FTC bans pyramid marketing citing risk of deception
The Federal Trade Commission ruled to ban outright pyramid marketing schemes used to sell cosmetics and apparel. The plan pays recruiters with income shares or flat fees, creating strong incentives to recruit and sell goods. Symbraette Inc. of Scotts Valley, along with Koscot International and Holiday Magic, faced action for pyramiding tactics. If upheld in court, the decision could allow the FTC to shut down pyramid schemes by proving they are pyramids.
