Rebuttal Consumer Comment
Submitted: 4/14/2007 7:40:26 AM Modified: 4/14/2007 7:52:36 AM I am glad to hear all your opinions: And I thank those of you who did research about this, and other, online, work-from-home businesses. You do so many of us a great service. I, too, started to get involved with Online Business Systems--among other "make money without lifting a finger" offers. I had a really well-paying job, with great benefits, up until a few years ago when my body went south and just couldn't handle the physical demands. The company refused to put me into any other position that I could do(been there 19 yrs and know more than just what I did for 11 of those yrs.) With no other skills to fall back on, I grasped at online, work-at-home options. Multi-Level Marketing 'businesses' come in many forms. They're not always online businesses, and they are often difficult to spot. Beware--- if you THINK they are MLM, and then you are told repeatedly, and adamantly, that they are NOT!--- They just might be. Also, the words Multi-Level Marketing are just a euphenism for Pyramid. My stepmom, who I consider a fairly saavy person, fell for some. My ex, also intelligent, got us involved in another, and, although I agree with SOME of their concepts and products, it was MLM---pyramid. He lost some good friends by trying to recruit them into the business. Some questions to ask yourself: If they tell you, "You don't have to sell anything", ask "Then where does the money generated and made, come from?" The answer is you have to get someone UNDER YOU. You have to schmooze other people to buy into the system. (MLM-PYRAMID)Well, someone has to sell SOMETHING! Right? "What is the actual product?" "Do I believe in this product?" "Will I use this product myself?" "Has, or is, this product helping me, so I believe it can be of benefit to others?" Research-Investigate. Try it out for yourself, before you put yourself as the head of the company. Let's face it, in any business, if you are the one person selling the product, or service, YOU ARE THE PRODUCT OR SERVICE. If the consumer is unhappy with the results, you may have made a couple of bucks, but in the end. you are BUPKUS! AND If you have to work your butt off to make the $$ 'promised' by the infomercials, they Lied! The whole premise of these commercials is that you can sit in your bathrobe in front of your puter for a couple of hours a week and make millions! Yeah, I am envious of the Donald Trumps and Bill Gates of the world. But, they found their niche and made it work. They didn't rely on these fly-by-night schemes to make their billions. Look out for easily made promises,because, in the words of Mary Poppins, " Promises are like pie crusts. Easily made--easily broken." Find what you're good at, what you enjoy--and make it work for you. Another question to ask yourself: If it's so easy, and lucrative, why isn't EVERYONE doing it?

BEWARE!! I paid the $9.95 to get their "package," which had no more information in it that the original free advertisement.
I called my "mentor" Loran Victorino, who asked for another $400.00 for the actual business package to get started (oh yeah, my understanding is the $400.00 is for a bunch of vitamins that he said I should be familiar with to sell them) at which time I told him I didn't want to be involved and expressed my wishes to take advantage of their back guarantee and to not charge my cc for the $39.95. He said he wouldn't charge my cc for the $39.95 and to return the package. I returned the package and then a couple days later I see the charge on my cc for $39.95. I called him and asked what's up to which he replied he had forgotten to tell his "partner" not to charge me so it was his error. I sent him an e-mail (professional with no profanity or threatening language) to which he called me and started yelling profanities (funny thing is his message talks about having a blessed day and "God Bless" but that's the way it works - when you are sending them they are christians but when you stop sending them their true colors shine). I contacted the BBB and his response to them was he would credit me once he received his package - I can't return it to him twice. He still says he didn't receive it - I asked if maybe his "partner" got it and forgot to tell him. Anyway, I finally got the credit about a month ago. Today I see he has charged my cc again for the $39.95. THESE GUYS ARE CROOKS!! BEWARE!!!! BEWARE!!
