Dear Editor,

Re: You can join the fight against the scammers 

How interesting that at last Trading Standards are bringing in this new scheme targeting scammers.

Hopefully this will include Herballife, which promises untold wealth the easy way and the earn extra money from home.

It hides away under a series of different names , but all bring you back to the hard sell constant phone calls an badgering by email till you sign up as a 'distributor' the 'products' they sell are given an almost 'miracle' classification but are merely vastly over-priced dieting products you can obtain at a far cheaper rate from most health shops and supermarkets and even Argos.

Folks have lost thousands of pounds and even their homes through this deceitful scam, hopefully trading standards can push to have them total outlawed , though 'pyramid 'selling is illegal, these con artists hide away under the guise of network selling, or multi-level-marketing.

Even using false government statistics to back-up their claims, they rarely advertise in the press , and were recently exposed by the Sun as fraudsters, which is probably why they hide away on the 'Net' they face law-suits in the USA to the tune of millions, one can only hope this is nipped in the bud before it gains a foothold nationally.
