Collective Legal Action Against Fraudulent MLMs

(Money Circulation/Mathematically Unviable and Unregistered Collective Investment Schemes)

Across India, millions of individuals have suffered substantial financial losses due to fraudulent multilevel marketing (MLM) schemes and unregistered collective investment operations. While these schemes often present themselves as legitimate business opportunities, they are illegal money-circulation schemes designed to exploit public trust and financial vulnerability. What renders these fraudulent operations particularly formidable is the considerable financial and organisational resources they command, resources that victims, having been defrauded, no longer possess. Perpetrators routinely deploy such resources to obstruct investigations, influence procedural outcomes, and evade legal accountability only to start a new MLM fraud. Individual victims, when acting in isolation, may find themselves at a significant disadvantage. However, collective legal action presents a demonstrably more effective pathway to justice and asset recovery. Strategy India has maintained a sustained commitment to combating MLM fraud through the publication of advanced fraud alerts, investigative analysis, and legal support for affected victims. We now invite victims nationwide to participate in a coordinated legal and advocacy initiative to ensure accountability, expedite investigations, and secure restitution.

The Importance of Collective Legal Representation

  • A single complaint may be deprioritised; collective representations command institutional attention and action.
  • Consolidated complaints assist law enforcement agencies in comprehending the full scale and severity of financial crimes, thereby facilitating comprehensive investigations.
  • Organised victim associations enhance legal standing and bargaining power, leading to more effective judicial and administrative remedies.
  • Collective engagement ensures that investigations are conducted transparently, fairly, and free from undue external influence.

Our Legal and Strategic Services

  • Facilitate the formation and coordination of victim associations to enable unified legal representation and advocacy.
  • Provide comprehensive legal support, including drafting of complaints, representation before authorities, and strategic case management.
  • File collective criminal complaints, writ petitions, and intervention applications before competent courts, tribunals, and regulatory authorities.
  • Conduct asset tracing to identify promoters, directors, key employees, and beneficiaries, followed by applications for attachment and confiscation of assets in furtherance of restitution claims.
  • Engage proactively with investigating agencies, economic offences wings, and competent authorities to ensure procedural compliance and timely action.
  • Disseminate verified legal advisories and scam alerts to educate the public and prevent further victimisation.

This initiative represents not only a legal remedy but also a structured movement toward accountability, transparency, and public awareness. Every victim who comes forward strengthens the evidentiary foundation and amplifies the collective demand for justice. Every shared testimony contributes to a broader understanding of the modus operandi employed by fraudulent operators and enhances preventive measures.

Victims of fraudulent MLM or unregistered investment schemes, or individuals aware of such operations affecting family members or associates, are encouraged to contact Strategy India for confidential legal consultation and to be included in collective legal proceedings.

Please write to [email protected] with the subject line "MLM Scheme Victims" to initiate engagement.
