Mark, it seems you are really pulling and hoping for a positive answer. But you won't get one on this board when it comes to shady business practices and MLM opportunities.
To those of us that have been around this stuff for a while, we don't have to actually "buy in" to the programs to see if they "work" or not. Been there, done that. It's all the same. You've seen one herbalife pitch, you've seen 'em all bro.
Herbalife is herbalife, no matter how you slice it or what characters are used to pitch it. Whether it be a fox, a cute bunny, a good looking woman wearing next to nothing, or a convincing successful-looking man, herbalife is herbalife. It is an MLM opportunity to sell "dietary supplements" and only few succeed at herbalife or any MLM venture because in order to succeed at most (but not all, but damn near it) MLM ventures, you must have a type-A personality, the actual traits of a real entrepreneur, and also bent or nonexistent ethics (sad, but true).
If you are looking for people here who have actually been suckered into the crazy fox bit, then I am afraid you will be disappointed. On the other hand, if you trust the wisdom of folks on this site who have been there and done that and have an amazing sense of common sense, then here is where you will find your comfort and salvation. But that will only come if you understand who you are dealing with and you are not blinded by all the pitches out there to make money quickly and/or effortlessly. It's all a dream man. More precisely, it's all a scam, bro.
Please, open your eyes before you lose your shirt.

FIB - Scams 101 is maintained by Lesley Fountain with WebBBS 5.12.
| PLEASE READ THIS LEGAL NOTICE CAREFULLY BEFORE YOU FILE A LAWSUIT OR EVEN WASTE TIME THINKING ABOUT IT. It has been done before, but never successfully. In fact, the last dodobird who tried it ended up being ordered to pay more than $77,000 in attorney fees ($65,000+ to my attorneys and $12,000+ to my co-defendant's legal advisor).
If your attorney is worth his salt, he's going to tell you that the expense of filing a lawsuit you can't win is a whole lot worse than any "damages" resulting from messages posted on this insignificant little chunk of cyberspace. NEWS FLASH: I didn't just climb down off that ol' turnip truck yesterday. I'm well aware that expressing a negative opinion, relating one's personal experience, and restating provable facts are all legal in this country and do not constitute libel, slander, or defamation -- so you don't want to play games with me, and you sure don't want to start something you aren't prepared to finish. I don't take threats lightly, and I don't accept bribes (or did you call it a "mutually-beneficial arrangement"?). I'll turn you in faster than you can yell, "ARREST ME, I'M SCUM!!" Do yourself a favor and turn your legal team loose in greener pastures. Although we may, from time to time, monitor or review discussions, postings and the like on the Friends In Business (Scams 101) Message Board, we are under no obligation to do so. We are not responsible or liable for any claim arising from the content of any such discussions or postings or for any error, defamation, libel, slander, omission, falsehood, obscenity, pornography, profanity, danger, or inaccuracy contained in any information contained within such locations on the Site. You are prohibited from posting or transmitting any unlawful, threatening, libelous, defamatory, obscene, scandalous, inflammatory, pornographic, or profane materials or any material that could constitute or encourage conduct that would be considered a criminal offense, give rise to civil liability, or otherwise violate any law. You are likewise prohibited from posting any false claims against any company or individual. We will fully cooperate with any law enforcement authorities or court order requesting or directing us to disclose the identity of anyone posting any such information or materials. By posting messages and/or content on the Friends In Business (Scams 101) Message Board, you give permission for Lesley Fountain/Friends In Business/Shoestring Success Publications to display, distribute and use the posting and content for publication, advertising, promotion, excerption or example.

If you cannot accept or agree with the terms of service for this website and discussion board, you are advised not to post on this board. In closing, I would like to remind you once again that it is still legal, in this great country of ours, to express a PERSONAL OPINION, as long as it is presented as opinion and not as fact. And finally, all you scammers out there will do well to remember that TRUTH IS AN ABSOLUTE DEFENSE against charges of libel, defamation, and slander... so if you're operating just a hop, skip, and jump ahead of the law, you might want to think twice before doing anything stupid... (AND SHAME ON YOU!!). |
