FDA WARNING HEALTH FRAUD: THE BODY SHOT BAR

THE TRUTH ABOUT PLEXUS PRODUCTS

DOES PLEXUS WORK?

Reviewed by the Cooper Clinic.

Regarding research:
"Well they only have one study that hasn't been published and it's not peer reviewed, that's not a great sign.  It only had 8 people in the study. They're making millions. My argument is, you would want to invest some of that money in some research to really help your folks sell this, with something behind it."  

Regarding Ingredients:
"They want you to check with your physician first but your physician isn't going to know what's in this either".  

Bottom Line:
"The BBB has given this company a ranking of C, that's not great". 




I don't know about you, but I work too hard for my money to pay over $100 a month for a product that who knows what's in it (as they can change the formula without telling anyone, as I well know) or exactly where it comes from.

Take at your own risk!

Thank you for sharing Michael!

WILL MLM SOON BE A THING (NIGHTMARE) OF THE PAST?

I found the article below quite interesting and for me, hopeful that this could bring multi-level marketing to a screeching halt. Far more have lost money through MLM than have gained. In most MLM's, people are mere pawns to help someone else make money. It took long time and a lot of loss, but I finally got it, which is why I'm an advocate to alert people to scams out there.

Plexus Worldwide.... is it a pyramid?

Here is what "Make Money Online Scams Exposed" has to say...

"This type of company is known to many as “direct, network or MLM marketing” and I like to think of it more as a “Pyramid With A Product.” These companies typically are building the cheapest, weakest products that they can get away with without the consumer noticing. The main goal of the companies is not the breakthrough product, that they make you believe… it’s the recruiting of people to get on your down line and pay a monthly auto-ship to make money from a huge pyramid/ponzi scheme."

Thank you Brandon for your efforts in exposing scams through "Make Money Online Scams Exposed".

MLM Judgment Day...who's next?

Ethan Vanderbuilt I cannot thank you enough for your tireless efforts to expose scams like Vemma.  

From the desk of Ethan Vanderbuilt....

Judgement day has arrived for Vemma. It is the end of Vemma as it once was.  Vemma was a Multi-level Marketing company.  It is no longer.

After the review of the case by the judge John J. Tuchi, here are some of the key orders and findings about Vemma:

The critical question for the FTC is whether the revenues that primarily support the commissions paid to all participants are generated from purchases of goods and services that are not simply incidental to the purchase of the right to participate in a moneymaking venture.

The evidence before the Court leaves little doubt that the FTC will ultimately succeed on the merits in demonstrating that Vemma is operating a pyramid scheme.  (read the rest of the story here)

The truth is, any MLM company I have been associated with, such as Plexus Worldwide, a person does not get to the top of the food chain or "Diamond" Ambassador by selling product.  You MUST grow your team by recruiting AND you don't get paid on those people you bring in unless they and you are "active" aka:  autoship turned on, minimum order of $100.  Take a look at their summary chart shown below (can also be accessed here).

Also, it states "For complete details, please refer to the "Full Plexus Compensation Plan". HOWEVER, what they DON'T tell you is there is much more than just the compensation plan, there is the good ole "policies and proceedures", but that's an episode for another day.

I was astounded by their severe lack of professionalism when I questioned rank removal of one of my team members, and received the most ignorant, unprofessional responses ever! And they call themselves a company????  They don't even know their own compensation plan!  "Uh, we dunt know whut happened".  Sounds to me like they don't know their nose from the hole in the ground!!

 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you're interested you can read the rest of the nightmare here.

I say all that to say that most of the MLM's out there lack ethics and integrity, and clearly represent a classic pyramid scheme according to the Vemma Judgement.

FTC, are you watching???   There are many victims of such greedy, unethical MLM Companies waiting for you to bring the hammer down on new regulations regarding this scandalous industry.  I believe the crumbling of the MLM empire has begun....  it's about time.

UNFAIR AND DECEPTIVE PRACTICES?

Hmmm....  I wonder if this applies to MLM.  Has anyone in MLM received this document?  

I sure didn't!  Maybe I should contact the FTC  for clarification..

FTC Settlement Bans Pyramid Scheme Operators From Multi-Level Marketing

FHTM Defendants Will Surrender At Least $7.75 Million in Assets

FOR RELEASE

May 13, 2014

• Consumer Protection

The operators of a Kentucky-based pyramid scheme, which enrolled more than 350,000 consumers throughout the United States, Puerto Rico and Canada in the last four years, have been banned from multi-level marketing under a settlement with the Federal Trade Commission and the states of Illinois, Kentucky and North Carolina. The settlement also requires the operators to surrender assets totaling at least $7.75 million, which will be returned to consumers.

In January 2013, the FTC and the states charged the Fortune Hi-Tech Marketing (FHTM) defendants with deceiving consumers by claiming they would earn significant income through selling various products and services if they signed up as FHTM representatives. In recent years, the scheme targeted Spanish-speaking and immigrant communities. Participants were required to pay substantial start-up costs and monthly fees to retain their positions with the company. The court subsequently halted the deceptive practices, froze the defendants’ assets, and appointed a receiver over the corporations pending a trial.

After conducting its own investigation, the court-appointed receiver determined that FHTM’s main business was recruiting new members and not selling products and services as it claimed, and confirmed the allegations made by the FTC and the states. The overwhelming majority of participants – more than 98 percent – lost more money than they ever made. At least 88 percent of consumers did not even recoup their enrollment fees. To the extent that consumers could make any income, it was mainly for recruiting other consumers into FHTM’s scheme. More than 81 percent of the payments to participants were based on recruiting new members and not for the sale of products or services. Not surprisingly, at least 94 percent of consumers did not renew their membership after their initial year.

In addition to the multi-level marketing ban, the settlement order permanently prohibits Thomas A. Mills, Fortune Hi-Tech Marketing Inc., FHTM Inc., Alan Clark Holdings LLC, FHTM Canada Inc., and Fortune Network Marketing (UK) Limited from misrepresenting material facts about any product or service, including claims concerning how much money consumers can earn. The order also bars the defendants from selling or otherwise benefitting from customers’ personal information, failing to properly dispose of customer information, and collecting any additional money from customers.

The order imposes a judgment of more than $169 million, which will be partially suspended when the defendants have surrendered certain assets with an estimated value of at least $7.75 million, including assets of the deceased defendant Paul C. Orberson’s estate. The full judgment will become due immediately if the defendants are found to have misrepresented their financial condition. 

The settlement resolves all of the FTC’s claims against the defendants, as well as the claims brought by Illinois, Kentucky and North Carolina.

The Commission vote approving the proposed stipulated order was 4-0.  The order was entered by the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Kentucky, Central Division at Lexington, on May 9, 2014.
