Beware Mindspring.com spam and MLMs promising lots of money with no work
matman@mindspring.com sent me this spam email:
This company has it all. Great products, comp plan, free web site and full automation. Check out this exciting opportunity at www.myberrytree.com/don't bother this isn't a real link.
I went to the website (though I think start-up MLMs are a waste of time because you should go with a proven company) where I saw a guaranteed 25 thousand dollar bonus. And I can make over $1,300 without doing any work. All I have to do is pay 49.95 PLUS shipping and handling. Obviously a total scam - so stay away.
It's unfortunate that the network marketing industry is plagued with this crap. It makes it much harder for us honest people to get our message out when so many people lump us all together.
So what do you say when someone says, "Oh you're in network marketing. I don't want to be part fo your scam."
Remember the communication tips and answer in the affirmative: "I'm at least as honest as you or anyone else in this room. I work hard to give people who think my products are a good value the best customer service. How many retailers can say that?"
Well something like that. The scammers are out there so we have to accept that there is a level of distrust with some people. All we can do is stay positive.
