<p>Someone on Twitter followed me over the weekend and sent me an automated Direct Message to click a link to make money by only investing $6. So naturally, I was curious to see what this was all about. Low and behold it was your typical MLM scam on Facebook called &#8220;Chat To Text&#8221;.</p>
<p><strong>No.</strong> <strong>I am not linking out to this application</strong> as I am not writing this post to make myself millions of dollars and retire to some tropical island while being the &#8216;early adopter&#8217; of this MLM scam on Facebook.</p>
<p>What I want to highlight is the fact that of all applications MLM scams should NOT be allowed on Facebook. There already are a multitide of worthless applications and invitations that I get every day to install this application and  that application. This is the biggest feedback that I get from those that I speak to about applications on Facebook, the fact that they hate all of the invitiations they are bombarded with on a daily basis.</p>
<p>When a clever and innovative way to create a sticky application comes along such as the Whopper Sacrifice campaign it gets shut down.</p>
<p>Facebook please do not allow MLM scams.</p>
