MY MELALEUCA SAGA…

Our Melaleuca “TEAM” built a Multi-Million-Dollar + business over a sixteen year period. Truth is, I grew sick and tired of the “Complication Plan,™ changes, takeaways, the Mela-culture, discrimination concerns, negative press Melaleuca’s litigious history, Franks political stance, suppression of peoples constitutional rights, all of it!” I remember a Melaleuca event- hundreds of us “ME’s” attended … Frank was asking us to get our wallets out and give to the“Romney,pac… our choice of course. However, Frank’s negative take on “Borracho Obama” was very unnerving … I personally didn’t care for his antics in a split room of key leaders.? SMH! One thing I was clear on, I wanted no part of; Frank VanderSloot and/or Mitt Romney in power together. The average person has no idea of the implications of that force. Besides, I love Obama! I’ll be ready for change in 2016 “May the first lady win!” ~KK

Back to the complication plan (I’ll cover more of that other farce later) Next I documented Melaleuca’s deceptive [Residual Income Claims] i.e. Check Copies,reports etc. Here’s what I proved about Mela’s [RBI™] scheme. If you don’t “Pander” to the “Recruiting-Requirements” your so-called “Residual Income” from your Matrix, MLM-group, downline~tree, will go to “0” Yup a “BIG FAT “0″ In 90 days” my check’s went from around $7,500.00 monthly to well-under $200 hundred monthly,. In other words, “you can’t stop recruiting, infact it’s mathematically impossible for most (ME’s) to hit the executive and corporate positions! (“Hello!”)

Facts are facts, and if you stop recruiting… your “recruiting-income™” will likely not even cover your product orders regardless of the size of your Mela-business. CHECK IT!… Check your [TRI™] true residual income. Here’s how you, CHECK IT! Stop recruiting for 90 days, I dare ya.. and if you “CHECK IT!…please come share, I coined it “NoRecruitNoPay™” However, you may be paid on you (PE’s)(“Personal Enrollments” capped at $100.00 w/o recruiting-points™ in most cases – refer to “Mela’s Compensation Plan”… aka “The Complication Plan” I first heard the term at a melaleuca event. You can’t make this stuff up. “Bottomline, you get paid for recruiting and helping others recruit! “Recruits=Pay!” #NoRecruitNoPay™ I truly don’t understand how Melaleuca…. flies under the radar on these issues? What a travesty of justice – Hence, complete, sham! Think it’s the “We’re not MLM” fairy-dust tales… that must keep Mela in compliance, and under the radar… or soft-money? you decide? Maybe it’s Trolls?

I pray the FTC, investigates my concerns…. and resolve this sham once and for all! FTC *how many people do you have to recruit? “You drinking the Kool-Aid?” :)

Wait, there’s more… around three months after I documented Melaleuca’s [TRI™] I got canned with a phone call from “alan pariser” note lower case) Get this “pariser” had the nerve to threaten me with a restraining order! Symbolic of Melaleuca’s culture. Again, don’t take my word for it, CHECK IT!~> Melaleuca Restraining Orders <~ don’t be shy go for it!

For the record; I was losing close family and friends – begging them desperately and repeatedly to reup.. recycling is “common practice in the point for pay or/ NoRecruitNoPay™ mela-comp-plan.“ However, gotta pander to the point scheme or lose your check! And you can’t imagine how dreadful the thought of recruiting or exposing new blood into “A” culture you -despise, is? Get this – if your recruits bail or drop-out within 90 days – Melaleuca takes your recruiting points away…yup, seriously, it’s complete madness! The reality is, you could be required to enroll six recruits or more in some months to get paid… depending on how many recruits you lose in any given month…You can’t make this stuff up! Three letters… #FTC one word Intervention! “You have a billion dollar MLM hurting crushing people” Check it! And, good hearted people are being recruited under false and misleading pretenses. Meaning with bogus statement s “like Melaleuca, denys a all ties to the MLM industry “People feel foolish when they show up to a home event only to realize it’s just another MLM sham, glittered up!

Get this, Melaleuca made huge, and horrifying changes to the complication plan recently - in nutshell, ‘many of us ME’s had to scramble and recruit even more recruits and/or Directors, “customers with eight customers” or their “Recruiting Checks” would be cut in half or more! And Frank and Melaleuca fed it to the field as a promotion. Very Deceptive! That was the tipping point for me….I decided then that I wouldn’t be drinking the Kool-Aid! any longer. “I” never cashed a Mela-Check after that day) nope, no more pandering for me. Also, that income take-away was a clear breach of our contract, a game changer indeed Sir! So, I quit pandering to the greed that day, and my MLM group commissions went to “0” in “90” days, I have the documents to prove it! Melaleuca is unconscionably deceptive and misleading in their marketing practices and the use of the term “residual income” ruthless? you better believe it!

I have never heard a Melaleuca presentation covering the “NoRecruitNoPay™” points scheme ever! Oh no, contraire.. It’s all glittered up with fairy dust, razzle~dazzle, smoke, mirrors, and illusions of retiring with residual income and security! Three letters… #FTC three words “protect the people!” America’s Top 100 Land Owners #94 *Champions of the little guy… Check it! Take away from the “little-guys so you have more soft money for your buddies! That’s the way I see it. “Truth in Advertising~What ever happened to it?”

Wait there’s more… Melaleuca, Inc. published a booklet showcasing glossy pictures of folks like myself “No Permissions granted” advancing in statuses, in some cases, like mine, multiple advancements. All staged to showcase how wonderful, amazing, and of course a showing of – Frank’s huge, giving, and generous soul. Pure fabrication, and pure lunacy I may add… Check it here and please note “IME’s / independent marketing executives, ‘referred to as employees” When I first saw this publication… I knew they had over clearly jumped into deep waters and it would indeed come back full circle to look ‘em in the eyes Justice . Huge contractual breach! FTC Truth in Advertising! I’ll take it a step further… Melaleuca, Inc. had already breached my contract prior to this publication going into play! In other words… it violated my rights… forget the fact for a minute that the “New advancement showcase booklet it’s self is a total sham! Melaleuca, Inc. put me and many others ME’s like me the face of their shameless sham… daddy no like. You can’t make this stuff up! “Arrogance and greed at its finest” ~KK “A bucket of new enrollments” What caused the T-0 “The Big Bang effect” “The Assault on Workers’ Freedom”

I never use thee “I” in (IME) it’s a big fat lie…Your Independents is lost – not gained in the “NoRecruitNoPay™“ farce. And to this day Melaleuca has gotten away with it all! The shame and sham runs deep! Check it! “I pray for relief for the little guys. ~KK

See Frank Vandersloot’s new comp plan presentation here ~> Super duper comp plan changes I was smart enough to understand he breached our contract with his shameless sham. I never cashed his checks after that change. (I call it the “MELA BANG EFFECT!” ) We helped make this guy a very rich man and he abuses us like we are nothing. “That’s how I see it – and I’m on point! Checkout Mela-reps income claims here. Mela-product testimonials here!

After I was terminated via phone call by “alan pariser” btw – Melaleuca denies this fact of course… real shocker! Melaleuca, stopped my $123.00 “NoRecruitNoPay” checks, and continued hitting my bank account for BOGUS fees relating to the Melaleuca business… i.e, International fees and reports, so.. I called my bank which happens to be Melaleuca’s bank i.e., Wells Fargo, and filed a formal complaint. The following day, Wells Fargo sided with me and credited my account back for two separate charges. However, Melaleuca. Inc. hit my account a third time! So of course I had to jump through all the hoops a call Wells Fargo, and melaleuca a second time, and I was livid! You can’t make this stuff up.. ‘Ridiculous’ all *Documented With “Wells Fargo” and Melaleuca. CHECK IT..TWICE.. and don’t drink the Kool-Aid! :)’ ~e~ Melaleuca bank charge complaints.

“When “alan pariser” called and terminated me… I said to him; does this mean I don’t get my $123.00 checks any more? ) He doesn’t like folks like me to expose his hogwash and replace it with truth and facts! He went on a rant ” you did this to yourself…. you could of had that $10’000’00 monthly residuals for life.” Quack Quack Quack…!!! Again, you can’t make this stuff up! I’m just not that good at fiction… Albeit, I am a good student, and I have a great sense of Quackery… so, then I asked “pariser” if he understood the fact that he was aiding in the violation of human rights? However, “He sees things differently.” That’s when I told him he had no soul! alan pariser once told me that his father hates Melaleuca, and he believes it is nothing but a Scam…”Put me on a put me on a lie detector…. no concerns whatsoever! Integrity is my most valuable trait…. that was very telling of his father! My personal belief is; – “alan pariser” is likely the most Pretentious, Arrogant, Troll I have ever met. ~KK

“The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it, ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is.” – Winston Churchill

“I pray for just relief… and may the Feds discover for themselves what’s really going on at Melaleuca, Inc.” ~KK

“People say you can get in but you can never get out! Think about it…. Melaleuca sues it’s distributors when they have had enough and leave. Most go competing MLM’s, why? it simple… because Melaleuca is a “MLM” that’s what they know and have mastered! Frank -VanderSloot, battles to strip us of our rights. ..Truth is, he get’s away with it because he has deep pockets from people like me who he destroys with his shameless, hurtful practices. CHECK it.. I made it easy for you ~> Melaleuca lawsuits, discrimination, complaints, harassments, denies all ties to MLM, Melaleuca silences it’s critics

Keynote; The travesty of injustices that Melaleuca has gotten away with clearly exemplifies the over reaching and the abusing of our legal system, Sad truth is – the very system in place to protect us, he leverages to cripple and silence us defectors, very effectively, indeed! nothing like calling on you buddies… and other Corporate tools to silence the “little guy” The MLM injustice machine demobilized as a matter of our childrens future and freedoms! ~KK

My guess is, any 3rd grader could understand the difference between traditional business and a “MLM”multi-level marketing company…. So I ask the FTC. to consider that concept!

Word of the day, Malfeasance… Check it!

Update “Melaleuca, lies” When pariser terminated me with [The Phone Call].. I was on speaker phone… and (I have witness to his words) and our conversations, just a another ~Whitewash, and he’s still preaching the same old Residual Income Tales! I swear to god, I never received a letter from Melaleuca. See Melaleuca’s lame, ridiculous, SLOPPY… response via BBB regarding my complaint!” I do admit to the earnings, albeit huge expenses and cost of doing business “i.e., Pandering to the “Complication-Plan™” reality is much less of a grand love story.

“Stellar is less then common practice in the mela-camp.”~KK “Check it!” you decide? everyone should do their own ‘Due diligence!,

I pray “The FED’s/FTC look seriously into Melaleuca’s business practices! “alan pariser” is the puppet master of delivering, and believing his own hogwash. I have all his recruiting materials from day one, and In my opinion Melaleuca, Inc. has a [RBI™] recruiting based income pay-scheme in play “NoRecruitNoPay™” 90 days to “0” all glitterd up with fairy dust!

“Go sell your ~MLM~ residual income tales mela-peddlers, and do sleep well my friends.” ~KK

btw *Ask Frank VanderSloot and/or the management team about the “LGBT” couple
in “our THE DOWNLINE” from Northern California, every year for years, in tears because they were denied the right of being on stage together becauses they are “LGBT” You can’t make this stuff up! >>~> Apparently, most of the leaders are painfully aware of this fact, but not Frank Vandersloot or his company Melaleuca. SMH! http://www.salon.com/2012/02/1… unreal! Do your own thinking here. Now if you’re a bigot go watch your Fox news. If you really care get involved! And trust me, I’ll be on Franks hit list for exercising my “First Amendment Rights” and by hit list I’m talking about him trying to “silencing the whistleblower” one way or another. However, I have a unwavering resolve to protect others from pain and suffering!

And I’ll take my case to To the President of the United States if necessary ~KK:)

February 2, 2015 ~>Below is Melaleuca’s response to my “BBB” complaint – also, the BBB denied my complaint as being Not Relevant – BBB Serving the Snake River Region (Boise, ID) 425 N.

Re: Ken Klocke, Case #10405883

Dear Ms. Gillihan:
We recently received a notice from your office regarding a concern expressed by Ken Klocke.Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention and allowing us the opportunity to respond.

Mr. Klocke enrolled as an Independent Marketing Executive in January 1998 and remained a Marketing Executive until his voluntary resignation in 2014. During that period, Melaleuca paid Mr. Klocke a total of $2,176,861 in commissions. Melaleuca’s Independent Marketing Executive Agreement entitled Mr. Klocke to receive commissions as long as he abided by Melaleuca’s Statement of Policies.

In May 2014, Melaleuca received allegations and documentation that Mr. Klocke was attempting to recruit Melaleuca Customers and Marketing Executives to another business venture, which is a violation of Policy 20 of Melaleuca’s Statement of Policies. On May 22, 2014, Melaleuca’s Policy Administration sent Mr. Klocke a letter notifying him of the allegations and requested his response to those allegations. To date, Melaleuca has never received a response from Mr. Klocke about the allegations. Instead, rather than respond, on June 18, 2014, Mr. Klocke simply submitted his voluntary resignation. (A copy of Mr. Klocke’s resignation letter is attached for reference.) Melaleuca complied with Mr. Klocke’s request and cancelled his account.

In light of Mr. Klocke’s voluntary resignation, Policy Administration did not proceed with any investigation of potential contract or policy violations. Mr. Klocke’s customer account has remained inactive since June 2014. To our knowledge, Mr. Klocke has never tried to contact Melaleuca since then. Until your notice informing us of his complaint, we were unaware that Mr. Klocke had any concerns. Since receiving your notice, Melaleuca has tried to reach out several times to Mr. Klocke to learn more about his concerns. To date, he has not answered or returned any of our calls.

Some of Mr. Klocke’s allegations in his complaint to the BBB are puzzling to us. For example, his assertion that Alan Pariser terminated him simply cannot be true. We know Mr. Pariser. Mr. Pariser is an Independent Marketing Executive in good standing with Melaleuca. But Mr. Pariser has never been an employee of Melaleuca and could never have had authorization to terminate Mr. Klocke. Since Mr. Klocke has not returned our phone calls to date we have been unable to learn any more about that allegation. To our knowledge Mr. Klocke simply resigned.

Indeed “glitter boy” would never do wrong with his stellar reputation… I believe pariser and Melaleuca have had greatly benefited off the backs of good people have been driven out of Melaleuca one way or another. Check it!” Footnote,

———————————————————————————————————————————–
page 2 of 2 of Melaleuca, reply to BBB

His voluntary resignation was the only response that we have received to the allegations that he had breached Melaleuca’s policy. Had he disputed the allegations, Melaleuca would have done a complete review and investigation of the facts before taking any disciplinary action.

We have reached out on several occasions to contact Mr. Klocke to discuss any potential resolution to any legitimate concerns he may have. To date, Mr. Klocke has failed to respond to us in any way. If you have any further questions, you may contact Melaleuca.

Sincerely, “Wayne Billman”
Director of Customer Care and Business Development

btw, “Wayne Billman” Ask your golden boy… what happened to my enroller Dave Rizzo? Hmmm… David, just quietly went away… no good buy or nothing! “10g fact or fiction?” wonder if David got a 1099…?

Let me (KK) clear things up here. I called Melaleuca and disputed the bogus fees charged by them and I made it crystal-clear that after I was terminated by “alan pariser” via phone… it was unconscionable that Melaleuca continue to hit my account for bogus charges. Melaleuca records all calls so it will be interesting to see if those specific calls are on record? Also not once did the phone agent deny I was terminated! I sense a “Whitewash” in progress here.

Furthermore, I called Melaleuca on the first of February 2015 and was on the phone for a lengthy time… I asked if anyone from Melaleuca was trying to contact me? because I had a Melaleuca call on my caller id … she “the customer service rep put me on hold for several minutes… came back and said; sorry sir I can’t find anything here in customer service. I suggested several things like… check with the legal department, I was put on hold… she came back, ‘sorry sir I can’t find anything here! Well, well, well…. ain’t that something! Quackery, Wackery… they have more holes in their story then I can keep track of! “Whitewash”and I’d love a three-way call with “The golden boy… I want to personally hear him perjure, lie, and try to whitewash the truth about his terminating me via phone call.

Note: I did terminate my customer account a month or two later after “alan pariser – terminated me “ONLY BECAUSE OF BOGUS, continual charges to my account for – International fees, monthly report fees.. I stated in my termination letter that I was resigning my customer account under much duress and without prejudice!! “One thing holds true… Melaleuca has it’s own rule-book! Check it!

————————————————————————————————————————————

Now, let’s talk about my *BBB complaint and their response! “We have closed this complaint as invalid.” Surprise, surprise, surprise…SMH! “shaking my head” “Go sell your Ratings-,” we aren’t MLM fiction!” We need the #FTC to decide if Melaleuca is misleading the public with the tales of we aren’t MLM “Respectfully ~KK (get MLM Attorney Kevin Thompson’s professional point of view on the subject of why Melaleuca “is” indeed a MLM! How others feel about Melaleuca not being MLM.

“Whoever is careless with the truth in small matters cannot be trusted with important matters.” – Albert Einstein. “Melaleuca claiming to not be “MLM” is no small matter.” ~KK

————————————————————————————————————————————BBB/Melaleuca response.

Dear Ken Klocke:

This message is in regard to your complaint submitted on 1/15/2015 10:03:48 PM against Melaleuca, Inc. Your complaint was assigned ID 10405883.

After careful review, the BBB has determined that there was no marketplace interaction with this business warranting a complaint that falls within our purview. Therefore, we have closed this complaint as invalid. I would truly like transparency on how many other “credible” BBB-Mela-complaints are broomed under the rug as not credible?

If you wish to pursue this further, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Samantha Gillihan
