MLM Schemes and Scams
« on: December 20, 2015, 10:47:53 PM »
Lets discuss MLM Schemes and scams here. If there are enough people interested maybe we can open a page for support and funding to raise awareness about these scams. Especially in Lakewood.

Fair warning - Any PMs sent in response to forum posts are fair game for ridicule in public.

I agree, we should raise money for this cause. In fact, you'll get 2% for each person you recruit to raise money, and 1% of the donations from whomever they recruit.

Try file a complete with the Utah BBB. A big selling point for this MLM is their accredation.

Thank you for contacting the Better Business Bureau serving Utah in regards to Wealth Generators LLC. 


As you are aware, our office maintains a current BBB Business Review for Wealth Generators LLC.  As noted in the review: BBB has determined that Wealth Generators LLC meets BBB accreditation standards, which include a commitment to make a good faith effort to resolve any consumer complaints.

For more information:  BBB Code of Business Practices (BBB Accreditation Standards)


Please note that BBB does not report on the validity and/or legitimacy of a business, but rather upon the file experience we have with a business.

You may also want to contact: 
The Utah Division of Consumer Protection(801) 530-6601. The Utah Division of Consumer Protection (a Division of the Utah Department of Commerce) is the state agency that regulates the Utah Sales Practices Act.  They may have additional information, let you know about their complaint process, and ifcomplaints against the business have been filed through their office.

You are welcome to file a complaint.  You can do that from the BBB Business Review under QUICK LINKS, on the right side of the page, or by clicking here on File a Complaint.

To review Customer Reviews, please click on the "Customer Reviews" tab near the top of the page, just below "BBB Business Review", and above the business name.  Then scroll down to "Customer Reviews Summary," below which are small green boxes.  If the box has a + in it, click on it to view the Customer Reviews. 

Complaint Details are unavailable for the 2 complaints closed with the BBB in the last 3 years (historically how far we go back regarding both Complaints and Customer Reviews).  In order to publish complaint details, all personal information has to be removed from a complaint.  The typical reason complaints are not available is because information submitted to the BBB by either the consumer or the business was in a non-editable form. 

Thanks again for contacting the BBB Serving Utah.  Please let us know if you have any questions or if we can be of assistance.

Regards,


Hank Parry, Receptionist
Better Business Bureau Serving Utah

What do you base your forex trading strategy on? Or is it more like recreational gambling?

I ask because I honestly don't understand how or why the average layman trades forex.

Yup, BBB means about as much as saying ® means that a product is trustworthy.
