To me Rippln seems like a scam or big time pyramid scheme in the making. I received the invite from a good friend. He really did not look at it all..because he got it sent to him from someone that he trusted. He was told he could only invite 5 friends so he did.

Now, from my experience I have learned here.. Google it and see what you see. I know that you will find stuff offering views from both sides of the fence - PROs and Cons

There are all kinds of articles being posted that are being found by Google.
You will find a lot of stuff that has been removed - check the cache.
If you google you will find all of these.

  • People calling it real and legit.
  • People calling it a scam.
  • Posts about Illegal MLM Pyramid
  • People calling out the scam and then trying to defend it
  • Stuff about NDAs
  • Youtube Videos calling it the next best thing..
  • Youtube Videos warning about the scams

These names have been mentioned ( Google Them and see what you see )
  • Brian Underwood ( ever hear about Burnlounge? LocalAdLink? Izigg?)
  • Jonathan Budd
  • Russell Brunson (Potato Gun )
Most of the stuff I have read about Rippln scares me. What are your thoughts?

Thanks for the warning Robbie. I have not been invited to this but now I've got something new to dig into. :)

And yes, one of the three names above, Russell Brunsen I've been a subscriber to for years, since he appeared on the scene. I've not looked at his emails for almost that long. I need to clean house real bad!

Thanks Daniel. Who is Robbie?

LOL! I first thought this was Robbie's blog post. Robbie is "Splashduck." It was very late last night when I found this and I was tired. It was actually his reply that got me on here. I left you a reply on your private email. Here, this guy talks about what you can do with a "shiny object" This video is particularly disturbing...

Thanks, WA is where I'll stay, from scams I'll stay away !

thanks for the tip. it's good to know what may come around but since I have been here I have no interest in anything else....I am happy with one thing at a time.

You should see this latest video: "We're not a company, we're a movement...people are afraid of us...we will not be stopped..." The last time I heard THAT kind of talk, cyanide-flavored Kool-Aid was also involved!

But seriously, folks, what you need to be wary of is their talk of "powering up" to a "Rippln license" that turns you into a "player" in order to earn bonuses from those "within your ripple." It sounds suspiciously like the same old pyramid routine of being granted the "privilege" of recouping what you pay your upline from your downline!

Also, beware of the Ripplin app. If its sole reason for being is for people to convince others to download it, iTunes won't touch it and Google Play shouldn't (though, of course, Google owns Google Play and YouTube -- conflict of interest, anyone?). Most likely, the app will be available from a Ripplin server, where it will lie in a constant "beta" state. And THAT'S why they need you to do their spamming for them!

LOL -- here is their updated "incentivized sharing" compensation plan. "Powering up" has been replaced by "purchasing a membership," and the multi-level "coaching bonuses" have been replaced by a multi-player "cross-platform game" that awards "points" which the top ripple makers can cash in. Oh, and the Rippln app is now a ripple "communicator!"

P.S. If Rippln believes that companies should pay customers who do advertising for them, why aren't they paying people for creating ripples?

Thanks for the insight here and at my blog review

Lots of bad people out there.

Yes there is!

They re the same people fom Zeek Rewards and e all know where it is now! The government shut them down.

Are they tied to Zeek too? I saw some of the previous schemes

Yeah I got sent the email from a friend as well and basically did the same thing, passed it on for further reading. Should have googled it first but i guess getting it from a friend made me think it was reputable. A bit daft really because someone somewhere has to do the googling. Luckily Rich did. My head hurt for a few days but I was able to run away to China. I would say to people 1.) do your own research first, always. 2.) ask someone if they want to check it out before saying "hey check this out"

Sorry Dom Rookie mistake! I got caught the exact same way. Luckily there was no money exchanged hands.

no problem man, wasn't holding anything against you :)

Unlike me. Who wants your still beating heart on a plate. :) R. x

Good to see your not as grumbly as old man @Rich :)

Thank you. I enjoy the support here at WA. I wish I had more time.

I've left a few Members here twitching and bleeding after they gave away MY email address to this total ripoff scam. http://thechrisvossshow.com/rippln-investigation-is-it-a-mlm-pyramid-scheme-scam/ It beggars belief anyone is daft enough to give away their own email address to a stupid pyramid scheme but to give away MINE?! If anyone else is thinking of sending off my email address to someone else - let alone to some scam! - without my express permission, think again. I will hurt you. :P Rich. x

Supposedly there is no privacy statement tied to signing up either, once you drop that contact info - email and cell phones (SMS) they have license to spam the heck out of you.

Thanks for the news. I haven't figured out how to publish my blogs here. Could you guide me?
