So is Work at Home United a Scam?
Well, Work at Home United isn’t really a scam, since they don’t take any money from you. However, all they really are is an affiliate for Melaleuca, Inc, a company that specializes in selling environmentally friendly products.
I assume that Work at Home United never says on their website that they are promoting Melaleuca, Inc. because then you would simply search Melaleuca in Google, and undoubtedly come up with all sorts of terrible results. This is not because Melaleuca is a bad company, it is simply because any MLM company tends to get tons of bad reviews just for being an MLM.
To be fair, Melaleuca is not a standard MLM company as they don’t “pay” you for recruiting people to sales, instead they give you bonuses and incentives.
The problem with Work at Home United being a front for Melaleuca, Inc, is that to make money with Melaleuca you have to be able to sell their products. While Melaleuca, Inc. is dedicated to environmentally friendly products, their products tend to be expensive, which used to be excusable in the 1980s when finding eco-friendly products was really difficult.
But now, you can just go to the nearest WalMart or Target and pick up Seventh Generation dish soap, Method hand wash, and a variety of other green products for almost the same prices as the regular not eco-friendly brands. This is going to make it extra difficult to convince others that they should their eco-friendly products from you.
However, if this is a business opportunity you’re still interested in, just be aware that it will take lots of time and effort on your part to make any business, including this one, successful. Don’t believe promises of easy money or you’ll be sorely disappointed.
HERBALIFE
I sent off for the information pack....$9.95 for a 15 day trial.
I received a pamphlet and a dvd that was basically worthless. I straight away sent an email to Patrick (who had sent the info pack) telling him I wasn't at all interested in selling Herbalife. The next day I placed the info pack into an envelope and sent it back.
Two weeks later I was charged another $39.95. When I questioned this I was told that it was because I had kept the info pack. When I explained that I had returned it the day after receiving it I was told that they hadn't got it and basically unless I could prove they had......I was out of luck!
That's what I call a SCAM
The above comment has nothing to do with Work At Home United.
research instead of reading all the bashing. The company did not publish "A Legacy of Wellness" and an R.M. Barry Guide for household tips and natural remedies for nothing. Decades of research go into their products to be able to compete with the marketplace. I don't know of too many companies that have a consumer hotline 6 days a week that listens to customer concerns and questions the way they do. Try getting through to the major companies and see if you get a satisfactory response. This company listens to it's customers and makes changes based on enough customer response. They like and appreciate educated consumers. If you aren't one of those, you can be one of the $1 store customers that don't appreciate quality in a product and don't care about the long term effects of your health, that of your family, and the environment. With over 350 products and 5 aisles of products, I don't know why everyone here is just stuck on the cleaning products. The chemicals in the drug store brands, cosmetic counters, etc. are unacceptable once you do the right research. Cheap vitamins have fillers, artificial colors, lead, additives, etc. and don't absorb.

Everybody wants something for nothing. A Pyrimid is a scam program. I know from experience. you dont make a cent of that unless you scamming someone else to sign up and invest (Monies they dont have). The whole purpose behind most people wanting to make money working at home. they want to save on the daily commute. on the car expenses, fuel expenses, and the time away from there loved ones. there looking for that 5 or 8 hr a day in the comfort of there own home. not scamming poor people out of there hard to come by cash. This is the true meaning of working from home. OUR Freedom not yours at our expense! So I say this to you that wrote this review THANK YOU for saving me from signing up for another pyrmid downline thats no profit. I'd rather work a REAL job at home than a false hoped no profit. SCAM!
They may occasionally give a sample of a product away to a potential customer, but the products are not intended to be SOLD from the Marketing Rep to the end consumer. That is the beauty of Melaleuca - the Marketing Representative is "introducing" the potential customer to the company; similar to if you tell your friend about a movie that you saw last week and recommend that they see it. Melaleuca is the same - you tell a friend about a great product or two, and a way to make some extra money. That's all. If they want to try, they do - if they don't, they don't. Not an MLM - for sure.
We love them.
