It is a MLM.\n\nDo a google search on \n\n"market america" scam\n\nand you will find first-person accounts.

I am also addicted to it. I find myself constantly telling people about it. I was just wondering the same thing myself. I have looked, but I'm unable to find it. You should try ordering the book off of their website, I get the impression this book has old secrets in it.

I also got an offer.  The offer I received was for a General Manager position.  I didn't really think that it was a scam, because I am qualified for such a position.  I started doing a little research, and found a blue line marketing out of ID. \n\nI also went back to the web-site that gave me the lead.  I tried to start a fake business account just to see how easy it would be.  They wouldn't let me start an account so it must be a real company, but the offer may not be creditable.

I'm not 100% sure, but it looks like a Melaleuca team.\n\nMelaleuca is a legitimate home business, but it is work.  I've been with them for a while and get my check reliably every month.  But, I am with a different team. So, I can't say how they work exactly.  Different teams work the same business in different ways.  Some by phone, some by email, etc.\n\nIt is a referral business.  In the most basic terms, you advertise your business and refer people to Melaleuca.  The products are outstanding, so it isn't really difficult.\n\nThese are primarily people looking to buy toxic free products for their homes.  They do not buy anything directly from you.  All you do is set up a customer account for them.  They shop directly from Melaleuca's website, catalog, or toll-free number.\n\nI hope that helps.

I live in Omaha, and I have never heard of such a company.  I just looked it up in the yellow pages and I didn't see anything there.  I would assume that it is long gone.  Maybe there is some history to this company if you can find any other connection to this business.  I was unable to find anything in the books or online.  Sorry

Hello!\nWe were Amway distributors about 10 years ago and fell in love with some of the products. We later quit but missed the products.\n\nWe signed up again with Quixtar a few months ago so we could get the products a little cheaper.\n\nI believe that MLMs are the way to go to create an extra income or even great wealth and Quixtar is one of the grand-daddies of MLM. However, the retail mark-up is so low on the most popular products that you have to be a super sales person to make any money through retail. And you need good retail to finance the training system.\n\nOur down-fall the first time was the cost of the traning system. But let me say this... for most people (98%) the training is a must because a good MLM is more about persenal growth when a person first starts.\n\nMost people don't have any knowledge about business or dealing with people. Most take rejection as a personal blow and it's really not. Rejection is a killer for most distributors.\n\nI think Quixtar is an excellent business if you have the energy, the high self esteem, and the money to get it going. As far as it being a scam, let's be realistic. Quixtar is what now, about 50 years old and is connected to some of the worlds largest companies and has distributors world-wide. If it was a scam it would have been shot down a long time ago.\n\nAnd as far as a new person never making as much as the people at the top, the people at the top also started at the bottom.\nI know people that have worked for WalMart for years and they will NEVER make as much as Sam Walton did.\n\nAs I said, MLM is the way to go. But we found a company with excellent products with a good retail mark-up, an excellent MLM payplan and with an internet connection the training is free. We started in March and it's doing very well.\n\nWe still get our SA8 and some other products through our Quixtar up-line but we're making money with our other MLM.\n\nIf you like Quixtar go for it. Don't spend the rest of your life wondering WHAT IF.\n\nYou sound like the kind of person we're looking for. If you're still looking for something we would love to talk with you.\n\nWhat ever you decide... Don't let anybody steal your dream!

Never heard of it so I checked it out. Sounds very promising.\nI found this site interesting...\nhttp://www.canderm.com/page.asp?intNodeID=8035

This website was set up by Don Lapre who has been in hot water before for his marketing methods.  That alone would make me run for the hills.\nI have also checked out their product, I've worked with nutritional products for many years.  I don't believe that it contains anything cutting edge, they are getting by on hype.\nI market a nutritional product that was discovered by Dr. Earl Mindell, author of the Vitamin Bible, Pharmacist, World's leading Nutritionist and Master Herbalist.  \nBecause of this man's reputation, people are willing to listen and take his advice.  Nutrition, health and anti-aging are fast becoming a trillion dollar industry, so you are on the right track, just be certain the product you are looking to market is everything it says it is.

I grew up only minutes away from Amways Corporate Headquarters... but surprisingly, haven't been harrassed by to many "Amway People"... It seems as if their business motto is "fake it til you Make It" and "NEVER take No for an Answer"  they are really into the "SALES" thing.  The sad part about that is that there are many who truly believe what has been promised by their "Upline" and for some this is an attainable goal... However, most seem to be very pushy for a few months and then see that they are losing friends.  People are no longer ansewering their calls, and no one is accepting their dinner invitations any longer.\n\nI think Amway is one of the companies that gives MLM a bad name.  They have a set quota that they have to reach each month and in order to advance need to be that pushy.  But, to be fair, one can say that about a lot of the "sales people" out there.  (try walking into a furniture store, car lot, or even electronics store)  \n\nTry explaining to them that you have heard bad things from too many people.  Or even tell them to get back with you when they can show you checks to back up their statements (that's what worked for me... still waiting for someone to "show me") I did have one person, show me what did work for them... wasn't Amway tho.\n\nPersonally, I wish more Amway people would contact me about Amway (as I said, I have found a program that ACTUALLY works, without the high volume requirements, doesn't require all the high pressure sales or inventories.)  So my new response is to "SHOW them" my program and then help them to actually reach the goals they have been unable to reach with Amway.\n\nThey are only trying to help... maybe you could "Help them" to find something less Pushy!!!

I got a postcard in the mail, and was propositioned for the same fee to complete the applications.  I told the operator I would think about it and call back - then I hung up the phone and did a search to see what this company was about.  They have no web page, but there are a bunch of comments from people who have gotten ripped off from this company.  I called the company right back and told them to remove my name form their database and to not contact me ever again.  Fortunately I had not given them my bank account information.\n\nYou can do the search by typing the company's name into the URL address bar and pressing enter on your keyboard.  Read the comments and decide for yourself.\n\nI did find a page on the BBB http://www.newyork.bbb.org/reports/businessreports.aspx?pid=44&page=1&id=86754\nThat shows this company is not a member wiht the BBB - you can check it out too.\n\nAll in all - my research indicates that this is not a company wirht doing business with.  If you are interested in grants, then check out the response on this post for more info:http://answers.yahoo.com/question/?qid=1006041408147&r=w&is_vote_given=true&pa=BpVqD13uBHMzU.qS4xwATQPSi0OMTaepvTNWYr0wfkQkjizvFoI-

I've seen this infomercial before. It's probably not a scam, the person who hands out coupons gets paid something by Dish Network, and so does the advertisers. Really its just a way for Echostar/Dish Network to reel in more customers, they make the money back in the long run with monthly fees.\n\nHope this helps, and good luck if you try it! :)

It's got all the markings of a "pyramid" plus it falls under the category of "too good to be true".  There are two areas most of these companies operate in; Beauty & Health Care (esp. vitamins).......\n\nClealy stay far away from this. No matter what they say... they're not "different".

It is an MLM company. I am a RN who has researched various health juices and what is in them. This company has a drink that contains the ACAI berry, it is a good product. The best product I have found is Dr. Earl Mindell's Himalayan Goji Juice. If you look at the ORAC scale which measures the antioxidant of fruits and veggies. GOJI is 25,300. MANGOSTEEN (Xango product), ACAI, and NONI are much lower. I have a copy of the literature if you would like. Also, Freelife International has the best compensation plan I have seen in the industry, compared to XANGO and Mona-Vie. If you would like more info, you can contact me angiecamz@triad.rr.com

I had never heard of it so took a look after seeing your question.\nIt looks to be quite good, and there is a reference to ebay on it (Obviously trying to steal some ebay customers).\n\nSo at first glance - yep - it looks good and I will be taking a better look at what they have on sale there. Of course, until you can find someone who has actually bought something, then you will not know for sure, but I might just buy a small item, just to test them out.\n\nI'll post a question if and when I have a go, to let you (And anyone else) know.\n\nHows that? Sorry I did not actually answer your question, but at least I took a look at the site.\n\n:-)
