Boyd Parker the MLM Scammer

Boyd Parker, who is allegedly a mentor for entrepreneurship, is accused of engaging in dishonest business practices and operating several MLM (multi-level marketing) schemes that are passed off as startup businesses. Several people have accused him of deceiving job seekers by falsely portraying openings as management positions when they were door-to-door sales positions, frequently with long hours and little base pay. Parker’s businesses are said to regularly rename themselves to avoid detection, and he is charged with stifling criticism with dishonest methods and legal threats. Reviews on websites such as Glassdoor describe a lack of transparency regarding the nature of the work, a high turnover rate, lengthy working hours, and fictitious promises of career advancement. Allegations include putting them under pressure to keep a happy attitude despite unpleasant working conditions, isolating them from friends and family, and using coercive recruiting techniques. It has also been brought attention to Parker’s attempts to feign good evaluations on his website and pay articles to counterbalance negative ones. Parker is accused of putting more emphasis on growing his business and enriching himself than on attending to the needs of his victims, despite growing criticism.
