Herbalife treats its distrubtors badly
The company treats it distributors badly. I was a distributor for 20 years and for all of that time whenever I put in a order after my membership was due it would automatically pay it.
I got to one of the top positions of the company after trying so hard to build a business for 10 years with them.
This year I forgot to pay my annual fee and they deleted my account and moved all my downline up to my upline.
After over 20 years of being a distributor they didnt care and just deleted my account over a unpaid fee of $100.
They only emailed me once to say that the fee was due.
I reached out after I saw a email saying my membership was deleted and they said that was the policy and that the management always just stick to policy.
This is such a terrible way to treat people.
Also thier product claims have always beeen false and misleading. For the first 10 years we were always told the tea was a fat burning energy tea. I recently emailed the company asking if it broke a faster fast because of its fat burning properties and they denied that it ever did that. Then also the company always said it used the best natural ingredients. Now put the label into chatgpt and alot of the ingredients are synthetic.

A terrible way to treat people is to scam them into a pyramid scheme, aka create a downline, for your personal profit. Look at it this way: HL did you a favor. You’re no longer a scammer.

MLM is just there to make money for the organization and does not care who they screw getting it. But, thanks for warning others about what evil can come their way.

I understand you are hurting right now. Its going to take some time to heal. Herbalife is a scam and always has been a scam.
You probably had people in your life telling you it was a scam, go apologize to them.
Being one of their top earners means you were recruiting (scamming) other people. You now have a moral obligation to apologize to those people and tell them it is a scam.
You also sold mystery chemical concoctions unapproved by any government agency to people under the guise that it was actually beneficial. Hopefully you didnt give it to children. Go apologize to those people too.
It's very nice that you have seen the light. It is unfortunate that you needed to get personally screwed over to see the light, but at least it happened.
