Len, I'm sorry you've become a victim of yet another Multi Level Marketing rip-off. You probably believed the hard sell you were given. Tell me.. how much did they make you pay up-front to become a distributor?
A person on another website wrote this, regarding what LenBias is trying to push:
Dear Agel Rep,
Why sell gel when u can give your account number and some dude in nigeria will t/t millions (YES.. MILLIONS of US$) of dollars to your account?
All they ask is that u return some to them (probably somewhere in the region of 75%-90% for your favor!)

Len, you said lots of people make money in MLM-- well... the truth is.. the only people who make "lots of money" are the people who start these scams and are at the very, very, very top of the food chain.
There was another MLM scam going around where I work called Meliluca. These people had drunk the kool aide and were trying to recruit, non-stop.. even at my company on company time! They are truly brainwashed, and it's really quite scarey.
People in my company complained to HR, and these people were banned from bugging anyone at work. So they took their pitch outside of their jobs.. they were bugging their family, their friends, EVERYONE to join (there was little money in selling the product-- it was all about recruiting bodies and getting them to pay up front for the products each new rep were forced to buy and got stuck with!)
Five years later-- none of these people had made any money. All gave up, and all lost hundreds of dollars.
