Purpose: To seek help and to take my money back within this week.

Hi, I was scammed last almost a week ago by a MLM, specifically named FrontRow International. They entered my money quickly in an account as I signed a slip, so when I need to take my money (amount of 4,000 php) because of some troubles in finance, they responded me that I can't take that amount of money just to return it to my sister, they said I have to sell their products for me to get some profit and to return that money. I have to report them now since one of them isn't responding to me anymore after a while.
