It's just against my principles to make money off the loss of others. Especially people I know.I don't know about any other programs, I was just commenting on this particular one. The 2 questions to ask to sniff out any PS are:
1. Do I have to pay money to "get in"
2. Do I make money by getting others to pay to "get in"
That usually cuts through all the smoke and mirrors they try to put up. They will always follow up with a "but...". By that time I'm long gone.
So I guess Dans Deals is a "pyramid scheme" because for specific credits their is annual fee to get in, and Dan's Deals gets people to sign up for credit cards through their website and they make money and get miles for doing so.What a great Ponzi scheme, right?!
Multiple Level Marketing/Network Marketing is spoken about very highly by Robert Kiyosaki "Rich Dad Poor Dad", numerous other authors, and is the reason why Warren Buffet bought the direct sales/network marketing company "Pampered Chef".
People unfortunately have all sorts of negative connotations because in many cases, the product is simply not one of value. In the case of WorldVentures - the product is amazing, the deals are exceptional, the training is stellar, the comp plan is quite impressive....and people who speak ill of it don't have the right info.
One could say that it's also a scam to travel the world for free using miles and upgrades and selling people credit cards on this site to fuel your free travel. That's why it's important to speak to intelligent people with the right info.
