Well a couple of days ago I decided to go ahead and order this online business opportunity. I heard about it for weeks on my favorite radio station and it was promoted by a few of the host that are on that station. Because I find these hosts very reputable - I thought it most likely could not be a scheme. After I report here, I will be contacting this redio station and its host because surely they do not realize that they are lending their good name to a scheme! Or do they care - is it just about the money?
I was interested in making an extra $500.00 or so a month just to help out with the household income. So I ordered the CD package. It does not tell you upfront what the business is, so I ordered it for 9.95 and then if I kept the CD I would be charged 29.95. Well I get the pkg. And review it. It still does not tell you what the business is. They state "just as you are checking us out, we are checking you out to see if you are right for our business". So they don't want to give their secrets away. So I became leery then, but thought, well I have come this far, so I'll call the mentor and see what they have to say. What have I lost 9.95, which they say is refundable.
So I speak with the mentor and go thru their screening process and still am not told much. But I am told it is Herbalife. She gives me the pitch and then hits me with a $149.00 fee that will pay for the "starter pkg." AND you have to buy this or they will not give you the code needed to view the next step which tells how everything is run and all their great secrets!
So I said okay, but was then very suspicious. I asked if this could be refunded and it would be maybe 50.00. So I thought, alright I will go through the next step. I'm told I will surely make that cost back in the very first month. I can stay at the distributor level or become a Supervisor/Mentor like "my mentor".
The mentor made $900.00 their first month and now is making $1000.00 or more a month. Its all "turn-key" and everything is set-up. So I asked, "With this $149.00 I will get the starter pkg with products and the internet site to start the business?" I was told yes!"You get the Web site and there is no inventory or income to keep up with. You simply advertise your web site and it sells itself and you get a check", this is essentially what I was told! You get a free ad and then all the others cost money. That was the only thing I was told upfront. But with this free ad button you will make the money you spent back for sure!
Well the next morning, I start the 2nd half of this process, I get into the second step and find that to make any money you have to spend at the very least $2,500.00 up front on the products. You are in charge of the shipping etc. You have to sell and then you get your money back. But if it does not sell, you are out of luck - I guess. You also have a choice of three Web sites to choose from with a monthly fee - Yeah! But to sell anything and make anything you HAVE TO choose the most expensive Web site. So you are out that money monthly as well. 59.95
They tell you nothing upfront, which is very deceptive. They should tell you what your cost is upfront and let you decide if this is right for you. But they are sneaky and take your money before you know what you are getting into.
I stopped this in its tracks before I got in any deeper! Don't be sucked into this scam. If you do not have $3,000.00 or more to blow and take this chance do not do it! This market is saturated and it is not worth you utility bill! I should have stopped at the $9.95 fee and knew better when I saw they did not tell what this was all about.
I worked about 10 years ago for a wellness company and they told you upfront what you would be doing and waht the cost was. It makes a difference when you are honest in business. They are not and I am writing this to worn people - do not get sucked in!
Workathome.com is where it all started and I have already read other stories where people put in more than just 149.95, thousands of dollars lost! People like this should not be in business. I went to the Herbalife site and I don't know if this EHOMES is really even associated with them. So BEWARE!!! It is true - if it sounds too good it probably is. Good luck!
