Herbal Life Scam....?

I enquired to a job advertisment on working mum .co.uk or somet, and had a bloke ring me from somet called 'herbal Life' he was literally on the phone to me for an hour talking about nutrition and how to earn loads of moey and stuff.

I am quite wary about this...I just had that anxious sort of feeling...you know where you like don't trust them.

Anyhoo had a look at the website and it all seems cosher, but they want money up front

Is this a scam?!!?

    Herbalife is a well-known company - not a scam, but MLM (multi-level marketing) that a lot of people don't like. I'd do an internet search - you'll find loads of information about them.

    my SIL did this and really got sucked into it and all their hard sales tactics. She ended up way out of pocket and all of the family were sick of her trying to offload all of her remedies and pills at extortionate prices.
    Personally I wouldn't touch it with a bargepole!
