  • You beat me to it, but you missed that it is actually two new posters (jjluck and piddy77) who suddenly arrived and started singing the praises of this company, how very surprising :rolleyes: and both of them have only managed one post each.

    How many times do we suddenly see new members arriving supporting whatever the latest scam is. Ain't google a wonderful thing.

    :D

    Not a newbie....I have been on here for a couple of years now, was one of the first to reclaim bank charges etc...but I felt I had to stick up for something that you obviously haven't investigated thoroughly.. If you asked Martin himself about the business model then he would probably tell you (as other financial wizards and economists have done) that it is the perfect business model for the time and technological age that we are living in. As recently as last Saturday an economist was singing the praises of Herbalife in the business pages of 'The Independent', Herbalife was the only company that he mentioned as a perfect example of an ethical and profitable home business. Why not cut the negativity and let people find out for themselves. :j

    How odd that your join date is shown as July 2008.

    Oh yes, I am sure Martin would fully support a pyramid selling scheme :rolleyes:

    How's about some links to these articles then showing this to be the 'perfect business model'? :rotfl:

    Scammers Dont Like Getting Caught Out Scamming.....and You Are Scammers.....do Not Fall For These Cons As You Will Put The Legwork In And They Reap The Rewards.....
    It is nice to see the value of your house going up'' Why ?
    Unless you are planning to sell up and not live anywhere, I can;t see the advantage.
    If you are planning to upsize the new house will cost more.
    If you are planning to downsize your new house will cost more than it should
    If you are trying to buy your first house its almost impossible.
  • I nearly got sucked into Herbalife a couple of years ago - message was left on my ansaphone by a really happy, excited chap. He then thought he put the phone down and spoke to his 'mentor' without realising he was still recording on my ansaphone and started discussing how he was making no money and spending hours each day trying. He sounded really depressed, his mentor just kept trying to get him to continue. Great eye opener!!
  • well i work as a herbalife distributor and yes it is multi level marketing but the product i sell to people is of good value and does them wounders , i also use it myself.

    i dont force people to be apart of it by cold calling and i promote it correctly. the problem with some people selling this product is they do it the wrong way giving it a bad name.

    the 5£ CD this thread starts with could be given away free and i personally do that, but it costs me £5 to buy cost price.

    if you have any questions i will answer it here and will tell you the truth
