My Brother-In-Law is the president of a well known nationwide bank branch in Missouri. He was introduced to this company by a neighbor. He had the same initial "Just another pyramid scheme" reaction to it as most of us do. He could not afford to put his reputation on the line as a financial lender. Three months later, after doing credit bureau checks, etc., and taking this business apart piece by piece he proceeded to tell people about it. In his words "this is a solid deal." His parents had been with Amway when he was a kid, and acording to him he never seen it as a good deal. The savings side of Team National is for real, period. The average family will recoup their lifetime membership in less than a couple of years- just in savings. There is no pressure as a Team National member to go out an sell more memberships. I have learned that many people never intend to push memberships on any of their friends and family. They only intended to use it to save money for themselves. They only tell their friends and family because they want to save them money too! When they find out that they can actually make money promoting a sound business by citing their own experiences with it, then they persue the income side of Team National. I have only been a team national member for two weeks now. I have already done some christmas shopping online and have probably made $5 back in savings from shopping at Toys R Us from two small purchases. I'm sure that is a drop in the bucket to most skeptics but it will sure add up over a lifetime. This is one small example of the multiple ways Team National saves people money. Oh yeah larger purchases will save you way more money! I challange anyone to tell me what is wrong with saving perfectly good money!! Critics can spend all day bashing this company but they will never tell you any truthful facts about it- only misguided rumors.

| 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!!"
