Comments:
Dear FTC: I am a general dentist by profession but am also involved in XANGO as an independent distributor. The proposed Business Opportunity Rule would place undue hardship to distributors who are trying to gain an honest living by the Direct Sales method. While I do understand that FTC is trying to protect consumers from fraud and abusive businessmen it would unfairly affect people who are doing the business legitimately. Furthermore, The 7 day waiting period would place profound burden on distributors because it will cause significant delays in their sales. The Xango product which distributors like me promote and sell through the Direct Sales method have helped numerous people improve in their health and finances. Majority of us are out there to make an honest living and to promote a product that does good to the majority. The proposed rule would place huge disadvantage not only to the consumer but also to the distributor because of the extensive demands the new rule proposes. Please reconsider. Thank you for listening. Sincerely, Alicia Fermin, DMD
