Re: Acn ? scam ? I'm not sure I'd call it a scam, but it's damn close to one.
I have two friends in it. I've known them for a long time and one claims that he's making a lot of money from it for the time he invests into it. That might very well be true, since this friend is a great talker and he's sucked in quite a few people into this. He went in knowing that it was a pyramid scheme. He's been with them for a year (it's on the side, though; he has a real job). Still, he seem to like it when I ask too many questions and when he does answer, I sadly can't say I what he says.
As for the other, I don't even want to talk about it with him. Or I get annoyed.
Don't do it. If you attend one of their meetings or whatnot, you have to see it this way: it's a cult and they're selling people the hope of being the rich guy. Those that buy the sermon can make some OK money preaching it, but not many people are as good as they'd like to think and they can't see it as a long time investment, which is exaclty what ACN wants you to see it as. As for the actual amounts of money that they'll talk about (things like 3k a month or whatever): it's a load of crap.
If you ARE to give them your money, then make sure you get paper proof that they will give you your money back. My friend who "works" with them told me that this is possible, though of course they don't really want you to get your money back since they make their money by screwing people over, not by getting someone to use their telephone service.
PS: They're on the internet as well.  |
