Scam Warning For Product Distributors, Specifically Mary Kay

 
The Better Business Bureau is warning consumers, especially Mary Kay consultants, about a new scam.
A Springfield resident recently received a text message from someone claiming to be April Weiss, wanting to order $175 in products. April stated that she was opening a modeling agency and the payment would come via cashier’s check from her art director.
Upon receiving the check, the consumer noticed two business names: CU Services Center and California Coast Credit Union out of San Diego. The consumer also received another text message from Weiss stating that the check was accidentally made out in the wrong amount for $2,230.65. April asked that the consumer cash the check and send the remaining balance back to her personal assistant — who she claims is a man named Mark Queen — via MoneyGram. The number associated with the text messages is 404-490-2503, an area code out of Atlanta.
BBB conducted a simple search of the phone number and found several similar stories on www.800notes.com dating from June 16. The bureau offers the following tips on how to avoid being scammed with fake checks.
• Talk to a branch manager in person before depositing a check from a stranger. Banking experts know what to look for in

Lawsuit: Nu Skin Paid MLM Compensation To Chinese Distributors

 
Several former Chinese distributors of Nu Skin Enterprises, Inc. claim the marketer of skin care and nutritional supplements authorized sales representatives to earn compensation on their “downline” network in violation of the country’s regulations, according to a consolidated putative class-action complaint that was filed last month in Utah federal court against Nu Skin.
Nu Skin misled shareholders, orchestrating a “massive expansion in China knowing that Nu Skin’s form of multi-level compensation violated many of China’s regulations on direct selling and prohibitions on pyramid schemes,” the lead plaintiff State-Boston Retirement System, a government pension plan, alleged in the 124-page lawsuit filed on June 30.
Plaintiffs in the consolidated complaint have requested certification of a class of shareholders who purchased Nu Skin securities including options between May 4, 2011 and January 17, 2014. The end of the class period roughly coincides with a precipitous decline in Nu Skin’s stock price (NUS: NYSE), following revelations that the Chinese government was investigating its business practices. 
Plaintiffs have alleged violations of Section 10(b) of The Exchange Act and Rule 10(b)(5), and Section 20(a) of The Exchange Act.
“We continue to believe the allegations are without merit and intend to defend ourselves vigorously,” Nu Skin spokesperson Kara Schneck said. “Nu
