about whether or not

This company can

be a pyramid scheme.

Here's the reality.

Our core training is

for a new distributor

who wants to build a business,

If they talk to

10 customers today,

10 people a day,

About the products

and the business opportunity.

I have never spoken

to any distributor,

Who is doing that,

who is actively engaged,

who is not making money.

Richard:
Multilevel marketing,

mlms, just tap into beliefs

we have in america

That you really can accomplish

whatever you want to.

The rags-to-riches story

that's there for everybody.

Herbalife has done a great job

reaching into

the hispanic market.

The lower-income immigrants

have these hopes to find

a successful life here

To set up a small business.

Herbalife says, "yeah,

and here's how

you're gonna do it."

Okay, so, we'll get

everybody on one side.

Julie contreras:

The beginning, for me,

was senor phillipe colon.

Him and his wife called me,

talked about herbalife.

I didn't know what it was,

or understand.

When I went to his home,

it was completely filled

with product.

He had it in his living room,

his kitchen...

He had it in his basement

and in his garage.

That's how much product he had

That he could never move.

But he continued

to pay into it

Because he was told

that he would make more money.

And he's a very ethical man.

So he said, "I notice

after this time, julie,

that this is a scam.

"and I want my money back,"

he said.

So I just said,

"you know what?

Let's do a press conference

"and looking to see

if there were any more

victims out there."

And of course

when we made that call out,

the victims responded.

Where did you want to meet?

In here?

They're gonna come here.

They're all gonna

come up here.

They'll be arriving soon.

Okay, so, this is an estimate,

but I'm gonna give you...

-Contreras:
Okay, that...

-This is unbelievable.

And they're just

regular people, right?

Contreras:
They're regular

people and all the receipts

and everything to support it.

Jay reyes:

You've got a real mess here.

Contreras:
A majority of

the group are undocumented.

So, they live

in that insecurity.

They are people

who worked very hard,

people who are paying taxes,

And people who were violated.

And they have a right to seek

what they call "justicia."

justice.

Contreras:

She has suffered a lot

Because her husband

continuously reminds her

About the $8,000

that she owes to them.

Contreras:

Many immigrants migrate here

for a better life,

And if people want to prey

on their lack of

knowledge and finances,

I find that despicable.

And no one is doing anything.

The federal trade commission,

the attorney general...
