Thank you for coming to read my blog page. I appreciate that your time is valuable and thank you for giving some up to me.

As you'll see from my blogs I have a desire to find information, facts and like to do things with numbers. I also spend a lot of time doing research (both for my WA sites and in my office life which I still need to do [for now]).

I'll be posting about "ages of wealthy affiliates" soon. You can also help by visiting my other blogs and leaving comments there.That brings me to my new request:

Were you scammed/robbed/ripped off?

If you were I'd love to know about it so please comment on here.

(If you're not willing to put it out in the public please PM me).

I got had by stuff like:

    • Make money from your photos (while you sleep)
      but nobody tells you on their "part a fool from his money" website that you better be very good and you must have commercial appeal (or you won't even get past registration
    • Take Surveys for Cash
      until you are blue in the face, get hundreds of spammails
      can't ever retire unless you spend 8 hours per day doing dumb input
    • make Dollars as a data pro
      Yes, data capture (and there are probably people that do this successfully)
      if you are of the right skills set - 120 words per minute
      and you're prepared to take advice from a person living in a Singapore parking lot
    • binary trading
      this may well be a legitimate way of making money, however:
      You Had Better Be A Very Good Trader
      or you'll simply get fleeced.

That's where I've be to get burned. Where did you get burned?

Thank you,

Simon

Your not going to find many positive comments about the MLM business model here at WA. Most of us have not had good experiences with them. Kyle in particular has a very poor opinion of the MLMs.

I learned that the MLM business model was not my cup of tea back before the digital revolution. It was all about going to meetings at local hotels. Then Carbon Copy Pro came along. It was a well disguised MLM wrapped in another MLM (Wealth Master International). The Financial Training agenda at WMI caught my attention. At the EOD, both were over hyped and under delivered.

So let's see you have 15 responses so far. Fourteen are not positive experiences. One is not relevant. College may not get you a dream job, but it's not an MLM ... yet!

Hi Dennis, thank you for the feedback. Ponzi schemes masquerading as MLM keep rearing their heads. It's madding to see how many people get gulled by them. Worse still, how hard it is to get the people perpetuating them prosecuted for their crimes.

No. Just a couple of MLM propositions, though.

Jeff, my experience with MLM is that you get sold on a lot of hype and very little substance. Tantamount to false advertising. Then you find out that you need the same hype to sell on and I won't do that. MLM is not for me.

CI Systems back in 1984. Putting flyers on cars and no callback. An MLM which clearly had payments to the top level only. Never repeated.

Thank you for the input Michael.

Hi Simon, have a read of my post from yesterday, 'Karma, where are you' it will tell you :)

Jude, may the wheel turn quickly! Good grief, you've certainly had more than your share of late.
Glad to see the little smile at the end of your entry here; I trust that means you're already fighting back?

I'm trying :)

Binary Trading was my last rip off scam that I was victim of, but I had a large scam against me form a business person in Queensland, Australia, which I lost my home and a lot of money, read my blog: restoring my faith in human kind!

Thanks Lisa, had a look at you profile and the blog. Similar thing happened to a cousin of mine. He went from ready to retire comfortably to bankrupt overnight.
Wish you continued strength and growth and great success here at WA.

MLM. Sponsoring people telling half-truths.

Thanks Ruth, MLM seems to be a pet hate for many. I certainly hated it.

Yeah... I went to college.

I started than, bailed and when to the school of hard knocks instead.

Dubli, Amway and almost but not quite (!!) Project Breakthrough.
They are all rubbish as far as I can see!!!

Thank you for the feedback. I PM'd you too.

I have replied - you can quote me on my last sentence if you like!!! :)

Hmmm where should I start. "Stuff envelopes" "assemble products at home" data entry, surveys... I can not even remember how much I wasted. All I can say is I was about to get tempted to get scamed again and research led me to a review by our fellow member Edy Chandra and I ended up on WA. I saw right away how WA is different and better than (or ist then?) anything I tried before and I don't have any doubts now that I will eventually sucseed if I apply what I learn. I love it here.

Thanks Nadia, you got bitten as badly as I was.
Now we fight back!

Good write up.

Thank you Mike. Feedback like yours absolutely makes my day!
