Icey, your aunt has been screwed. MLM's are a ripoff for all but those who get in very early.
MLM's "feature" a deal where you sign up new suckers (and get a commission for doing so), then you also get a percentage of any money they make. For MLM's the focus is always on getting new people, and the products are usually far more expensive than comparable products in a store (how else to pay all those high commissions?
Here's the problem. The fundamental flaw of all MLM's is that they are a pyramid scheme. Every 'distributor' must bring in new distributors. So, let's say that I start my own MLM... I am the top tier guy for a new product called, "Tiny Titty Treatment". I bring in 10 people to sell the product with the promise that they will get commissions from the next level of people they bring in.
There are 10 level 1 people. Each brings in 10 people. So now, there are 10 people in level 1 and 100 people in level 2, for a total of 110 people.
The 100 level 2 people each bring in 10 people for a total of 1000 people in level 3. Now there are 1,110 people total.
The 1000 level 3 people each bring in 10 people. Now there are 10,000 level 4 people.
The 10,000 level 4 people each bring in 10 people. Now there are 100,000 level 5 people.
The 100,000 level 5 people each bring in 10 people so now there are ONE MILLION level 6 people.
And of course, at level 7 you have ten million people, level 8 you have one hundred million people.
If these things actually worked, the level 8 people would need to scare up ONE BILLION people to keep the chain going. Hello: Time to go market to all of India.
So unless you got in early, the people who join later always get screwed because there simply are not enough people to go around. 90 to 95 percent of people who join MLM's lose money. This why virtually all MLM's are illegal in Singapore unless they follow stringent guidelines.
Those guidelines make it illegal to have to pay money up front to join an MLM so you may have legal recourse. Check out these government links then call them to see what you can do about filing a complaint.
Good luck.
