Consumer Alert: Alliance in Motion (AIM) Global

Correspondent | Thursday October 26, 2017 15:18

The people promoting AIM Global claim that people joining can earn large amounts of money, simply by marketing the scheme to other potential recruits.

That is the essence of a pyramid scheme, that earnings are made exclusively or mainly from the recruitment of other victims rather than the sale of products.

However, AIM Global claim that their scheme is based on the sale of a product called “C247”. They claim that this single product can treat 100 different medical conditions including asthma, diabetes, cirrhosis, bone fracture, deafness, endometriosis, epilepsy, heart diseases, hypertension, low sperm count, “toxins in the body”, stroke, migraine and even cancer and “immunodeficiency”.

Recruiters have also claimed that their product has been approved by the authorities in Botswana, including the Ministry of Health and the Botswana Bureau of Standards. These claims are untrue. AIM Global is clearly a pyramid scheme that attempts to justify itself by the marketing and distribution of a product that it would be illegal to advertise or sell in Botswana.

Consumer Watchdog urges everyone not to waste their time, energy and money in this obvious pyramid scheme. If consumers are in any doubt they should contact Consumer Watchdog for free advice.
