FIB - Scams 101
Re: Team National

Truthfully, the program is a MLM, but you have a choice whether you want to be in that arena or not. Let me tell you the facts of the program, since no one takes the time to check the facts prior to bashing this. The program is a Group Savings Plan, companies such as Target, Kmart, Sears and other large chains have joined with Team National to provide the member with benefits up to 50% off of any purchase made from a sponsoring entity. Also when purchasing you will receive a rebate (commission) from that entity back in the mail. They have a Business Exchange that offers local and national business who give a discount to Team National members. Exchange sponsors vary from Dentists to Auto Mechanics. Then there is a Factory Direct link that you can purchase cars, furniture, electronics directly from the factory for a discount that is below dealer markup, and get rebates on these as well. Most people are in this just for the savings. But if you want to pursue the income aspect of this then you can become an IMD (Marketing Directors). It is FREE to become an IMD, you don't even have to buy the savings program. You just fill out the paperwork and start recruiting. But as we all know, it is hard to sell something that you are not 100% familiar with. But again it is UP TO YOU. There are 2 programs for the Team National Savings: a 2 year Savings benefit package (standard) for $795 or, a Lifetime (Premium) benefit for $2,200. Another great thing about this benefit is that it can be used by all your IMMEDIATE family so one plan can cover limitless amounts of IMMEDIATE family (Grandparents, Parents, Children, Grandchildren) and if you get the lifetime benefit your kids can use it with their immediate family when they grow up, never having to pay for the membership since mom or dad already did in 2007. So needless to say this is NOT a high pressure system and if you like it, fine. If you don't then you can forget to use it, but you won't save. Thunder and lightning will not come to get you and it costs you nothing to attend a meeting so why not let your mind be the judge. Good Luck either way!

| 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.

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!!). |
