Check out this picture. From the camera angle do you have any trouble seeing some red flags. From the Raising the Red Flagsphotographed persons angle, maybe he could not see those red flags. The closer he looks the more likely it is that he will notice that he is in trouble. He should be more than just a little concerned.

The California Attorney’s General office raised the red flags on YTB, aka Your Travel Biz, recently with a 25 million dollar law suit. Now mlmwatchdog reports that a 100 million dollar class action law suit has been filed by a St. Louis legal firm and that the Illinois AG is working with the California AG.

The above quote comes directly from the office of the Attorney General for the State of California. You can view the news release here…. http://ag.ca.gov/newsalerts/release.php?id=1596&

Knowledgeable people in the network marketing industry immediately reported, YTB, or Your Travel Biz, as being a pyramid when they first looked at the program.
