This shit screams Pyramid Scheme. The only reason I see them not tanking is because they have a loop hole that allows them to escape the heat of the Feds but other than that this shit looks like a scam. Anybody here do this that can tell me more about it? A few family members even got sucked in this shit trying to sell everybody a damn service plan.

Yeah you pretty much know everything there is to know about it already. It's a pyramid and if you wanted to make a modest 50k a year you'd need to bring in about 80,000 people to the service. The population in America only could support 2,000 people making 50k a year off ACN. You make your real money off recruiting because it costs about 500 a person to get into the company. Can you imagine paying someone to go work for them? Lol hell nah! Show this site right here to your fam...hopefully it'll break their hypnotism:

I was waiting to see ACN on BGOL but yeah its a pyramid scheme. Have an aunt that lives in Prince George Co. Maryland and she is on it hard. They had one of their conferences down here in Texas last year and she invited me to go to try and get me down. I went and that shit was like a parallel universe. Niggas was getting up on stage telling their stories of how they are like millionaires and only 25 years old and how they live the life they always wanted. When I went there was hella Asians flying in to the conference. They have different teams from all over that represent at the conference. You better have a hell of a mouth piece to get down with this shit and make money.
 
My supervisor at work tried to get us to recruit people for him but I said no because there wasn't anything in it for me.He gets rich by the amount of people YOU recruit for him.They hold seminars in hotels about the ACN program where I live.

It just seems like a new telephone/internet company to me trying to make a come up.

Haha this broad tried to say that I wasn't a "go getter" and couldn't recognize opportunity because I didn't think selling nutritional products (namely vitamins) was a good way to get rich. I couldn't help but laugh as I walked out of Blockbuster and hopped into my Lexus. If I'm supposedly the one fucking up in life then this bitch must own a mansion and drive a Bugatti Veyron.
 
So niggas are actually making cake off this? Like Millions? :hmm::hmm::smh: I think mothafuckas be lying on their pay checks.

Its amazing, funny and sad at the same time how they try and make you feel stupid for not being as STUPID as they are for being part of that bullshit.

Its a pyramid scheme. Leave it alone. You will NOT make money. Period.
 
As with all pyramid schemes...ask them to show you a check, and watch them start to stt-uutteer. :lol:
 
wow at this thread.
so this is the reason why 3 three people in the last week have come up to me offering me a chance to make all of this money like they are. Girls talking about they making 7g's a week and that i could do the same if not more.

I got into it a few years ago to help my cousin out. I still have the tapes and original flyers. You have to be a special type of person to get your people to sell this service for you or even pitch it to your people. I've done this before with Prepaid Legal and a similar company based in Michigan - LTD. Same services (phone, electric in certain states, always promises to resell pagers and cell phones in the future)
I overhear people pitching it all the time on cell phones or in public places - mostly fine chicks.
 
Im not a part of ACN but before anyone makes any uneducated judgements about network marketing go ahead and read the following books. "The Cashflow Quardrant" by Robert Kyiyosaki & and "The Next Trillion" by Paul Zane Pilzner. These type of business's are actually completely legit and can bring the average person financial freedom. Alot of people are so conditioned to work a "job" in corporate america that they dont believe other opportunities exist outside of it. Those that network marketing an "Illegial Pyramid" dont realize that working in corporate america is the biggest pyramid scheme in the world. At the top you have CEO's, VP's, Director's, Senior Manager's, & so on and so on. Chances are slim no none that you can start at the bottom and work all the way to the top no matter how hard you try. The thing with network marketing is that you get paid based on the work you do; period point blank! And at the same thing it builds the person up mentally and financialy. You dont get ahead or get held back based on age, sex, race, education, etc. Peeps need to do their homework on this. Learn how to get financially smart and learn how to earn residual income because some of the statements on here proves to me that alot of people are flying with blinders on.

:lol: @ MLM....seems like every couple of years it's something different (Amway, Quixtar, Ignite, etc). No matter what "service" they are providing, it's always the same scam in the end.

Yeah, the shit is "legal" however sticking feathers up your butt does not make you a chicken.

I tend to use this guy's BS Artist detection list when being approached by folks with this nonsense (it focuses on real estate investment scams, but the techniques are the same as MLM guys): http://www.johntreed.com/BSchecklist.html
 
Montana (Yes that Montana) use to try to sell something like this. She was saying her website was going down because she was going to have a Bentley by the end of the year.

I use to fuck with Pre-Paid Legal but that shit is a hassle because you got the dude who recruited you always buggin' you to go out and find people as if you aint got other shit to do. Come to find out my old recruiter left because they were fuckin' with his money.

Now as far as ACN, my Cousins wife got me to come to a seminar and I was like "No Way in Hell all these people making this money" but a lot of them were. They want you to join on the spot. I wanted to join but not on the spot. I got online and read all the horror stories and said FUCK THIS.

Come to find out, the secret to making MONEY in this is to EXAGGERATE about how much money your making. Dress Nice and say you make So and So Amount of Money and you will get people signing up.

But quick question , does anyone actually have that ACN Phone Service and how is it?

:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

See dog, you just HAD to post this shit and now we got not one, BUT TWO MLM trolls on the board now.

I say if one of these MLM fucks approaches you in public, you kick that fucka in the mouth like you would any other asshole who was trying to rob you.
 
The worst part about this, is that it is actually some family members and a couple close bols trying to sell me this shit every time I talk to them. :smh: Yeah so who sends them the pay checks and who signs them? Is it direct deposit or what? Obviously some of these cats are making some money.

Post up an ACN pay stub or STFU
 
Isn't a regular job like a pyramide scheme?

The ones making money are the ones at the top while the rest gets pimped out.


:confused:

What I consider to be a pyramid scheme.

1. Having to pay upfront money for a job (When its not your own business)
2. Recruiting people (is the only way for you to get paid) If you are offering a product that's 1 thing but when you have to recruit people thats another story are you pushing, the product or recruitment..

3. I have see any proof it's all talk. Example I attended 1 of these ACN meeting we were told we are going to be Millionares. So I told rep here is what I am willing to do. Pay my up front fee's and if I am since I am going to be a millionare I will give 50% of my earnings, so that $500 shouldn't be anything, then he went on about how thats unethical and all this nonsense... Fuck dat!!


Understand bruh!!!

Huh? Did you have to pay a chunk of money when you applied?

Did you have to go out and try to hire other staff members in order to get a pay check?

Do you not get paid if you don't get anybody to work shoveling shit?

In a career you can move up by getting your shit done how the fuck do you move up in some shit like this?
 
Anybody ever heard of Alexander Graham Bell? If not, anything that was invented over 100 years ago and someone tries to sell it to you again but with a different gift wrap, it's a problem.

Look, about 8 years ago I allowed a friend of the family to invite me out to a little ACN shindig. It was decent. Her daughter is a doctor. We grew up together, her me and her brother. That's the first trick, to get six figure earners in corporate america or self employed careers to say, "Hey, I make this but X company is making me this."

Now, for about six months after that meeting every week, her mom was blowing my phone up asking me when I would want to get with the opportunity. I'm like d*mn, I just got finished with the Primerica stint and now this sh!t. Anyway, it is a type of brainwashing for lack of a better word.

Look, network marketing is legal. Hell, franchises when they first appeared, were treated just like network marketing is today. Before people saw McDonald's on every corner, they felt like hey that is not right for duplicate restraunts to come with a system and make money. But they did and they survived. Now, fast food, IMO, kills a lot of people but it's legal, lol.

Network marketing, or the dream of it, has been made easier because of the internet. Conversely, it is going to eliminate it and let me tell you why. I have never seen one network marketing company that did not ask me to pay to get started. Inherently, there is nothing wrong with that. However, it is normally for a product that is non-competitive and one which I could easily use affiliate marketing to sell it once I found a similar product.

The moral of this post (I don't know how it got this long) is to do YOU. Network marketing plays the dozens on "Hey, this is your business." And it is. Plenty of businesses don't make money or make it at a lost. if you are going to build a network marketing team, which takes 3 to 5 to really make it, you might as well create your OWN business. You can make the same money network marketers claim they make and without the headache of hunting people down like it's a track meet.

Short answer, is run the other way. It is for a select Boiler Roomer's.
