There are those who scream scam and there are scams. I tell you, I can write about scams until the cow comes home. But rarely does the public listen. There will be those who will claim you are a scammer simply because you were just another member of a deal gone bust.
What defines a scam? There are those blatant deals whose initial purpose is to scam you. Hands down — no doubt about it.
The problem with folks on the Internet (well offline as well since the Internet is a reflection of the ‘REAL WORLD’), people join a deal and sit down sucking on lollipops. When they don’t make any cash or I don’t build a team FOR THEM or I don’t drive them to the top of the network marketing holy grail, they scream scam. Shucks! Get to work and shut up or get out of network marketing.
What part of network or marketing do you NOT understand? If you do not know people, network marketing is not for you? If you do not want to market or speak with people or even listen to advice, then again … this is not for you. You work — then you EAT! You eat bon bons. You get FAT and BROKE. If you don’t get paid for doing nothing, regardless of whether it is a legitimate deal or not, you get what you worked for. We, me included, just need to be more discerning as to what is a great deal not only for us, but for our team. Because if it is just good for us, then it will be a temporary rah rah and your team will lose.
I’ve learned that and changed my approach. I don’t dabble much these days. And guess what? It feels gooood!
What I find is that many of you come to me with these deals and swear that these shiny new pennies are da bomb and Faith Sloan you just have to get in RIGHT NOW!
Then you call me out my name when I analyze the compensation plan and tell you not to waste your time. You guys are cruel! So stop asking for my advice. Oops! You didn’t ask for my advice. You asked me to join underneath you so I can slave for your lazy butt. Then tomorrow, you quit and tell me how it is the worst program/business ever. You little bugger, you! LOL!
On the other hand, there are folks in scam forums who remain anonymous and trash everyone who ever built a large team online. They put everyone into a scam bucket and take a baseball bat and beat their brains in AFTER they break their legs. They have no leg to stand on but they get a kick out of beating down others. These so call scam busters would be great allies if ONLY they would come out with FACTS about the people they are throwing libel bombs upon. But that would be hoping for too much. LOL! That is their raison d’etre (Reason for existence). What a sad life these folks have. But I am not one to worry about them. Life has a way of eventually evening out the playfield and they will fumble the ball and their underwear will show. Many of them are scammers themselves using their diatribe as a distraction. shhhh…. don’t tell anyone.
I read this online somewhere….
““MLM cults are sort of a human equivalent of a computer virus, replicating themselves all over the place.”
John T. Reed
I like …
“Scam Buster cults are sort of a human equivalent of a computer virus, replicating themselves all over the place and ‘anonymously’ creating the most prevalent scams while pointing the finger at the OTHER guy.”

Then there are those deals on http://faithsloan.com where the FACTS (not conjecture or subjective blather or ludicrous accusations) are presented. People attack the presenter. Then 2 weeks or 2 months later , they come back to say ‘You were right”. Well, if we as the people refuse to participate, then the proliferation of scams would suffer a blow.
So Faith Sloan says stop giving them your cash. Stop listening to the hype which says ‘no sponsoring required’ or ‘massive spillover’ or ‘we have a 5000 alexa ranking in 2 weeks! WOO HAH!”. All of that hype hits you emotionally but it also puts you financially in the red. “I can get you big cash with no effort on your behalf!” “FILL YOUR POCKETS WITH ALL BANK OVERNIGHT!” Come on ladies and gentlemen. You aren’t stupid. I know that. You are just hoping, hurting, and desperate. But none of that means you should put your brain on hold and let the scammers take you for a ride.
STOP THE INSANITY.
This is 2011. We have to learn eventually. Then we MUST stop enabling the scammers.
p.s. Don’t believe everything you hear nor see online in Google, in Discussion Forums etc. The people who write and submit articles postings, etc are just people. You do NOT know their motives. Search out FACTS. Without FACTS there exist no premise nor CONCLUSION. Don’t be a sheeple. Stand up and DEMAND the truth. WARNING: You will be laughed at and ridiculed.
God Bless
