TelexFree
In December 2014, a class-action lawsuit was filed alleging, among other things, that TelexFree is operating a pyramid scheme and deceptively representing that promoters make money by posting advertisements when they actually make money by recruiting new members. (Abdelgadir et al v. TelexElectric, LLLP et al, Case No. 14-cv-9857, S. D. NY.).
