Pyramid Schemes

I am honestly concerned about the number of people I've heard falling for this recent pyramid scheme scam... I'm not telling anyone what to do, if you want to throw away your money, please, do so. But, please be informed as to what a pyramid scheme is... If you have any common sense and you've given these scammers your credit card information, cancel it, call your bank and change your card #, and do it quickly...

A simple five question test to figure out if it's legit, or a scheme:

(if any of you can take that test and NOT figure out that you're in an illegal pyramid scheme, then, well, you're lying).

I know you guys that are already part of the scheme probably think you're in a legitimate MLM system. But, you're not. You're part of a pyramid scheme that will ultimately screw you and take your money. I hope that you understand this and stop trying to recruit your family, fellow officers, and even strangers, into this scheme before you've lost hundreds (if not thousands) of dollars on it....

Sounds like a certain product that was going around the department. A certain Acai drink some were selling. Things that make you go hmmmm...

HATER !!!! You can come with me each month when I cash my checks...

$800,000 A YEAR. DON'T YOU WISH YOU WERE IN HIS SHOES. STOP CRYING LADIES.

Not fooled you should change your name to I am a fool.

I just want to tell you guys that I have a live and let live policy when it comes to "multi-level marketing operations." I certainly don't want to hurt anyone's income. However, I would say that most of you have been around long enough to recognize this for what it is. The big problem that you are going to run into with this GHP and Mona Vie for that matter, has nothing to do with the products themselves or with the structure of the pyramid. It is the fact that we are entering the early phases of a recession and possibly a period of stagflation. Stagflation is period of high inflation and stagnant growth, usually accompanied by high unemployment. When times get bad and people are looking to jettison some expenses, healthy supplements and juices area among the first things to go. That means that you have a limited market within which to grow.

I know one of our guys made some serious cash on Mona Vie. I also know a lot of people who made a killing in real estate, but those were different times. For each of them, I know 20 people who lost money or just broke even.

I do wish you guys luck with this, but I can assure you that I will neither be getting rich nor losing my money from this product. Unless, of course, someone develops a GHP/Mona Vie hybrid. Then I'm all over it.

How about a hint as to your identity?

check out one of your own who made it big in the scam at monavieonthemove.com very interesting. don't be a hater just because you can't do it ...

one of your own officers is making some serious cash in this so called scam. have you checked out monavieonthemove.com ? may be we all should jump in... you really should do some research before you knock it.

First off, oh uninformed one, one of our PREVIOUS Officers made money in Monavie. Several of our CURRENT Officers lost a TON of money on Monavie.

However, this is not the scam I was talking about. So, maybe you "really should do some research before you" post something....

Oh, and trying to post your advertisements as a message is really lame, dude.
