If you join any kind of MLM, you are going to lose money. If you *stay* in an MLM, you are an idiot. It is mathematically impossible to have an MLM where anybody but the very top percent make money. Again, you WILL lose money on it.

Check out http://www.mlmwatch.org/.

let me clean up the misinformation the php "owner" posted above.  PHP does not have 6000 licensed people, they dont have 500 licensed people.  they have duped 6000 good people into wasting their time and money by giving them a hiring fee and then giving them a list of all their friends and family.they are a small agency when it comes to production and licenses with a lot of unkowing young people running around without licenses, pretending to be financial professionals. 

The "founder" and "author and visionary" Patrick Betdavid comes across more like the "Borat" of financial services.  If you have seen the movie Borat , you will see it right away when you see him speak.  Hes a very weird middle eastern guy (iranian) whos always gotta a camera , and hes acting his way through the whole thing.  Hes trying so hard to be a "motivator" , and it comes off almost like theres a hidden camera. Or like an old Amway meeting, where they hold up god  and the flag and "freedom" etc..Except, this Betdavid is hard to watch.   I cant explain it , until you see it.  You would sit around and think, "are any of you people actually believing this guy"  ..i kept wanting to laugh or stand up and find the hidden camera.

dont waste your time , money and most importantly your credibility with your family and friends by going anywhere near this deal.

I would agree with barry w (above), implicitly, they DO have a pyramid-based MLM structured scam which requires associates to provide a monthly quota of numerous down-line newbies like yourself in order to keep feeding the people above in the pyramid.  Supporting the upper structure of the pyramid is the sole reason you exist and it won't be disclosed to you there is a quota on how many other unfortunate newbies you must bring in until you're fully entrenched financially by initial fees (usually $100-150), members fees, internet maintenance fees, license fees, convention fees, etc.  Oh, and they'll impart this other little tidbit after a time that you must be a policy holder of their insurance in order to be able to help people not to mention they will tack on more & more fees as you get pulled in further and further.  The income/revenue for PHP is significantly based on the new associates.  The fact is in this depressed economy these cockroaches come out of the woodwork even in daylight when there are more vulnerable people searching for jobs and ways to save their family home from foreclosure, etc.

When I went to the initial meeting at PHP it was because it was falsely described by a PHP rep as a "networking" group of business people. The meeting consisted of about 75 people milling about with this loud blaring music that I surmised later to be a mind-numbing tactic that even cults use to keep you from focusing on what is really happening.  Also, most of these people are newly inducted associates and PHP veterans who are supposed to introduce themselves to newbies like myself and tell them how great it is being a member over and over, it had the opposite effect on me and which made me think think they're a bit strange & this could be Scientology or some other cult group!  A bit weird from the very beginning, but I stayed because of curiosity as to what these guys were going to pull next.  This guy came to the podium and he had way too much coffee or something! So much that I thought he was going to instruct us to do jumping-jacks any minute.  After an hour of this speakers' energetic endorsement of PHP and repeated shouting & applause from the lemming audience the "newbies" like myself were herded into smaller rooms and then were lectured by a speaker on how ridiculous it is not to be as smart & rich as he is basically.   Lastly they sent me into an individual room with an up-line associate who tells how lucky I am to be allowed into PHP and for me to give him $100 for my initial membership then sign on the last page of an agreement and doesn't give you all of it to read.  He was visibly perturbed by my questions as to other costs, commission percentages, lead lists and where is the rest of the agreement dude???  Finally he leaves the room & reluctantly gives me the remainder of the agreement and again asks that I sign it right then and there & give him the required payment! I tell him I'll look it over and wish to leave.  He asks me if he can call me tomorrow for coffee.  I say ok and he repeatedly calls me the next morning.  When I meet him for coffee he coincidentally meets another member of PHP (what a serendipity!) who also tells me what an enormous honor it is to be part of PHP...wow! After he gives me the costs  and some more bs I ask him if there are any other fees and he assures me that the initial $100 plus membership fees, license fee and convention pkg cost are everything.  I give him my ccard info, sign the agreement and 1099.  Yes...embarrassed to admit I too was ALMOST duped and feel silly for it but then AFTER ALL THAT, he tells me I am also required to carry one of PHP's insurance policies in order to begin at which point I demand the ccard info, agreement & 1099 BACK!! PLEASE Don't be scammed, they'll tell you whatever it takes to convince you to give them your money!  Be very careful of people like Charles Cieslar of Symar above who identifies himself as a company owner! This warning is so you won't waste your time like I did with this MLM (Multi-Level-Marketing) Pyramid SCAM!
