Which one do you sell for?

Read the info she sends, then tell her you are not interested. Please report back to us the product she is selling.

“I don’t buy products sold by friends”

Don’t be afraid to be direct or blunt. Mlm people prey on people, especially women, being too nice to say no.

I tell people that and specifically add that I don’t support MLMs

This. Vague requests like that are strategically so.

Just open it, and ignore. She'll see that you've read the message and are not interested. I did it with my cousin, and she got the message.

Haha, you lost me at "reply". I just ignore them all. Even the ones from my friends. I'll pretend I didn't notice the FB invite or the whatever. If they bring it up by text or in person I'll be like, "oh I'm not interested, but thanks". But a semi-friend on FB? Just ignore.

There are much better ways to help women out. Get a real job, become a boss, and hire more women for real jobs. MLM is a scheme.

This. Or, "I'm not interested in purchasing anything, if it is about that. But it was nice to hear from you," if you want a softer version. Then if pushed, follow up with the above.

Unfortunately, often they have a canned spiel about why this!new!exciting!thing is not actually an MLM. I leave it at "not interested in purchasing anything/don't buy from friends" just to avoid that icky conversation.

DCUM women hate on other women.

Sure, but just letting you know in advance that I never buy or sell MLM products.

No we don’t. We hate on vultures who try to prey on us and other women.

Support for an MLM is giving approval for large companies to take advantage of women!

“So good to hear from you. I’d love to catch up. So exciting that you are selling for MLM. Unfortunately, I’m not going to be able to support your exciting new venture. But I’d love to talk.”

"No" is a complete sentence. Just NO!
