This is yet another MLM, or multi level marketing company. Historically and statistically, the vast overwhelming majority of people who "invest" in these not only do not make any money, but rather lose considerable amounts, and not just hundreds, but several thousand dollars before they wise up and cut their losses by leaving.
This company requires a $499 investment, annual fees of $149 per year and I believe they charge a monthly fee as well. In addition, I'm sure there's all kinds of other items they pressure people to buy as these companies are fond of sayings such as "It takes money to make money" and "Fake it till you make it" and other such amazing BS.

I can not begin to count the number of times I've heard that one. Especially using financial professionals to attempt to make such claims seem more authoritative, more legitimate. Every MLM (ie., pyramid scheme) since practically the dawn of time has done the same. Every last one! Really wish you guys could come up with some new material.
I'm an accountant and there's suckers in every profession, so please spare me the theatrics.

Yeah, and I wish I had a nickel for every time I've heard that one too!
Rule of thumb: Anyone who feels the need to make announcement about how they're not trying to scam you, usually IS.

Please refer to rule of thumb above.
Quote:its the most amazing thing happened to me
Amazing things, huh? You're playing that "fake it till you make it" game, just like they told you to do, right? Come on now, be honest.
Quote:its just people need money and this is just another stream. good money too, no selling or door knocking needed.
No selling? Oh Baloney! Or are you trying to be clever by pretending that recruiting others into this MLM isn't really the same thing as selling?
No "door to door"? Oh? Just cold calling instead, right? You know, most companies have to hire and PAY telemarketers at least minimum wage. This one CHARGES them $500 instead for the privilege! It's like a bad meme: "In Soviet Russia, employees pay YOU!"
You know, selling is something that less than 1% of the population enjoys doing, far fewer who are any good at it, much less make any real money at it, and telemarketing is pretty much the bottom of the barrel. I'd personally rather clean sewers, because that only dirties your hands. My conscience would never permit me to attempt to acheive success at the expense of others....MANY, MANY others. Although honestly, I've never known anyone who actually did.
Quote:until then i dont want to believe a nobody who didnt work hard and just sits and complain.
A "nobody?" Last guy tried conning me into one of these with the standard line of "Wouldn't you like to retire in 5 years?" Don't think he liked my answer, which was "Sorry buddy, but I could retire tomorrow!"
I work very hard, running my own business, doing what I was BORN to do. Why would I want to retire from that?
