The return of Mr. MLM

A couple weeks passed since I last heard from Mr. MLM. Then a new question appeared in our queue, having to do with tracking down a man who is supposedly living in the Philippines. Mr. MLM is apparently trying to find someone who owes him money (or something). Someone answered him (not I, I learned my lesson) by mailing the contact information for the U.S. Embassy in Manila, along with some other information.

A couple days later, Mr. MLM apparently came into the library. He said he lost the information that was mailed to him, and could someone please track it down for him again. When the person helping him had trouble finding exactly the same information, Mr. MLM became flustered, and said we should keep copies of everything we sent to people through the mail. Little does he realize that most people we help have access to email (which I am convinced he does too and simply refuses to give his address to us) so that we can easily forward along links and attach documents for them. He is one of a handful of annoying people who generally refuse to come to the library to pick up information we find, and insist that we mail it.

However, he was convinced that it was somehow our fault that he lost the information we mailed, and our responsibility to track it down again. The poor staff member did the best he could. Then, just before Mr. MLM left, he pulled two unopened envelopes out of his pocket.

"Can you find me information on these companies?" he asked.

The envelopes had information on them promising that "you, too, could make thousands at home in your spare time." I guess that solves the mystery of the pyramid scheme research requests.
