FTC Attacks MLM Autoship Programs, Vemma Served With Complaint

 
Vemma was served with a complaint by the FTC on 25 August in the USA, for their autoship program. Vemma affiliates Back Office is temporarily unavailable.

Sherell Slaise – From Time Bankrupt To Time Freedom

 
Sherell Slaise, Ambit Energy Leader says:

Additionally – I had no interest to pursue a Masters Degree which was preferred by the Firm to “rank advance” and earn top income. During this same time period, my
