| Pre-Paid Legal is a company that specializes in fixed monthly payments in return for monthly phone advice from a lawyer and discounted rates for seeing a lawyer in an office in person. There are many prepaid legal scams out there and the company Pre-paid Legal seems to be in this group. This company has been accused of being an mlm scam , or multi-level marketing scam, as well. We decided to check out the scoop behind the possible prepaid legal scam .
Pre-Paid Legal is a program ran by the law firm of Mills and Mills located in Toronto Ontario . The Mills and Mills law firm has been around for over 100 years. They offer services in all areas of law including contract law, criminal law, and family law. Pre-Paid Legal offers services such as consultations with lawyers in person as well as meetings on the phone. For $25 a month, Pre-Paid's members will also have special bonuses such as free document reviews and a free will. The company even offers members the ability to sell their Plan to others and make money themselves. As a matter of fact, one out of every three members makes this choice. This is why they have been accused of being an mlm scam . Apparently part of the supposed prepaid legal scam has some basis in fact, since the company freely admits to being guilty of the activities that firmly define multi-level marketing, or an mlm scam . As a matter of fact, Rob MacKenzie of Pre-Paid admits to the progarm being a pyramid plan, however denies that his firm is involved in any kind of mlm scam or prepaid legal scam.
Another prepaid legal scam that the company does not really make its members aware of in the beginning is the fact that they also specialize in selling sales products to its representatives, such as motivational tapes. A lot of members get caught up in buying the merchandise and cut a loss instead of a gain from the program.
This is for the consumer: If you want to engage in Multi-Level Marketing, do some research first and do not sink too much money into these kinds of ventures. They are usually more risk than reward.
