In 2002 I was watching TV late one night. My husband was on disability, and I was working full time during the day--I was looking for something he could do from home.

I bought the initial package for $59.95 + S&H. I then contacted the number in the book, and began to set up the website, 900 number and began advertising. I was called by a few people, but they were not interested in this stuff because the price was so high.

The fine print in the contract told me that I had to keep advertising for one year before I could ask for my money back--of course by the time everything was finally set up, the 30-days was gone.

I paid $3500 for the web site, I forget how much for the 900 line, and at least $100.00 a week for a year of advertising in our local papers.

I sent all the verification of my advertising (and lack of response) to the company, and received nothing--I, too, tried numerous times to e-mail my coach, call the company, write to them--all without success.

They disconnected all phone numbers I had in my book, and no one answered my e-mails.

This was a very costly mistake. I will buy nothing from TV again--no matter how good it sounds.

The Greatest Vitamin In The World - A SCAM? Read This!!!

AUTHOR: Solomon - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Sunday, March 12, 2006

Dear Entrepreneur,

The Greatest Vitamin In The World is NOT A SCAM.

See the latest checks I've received. From my experience in online marketing and advertising (over 7 years) there is no other company online that is paying such high commissions for leads and purchases.

Again this is not a SCAM only people who have not been able to sell online call this a SCAM.

But those of us with experience that can sell anything online know this is not a scam.
Only 2 % out of all the people that try to make money online actually do. So with that statistics you can only learn from that 2% of how to make money online.

I will tell you how I've done it but it is up to you to make it happen. You can promote the greatest vitamin in the world with the free website that you get for being an Independent advertiser for only $35.00.

And it doesn't matter how long it takes you to get 20 people to try the vitamin that is 100% risk free for 30 days.

The website is yours for life. I think this is a great way for anyone to make some extra money on their spare time. I don't like seeing people work 24/7. So please if you become an Independent advertiser try to only spend an hour a day advertising and promoting this product. And that's all it takes. Ask any one who made money online and they will tell you.

Watch As Seen on T.V.!!!

Positive On Don Lapre

AUTHOR: Lynne - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Monday, February 27, 2006

I just wanted to say I have read here a lot of negative comments on his 900 #s and such.. Well my husband did the 900 #s for about 5 years and made a profit of about $5000.00 dollars a month.. got checks of such and what not got them all set up and also did other things with Don Lapre, met Don Lapre over a luncheon and spoke with him, the only thing that Don Lapre DID do to him that was wrong was take an idea from him that if he had not mentioned to Don Lapre, he would of made millions on it later. The only reason my husband no longer does 900 #s and such is that one. the 900 numbers are no longer really in existence and and TWO have been banned in many states now because of Adult Entertainment and high costs of children calling and running up phone bills unbeknowns to parents.. 900 numbers are not as popular as calling an 800 line being connected to an operator and being told to hang on while I get your credit information and I will transfer you over.. that is the most common way of getting charged now a days. To a credit card and such then your phone lines.
Anyways, it is all in timing and what is hot and what is not at the time.
It is also a shame that he has gotten to become a scammer, I know he made a few years back a wrong investment and went bankrupt and decided to go with Vitamins.
Let's face it, I don't know of too many Vitamins that do sell.
I do know that there are many things and ways to make a living at home though and they are legit and you CAN make between 300-600 dollars a week at it if you put in the hours.. and it is easy not hard work.. and little investment under probably $50.00 and you are in it.
But email me if you are interested.. I know I have been paid by them and worked for them before I got on my disability, so it is out there, and they do take disabled workers..

Research?

AUTHOR: Catherine - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Tuesday, January 31, 2006

Hello Catherine in Pennsylvania,
I am sorry to hear about your current outlook. I have to ask if you did any research about this company as well as research about working from home? The reason I ask is because you didn't give any such indication in your report.

I hope that you don't let this company continue to control your outlook on home businesses. There are illegal activities at every business level in this world. Even law firms if you can believe that?

I hope you don't mind me saying that I know how you must be feeling. I allowed myself to be taken in several years ago by a company and wasted almost a full year being angry about it. Then I ran into the lady that introduced me to the home business I am doing now.

I was very, very skeptical and somewhat rude to her. But when she told me I went about it the wrong way and that I shouldn't let that company and people take any more time of my life I realized that what I had been doing was giving them control of me and my life. I was even more angry then.

Well, I researched this company for about 6 months before trying the products and then after about 2 years I decided to work it with positive results I might add.

Basically, what I hope you get from this is that you should do what you can to let people know to stay away from that scam company, but don't let them have anymore of you and your life. You deserve better.
