Agents have to buy products upfront, that's a red flag.

I vaguely recall that training programs can be a part of legitimate businesses, so I’m not sure if D is the best choice. It feels like it could go either way.

I think we covered something about how returns on investment should be based on sales, not just recruiting. So, option C seems to make sense to me.

I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like if agents are pressured to buy products upfront, that could be a red flag too. Maybe option A?

I remember discussing how the focus on recruitment over actual product sales can indicate a pyramid scheme, so I think option C might be the right answer.

Ah, the old 'recruit your way to riches' scheme. I wonder if they offer a frequent flyer program for all those recruiters climbing the pyramid. C is the way to go, my friends.

If it looks like a pyramid, smells like a pyramid, and promises you the world for just a small investment... it's probably a pyramid scheme. C marks the spot, folks!

I'm gonna have to go with C on this one. Anything that prioritizes recruitment over actual product sales is a big red flag in my book. Seems like a classic pyramid scheme to me.

This question seems pretty straightforward. I think the correct answer is C - when the rewards for recruiting agents outweigh the rewards for actually selling the product, that's a clear sign of a pyramid scheme.
