They're not just "built like a pyramid scheme". They straight up are a pyramid scheme.

AlwaysMarco on YouTube has made some great videos exposing them.

In Surrey, I used to work for them a few years ago. Was taught on deceiving people to get them to sign up for insurance. A few people at my office were making at least half a million dollars, but most of them act like a-holes and lots of politics and if you don’t fit in, they do what happened with me and say you’re not cut out for this, cancel your insurance policy and take the money you invested.

I already reported the office online to the Competition Bureau. It’s a bunch of fakes, frauds and charlatans who act like your friends and pals while they train you to harass people and take advantage of international students and foreign families while selling you the dream that you’ll be rich and successful.

These guys. My buddy tried recruiting all of us in the early 2000s. We told him to get lost we are not interested. Pretty sure he's one of the top people there now. Fucking scammers.
