BEWARE OF PYRAMID SCHEMES posing as a legitimate MLM

[jonz]

---

dili ko motuo ana health products labi na ug gi MLM/Network/pyramid...

mao lagi na nga ang tag 1piso nga puso, tatakan ug brand nila, dungagan dayon ug mga testimonies kunohay...mahimong 10pesos na.
ako auntie bro, sila man to main distributor or upline ba tawag ana sa usa ka known kaayo nga MLM/Network/pyramid product sa usa sa dakong ciudad dinhi sa Visayas...daghan to sila ug products(food supplements - they dont call them medicines kay mo alma ang BFAD)...nga makaayo kuno ug sakit, daghan testimonies(kuno)...sila mismo sige ug patronize sa mao nga products nila...hmmm, gilupig man sa diabetes....nag-complicate pa.

gi recruit ko adto nila...wala ko mohatag ug money, ni buy lang ko ug product nila (discounted - pero mahal gihapon)....pila kaha to ka litro ako nahurot nga aloevera gel o juice o extract ba to kay mao daw to ila best selling unya cure all or pinaka maayo with matching testimonies pa in print sa mga naayo na daw....asus! usa ka baril na gyud tingali to ako nahurot, wa gyud maayo...nisamot hinuon...TOINK! unya naa na pud lain product ila gi introduce kay mas maayo daw....wa nako ni buy. dili tingali ko wise buyer bro...hehehe

real networking is not recruiting sa ako lang nasabtan, its more on promoting products para mka profit pero kana pd product nga quality standard... if it is into supplement... ahem... bantay2x mo... dili baya tanan herbs mka au....dapat naay back up study para sure bsn maau ka sa iong sakit then mo cause cya ug laing sakit....

its a very good method of selling actually it was already used by big companies.... distribution method, kna refer2x then naa ky makuha or something in return that is network marketing... friendster is a method of network marketing.... really network marketing is a very good industry kaso naay ng hugaw2x mga scams mao bati ang impression ani but i strongly have high respect sa Industry...
careful

things to consider
company profile
track records
international awards and stability
income oppurtunities
method of earning
unlimited in building groups (dili kanang balance2x)--naa bdiay negosyo nga limited?hsta income limited ky balance2x
people who succed (kna dghn ndyd kau para daku ang chance)
incentive of the company
system (dili sa nka una kundi sa effort nga ihatag /effort=result)

excellent products
with back up scientific studies (dili lang storya2x.. claims2x kna naa dyd facts and figures & proven by science)
with 3rd party clinical studies ( kna lain nga medical institution ng ingun mga exellent dili ang tga sulod or ang manufacturer)
6s quality method (pharma grade pero natural supplement nga walay side effects)

i think murag mao na dapat i consider

unfortunately most filipinos are lazy and are easily seduced by the fast money and big houses and cars. for the least amount of work.

MLM companies that push product and not recruitment for profit are the REAL business, anything that says

hey if u get 2 people and pair them up and make money ! thats a scam. such business only have products for show

[darkdruid]

MLM companies... good training, good motivation, good income FOR THE ONES ON TOP. Meaning... its a scum.

a lot can earn but more are not earning through these what they so call "business".

They sell products that are more expensive... then they will just tell you its effective.. yeah right.

Funny thing about aning mga pyramiding scam ug MLM, di kuno sila mo-advertise sa TV kay ang advertising cost, ila na lang kuno ihatag sa members as commission.

Usa pa, nindot kuno nang "by word of mouth" kay para mahimong household name. Hasta batang bag-ong natawo, makaila dayon.

Pwero buyag, mas maayo pa ang YUYUHONG ug KARGASOK sa Carbon. Wala man tuod gi network pero mas daghang tawo nakaila.

Di ko motuo anang product movement, kay kung tinuod pa na, mas sikat unta sila kay sa... for example.... Chin Chan Su.

i dunno ha but i only joined the legacy seminar katong hots pa kaayu ni nga topic sa skul. my other college friends (1st year mi, last year) they were so enticed to join legacy, kai other students (uban ka batch from other skuls) were getting checks every sat. amounting to 6k for starters.. alrhough im firm to my stand na i dont trust my money in this kind of business (especially na student pa gyud ko, either i ask my rents for money or il use my hard earned savings as initial investment) after the seminar na tarug gyud ko. adn the fact na the speakers and the big earners of legacy that time were people from my christian community before (but ni backslide lng).. so sa aku mind.. why mangilad man sila dba? plus the luxury cars that were parading sa kilid sa store screaming na - i got his from legacy- was tempting me to invest my 10k. Uban nko classmates ni borrow gyud money sa parents, nangutang, nakig tunga etc. but what i told my friend who invited me was - show me your first check and il invest my money right away- until now wala pa cya ka dawat and never showed me a check. Uban sad nko friends, never got their investment back. luoy ayu sila kai students gud sila, they dont have incomes and primarily the main reason that they joined was to be financially free from their parents.. (which was also my intention) nothing worng with tha dba?

but like one said in her/his reply sa kani na thread.. everything boils down if you work to make your money move. Murag for me wa man gyud ma dato by just sitting down and sleeping. they too have to work their a**s off. Illegal ni or dili naa ra na sa tao if they would take the risk, one cannot study man gyud all the pro and cons of a certain company.. it would take to much effort. getting rich is about hard work, patience and taking intellegent risk. Risks means something you wouldnt know the outcome pa. and i think i made an intellegent choice not to join no matter how tempting the "in 5 months time u cna buy your own car" testimonials and all. I think people getting into this kind of business also made a choice.. and dili na ka kulangan nila.. it would be a loss if mu sulod cla ingani na business if naa sa suod sa ila utok everything would be just EASY MONEY they should know better gyud.

Warnings.. nothing wrong with that.. just be cautious kai things can turn around in just minutes u know - to good or bad ..

Naa man gyud uban na close minded gyud that they judge right away na kani na company scam ni blah blah.. they can rant all they want, post replies and all but the decision of trusting your investment to such company would be in your hands. Sa usa ka butang naa man gyud nai di ka uyon og ka uyon. precisely sakto to ang usa ka istoryan sa iya point na respeto.ai lang...

kato sa mga ni apil ani nga kind of business.. good luck and i hope your intention is really to let other experience the wonderful benefits of the company you are investing in.. kai uban ang ila lng is to earn form their recuits.

for those who keep their money in banks or in the safety of their baul/vault... well we gotta work our b&tts of everyday with low salary wages.. but do invest it soon...

Yeah, Legacy was hot at one time. Many of my friends joined it and hapit nasad ko. My nature is very skeptic.

sayang nawala...

Where is legacy now?

luoy ang naa sa ubos. wala ka kwarta and ka commission[br]Posted on: February 29, 2008, 12:53:38 AM_________________________________________________

hahahaha, nice point. i like the way you think bro...

yes. even a good friend of mine said. if Networking and MLM's had the cure for cancer and aids, dili cya mupalit.

its not about the product though, but about the system.

MLM's with good systems have survived the times while ang uban, ni sikat then nawala rasad dayun...

but fortunately, we are now in a legit Multilevel Marketing. heheheeh

no offense.. this is what I learn and my POV only
ive read some stuff about it might as well try to differentiate the scum i mean scam from the reall MLM a scam that you mean.. they are apperaing real but not.......try also checking.. he real network marketing.MLM, it does not matter who start first.. what count is the effort
effort is proportion to the income... its down stream not upstream... because its a real business...its legitimate...mao na pg banatay dyd mo sa tarong ug dili tarong....
in real world of "working or a job" purely its a business.. owners hire people to join his company... and hire supervisors/managers like four
finance,production,marketing,human resource... they are just 4 on the top and they are paid really well.. but how about the people below??
the staffs they are learning lower....?? is it a scamis it pyramiding??soembody has to be terminated or retired first on the top before one have to be promoted....its employment system...its reality but its not a scam so if you mention GOOD INCOME is ang nasa taas ra.... what i mean is the concept....POV lang mao ni akong nasabtan.....

blah blah blah... taasa sa imong gisulti kang darkdruid brad oi...

brad jonz, are you really that hungry for money? i mean, MLM means get as many people and you will be rewarded.... sa lain nga pagsulti, daghan alakansi para ka maka kwarta.

brad, ayaw lang kasuko ha.. pero if u try to see MLM now a days.. HUGAW na cya nga negosyo. ug PANGILAD ra ang MOTIBO niani nga negosyo. kung OPEN MINDED ilang sulti... make sure apilon nimo ang pagka OPEN MIND nga daghan NAILAD ani nga negosyo.

pasensya na. pero daghan ko kaila nailad ana... apil na ang naka kwarta niana... awahi ilang pagbasol kay daghan man gud nig palusot sa pag ilad.

[rkc_888]

[darkdruid]

@jonz

POV ra na nimo. since business is suppose to be trade... not recruitment.. and because of that... scam dyud na. TIKAS ba in other words.
