    Good job. This stuff is designed to sap you dry. Unfortunately, people are left with nothing before they realize what's happening.

    I guess 6 different failures weren't enough evidence? Did she threaten to cut you off bro?

    She was in 2 of them b4 we were married and joined the others as a favor for family/friends and seemed semi serious. The last one and the current one is where she's been seriously working it and figured I'd let her prove me wrong.

    man screw ACN, I went at it with my friend last night who was in it for over an hour on chat about it. We haven't talked in like a month or 2 because of it. Is still upset because I kept saying it was a scam and that he shouldn't waste his time. So I asked him a question about something else and he rants about how he is doing so well and this and that. He ticked me off and I just start blasting him. He finally unfriended me on facebook. Oh well you know they really brainwash people they really do.

    Btw I figured out their "commission" scale. 5% apparently on all bills. Then your first recruit aka their level 1 they get .25% of that persons bill. Level 2 is .25% as well it some how gets to like lvl 8 where they get 8% or something. He said he was on level 4 already.

    I asked him whats better recruiting ppl or selling electricity which one do you make more. He said selling electricity. Then I said why are you recruiting people its a waste of your time. Hes like I only know so many people and im not going to cold call people. Im like isnt that your freaking job to cold call people to get sales. He said he does warm calling.

    Well I just lost a friend because of this stupid program.

    Why though? Put out your opinion. If he disagrees, that should be the end of it. No need to blast someone for doing something even if you don't quite agree with it. At least he's not sitting at home collecting unemployment.

    Here's what you said:

    Why is it that when we don't agree with someone, they are brainwashed? It seems there are as many people dead-set against ACN for "skimpy" reasons, i.e. scant exposure. Could that be a different sort of brain-washing?

    I can't believe this thread is still going. Those who get involved in obvious Pyramid schemes are clearly fools and for the most part get what they deserve. If some happen to turn this ruse into a successful career, then good for them.

    What more is there to say?

    So those who fail are fools and those who succeed are heroes; is that what you are concluding?

    Like anything and everything, there are good and bad. Too much broad brushing going on here..

    He wrote a long rant about me on facebook blasting me after I said I wish him the best and that I dont agree with what he does. What am I supposed to do? Just sit back and take it?

    No, not at all. This is a new part of the saga. That was stupid of him. We just need to respect each other's decisions. His behavior was unprofessional.

    Did you disagree with him on FB or privately?

    Privately on skype then I just couldnt take it anymore and blocked him for like 2 mins to compose myself and stop myself from yelling back at him in that 2 mins he writes this rant on me. Then I get back on skype and I see that thing on facebok and I just let it rip. He said the reason he wanted to put it on facebook was because he wanted the last word.

    I guess you mean the last word on dissing you not upholding his business... Sounds like he is frustrated.

    What exactly did he write on facebook? lol
    Was it directly about you or was it more related to his "infinitewealth business"?

    Uh... no. I never used the word hero, nor anything like it. Calm down and read slower next time maybe?
