Is Your Network Marketing Company a Fraud? Simple Techniques to Protect Yourself from Being Scammed

Unfortunately, the reputation of the network marketing industry has been terribly marred by the number of frauds and scams out there.

You need to be viligant and alert against possible frauds and scams.

So how to do it?

Here’s a list of a number of low-tech and high-tech ways to find out if a network marketing opportunity you are looking into is a possible fraud or scam.

Is there an address?

Look for a real legitimate address.  Don’t settle for a phone number or an email address.  Go to their website and check for a real street name, building number, with city and post code.  If you can’t find all of the above, then be very suspicious.  Also, another clue is the lack of pictures or names of the company’s executives.  Definitely be suspicious if you can’t find that either.

There is an address but what kind of address is it?

Okay, maybe you found an address with a city name and post code but look carefully at it.  Is it a real street name or is it a PMB?  A PMB is a commercial mailbox establishment.  This is a big tipoff that the company is probably not legitimate.  They don’t even have a real post office mailbox to receive their mail.

How are they asking you to send payment?

Are they allowing to send a payment via regular mail or are they insisting that you send them payment via Fedex or UPS or some other express delivery company?  If they are, then you need to run away quickly because the chances are very likely that this company is a possible fraud or scam.

Spy on them courtesy of Google Earth

Yes, that’s right.  Practice being James Bond and use the most hi-tech means at your disposal to get the advantage, use Google Earth to spy on the location of the supposed MLM company via satellite.  What kind of location is it?  Is it a trailer house or a real office?  Does the location even exist?  Can you see any signs of a real company at work?

Use Google to do an advanced search on the company

Go to Google advanced search and input the name of the company with the owner’s name plus the word “scam” and see what results you get.  Go through, at least, two pages of results and analyze any data that comes up.  Do the same with forums.  Go through all forums, looking for messages, complaints about the company.

A word of caution though!  Be objective in what you are analyzing.  Some people enjoy just “bashing” network marketing companies and opportunities.  Sort out the “bashers” from those who are giving legitimate complaints and voicing real concerns.

Also, include as part of your research, a check on the name of whoever registered the website domain, especially if it’s a new company claiming new revolutionary proprietary technologies, products, or services.  Go to www.whois.net to look up the domain.  Companies that have legitimate offerings would work on a project for more than 3 months and their executives would register the domain name first.

For faster research, use Alexa

Alexa.com shows the web traffic to a site.  It ranks the company according to how much traffic they get to their site.  Generally the lower the number, the more traffic to their site.  The some of the oldest network marketing companies such as Quixtar or Mary Kay generally rank around 6,000 or 7,000 on Alexa.  That’s considered a top ranking.

Be aware to keep it in context though.  A new company that has only been in operation for 120 days might get an Alexa ranking of 340,000 and this would be considered “good” since the company is relatively new.  However, for a 5 year old company to get this kind of ranking would be considered horrendous.  A 5 year old company should have a much lower ranking than that on Alexa and it would be wise to keep away from that type of company.

Take a close look at the details

Maybe you don’t want to engage in all of this research even though it would be wise, there are still ways to spot a fraud or scam if you look closely at the details of their policy.

Do they allow you to pay with a credit card that accepts charge backs?  If they don’t, run!  What about returns?  Any honest company will allow refunds on products returned within 60 – 90 days.  If they don’t, then you need to walk away.

Do “common sense” research

Don’t get excited by the money, use the company’s products or services first.  If the product or service excites you, then go for the money.  Spending some to test a company and their offerings first is a wise way to spot winners from losers, possible frauds or scams.  Also, try sharing or selling the products yourself to test how others react to them as well.

How much is the startup fee?

The general rule of thumb agreed upon now is that it shouldn’t cost you more than $500 to start.  In fact, this is taken so seriously that in the Unites States, 21 states have made it state law and two states have made the startup fee even lower, $200.  So be very wary of high startup fees.  It is generally not a good sign of a trustworthy network marketing opportunity.

Check for official complaints lodged against the company with the local government of the city where the company is located.

You’re keeping an eye out for the number of complaints and how many are unresolved.  If you find a number higher than 3 – 5, hold off on joining.  This could indicate serious problems.

Be sure to go as high through the ranks of all your local government branches as you can to find any official complaints, lawsuits, or unresolved cases lodged against the company.

Be discerning about the marketing language.

Yes, run away from all those ads promoting “hot” companies, “get rich quick” opportunities, anything that sounds too good to be true probably is too good to be true.

If you see capital letters or exclamation marks to lend the promotion an air of urgency, this is a sign of “false legitimacy”.  Also, disclaimers that read, “This is not a pyramid scheme or scam”.  The fact is that legitimate companies don’t contain such claims.

Yes!  Read the fine print in the contract even if you need a lawyer to help you.

This fine print is enforceable in a court of law and it constitutes part of the contract.  You shouldn’t sign it if you are not 100% comfortable with it and if you need to pay extra to a lawyer to help you understand it, consider that insurance against being scammed out of all your money.

Investigate and ask questions about your comp plan.

Understand that thing like the back of your hand.  Engage the help of an expert if need be to help you analyze it.  But don’t overlook the importance of understanding how you’ll get paid inside and out.  What’s the sure sign of a faulty comp plan?  If your comp plan only pays for signing up new people and not for the sale of products and services, you need to walk away fast!

Use all of the above suggestions to protect yourself from being involved in a fraud or getting scammed.  You don’t have to implement each and every one but implement, at least, the 3 easiest and most common sense ones to you to stay protected and safe.

entrepreneur or business owner?

Are you a entrepreneur or a business owner? Most of you are business owners according to Dan Kennedy. He said if you have a hard time explaining what you do you are probably a entrepreneur owner. A network marketer is a business owners where a entrepreneur would be someone who may be a network marketer but they would also earn income from Youtube, Google adsence, affiliate programs, they may sell their educational programs, they may also set up marketing campaigns for company, hold seminars, do personal 1-on-1 and group coaching for a fee, they would also set up businesses in multiple industries. This is what Richard Branson does he is a entrepreneur he run over 400 companies.

Network Marketing – A Faucet That Never Stops Pouring Cash

It amazes me so many people don’t fully understand the value of network marketing. In fact, many who are currently involved don’t truly grasp the opportunity they hold in their hands. The #1 question I always hear when I attend a network marketing presentation is: “How quickly can I make money with this business?”

Choosing An MLM Opportunity

So, you want to get your hand into a home business. Maybe, you want to earn a little extra money beyond your jobs salary. You’ve done your homework, and you’re contemplating joining an MLM business. There is the promise of little or no start-up capital, which is right up your alley. Work a few hours and realize income that would make you think about leaving your day job. Yeah, you’ve heard them all.

But which one among them is the right one for you?

This can be a very overwhelming part of the process, as there are thousands of MLM companies that have entered the market since Amway with its Nutralite product line pioneered the trend in the early 1950s. And with the flood of information in todays age, it is no wonder many people end up confused rather than informed.

Truthfully, there is no such thing as the best MLM company to join. You have to consider your aptitude, your market, your product, and other aspects to have the best fit. Consider the following pointers to get to the right MLM Company for you.

You want a company with a solid, quality product. It would be best if you yourself had been using this product and could attest to its high quality and effectiveness. It is so much easier to sell a product you believe in and not just parrot a line given during the sales demo. You also need the product to have a market. You can’t generate income from inventory unless it is converted into sales.

In some regard, you’ll want to look at the company behind the product. Do they have a solid background? Are they capable of leadership and a team that you could rely upon to assist you with your orders as well as other concerns? Is the company competitive and have the durability to stand up to emerging businesses.

Then, there is the matter of compensation.

Do they have a solid scheme or do they have a history of changing it every now and then? Is it easily understood or do you always need to have a company representative to explain the details.

Are the requirements achievable? Working is fun when the target is challenging yet within reach. On another note, you also want to consider the people you will be working with. Are these the type of people you would want to be around with? It helps a lot when there a pleasant people around you.

The information you need before you can select the right company for you may not be had so easily. But it is crucial you have it or you might not have any success story to speak of.

Ambit Energy Travel Rewards Review

I subscribe to over one hundred news feeds on the subject of Network Marketing (yeah, so you don't have to) and a lot of the time I run across what I consider to be cookie cutter/fake reviews.

But once in a while I run across someone who has posted a real review.  When I find one, (good or bad) I try to make sure we cover it here at MLM Blog.

That said, here is one customers review about the travel rewards associated with Ambit Energy.  

Post your thoughts in the comments!

I am a customer of Ambits since 2007. The rate for electricity is average but their "Travel Rewards" are a joke. In 2007 they had gas cards and grocery vouchers that looked nice. Those were taken away and they only kept the air fare and vacation packages". I called my travel agent and got a 1 week trip, including airfare, to Cozumel for $710 a person at an all inclusive 5 star resort!. Ambits free airfare is only applicable if you stay at one of their selected hotels wich range upwards of $160 a night for a minimum of 7 days'. Their Cancun package, etc?. does not include airfare and is only at Grand Incentives hotels!. These are not all inclusive and by the time fees, deposits, etc are appplied you've spent the same amount or more than I have just using a travel agent|. Not to mention the dates are somewhere between September through February, you have to request 90 days ahead of time, etc'. What a joke! Just bring back the REAL incentives like gas cards and grcery vouchers with no strings attached.. I have 68,000 points with Ambit and they are good for nothing!

How the Desire for “Fairness” Prevents You from Having Success

We all want to be treated “fairly” in life.  In fact, it’s a basic tenet of self-esteem, don’t let others walk all over you.  Don’t play “victim” and when you are being treated “unfairly”, call others on it.

That is a “fair” way to look at things and there’s certainly nothing wrong with this perspective.

But what happens when our sense of “fairness” turns dogmatic becomes more about our “egos” and our desire to always be the “winner” in a very limited and narrow sense?

In these cases, our sense of “fairness” can actually prevent us from being successful in life because it limits our point of view to a very arbitrary and superficial idea of “fairness”.

If what was written above confuses you, just keep on reading about an experiment performed in the 1970’s by social scientists, that later came to be termed “the justice mechanism”.

The Justice Mechanism

This is the primary block that most people have that prevents them from being successful.  The “justice mechanism” is a term coined by social scientists to define the feeling that most people have of wanting to be treated “fairly” in all of their business transactions.  However, while the desire to be treated “fairly” is certainly legitimate and not at all wrong, it is sometimes overly dogmatic and egotistically determined.

What exactly is meant by “overly dogmatic and egotistically determined”?

Consider this experiment performed by social scientists in the late seventies and repeated various times since all over the world in many different countries and types of cultures around the world.

The original experiment was performed in the U.S. in the 1970’s.  It involved taking a group of participants, pairing them up, and giving each pair $100. The pair had to decide how to split the $100 equally between the two of them.

The rules were that participant A would have the power to decide how to split the money.  “A” could decide to split it any way they wanted – i.e. 50/50, 90/10, 60 /40 – in short any way that they desired at all, there were no rules whatsoever about how they had to split it.

The catch was that participant B had all the power to either accept “A’s” decision or veto it.  If “B” wasn’t happy with the way that “A” would decide to split the money, then “B” had the power to nullify everything and if that happened, then no one got anything at all.

What scientists discovered was that in 90% of the cases, “A” would choose to split 50/50 and “B” would accept and both would walk away from the table happy and $50 richer each.

But in some cases, “A” would decide, for whatever reason, not to split the money evenly and “A” would want more than 50% of the money and leave “B” with a much smaller percentage.

In all of these cases, every single one, without exception, “B” would null and void “A’s” decision and prefer to walk away with no money than to accept less than 50%.

Now some of you at this point may be nodding your heads in agreement with “B” and feeling they did the “right” thing because anything less than 50% is not “fair”.

But here’s the key perspective that’s often overlooked by this point of view.

It was free money that none of them had to begin with and the fact that they were both going to get this money for “free” and with no work or effort on their part to have it was not something to be taken for granted.  It was a “lucky break” and “easy” money that was not going to come their way again.

So really, if you look at the situation objectively, considering that this is going to be “free” and “easy” money, wouldn’t gaining any amount of money be better than walking away with no money at all?

After all, even if “B” got less than 50% of the money, “B” would still be walking away from the table $10 or $40 richer, wouldn’t they?  And that is $10 or $40 more than what they had when they walked into the room.  They would still be coming out winning only if they would just put their egos aside and not worry so much about things being “fair” in an arbitrary sense.  After all, the argument could be made that it was still “fair” to get $10 or $40 that they didn’t work for nor make any effort to gain on their part.

Yet, in all cases, none of the participant B’s even considered this point of view.

So the social scientists thought that perhaps it was because the U.S. was a first-world country and $100 was really nothing worth gaining in terms of livelihood.  They decided to perform the experiment in a third-world country where $100 meant, at least, a month’s worth of salary.

But to their shock, the results were the same.  The experiment was then expanded to various cultures and countries around the world and still, the results invariably came back the same.

Which pointed to the fact that the “justice mechanism” is an internal block we all have that prevents us from truly having success.

Rather than being concerned all the time about “fairness” and getting what we “deserve”, be more concerned with the greater value of things and look at the greater things we gain from engaging in transactions where we may not necessarily get 50/50 out of it.  Not everything in life can be determined by an arbitrary sense of “fairness” where all benefits are split 50/50.  There are times when the gain, while initially it may seem to be less than 50/50, can actually be greater when viewed from a long-term perspective.

MLM For Fun & Profit

Many people will agree that multi-level marketing programs are a great way to earn extra money, or even working towards complete financial independence by participating in profitable MLM opportunities.

However, most of those people that are involved in MLM schemes will tell you that it’s not always as easy as it may appear, and in order to be successful within the MLM industry, you will need to dedicate yourself to consistently promoting and growing your down line.

The negative reputation that MLM companies have developed over the years of unstable programs and opportunities failing is a major setback when it comes to getting people to join. It will be up to you to present your MLM opportunity in a refreshing, new way that will be both appealing to those considering joining, and honest in terms of potential and effort required.

Another important aspect to consider is the fact that there are a number of these MLM companies out there. If you had to ask any sales man what the key factors are to successful selling, they will tell that belief in your product is one of them.

Ideally, you need to find a company that has products that you feel comfortable promoting. That way it is easier to get people to join and sell the products. You also have the transparency required to show people that these schemes can actually work in your favor, regardless of what other people tell you.

All things considered, there are people out there that are making these multi-level marketing plans work for them and they are making small fortunes for themselves. You just need to find one that suits you best; that you are proud to be a part of and promote.

Keep an open mind, be diligent, and make your self some money!
