FIB - Scams 101 - Ye Olde Archives

Hello Robert,
I have read on various forums the following information......
-As Mel has already stated, there are disillusioned people coming out of Xango. There are some that have rose through the pin levels and have found that reaching a certain pin level takes incredible amount of volume in sells to reach the next level. They have felt that their compensation plan is overwhelmnig in what it asks of you at that level.
-The "science" behind the product is suspect.
-The company itself is having problems regarding patents and another company.
-The company's start-up history is a little odd as well. Some of the founders of Xango use to be executives with Tahitian Noni Juice (another MLM program). Apparently, there was a problem in how and why they left.
As Mel suggested, visit www.mlm.com While there, plug in the word 'Xango' into their search engine to view some of the threads that have discussed the problems above.
As you have already stated, there are many scams out there. I encourage you to thoroughly research any of the businesses you come across through the Better Business Bureau at www.bbb.com Asking questions here, as well as other forums, is a very wise thing to do prior to joining. Good luck to you.

BTW, please consider that nearly all business opportunities have great looking websites. Appearance and hype are the ways most 'business opportunities' get people's interest (the "hook"). Only when most people join these 'biz opps' do they realize the work involved, how unfair the compensation plan is, etc... MaaMaw has done research into some of the 'biz opps' and for a list of the ones she recommends, check out MaaMaw's page on business opportunities at http://www.friendsinbusiness.com/best

| 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.

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.

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!!). |
