Comments:
I greatly appreciate your efforts to prevent fraud in the field of direct marketing! Please, though, be careful not to tie the hands of those of us who earn our bread and butter money through lawful and honest methods of direct selling. Please don't scare away our prospective recruits and customers. For example, in our company, folks can become members merely to purchase at the wholesale prices. This allows them to receive the company magazine and other tools that may reinforce their understanding of the products, as well as introduce them to the other products, encouraging them to try them and stick with them. But if they must make their personal contact information available to strangers who may then contact them, this would discourage most folks from becoming members, greatly diminishing our opportunity to grow our legitimate business! This IS a legitimate business as much as if we opened a store front and sold products in that way. Please help us to continue in our honest business pursuits. Thank you! Carmela Jones
