Nashua, TennesseeA relatively new den of scammers calling themselves Zurvita have recently popped up charging reps $350 to join a site they replicated from cashbacksaver.com They try to charge $20 a month for the site which is completely free to everyone. The company gives enrolees 3 days to back out of the rep agreement even though they tell you that there is a 30 day money back guarantee. It's an MLM with some goofy personal assistant you can call & some other free stuff from the internet thrown in. The manager of the thing was a big MLM'er in some other company and brought his downline into this sham. Won't last long.

False Represenations Concerning CashBackSaver.com
I am the CEO of Very Important Relationships, Inc., which owns CashBackSaver.com, as well as eight other Internet Mega Mall rewards platforms serving six different industries. The contents of this report (which is the basis of its contention that Zurvita is a fraud) states that CashBackSaver.com is a free service and that Zurvita is replicating that site.
A relatively new den of scammers calling themselves Zurvita have recently popped up charging reps $350 to join a site they replicated from cashbacksaver.com They try to charge $20 a month for the site which is completely free to everyone.
Both statements above are false.
CashBackSaver.com is not available to the general public. In fact, none of our Mega Malls are.
CashBackSaver.com is an employee benefit program designed for large corporations to offer to their employees as an employee benefit. Each employee must register under their corporation's enrollment site to get their Membership Code to enter this site. No one can enter the site without a Membership Code.
Zurvita has not replicated CashBackSaver.com, but instead is a customer of Very Important Relationships, Inc.. They paid VIR to create a Mega Mall for its Zurvita members. Therefore, the contention that this site is replicated from CashBackSaver.com, and it is a free service for which they are charging money, is not true.

The full story
It is unfortunate that this report was filed on information that seems to be mis-understood. For the record, I will clear things up point by point.
Charge one: 'A relatively new den of scammers calling themselves Zurvita have recently popped up charging reps $350 to join a site they replicated from cashbacksaver.com They try to charge $20 a month for the site which is completely free to everyone.'
Answer: The company does not charge $350 to join a replicated site. The company markets, among other things, a plan called Care Saver. This plan includes 4 components 1. a universal discount card that a person can use at over 175,000 locations to save on things like dinning and entertainment, personal services such as dry cleaning, oil changes etc., travel items like hotel, motel, and rental cars and the list goes on. 2. The plan includes a personal attendant that is linked to your cell phone. This is what he referes to as a 'goofy personal assistant'. This is a service that is just like the onstar service that GM has in many of their vehicles and that people pay $29.95 a month for. I have used this service for getting directions, researching the best deals on the internet, 411 (which is unlimited with the service) and I even use it as a personal secretary to call people and confirm my appointments. This feature alone is a graet value. 3. A virtual mall. This is the main feature that he mentioned. It's a nice added feature. You can access special savings on the internet as well as get cash back rebates on purchases thru the site. 4. The last component is a pet plan. If you go to petassure.com you will see what this plan consists of as it is the same plan. It is a plan that is usually marketed for $9.95 a month. All four of these services are grouped together and are sold for $19.95 a month. Quite a good value. I know people that save more then that on the 411 feature alone. What this indavidual does not report is that we also offer other services. If one is curious about those services they can look at www.foundersteam.com.
Another point of clarification. The $350.00 that he talks about is not for that plan but for a person to start their own business marketing Zurvita services. The cost to do so is not $350.00 but $329.00. What a great country that we live in taht we can start our own business for $329.00. I made $1,300 my first month with a full time job a wife and 6 kids. Just this last month I went full time with the business.
Charge 2: 'The company gives enrolees 3 days to back out of the rep agreement even though they tell you that there is a 30 day money back guarantee.'
Answer: The 30 day money back guarentee is for the membership. Is there a problem there? The 3 days has to do with people starting the business and yes, if a person changes their mind in 3 days they can have a full refund. Having said that I'll let you in on a little something. A dear friend of mine got started in the business and she was all excited to get things going. After about a week or so she realised that she bit off more then she could chew and decided that she should not do the business. She would be too busy raising her child and going to school. When she called the office to cancel the person at the office let her know that they will miss her and even prayed with her. She said that she was not sure what she could do as the 3 days had passed but that she would work on it. A couple of days latter she got a letter from Zurvita AND Amacore, the parent company wishing her the very best and that they would refund her money. You see, Zurvita is a Latin word that means 'The Risen Life' and as a main part of their vision they want to Glorify God. They truly want to help people, not scam them.
Charge 3: 'The manager of the thing was a big MLM'er in some other company and brought his downline into this sham.'
Answer: The president of the company is Mark Jarvis. I have known him for over 4 years and he is a personal friend of mine. I am proud to call him my friend. He has been nothing but kind to me and my family and yes he has had good success in the industry. He is a man of integrity and even though he did have the ability to to draw many people away from his last company he did not attempt to do so out of integrity. I know this from personal experience. He could have called me but he did not. I had to call him, and when I did he said, 'now John I hope you know that I would not try to draw you away from the other company'. He discourages people from doing so.
Charge 4:'It won't last long'
Answer: On the contrary, the company has the backing of over 4.5 billion dollars and have partnered with leaders in the industry. They just signed a multi year contract to be the exclusive marketing arm for MX Energy marketing electricity and natural gas in deregulated markets. MX Energy is recognized by Entrepreneur Magazine as being the 6th. fastest growing company in the nation with over half a million customers. When a company like MX Energy enters into an agreement like that with a company you can be sure that they did their homework.
I know that I sure am happy to be a part of a company like this.
I don't know your name but I can say this. I know that there are a lot of real scams out there so I can really appreciate your concern in trying to protect people. It shows that you have a heart for people. Fortunately I can let you know that there is no need for concern here. This company is a good one. If anyone has any questions feel free to call or email

Read the terms and conditions!
Everything you wrote is false! I work at the Corporate office, and I will tell you the truth! The fee to become a Marketing Representative is $329.00, and you do get your money back when you cancel within 3 days! It is $19.95 per month to purchase the Caresaver Card, and when you shop through our Cashback website, you do get cashback!
You have 30 days to cancel the Caresaver card, and you do get your money back when you request it! If you had taken the time to actually read the policies and procedures that you agreed to, obviously you didn't which damages your credibility, you would have seen that it is your own fault, as we clearly guide you through using the service!

Sounds Like Someone Has Been Burned
To be fair, let's examine the Zurvita Care Saver...one of several service products that Zurvita offers.
#1) Virtual Mall- an online mall with over 600 stores including Macy's, Target, Walmart, Sport's Authority, Sears, Travelocity, Orbitz, and hundreds more... with special discounts and incentives to members. Retailers offer a cash back incentive that is saved in the customer's Care Saver account. When the accumulation of cash back earnings hits $25...you can request a check..in cash! That's a scam? Hmmm. Let's see here....I am spending money on these items anyway, I'm getting preferred discounts and in many cases free shipping, AND I am getting cash back with every purchase? Yea, I really see the scam there........???????
#2) Daily Services- A website that offers local discounts in your zipcode. Just plug in your zip code, enter radius miles...and see what merchants in your town are offering exclusive discounts for members! Dining, Shopping, Health and Beauty, Hotels, and more....another scam? Really? How?
#3) Zurvita Personal Assistant- a 24/7 personal secretary that is accessed via the customer's cell phone. Confirm appointments, make dinner or travel reservations, check traffic reports, weather reports, find that perfect gift, game scores, research assistance, wake-up calls, transcription......are you 'sure' this is a scam?
#4) Zurvita Pet Assure- Alternative pet care coverage for your pet. Regardless of age, breed, mecial condition, or number of pets in your household! You have 4 dogs, 2 cats, and a pot belly pig? They are all covered. No paperwork, no deductibles, no exclusions, no hidden fees, and benefits begin immediately.
25% discount each time you take your pet in for vet care. Up to 35% off of pet merchandise, grooming, or boarding. A 24/7 Lost Pet Recovery Service....your pet is furnished with a tag containing a serial number and a 1-800 number. Your neighbor finds your pet...the 1-800 # is called and all of the owner's information automatically displays in the database.
All four of these services together for $19.95 a month!
Where is the scam?
This is a fantastic bundle of services, and I have multiple testimonials as to the level of customer service Zurvita gives. Zurvita goes well above and beyond customer expectations.
It sounds like perhaps you tried Zurvita as a marketing representative, found out it was NOT a lottery ticket and that you actually have to work....and now you are bitter.
That is really such a shame.
It's not the company, it's not the product or service, it's not the compensation plan, it's not the company's president.....IT'S YOU.
You are the reason your business did not succeed.
Zurvita is a great company and I am proud to be a representative.
Good luck and I hope you find what you are looking for.
Thank You.

Zurvita FACTS
Scam-Buster, you did not get the truth when you wrote this report:
A relatively new den of scammers calling themselves Zurvita have recently popped up charging reps $350 to join a site they replicated from cashbacksaver.com They try to charge $20 a month for the site which is completely free to everyone. The company gives enrolees 3 days to back out of the rep agreement even though they tell you that there is a 30 day money back guarantee.

The manager of the thing was a big MLM'er in some other company and brought his downline into this sham. Won't last long.
I am here to stand up as well with John and the others in this company. I have a strong believe in this company and know how it can truly change peoples lives and it is as i write this reply.
First off it does cost 329 dollars to join the company as a marketing rep, with provides you with a kit supplied to your door step and an opportunity that can truly change your life.
The $20 a month charge is for optional websites, but the product 'Care Saver is only 19.95 a month not what you have describe in your report.
I agree you do need to read the terms associated with this company before making comments that you honestly have no idea about.
I have seen some of your other post and I am glad you want to look out for others, but you are so far from the truth with Zurvita.
I have been in the company now since july and it is a true Blessing for me and so many other people. Not only does the company product the Care Saver product but also many other products like Computer tech support, Health care benefits and the most exciting is Energy. I am a stay at home dad of 3 kids that have truly been blessed to work from home because of Zurvita.
I would hope before putting out comments about companies in the future you make sure you get the facts. I am not trying to be mean, and hope you understand, but as you can hopefully see with the comments left about the company.
The founders of the company are some of the greatest people who truly care about people that I have ever known.
If anybody has any comments please reply to tim@freedomteamfounders.com or call me 704-648-7470

It's a shame 'Scam-buster' doesn't have their facts straight. I have been a rep with Zurvita since July. Their products are all designed to save consumers money and help protect their budgets. This is one of the few home bases business opportunities that has a chance to really make a difference in todays economy. I would hate to see people discouraged from taking a look at this because of inaccurate information. It has been a true blessing for me and my family. I know of nothing else that could have salvaged our financial situation like being introduced to this company and it's awesome leaders has.
Hopefully people will take a look for themselves and wonder, as I did, where 'Scam-buster' got any of their conclusions. Being either a customer or a representative can benefit you and your family in a very positive way.

Zurvita is definitely for real.
I can tell you as an independent representative for Zurvita,
that this company is definitely for real. I not only have
earned my investment back immediately, but have used
the Care Saver card. I just paid $ 5 for a $ 25 gift certificate
to a restaurant we go to regularly.
The founder of Zurvita is Mark Jarvis who has an impeccable
reputation and left a 7 figure Residual income to start this company.
I got incensed when people don't understand the program and
are critical of a person I know personally.
I can assure you this is for real. We just partnered with the
largest provider of Natural Gas in the U.S. and this opportunity
helps SAVE people money.
Zurvita scam!
Zurvits is no longer allowed to sell in Texas! Stay away from this scam!

Simply un-true Tim
Clarification from founding representative.
I don't know why Tim would be so inclined to simply write one line that is not true without any other information. Stated plainly, not only does Zurvita market services in Texas but the headquarters are in Houston and business is growing quite well. Any questions feel free to call.

Facts referenced are not true!
I am the CEO of the company that owns CashBackSaver.com, which is the company this person references in their post about Zurvita. I can personally attest to the fact that the following two statements are not true:
'Zurvita have recently popped up charging reps $350 to join a site they replicated from cashbacksaver.com. They try to charge $20 a month for the site which is completely free to everyone.'
Please allow me address each of these two assertions independently. The first part states that Zurvita replicated a site from CashBackSaver.com. This is false because Zurvita could not replicate CashBackSaver.com as we own that platform, all of its code and all aspects of its technology. Our company builds Internet portals, and we current operate thirteen separate platforms that serve six different industries. We have several corporate clients that have paid us to develop platforms for their own application which utilize our proprietary technology. Zurvita is one of those clients, is in good standing with our company, and paid us to develop a portal for them.
The second statement that Zurvita is charging $20 for a site that is absolutely free to everyone is equally false. CashBackSaver.com is not a public site and cannot be accessed by the general public. It is a proprietary platform we built to serve our corporate customers. CashBackSaver.com is an employee benefit program which our corporate clients acquire from us to offer as an employee benefit for their employees.
All anyone needs to do to prove this is go to CashBackSaver.com is not completely free to everyone is to try to gain access to this portal. CashBackSaver.com does not advertize individuals, nor is there any way for someone from the general public to register for membership in this program without first possessing a unique Corporate ID provided to them by their company.
I can only suspect that because these two salient points in this person post are false, that the remainders of the assertions are equally suspect.
You Don't Know What You Are Talking About!
Scam-buster's criticism of Zurvita is out of ignorance. I think scam-buster either (1) was a marketing rep with Zurvita, but didn't do anything with the opportunity or (2) doesn't believe in working for oneself and would rather work to make someone else rich.
We have testimonials from people all over the country who did the work and actually retired because Zurvita helped them replace their income. I think you should ask those people if they think Zurvita is a sham. Here's some advice, before you go trashing a company that obviously you know very little about, you should do your homework.
Also, I'm sure you don't even know the name of the man and woman who walked away from a six figure income to start Zurvita. I noticed that in your criticism, the word 'Manager' is highlighted. I clicked on it and some tax company came up. You really need to get ALL of the facts before you start ripping someone who has changed their lives thanks to Zurvita.
