The appropriate action that Herbalife takes, of course, is to circular file
the complaint and say they've "taken action" while they take their healthy
percentage of whatever sales in that pyramid scheme makes that the spammer
can manage. In particular, the next set of victims recruited by the spammer
are still profitable to the company, even if they cancel the spammer's
account with them.
Haven't you ever looked into how pyramid schemes work, such as Amway and
Herbalife? Or how such schemes make a big chunk of their profits by selling
their "corporate supplies" to the new suckers, telling them it will help
their business but the suckers never actually make money on it?
