The firm has also claimed that there is evidence to suggest that the app is an illegal pyramid scheme, with members being charged $49.99 a month to join.

Indeed. Affiliate marketing is another term for multi-level marketing, which itself offers a thin veneer of legitimacy to a more typical pyramid scheme.
