• Ever heard of ACN?
    5 replies, posted
So recently one of my high school friend contacted me via facebook, after a short conversation she asked if I would like to have a part-time job with big income. I said "yes" and we meet up a couple of days later. She then introduce me to ACN, what's it about, all of its benefits, everything from Qualified Team Leader to Senior Vice President and much more. Now, I'm not someone who desperately need money. I mainly show up because I was curious about why she even contacted me in the first place (we hardly talk to each other since high school aside from the common greetings in college). Although, this whole Independent Business Owner thing is very tempting, I get more skeptical as her presentation goes on. I told her I'll think about it. I didn't have much time since then to look up what ACN really is since then (you know the other side of the coin), and college is keeping me quite busy at the moment. In any case, I'd like to know from you, have you ever heard of ACN? Has anyone ever approach you and try to "recruit" you? Did you invest 500$ and become a Team Trainer? If so, has thing work out for you?

This reeks of Ponzi scheme: [url]https://myacn.acninc.com/media/APAC/docs/nz/nzCompPlan.pdf[/url] [quote=the link]To qualify for the first earned level – Executive Team Trainer – you must be a qualified TT and have 2 qualified TTs in separate legs (at any level). You should set a goal to reach ETT within your first 30 days.[/quote] If it seems to good to be true, it probably is. I wouldn't get involved with this.

It's a Ponzi scheme, don't join. Just report the website to the police and forget about it.

If you're early, and have enough gullible friends then you may end up making some money out of it but chances are the scheme is already quite big/about to collapse. These things never end well, don't do it!
It's not a Ponzi scheme. It's not a Pyramid scheme either. It's just a terrible direct seller company like Herbalife or Amway or Quixtar. [url]http://www.acninc.com/[/url] A ponzi scheme promises investors massive returns for little investment. And they get it, but their huge returns are funded by other investors. Eventually, the scheme falls apart, because their aren't enough investors to fund the dividends given back to earlier investors, and everyone loses money. A pyramid scheme is similar to a Ponzi. This is a "legit" business that actually sells real products. However, much like Herbalife and Quixtar, the people that actually make the money are the recruiters, who charge people to get into the company, and then charge them for stock, which they need to sell. Then, the stock is usually not very good, and doesn't sell, so the direct sellers lose money, while the recruiters lose nothing and gain the money made from their direct sellers below them. Yes, it has a pyramid structure, but only in the sense that every business does in its hierarchy. And having said all that, chances are you will only lose money by signing up with this, and your "friend" is desperate, hence the reason she contacted you (or, she doesn't want to rip off her close friends).
