Check out this picture. From the camera angle do you have any trouble seeing some red flags. From the Raising the Red Flagsphotographed persons angle, maybe he could not see those red flags. The closer he looks the more likely it is that he will notice that he is in trouble. He should be more than just a little concerned.

The California Attorney’s General office raised the red flags on YTB, aka Your Travel Biz, recently with a 25 million dollar law suit. Now mlmwatchdog reports that a 100 million dollar class action law suit has been filed by a St. Louis legal firm and that the Illinois AG is working with the California AG.

MLM Watchdog Story

The red flags were being rasised on YTB long ago. There is no reason anyone should be caught off guard. Check out this link. Reality Check

Critical thinking network marketers that I know had no problem seeing the red flags right away years ago.

What do we have here. A ponzi scheme? An illegal pyramid? Any wrong doing at all?

On August 1st, reports came in that the U.S. Attorney’s Office in the District of Columbia had frozen all assets of Ad Surf Daily, also known on the internet as ASD.

No charges have been filed. But likely only because the investigation is still in progress.

Read all about it in the local newspaper’s internet site. Hopefully this site will be available at this link for a while. If not, just do a google search.

I have been teaching people how to avoid pyramid schemes and scams for years. You only need to know some basics to avoid these pyramid schemes and scams. It’s like having your own crystal ball.

“YourTravelBiz.com operates a gigantic pyramid scheme that is immensely profitable to a few individuals on top and a complete rip-off for most everyone else,” Attorney General Brown said. “Today’s lawsuit seeks to shut down the company’s unlawful operation before more people are exploited by the scam.”

The above quote comes directly from the office of the Attorney General for the State of California. You can view the news release here…. http://ag.ca.gov/newsalerts/release.php?id=1596&

Knowledgeable people in the network marketing industry immediately reported, YTB, or Your Travel Biz, as being a pyramid when they first looked at the program. The same was true of Burnlounge, another publicly traded illegal pyramid. When they were sued, they terminated the MLM program within days in hopes of surviving. Note that YTB had just last month announced plans to change to a franchised based pay plan. See http://www.ytb.com/downloads/franchiseInfo.pdf

It is unfortunate, but our industry suffers from unscrupulous people taking advantage of other people who do not always critical thinkers. Think MLM SCAMS.

As gasoline prices continue to rise the MLM gasoline scams keep showing up on the seen.

One site that I use for information on scams and wrong doing in our industry is MLM WatchDog. Rod Cook, who owns this site, just happens to have been put into a position where he had to learn about the legal vs. illegal in regards to marketing of gasoline additives.

So rather than me tell you what to watch out for and why you should be running from all of them, let’s let Rod tell you at his site. The main site is MLM WatchDog.

There is a link on the main page titled, “MLM Gasoline Shame“. The link takes you to the first of five reports on the page. You can see all five links at the top right of the page.

Internet MLM scams seem to be everywhere.

At Mentoring For Free, we teach people to avoid MLM scams and bad MLM companies. It is just a small piece of the valuable free skills training that we teach.

I am going to show you one of the simplest techniques to avoid being scammed.

All you have to do is some simple Google research. When looking at a program, just Google the program and the people running it as a scam.

Here is an example using BurnLounge. Your Google search would look like this.

It is NOT in the LIST, It is in the MLM Relationship.

I really think you needed to read that again. The title of this post was not enough for you. Think about the statement.

If you have been on the internet for very long then you have mostly heard that It is in the List. I am telling you it’s not.Tom \

My friend and mentor, Tom “Big Al” Schreiter, has built an enormous online list. He has done it by offering people great free information to build on their MLM Success in exchange for their email address. Then after you get on his list he keeps giving you great free info. He builds relationships with the people on his list.

Now, go to one of Tom’s workshops. And by the way, what a deal, $20 for 3 hours of solid training. You will see that he has relationships with many of the people attending the workshop. Some were built online. Some are people that are attending their second, third or more workshops with Tom. Some are people that Tom has known for twenty or thirty years.

So these people that have relationships with Tom will keep coming to his workshops and buying his material because of the relationships.

What if I had my hands on Tom’s list?

I spent Over $7,000.00 in two years buying leads from my up-line, Funded Franchise, Funded Sponsoring Deals. At first the Two guys from Canada offered us free leads, when that didn’t Penny Dudework they told us to buy their co-op leads for $100 a share.

I sponsored 20 people in two years but no one stayed, they could not purchase the amount of leads needed to get any where. The two guys running these lead scams are still out there today scamming people making money off the innocent.

Penny Dude, New Brunswick, Canada

Now listen to this audio where Michael Dlouhy will introduce you to many full time network marketers and their experience with purchased leads.

I hope we just saved you tons of money. If you found us to late to save yourself any money, then hopefully you learned that your failure in network marketing is not your fault. You were lied to. Now it’s time to get the truth. Read Success In 10 Steps
