“I have literally stood next to someone who sat there and showed me a completely bogus website, with fake testimonials, credit card logos, absurd claims for getting rich, no real product and no real service; and it was sent out to millions of people; we went out to pizza and he made almost $60,000 by the time we got back; I no longer talk to that guy.”

1 How To Spot Bogus Scams Like This

2 Reviews Are Everything These Days

The only people that actually end up making a lot of money this way are other desperate criminals, which is about less than 0.3% of the people that get marketed to. This is no way to make a life for yourself and in the end, spend your life stealing from people and playing on their ignorance, I would worry about where you are going when you die and what’s going to happen if you get caught or reported while still alive, or caught by the people who cheated.

Scammers rely on numbers and the stupidity of others. The only people who actually get rich from scams are people willing to scam others and who have a lot of free time.

How To Spot Bogus Scams Like This

• United States law actually REQUIRES an MLM company to provide their financial details to you – View The Federal Trade Commission MLM statement
• No real contact information, such as full name, address or email to a real, non-free email address
• They are located foreign in countries like India, Pakistan or the Philippines
• They make overuse of ! symbols
• They say stuff like…. “The first 100 lucky people to take this offer!” or “Limited time only!”
• Overuse of the word “absolutely”
• Overuse of the word “FREE”
• Overuse of the word “No obligation!”
• Overuse of the word “Completely”
• They say “I’m going to tell you about it!” instead of just telling you about it
• It’s a “New Opportunity!”
• It’s a new business, and you can’t find anything online about it at all
• They don’t tell you what it actually is upfront – you have to go through a series of videos, a video chat, some emails, and sign for some stuff first – It’s a trap; the further in you get, the more obligated you feel to make the purchase.
• Video Chats are are called One-On-One chats; once you’ve taken the bait, it’s time to reel you in
• MLM scammers will avoid hard questions… like “Why do you have so many scammers reports online for your name when I Google “Example Name Scam?” or “Why do you not list any contact information like phone, email, or address?” – “Why do you live in India?”

Reviews Are Everything These Days

You can’t hide from your bad reputation anymore. And you can’t afford to run a business that is getting bad reviews. If that company doesn’t have what looks like a bunch of positive reviews online in places like…

• Google Maps
• Yelp
• Angie’s List
• Facebook
• Manta
• BBB

Be wary.
