10 Tell Tale Signs Of A Pyramid Scheme In Malaysia

My name is Loh Chia Lin. My online brand is Mommy Lynn. I have been building my multi-level marketing (MLM) business by partnering with a Malaysia based direct selling company call BE International since December 2017.

Above is a picture of me and my husband when we visited the Forbidden City at Beijing, China in May 2026.

Our trip to Beijing, China was fully sponsored by BE International through the BE Lifestyle Travel (BELT) campaign.

Free oversea travel twice a year is one of the many benefits of partnering with BE International.

My husband and I have some experience building a multi-level marketing (MLM) business in Malaysia.

This is what we noticed when we shared the BE International business opportunity, many people will group MLM business into the category of pyramid scheme.

In this article, I will share the 10 tell tale signs of a pyramid scheme in Malaysia you should look out for.

1) High entry fee

Pyramid schemes often disguise high entry fees as part of the price charged for required purchases of training, product inventory etc.

Pyramid schemes make virtually all their profits from recruiting.

In order to get into the scheme, you are required to invest a large amount of money.

The person asking you to invest will say the investment is meant as the initial product stock up for the business.

2) Disguise as a legitimate business

Most pyramid schemes are frequently disguised to appear as legitimate direct selling companies.

Pyramid scheme companies do not have a legitimate license to operate a direct selling business in Malaysia.

If a company claims to have a direct selling license, check the license number with the Malaysia Ministry Of Domestic Trade And Consumer Affairs.

3) No inventory buy back

When you’ve bought products from a pyramid schemes, you will not be able to get your money back if you change your mind.

The company will not buy back unsold inventory.

Such schemes will collapse very quickly if there is the condition for re-purchase of goods.

4) Get rich quick

Pyramid schemes has one very tempting Unique Selling Proposition (USP) which is you can get-rich in a short amount of time.

The nature of the pyramids, in which large numbers of people at the bottom of the pyramid pay money to a few people at the top, clearly explains why the scheme cannot sustain itself for long.

5) Position could be purchased

For a pyramid scheme, you can buy yourself into a certain position or ranking in the business.

6) No repeat sale required

Pyramid schemes are not concerned with repeat sales from the users of the products.

Profits are made on volume sales to new recruits who buy the products not because they are useful or attractively priced, but because they must buy them to participate in the scheme.

As a result, new participants are stuck with products that they bought when they got into the business in the first place.

The product are way below the market value in relation to the high entry fees paid by them.

Should the pyramid scheme collapse, there is no way for the participants to recover their “investments”.

7) Knowingly deceiving people

Promoters of a pyramid scheme are engaging in fraud, knowingly deceiving participants in the schemes.

Some promoter of pyramid scheme will also tell you upfront that it is a business plan for short term only.

8) Have to buy lots of stock

Participants in a pyramid scheme have no choice but indulge in inventory loading in the beginning.

This is the high fees to participate in the scheme.

You may also be required to buy stock every week or every month.

9) Business is based on recruiting only

Participation is essentially based on recruiting, not necessarily on the sale of products or services.

10) Outlawed in many countries

Pyramid schemes have been outlawed throughout the United States and many countries around the world.

It is the same here in Malaysia.

Finding Leads For My BE International Networking Business

Where do I go to find customer and potential business partner leads for my BE International network marketing business? 

The following are 6 sources of targeted leads for my BE business.

Above is a picture of me and my husband when we went to Hong Kong Disneyland.

Our trip was fully sponsored by BE International when we qualified for 2 tickets through the BE Lifestyle Travel (BELT) campaign.

I joined BE International as a member back in December 2017.

My husband and I made a decision to build our network marketing business by partnering with BE International in March 2018.

From then onwards, we became active BE distributors and the company’s active Independent Business Owner (IBO).

The BE business opportunity has a wide range of product for the health and wellness market.

The range of product from the company consist of:

- Aulora Series with Kodenshi garment (Aulora Pants, Aulora Socks, Aulora Panties, Aulora Boxer, - Aulora Basic Top, Aulora Scarf, Aulora Arm Sleeves and Aulora Seamless Bra)

- Belixz functional food product (Shiruto, I-Vxion, Livcore, Befil, SlendMeal Pro, SlendGlow, Zencoso and Collagen Plus)

- Beyul Skin Care Series with Postbiotics from South Korea

- Beyang Fast Moving Consumer Good (FMCG)

As active BE distributors, we have personally used all the product from BE.

Sources of targeted business leads

When building the BE business, it is very important you have constant supply of business leads.

In the following section, I will share with you 6 sources where I find targeted leads for my BE International network marketing / multi level marketing (MLM) business.

There are 2 types leads that you have to generate. These are:

Product related leads

- Business opportunity leads

- For the first step, which type of leads do you want to generate?

For the product related leads, you may be looking for people who are keen to try the Aulora Pants, Aulora Socks, Shiruto, Befil etc.

As for business opportunity leads, you may be looking for people who are keen to start a low cost and low risk part time business.

After you have decided what type of leads that you want, I will share with you 6 sources where you can find them.

These are the same online and offline sources that I focus my time on to generate leads for my BE International business and ultimately convert them into my customers and my business partners.

All of the leads sources are simple, easy and most important, these sources are Free!

Are you ready? Let’s begin!

1) Warm market

When you’ve started your BE International business, why not tell your family and friends about it.

Your warm market already knows you, therefore just share with them the benefits of the product that you are selling.

For me, the earliest customers for my business when I first got started were my mother, my sisters and my sister-in-laws

They trusted me on my recommendation and therefore were willing to buy the Aulora Pants with Kodenshi from me.

2) Warm market referrals

The next source of leads for your BE International business should be referrals from your relatives and friends.

After trying the Aulora Pants, my mother actually referred a lady to me.

She is the auntie selling prawn noodles at the market that my mother used to go to for breakfast.

I called her, made an appointment to see her, shared with her the benefits of the Aulora Pants and ultimately she bought one pair from me.

Therefore, warm market referral is a good source of leads for your BE business.

3) Facebook friends

Do you know how many people are connected to you as Friends on your Facebook account?

Go through all your FB friend list and Personal Message (PM) them.

Tell them you have an amazing product you want to share with them.

4) Facebook groups

When you’ve ran out of warm market leads, the next source of leads is to reach out to people in Facebook groups.

The trick here is to find discussion groups which are related to the product you are selling.

For example, if you want to promote the Aulora Pants, why not join Facebook groups for mothers.

Remember, you don’t join these groups to sell your product.

You should start applying some “Inbound Attraction Marketing” strategy on FB groups.

Be active in the groups and help with answering questions.

Send out friend request to the members of the FB group.

When they accepted your friend request, start to cultivate a friendship.

After they got to know you, you can start to share with them your product and also the BE business opportunity.

5) Instagram

Another source of leads for your business is Instagram.

In the Instagram app, start to follow mini influencers.

Comments and ask question on pictures they’ve posted.

You should also start posting pictures of the BE product you are selling on your Instagram account.

The objective here is to start building friendship and relationship.

6) Networking events

In terms of offline leads source, you can start attending networking events.

These are networking meetup which you can attend for free.

For example, you can attend events organised by BNI Malaysia.

You can also search for networking events using meetup.com/.

The objective of going to such events is to gather as many name cards and contacts as possible and follow up with them later.

Remember, you don’t go to these events to sell, you just want to collect their contact details.

Conclusion

There you have it, 6 sources to generate leads for your BE International business.

Generating leads is the first step in the network marketing business building pipeline.

There are 6 steps in the business pipeline. The steps are:

1) Lead generation

2) Contacting the lead

3) Making appointment either on online Zoom meeting or offline meeting

4) Doing your presentation

5) Follow up with your prospect

6) Your prospect will either say Yes and become your customer or say No.

After you’ve gone through the business pipeline, you go back to Step 1 (Lead generation) again.

The diagram below is an illustration of the business pipeline.

There are many more sources of leads which you can try but the most important part is to take action.

When you managed to generate new leads, contact them immediately!

If you want to build a BE International business in Malaysia, you don’t need a massive contact list.

You need an automated system that builds trust before you ever speak.

Aulora Pants Business Review: Is It Still Worth Joining in 2026? (A Real Case Study)

If you’re reading this Aulora Pants business review, you’ve probably seen the testimonies on social media and wondered, 'Is this just another MLM hype, or is there a genuine business opportunity here?"

I asked myself the exact same question back in December 2017 when I was first introduced to the Aulora Pants.

The problem that Aulora Pants with Kodenshi solves

​A good business needs a product that actually solves a problem. 

The Aulora Pants solve one health issue which is slow body blood circulation.

Wearing the Aulora Pants can help to improve blood circulation by utilising two technologies:

1) Kodenshi far infrared ray (FIR) emitting fabric from Japan

2) Segmented compression design

There is no doubt that the Aulora Pants with the Kodenshi far infrared ray emitting garment can help to improve blood circulation because there are clinical studies proving it.

There are also numerous user's testimonials shared on social media.

But is selling the Aulora Pants a viable business model?

Based on my personal experience selling and marketing the pants since December 2017, building a network marketing business with Aulora Pants as the core product is a viable business model.

Please allow me to explain with a case study.

The Aulora Pants business case study (The core proof)

In early May 2026, a prospect landed on my main website known as Mommy Lynn Blog.

She read the educational content I wrote about how Belixz Livcore can help to maintain liver health.

Belixz Livcore is one of the best selling functional food product for liver health from BE International.

Through that piece of content, she reached out to me via WhatsApp.

Above is a screen capture of the initial WhatsApp message.

The prospect’s name is Pn. A.

I have to hide her full name for privacy purposes.

Registered as an official member of BE International

On the 22nd of May 2026, Pn. A expressed interest of becoming a member of BE International.

In order to register as a member of BE, she needs a sponsor.

I sent her my sponsor link through WhatsApp and Pn. A completed the EKYC and member registration process.

Above is a screen capture of the BE International member registration payment invoice.

In the invoice, you can see the “Sales Kit Malaysia” item.

All new BE member registration will receive a kit with the latest product price list, product leaflet and 3 pieces of Beyul Facial Moisturising Mask imported from South Korea.

BE International customer's first purchase order

Within 24 hours of joining, Pn. A ordered 1 box of Belixz Shiruto and 1 bottle of Belixz Livcore.

Belixz Shiruto is also one of the top selling functional food product for immune system health from BE International.

Above is her Belixz Shiruto and Belixz Livcore order invoice.

Buying the Aulora Pants with Kodenshi Twin Pack

After 3 weeks, Pn. A expressed her interest on the Aulora Pants on WhatsApp.

She then proceeded to order 2 pieces of the Aulora Pants with Kodenshi size M women design.

Above is a screen capture of Pn. A’s interest to buy 2 pieces of the Aulora Pants.

Above is Pn.A’s order invoice for 2 pieces of the Aulora Pants women design.

Because she bought the Aulora Pants women Twin Pack, she will receive 1 box of Belixz SlendMeal Pro as a free gift. SlendMeal Pro is another popular meal replacement drink product from BE International.

Why the “Mommy Lynn Funnel” works?

Pn. A, the prospect in the above case study didn’t find me through on online paid ads.

She found me through an educational blog post I published that has answered a specific question she had about one of BE International’s product.

Through the post, there were sufficient trust which led her to reach out to me through the WhatsApp direct link which I’ve included at the bottom of the post.

I sent her the BE International sponsor link and guided her through the member registration process.

Starting with the affordable and high-turnover daily wellness products like Belixz Shiruto and Belixz Livcore established trust on the product and the company.

When trust was established, naturally it paves the way for her to invest in the premium product which is the Aulora Pants with Kodenshi from Japan.

If you want to build a BE International business in Malaysia, you don’t need a massive contact list.

You need an automated system that builds trust before you ever speak.

A Former IT Consultant’s Success Journey In The BE International Business

In this article, I will share with you an inspirational story of an IT consultant and his wife who is a medical officer in Malaysia building a thriving business using the BE International business opportunity locally and globally.

They are Kumar and Dr. Shan.

Above is a picture of my husband, me, RCCA Kumar and Dr. Shan.

Which direct selling business has Kumar and Dr. Shan chosen to partner with?

It is none other than BE International based in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

What is BE International?

BE International is one of the fastest growing direct selling company in Malaysia.

BE International currently has its international business operation and distribution channel in Singapore, Brunei, Hong Kong and Indonesia.

BE International with its global aspiration is a member of reputable direct selling association such as:

Direct Selling Association of Malaysia (DSAM)

Direct Selling Association of Singapore (DSAS)

Indonesian Direct Selling Association (APLI)

Hong Kong Retail Management Association (HKRMA)

Similar to other direct selling companies in the world, BE International also has its distributor’s ranking system.

What are BE International distributor’s rankings?

The rankings are:

Independent Business Owner (IBO)

Ambassador

Sapphire Ambassador

Ruby Ambassador

Emerald Ambassador

Diamond Ambassador

Crown Ambassador

Royal Crown Council Ambassador (RCCA)

The highest ranking in the BE business is the Royal Crown Council Ambassador or RCCA.

Now that you know the different ranking in BE International, I will share with you the story of Kumar and Dr. Shan.

What is their ranking with BE International?

Of course, it is RCCA!

They are the first BE International Indian RCCA rank couple in Malaysia.

What was Kumar's professional career before he joined BE International?

Kumar started his career working as an IT consultant almost 20 years ago.

Back then, his monthly salary was only RM2760.

He had to work more than 5 years just to reach that level of pay.

If he were to continue working as an IT consultant, he might be only earning RM5000 – RM6000 a month right now.

But with his BE business, his monthly income now is many times more.

After more than 15 years in the direct selling industry, Kumar’s biggest dream is to grow his business overseas.

He wants to have an international business.

According to Kumar, “The richest people in the world look for and build networks, everyone else looks for jobs.”

That was the saying by a successful entrepreneur that inspired Kumar to quit his 5 years IT consultant work and go into business for himself.

His dreams are simple.

He wants to give a better life for his mother and achieve financial and time freedom.

Kumar is now aiming for the global market and he’ll do it using the business platform offer by BE International.

Why Kumar and Shan put so much trust on BE International?

According to Kumar, BE provides not just amazing product and the e-platform, but it has one invaluable success factor – its founders.

The founders of BE International are successful leaders with decades of experience in the direct sales industry and they are leading with one focused mission.

The mission of the company is to go “Beyond Inspiring Minds, Touching Lives for Eternity”.

At BE, Kumar and his wife are always learning new things and their dreams are getting bigger day by day.

As for Dr. Shan, her focus in their business is more on health reasons.

Being a medical officer with the Malaysia Ministry of Health, Dr. Shan advocates treating people by not replying solely on medicine, but other proven safe non-invasive treatment.

What attracted Dr. Shan to the business is one of BE’s product, the Aulora Pants with Kodenshi from Japan.

The Aulora Pants has helped to resolve many health issues.

According to Dr. Shan, “Something so amazing must be shared!”

Kumar also understood that direct selling is the new trend.

Nowadays, running a direct selling business is considered a viable career, unlike years ago when people would frown upon it.

With the new norm and booming business market, direct selling has now become a megatrend.

However, to take advantage of the new megatrend, it is very important for you to partner with the right company.

Which company will help you succeed the fastest in direct selling?

Anyone can become successful in online direct sale but how long will it take and how far can you go?

For Kumar and Dr. Shan, their choice is BE International.

My personal experience and journey with BE International

My career path is very similar to Kumar and Dr. Shan.

When I’ve completed my university studies in Australia, I came back to Malaysia and straight away went into employment.

I was a Human Resource (HR) manager and also the personal assistant to the executive director of a stationary manufacturing company in Kuala Lumpur.

However, I resigned from my job when I got married to my husband and became a full time housewife and mother.

After more than 6 years not working, I tried to get back into employment but was unsuccessful due to my 6+ years gap of not working.

Out of desperation, I had to start a home business.

Without having much capital nor business or sales experience, I decided to make use of the business platform offered by BE International.

Back then, I was looking for a solution to help relieve my back ache and leg cramps.

I was told that the Aulora Pants with Kodenshi, the main product from BE International, can help and I decided to give it a try.

After wearing the Aulora Pants for a week, I found that the pants did help to relieve my back ache and leg cramps.

That gave me confidence to start sharing the Aulora Pants with my friends and family members.

I joined BE International back in December 2017. My husband and I made a decision to seriously build our BE business In March 2018.

Above is a picture of me in front of BE International Ipoh, Perak Business Centre.

My husband and I went to Ipoh regularly to service our customers.

Though we are based in Kuala Lumpur, we regularly go to Ipoh to help our downlines and business partners to grow their BE business.

We help them to conduct home parties, one to one meetings and also product and BE business system training.

As of today, I have achieved the Crown Council Ambassador or CCA ranking with BE International.

My next goal is to achieve the Royal Crown Council Ambassador (RCCA)…just like Kumar and Dr. Shan.
