Molly Mulshine from Tech Insider shares:
I’ve started seeing promotional weight-loss posts from people I know on Facebook and Instagram.

These people, mostly women, also tell me they’re making thousands of dollars selling this stuff.

Many of these women are selling products for a company called It Works!
If you think their product or the business opportunity sound too good to be true, then you’re not alone. What

Dick Vitale’s relentless passion for finding a cure for pediatric cancer is spreading from his home base in Lakewood Ranch to Palmetto.
The well-known ESPN college basketball broadcaster and Ranch resident recently accepted a $25,000 donation from It Works! Global for his favorite charity, The V Foundation, which raises money for pediatric cancer research.
It Works! Global, a worldwide direct sales marketer of beauty, wellness and weight loss products, headquartered in Palmetto, gave the donation to Vitale last weekend during the company’s Green Carpet Experience annual corporate sales event, which drew a crowd of 4,000 to the Bradenton area.
The company raised money by asking the sales force in attendance to make a donation in exchange for an It Works! Gives Back Foundation T-shirt. CEO Mark Pentecost has worked with Vitale in the past through the Dick Vitale Gala for The V Foundation, which Vitale hosts every year in Sarasota. Pentecost and his wife, Cindy moved to Manatee County three years ago hoping to become involved.
