David Beckham -LA Galaxy - HerbaLife Scam

Comments

  • Herbalife is very much untouchable and clearly some people are jealous of this fact. Course they know the negative comments. But guess what, the positive comments from people who have used the product properly and have subsequently benefited from it, outweigh the negativity, time and time again. Why? Because the product works! Beckham knows this - his people checked it out! He would never allowed his name to be linked to anything remotely substandard - remember this fact. I have customers who have been able to completely eliminate skin disorders, irritable bowels, for example. This is feedback from them; and a few who are using the product, post surgery, just to optimize their nutrition, replace their lost energy and appetite. As for the countless pounds of lost fat my customers are so happy telling me about? I'm in and I'm staying in, for these reasons. Stop complaining and start necking the stuff. It's your health! Or just continue moaning about the product, if it makes you feel better about yourself. Herbalife Forever, Until proven otherwise. That's the real hard bit for some of you - you just can't find better than it, so dis it - it's a well known tactic, it's not hurting Herbalife though! However, have YOU had your shake today? If not, you could be hurting you! :wink: :heart2:Herbalife

    The growing evidence is that MLM schemes like Herbalife are not completely reliable - Amway is now illegal in the UK, and I believe are struggling in the US.

    Also, there are horror stories from people who have been affected by the sellers and managers, yet the senior levels seem to do nothing about it, why is that?

    I know someone who has lost about 8 stone on Herbalife, so I guess it works for some people.

    He does heavily promote it on his Facebook page and is always saying look at them they use Herbalife products when referring to sports stars etc..

    I must admit I thought it was a bit like those chain letters, whereby only those at the top of the tree get rich.

    He does have a small outlet which sells Herbalife products, but as I say he has loss so much weight since using Herbalife products.

    He didn't lose 8 stone on 'Herbalscam' he lost it by eating less calories and probably exercising more.

    MLMs have been completely discredited as a business.

    They rely on selling penny products for £'s [vitamins, tablets, etc]....all nothing of any true value or worth whatsoever.

    All the evidence points to scams.

    Are you sure of this? Do you have some documentary evidence that he was 100% convinced of its efficacy and that he wouldn’t have endorsed it otherwise?

    I have first-hand experience of well-known celebrities who will promote and endorse treatments or products that they know don’t work and is basically a scam. Yet still they do it because it is very lucrative for them and no doubt justify it to themselves by “well if I didn’t do it then someone else would, so it might just as well be me who makes money out of it”.

    I’ve no evidence that Beckham would stoop to that level, but I know of many sporting celebrities who would. Hence I wouldn’t just assume that Beckham was totally certain of its effectiveness before signing a lucrative contract to promote it.

    There is no independent research-based evidence to back up the claims made by the supplier of Herbalife.

    This firm really annoys me. My other half has been buying this over-priced crap for the last two years from a friend of his. I can't find out if he really believes all the marketing !!!!! or if he just can't say no to his friend. Grrrrrrr.

    hi there, me and my friend had appointment with a herbalife rep today. after all the talk and samples, i asked the 1 question how much does this cost a month? the reply was £105 a month !!!
    OMG who has that sort of money, these days? we went for the 3 days promo at £13.50. My best friend wants to start the course.
    I have just found the products on Amazon cheaper.
    Now my friend wants to work for them, i am not doing a scheme like that again, fell for Anway and Avon already, not again.
    HELP xx:mad:
    love pendle x:(

    Simply tell the scammer to fornicate away.

    Tell your friend to grow up and learn to read.

    So...what's the problem. Can your friend not do the course if you don't? If your friend wants to squander their money, that's up to them, but it doesn't automatically follow that you have to too.
