As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh
We have analysed the Forever Living Products company policy document and website information. We understand that Forever Living Products (FLP) produces and markets health and beauty products via distributors who earn a commission through selling such products.
There are various different designations and levels of the Multi-Level Marketing Programme offered by Forever Living Products (FLP). Kindly advise which exact programme you wish to enter, your profile/duties and benefits. Also kindly send us a copy of the distributorship agreement and application form.
We also advise you to obtain proper financial advise regarding the legitimacy of the scheme especially in view of other multi-level marketing Ponzi scams.
And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
