FTC: Vemma Temporarily Shut Down For Running Pyramid Scheme

by Tina Williams • August 26, 2015 • 0 Comments

AP Reports: The Federal Trade Commission said Wednesday that Vemma Nutrition has been temporarily shut down for operating a pyramid scheme that promised college students riches if they sold its nutritional drinks, but most ended up losing money.
The consumer protection agency said that Vemma told recruits that they could make as much as $50,000 per week selling its nutritional beverage Vemma, energy drink Verge or protein shake Bod-e. An initial investment of $600 was paid for products and business tools and $150 in Vemma products had to be bought each month to receive bonuses. The FTC said Vemma provided little help on how to sell its products and instead rewarded them for recruiting more people.
Vemma earned $200 million a year in 2013 and 2014, according to the FTC.

ValueWalk reports: Herbalife Ltd. (NYSE:HLF) is one of Wall Street’s favorite controversies, and now it seems like there could be another problem on the company’s plate. Although it isn’t directly impacting Herbalife right now, it could at some point in the future, as the company has admitted to being under investigation by the Federal Trade Commission.
FTC moves against Vemma Nutrition
The FTC is now seeking an injunction against Vemma Nutrition, another multi-level marketing company which sells some products that are similar to those sold by Herbalife. Unfortunately for Herbalife, its business practices (some past and some present) seem to be in some ways similar to Vemma’s practices. ValueWalk contacted a pyramid scheme expert who found three areas of concern for Herbalife in the case filed against Vemma.
