many go by (falsely) of "if you have to buy the kit, it ain't legit" - that is absolutely the worst possible indicator of legitimacy. Any legitimate business is going to cost something to start. NO business of value is free to start - even a child's Kool-Aid stand costs the parents the sugar, drink mix and cups that it takes to make and sell the drinks.
4. Avoid plans that claim that you "don't have to work hard" - although MLM is a different style of business than standard retail storefront type business , it is nonetheless hard work (in a different manner) to build your business - any claims to the contrary should raise red flags as to the veracity of anything else the claimant is telling you.
5. Avoid plans that claim you will always make money because your downline will always grow - plans that claim you'll make money through continued growth of your "downline" - the commissions on sales made by new distributors you recruit - instead of through sales you make yourself. No one can guarantee your downline business growth - ever. Again, it is your efforts that will cause this to happen or not happen - no other guarantees should be respected.
6. Avoid "Snake Oil" plans - plans that promise enormous earnings or claim to sell miracle products. Just because a promoter of a plan makes a claim doesn't mean it's true! Ask the plan's promoter to back up the claims with hard evidence - then verify that evidence to the best of your ability.
7. Avoid Shills - "decoy" references that the promoter pays to describe fictional success in earning money through the plan. Anyone making claims should be verified as to veracity - if the plan is legitimate, no false claims will be made... although there are some unscrupulous MLM'ers will make false claims about legitimate MLM opportunities to try to make them sound more enticing. Learn to separate the bogus "distributor" (a person) from a bogus opportunity (a company) and don't transfer the onus of the bad person onto the good company - there are bad apples in every business, MLM or other, who will attempt to deceive you. In this case, if the company looks good, but the "distributor" doesn't, find a legitimate distributor (call the company and ask for the names of several distributors in your area and the call them all) and check it out further.
8. Avoid the "Matrix" type MLM - the plan that only pays you on X number of distributors wide and Y number of distributors deep. These plans are self-limiting on the amount of money you will make - anything outside of that "matrix" is lost money and effort.
9. Avoid "Instant" decisions - don't pay or sign any contracts in an "opportunity meeting" or any other high-pressure situation. Take your time to think over a decision to join. Check it out thoroughly first. If it is a good opportunity today, it will be a good opportunity next week, especially after you have had time to check it out more thoroughly. If the person wanting to get you involved avoids giving you time, or wants you to make a decision right then and there, beware! A legitimate offer will encourage thorough research, and even point you to third party sources to get it.
10. Avoid the "Groundfloor Opportunity" snare - plans that hawk themselves as "Just as good as ABC Company only better - now you have a Ground Floor Opportunity."  Legitimate MLMs have the same opportunity for success no matter where or when you get in, and always allow you to make more money than your sponsor if you work at it more than they do. Plans that have been around a long time have been around a long time for a reason - they have proven products and methods that work, and others who have made mistakes you can learn from so that you won't have to. There are legitimate MLM opportunities that have been around almost 4 decades.
11. Avoid the "One Product" company - when a company has only one product or service to market, it is vulnerable. Look for a company that is diversified enough to withstand the loss of a single product or even an entire product line. We all know that the media loves hyperbole, controversy, and spectacular stories over the truth any time. If you take a hit in the media when you only have one product, you are history - whether that story was true or not. There have been actual cases of companies put out of business literally overnight after bad publicity which was later proved false.
12. Avoid the "Here's your kit, now go and do it" MLM - legitimate MLMs almost always have some sort of a training program or support groups with proven track records. Mentorship is an important principle in all areas of life, and business (especially MLM, which by definition is a different type of business) is no exception. Find the training groups and ask questions, question, and more questions.
13. Don't just take the word of the person trying to get you involved - do your homework! Check with your local Better Business Bureau and state Attorney General about any plan you're considering, especially if the claims about your potential earnings or the product sound too good to be true.

"................Why I say it is not advisable for muslim to join LB?First-they teach people to lie. When we invest for count we will get rebate about RM2k and they taught me to tell people that the RM2k is my first income.Second- they encourage members to join the tea party usually at night about 9-10 pm. Where in Islam it is not good for women to hang out mixed with guys at night.At the tea party they will talk about the biz and show off that some of them have quited their job and make much money with LB to influence others who haven't joined.Third- There are other activities which I felt not comfortable with where they encourage the audience to scream, sing and dance to burn the 'semangat' in ourselves and to influence others.
Before joining them I searched the internet and found this blog and felt afraid to join LB, but since I believe in my friend I ignored this blog. When I told them about this blog they said that they are failure people and don't follow them plus the blog owned by SYN not SGN.
People who are engrossed in the biz won't realize something is wrong in that biz because they are happy getting lots of money, but the ones who make decision to refund will understand the deceptions in this business."

Edit: Add one more thing, ever wonder how Lampe Berger in Asia start? here is the link:

Link: http://www.geocities.com/joyfulluck/history_of_lb.html

I know some is lazy to read or dunno chinese so i briefly translate it: Lampe Burger Asia was originated from a company named Al'gomer lead by 黃樹立, but Al'gomer sales not that good so he sell it to a lady called Mrs Soo. Mrs Soo changed the company name to Lampe Burger using pyramid scheme and it was very successful. But later on this company have to bankrupt because the supplier is 黃樹立's father 黃國屏, he make her no more business then take over her company and woalah, here come the all famous Lampe Berger where we see right now. But then 黃樹立's older brother (黃樹&#38596 is very jealous and use some tactics to stop his younger brother to get any supply. So at the end, 黃樹雄 become the leader of Lampe Berger. His younger brother been chased out and have to create another brand called Belair.

If after reading the history of Lampe Berger you still believe LampeBerger is an honest business then I really got nothing to say.

Here is link of Next Megazine (HK) further investigation on Lampe Berger, Next Megazine is Hong Kong most popular megazine, if you still doubt this megazine is lying then I'm speechless as well:

Another testimonial from LB member

Hi i'm John,
I joined LB for 2 months already and i decide to refund cause those uplines are really bugging me a lot for upgrading to count which cost RM30k (Now no more offer i guess, its RM36-38k if i'm not mistaken).

They told me its impossible for you to success without cloning the RM30k system, and i did some research and found its true that you must clone in order to success, but what they told me when i haven't join is totally different, they told me RM2k is just a small amount that you can borrow it easily from your friend or family, they even ask you to borrow from loan sharks who are relatives of upline in LB so we cannot complaint them.

I never give up, i keep trying everyday to meet friends and relatives to talk to them about this business, but i found they all are avoiding to meet me and some even don't want to pick up their phones when i call them. Being a part of MLM will really make all your friends run away from you, you will start to feel lonely.

Another thing is the attitude of your uplines are totally different compare to before you join and after u joined. You will feel like you are begging them to help you to find prospect and whatever they say you must listen or else you're dead.

Lastly, about the refund procedure, i called to the office and ask for the whole procedure about refund. I'm not sure about the RM30k but RM2345 is like this:

1. Write a letter to the company to tell them you want to resign or fill in an account termination form provided in the company.
2. If all the products you bought are given by the company, you will get an invoice (a few yellow papers) and you must photostat it and submit together with the termination form/letter to the counter in the company.
3. You must not bring the products while doing step 1 and step 2, they will contact you few days later then only you bring the items for refund.
4. Make sure the products are in good condition and not used before.
5. Around one month after you pass them the products you will recieve a cheque with the amount of 90% from the total you paid.

If the products are bought in the company instead of given by your upline, then you still got some hope. Well, still looks "ok" right? At least can refund...but wait....

When your upline bring you to buy the products, they use their own names to buy it with the reason "discount". The total PV you need to become a franchisee is 2345PV = RM2345, so if your upline buy for you, you can get a discount of 20% (franchisee discount), 29% (baron discount), 38% (count discount) from RM2345. So the products can say are bought by them even you paid, the invoice only have their names, they transfer the PV to you only, and they demand cash from you cause they buy for you so they don't have any commisions.

Then the problem comes, there's another refund method for situation above, procedure as below:

1. Return the products to your upline.
2. Your upline must pay you the amount of the total products you're refunding.
3. Your upline will take the products to the company and refund. How they refund i'm not sure but i guess its something similar like above.

Well, i guess your upline is not stupid enough to do that.....

Here are some advice for you guys who being asked to join LB:

1. Do not follow them to their company at Menara HLA near KLCC. If you did, DO NOT being impressed by them with their bullshit fake story.

2. If you joined, before anything goes worse please do not go for their any gatherings and get your refund as soon as possible. They say treat you go where also don't go, mamak/KTV/movie where also, its not enjoying at all, its sharing you some fake stories to make you exited and convince you to upgrade to RM30k.

3. Do not sign the application form when they asked you. They will say, this is just something to prove that you are temporary my prospect and no one can force you to join them. They will not let you have the chance to read the agreement behind the form, it wrotes behind, quite small..."No.3(i) I agree to pay the membership fee and other registration charges currently enforced by the company".

4. Never ever go to anywhere when someone who is in LB calls you, its a trap.

5. If you insist to join, please do not let your upline do for you. The invoice must have your name in it.

6. Do not get confuse while they telling you the marketing plan, they will make you confuse so that you will think what they said is all true.

How they convince you to join?

1. Someone in LB will find his upline for help if they can't convince you alone. He most probably will find his upline who have a nice car to come and find you.

2. Your friend will not say anything but agree at everything his upline telling you. Even his upline made a mistake on the plan he also will

3. They will start talking to you normally to get close to you.

4. His upline will simply give a reason to walk away from you a while.
Then your friend will T-Up (Talk good things) about his upline to impress you.

5. When he finish explain the marketing plan to you, your friend will straightaway take out an application form and probably will say "what are you waiting for? lets join us" something like that.

I hope everyone who wants to join LB can read my experience in LB before they join.

I am one of the member and will lost half of RM33k. I hope I can get back the half by this month.
I havent got the money yet, I gave them chance but now they are asking me to give them chance again.
They said they want to buy my account to help me not to 'rugi' so much, but I know they afraid they will lost PV if they refund my products. My upline is a Marquis challenger and I know she really needs the PV.
They cant give me the money before I go back to Malaysia to change the account name.
FYI, I am in Japan now.
My goodness I dont know what to say.
They were my good friends.
For your info, I was in another group, not  SYN.
You know about it right?

To those who are active in LB and read this msg, from my experience LB is a SCAM.
SYN or Steady Global Network , sama saja..boleh blah and penipu. Selffish!!
I did not refund because I couldnt get any dlines, I could have if I want but I made decision to refund before my friends join me..I could smell something wrong with the biz, I believe it is not a halal biz for muslims.

I will tell you the whole story when I have time. Pls publish this.

Thanks

another excerpt from forum.

Hallo... please do your research properly la.. LISTEN UP HERE.

DCHL is the Taiwan company who is the sole distributor for Lampe Berger products in Asia. The local Malaysian company that holds the license is RZ Corporation, who has joint-ventured with DCHL. WHY? Because foreign MLM companies are not allowed to do business here. They need a local Malaysian company to apply for license.

Second thing I want to highlight is this:

DCHL is selling a 1 litre bottle of oil for more than RM200.
In the US, it is selling for only USD17. = less than RM 65.

So think about that.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FYI, this is the so called France company they bragged about but based in Taiwan.

codenamed "living dead"
Tried to borrow 5k... not so close friend so i say "sorry dude, no money". Then he left me alone and went quite for few months. But i heard from his other close friend that he went "jeok chou/wear grass" already coz borrow money from "ah long".

From my observation, LB is only meant for rich man... if you got friend/business contact whom ave plenty of $$$. then you can make it with their $$$. However, if a very high risk gamble with your contacts... coz LB will go out soon oneday... when it happen its also ends your business relation contact and all your biz....

just my opinion....

I even heard that these LB member put their money to buy branded thing as to make them look grand and luxury juz for the purpose to promote their so called "luxury" in front of their potential investor juz to make the convincing how luxury they were... by doing LB pyramid scheme

This is another way of LIVE ADVERTISING are.. they invest their money to advertise their virtual luxury. Big cars, luxury items, big spenders...this is how they train they distributors. So that the public can 'idolize' them. Let's say a LB member: big cars, luxury items, big spender earns 40K per month. But in order to maintain his 'luxurious' lifestyle, 80% of his income is gone.

Are those temporary materials worth your self value & your relationship with others?

Its true that this is indeed a club for the rich people. Products are over priced thou MLM are suppose to be selling their products at fair price & not exceeding those available out in the market. Those from the middle income earners suffer lots because of their ignorance & greed. Learn the truth & share it with those you care.
