ENFORCEMENT TEAM PUTS TO A HALT PROMOTION OF SUSPECTED PYRAMID SCHEME

KAJANG, May 20 (Bernama) -- An enforcement team from the Domestic Trade,

Cooperatives and Consumerism Ministry conducted a raid at a hotel here today to

put to a stop promotion of a suspected pryamid scheme by a direct selling

company.

The ministry''s enforcement director Mohd Roslan Mahayudin said the raid was

conducted following complaints from the public that the company was running a

pyramid scheme.

"We believe the company is abusing its direct selling licence by focusing

more on recruitment of members that selling products," he told reporters here.

He said in the 5pm raid, the enforcement team also recorded statements from

200 people present to listen to the company''s promotion of its money-making

scheme.

The team also recorded statements from the organisers besides seizing a

laptop.
