Pyramid Scheme MLM, Targeting undergraduate University Students
updated: 2006-05-27 10:05:23 MYT

FEEDBACK 1

Regarding those pyramid direct sales / MLM plans, Mr. Su says that many peoples have tried to convince him many times to join them, but Mr. Su has refused to do so. Mr. Su is currently a year-3 university student. He is working as a trainee in one company located at Skudai. He still left 1 more year to graduate.

Mr. Su commented that he realizes that Direct Selling / MLM agents are focusing on undergraduate and just graduated university student. This group of direct selling agents mostly appears at one restaurant in Taman Nusa Bestari, Skudai and their HQ is inside an office complex at Taman Pelangi, Johor Bahru.

Mr. Su disclosed that there are many undergraduate students from Mr. Su’s university have joined the pyramid direct selling / MLM plans.

Regarding the technique used by those agents, he pointed out that these agents will come together with their Uplines, by driving a luxury car, wearing branded clothes to approach those who are new in society. Agents will convince those people by using themselves as examples on how they get rich after joining the direct selling plans.

RM 2345 required as membership fees

Mr. Su indicated, to join this pyramid direct selling / MLM plans, you need to pay RM2345 membership fees. After that, you will become a level-1 agent. You will get a set of fragrance and perfumes products.

“If a level-1 agent wants to upgrade himself to level-2, he needs to pay another RM30000+ . If he wants to upgrade to level-3, need to pay around RM50000.” Mr. Su added.

He advised to those who are new in society not to get convinced easily, because stories and examples on getting rich after joining direct selling / MLM can be created and faked easily.

FEEDBACK 2

Family members strongly against !!
19-year-old nephew is under the trap !!

Mr. Tan, who stays in Kluang, indicated, that his 19-year-old nephew has paid around RM2000 to enter the pyramid direct selling / MLM business and eventually almost has to pay another RM30000+.

Mr. Tan says, his nephew didn’t pay another RM30000+ after family strongly against it and advise him, and has read in newspaper regarding the news of cheating and conning in pyramid direct selling / MLM business.

Spreaded to Kluang Baru

He disclosed that the pyramid direct selling / MLM business has spreaded to Kluang Baru. These agents are focusing on secondary school students or those who are just graduated not long ago and new in society.

He pointed out;

first, the Uplines will tell those new members (level-1) to recruit another 5 people to join into this direct selling business.

After that, these Uplines will tell those level-1 members that if they want to upgrade themselves to Level-2 by selling products is very difficult.

Then the Uplines will convince the victims by telling them after they have invested another RM30000+, they can get earnings without working. They will be upgraded to Level-2, and will be able to get commission from their 5 downlines directly.

You know why they are so aggresive in targeting the undergraduate students? Because they thought students are so naive enough to be cheated by them! Bloody hell.. they turned 2 of my used-to-be-best buddy into monsters! Both of them are just so naive and stupid to believe in everything SYN offered. Gosh..They are not even human now. Beleive me. Frankly speaking, i'm not an anti-MLM person. I respect their way of living and working and i hope they do respect ours too. But the problem with this SYN thingy of LB, is that they are so fcuking annoyingly, keep getting on my nerves. I'm definately, formally registered as an anti-LB now! I'm happy with my life even thou i almost end up penniless each month. What's with that Billionaires’ dream and "enjoy your whole life without working with LB" thingy? That's so bullshit and fcuking pathetic. Who cares anyway? Duh..i'm still happy with my life. That's what really matters! This is reality man...continue with your childish, stupid and fcuking idea and stop bugging me. Since you don't respect us and who we want to live as, then we won't be respecting yours as well. I promise i'm going to beat the shit out of them if they dare to touch me, my family or my frens again! Stay away from my life all you mutherfcukers. Enough said.

I just heard from a friend that LB's training is as strong as AMWAY. A friend of his failed to continue his business in LB(no need to give reasons, those who are not in LB knows best),give up and go back to work BUT insisted that the Company, marketing plan and products are all very good. Just that he is not suitable for MLM.
Oh, how stupid !!
Everyone is suitable for MLM as long as he knows more than 2 or 3 people and if the Company and products are good and sellable.

ZEUS SAID...

WHEN CAN MANAGE THEIR TIME, STUDENT ENCOURAGE GO INTO MLM BECAUSE:

1) NOT 24 HOUR STUDY.
2) LEARN COMM AND LEAD SKILL
3) EARN MONEY
4) ABSORB MORE KNOWLEDGE.

BUT BECAREFUL, MUST CHOOSE THE LEGAL MLM, WHICH ALREADY REGISTER.

AS THEY LEGAL, THEN IS CAN JOIN, CHOOSE THE SUITABLE MLM.

So where do student's fork out RM2,000 to RM45,000?

From you? Obviously not! From their parent's hard earned money! If a student doesn't have the money it is downright unethical, no, evil even, to ask them to get the money from their parents, if not worse from their friends.

Their parent's send them to further their studies and not to be brain-washed and join the cult of SYN!

they also can passed the exam, take a good result, but they also can earn pocket money, and learn many thing that lecture didnt tell u.

teh pohwah, used ur brain think deeply? is it 2500 really important for u? is yes, is mean u never earn 2500 in ur life. if not, why so crazy about 2500.

when talk about reputation, i asked u is it DCHL illegal??? is is system illegal, police kacau or not?? used ur brain think again.

I can afford 2500 easily.

Answer the question.

Where is an average student from an average family going to find 2500.

I know you come from a rich family. You can afford 2500. How about normal people here?

Don't assume anything about me you cultist. I know more about your cult than you think.

i dont know what the wrong of your guys. i am the victim. i invest thousand. and i try to bring people out. a lot of there upline say they will teach me but in fact thry are just scolding me because i cant get even one people in. but fortunately, i m not getting any of my fren in as i dont harm anyone. initially, they told me that the stock can be refund within days but during the day they calculate the stock for me, they take all the "unreturnable stock" that they called signature pieces that they said the value will be increase. but now nobody look after me as i am weak and have less convincing power. i am only years old, that is all my saving that initially i want to use to get married. fortunately, my gf willing to restart everything with me and i am using only my own money that i save for 5 years after i graduated from u. i am not borrowing any money from anyone. this is the most fortunate one. le suppoerter, if you guys is so sincere that you only want to help people, ask your steven yeam or your uplines especially the dukes to repay back the money to those people that cant success la. initially, uplines ask me to trust them wat, they will definite help me to succeed and get better life wat. these LB people give a empty dream to people especially the young people and actually this is the batch of people who destroy their d/line and their fren. coa after this, their need to take times to recover you know. k is not the small sum especially i save for 5 years and i am very hardworking people. maybe, lb suppoerter will just told me that you join the wrong team or you got the wrong upline bla bla bla. but initially, you are the one who told me that SYN is a family and this is wat your duke winnie tell me. i am not trying to scold anyone here coz me myself need to bear my own responsibility as i make the own decision to join this business but please dont talk so proud that you guys is really good and seems doing nothing wrong to any of your d/lines or ypur fren. i am the immediate victim that i nearly lost my job and gf,she nly one that will support me. today, you are pruodly to tell everyone that you make big money and you drive big car, but please ask back yourself sincerely that is that really that 100% of your organisation is making money now or at least 60%. i goubt the answer. i am sorry that if my word hurt you but this is nearly wat i feel

Every business has limits.
Some reache limits early, some reach later.
Some have limits on sales side as the market isn't big enough, some have on the supply side with logistics, resources etc.

If and when you venture into a business you need to consider CAN YOU make this work FOR YOU.

Many people are just to greedy and build up unrealistic expectations. Secondly they do not realise that there is effort behing success.
That is why winning the lotter isn't called success. It taked WORK.
