Is Xinbang Edible Fungi a pyramid scheme?

Xinbang Edible Fungi may be a pyramid scheme. Because the food company does not have a fixed office, it relies on word of mouth from relatives and friends. After packaging and promotion, a product that was only food grade turned out to be a panacea for treating many diseases.

Xinbang Edible Fungi is produced by Shandong Linyi Xinbang Biological Co., Ltd., but is sold by Wuhan Li'an Trading Co., Ltd. But they did not obtain a direct selling license.

The sales staff of Xinbang Edible Fungi said that the direct sales license is now being approved. The company was established in Taiwan in 1989. It was previously called Shenqi, then Kedengyong, Hanqi, and now Xinbang. This model has never changed, and the prices of its products have not changed since they entered the mainland.

The reporter reviewed the information and learned that as early as April 2002, the Shanghai Municipal Administration for Industry and Commerce had imposed sanctions on the Shenqi company established in Changning, Fengxian, Pudong New Area, Jiading, Yangpu and other districts due to suspected pyramid schemes. Eight branches of the company were completely banned.

In August 2012, the police in Hailun City, Heilongjiang Province shut down a MLM den. The predecessor of the company under investigation was the Shenqi Company mentioned by the salesperson. Later, it was transferred to a company called Shenqi Company. It was under the name of Ke Dengyong Company and was called Hong Kong Shengshi Company when it was investigated and dealt with.
