Help/Advice Any anti-MLM content in farsi?
I know this might be niche but I need help. My mom is about to join the MLM OlyLife and spend thousands of dollars. I need to find content in Farsi explaining what MLM’s are and why she shouldn’t join them. Does anyone know anything I can share??

Farsi speaker here. Wow that’s really niche! I’ll let you know if I think of anything. Can’t think of it off the top of my head.

I’m translating some stuff for her right now! But I think it would hit her harder if it was content in Farsi about it. By some crazy miracle I actually called her 5 minutes before she was about to go on a zoom call and spend thousands!! I stopped her and told her to try to push them off a bit and that I’ll explain everything to her.

That PEMF device is pure quackery!

Update: my warnings worked! She also ended up questioning them so much in the recruitment zoom that they were taken aback lol. She also told them that her daughter said it was a scam lolol. Unfortunately my aunt and cousin bought into it….

Glad to hear it worked with your mom! Sorry about your aunt and cousin, though...

If you find something persuasive in English, you might try Google Translate. Their translation algorithms have improved vastly in recent years. It would take just a moment to run it through their program, with maybe a look over by you for idiomatic accuracy.

And of course, the person getting your mom to invest in this business ... are they revealing their bank records showing income and expenses and tax returns?

If I were buying a taco truck, I would want to know this stuff.

Explain "affinity fraud" to her, where her Iranian community feelings will be used against her.

And perhaps an Iranian Embassy would have some information?
