MLM Scams Target Military Spouses.

This topic is one very close to my heart, as a military spouse myself. Military spouses know, multi level marketing companies have had a giant presence in the military spouse community for quite some time. Today I want to talk about why this happens, and how we can come together to help stop the spread of misinformation and "scammy" mlm practices within the military spouse community. I discuss some of the data discovered by the Department of Defense on the many challenges of military spouses- the social and physical isolation, lack of jobs and extremely high unemployment rate, and challenges with childcare. All of these factors are believed to contribute to the spread of MLMs in the military spouse communities and on military bases.
