LOS ANGELES – A California woman alleges she gave thousands to a skin care and dietary supplements company she alleges operates an illegal pyramid scheme.
Helen Xiong filed a complaint on behalf of herself and those similarly situated on Aug. 10 in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California against Jeunesse Global LLC, doing business as Jeunesse LLC; Kim Hui; and Does 1-10 alleging endless chain scheme and other counts.
According to the complaint, the plaintiff alleges Jeunesse represented to her that she could make money by recruiting others to become Jeunesse distributors. The suit states she participated in the defendant's endless chain beginning in August 2015.
She alleges she did not make money as promised and that the Jeunesse marketing plan rewards for recruitment over retail sales. The plaintiff alleges she paid the defendants $10,000 as part of the scheme.
The plaintiff holds Jeunesse Global LLC, Hui and Does 1-10 responsible because the defendants allegedly advertised Jeunesse as a business opportunity and engaged in unlawful, fraudulent and unfair business practices.
The plaintiff requests a trial by jury and seeks judgment against defendants, certification of the class and subclasses, rescission of the agreements, restitution and disgorgement of monies, injunctive relief, cost of suit, attorneys’ fees, and other relief as the court may deem just. She is represented by Blake J. Lindemann of Lindemann Law Firm APC in Beverly Hills, California.
