Hate to think of thousands lost

[computerincome]

Hello!

I just joined this forum. I hate to think of the thousands I have lost online (and offline) to various scams. Much I guess was my own fault as a 'newbie' looking for that pot of gold but still....

Just take a look at http://www.computerincome.net/aboutme.html to see a small selection of the programs I have lost money to. This does not include the likes of YMMSS/STA, various HYIPs and others I can hardly remember.

I am pleased to say that I have at last found a good business and I am making a steady, if not huge income from it, but has takne 8 long years of falling for scams to get there.

Look forward to some good discussions

Hello Rachel,
Welcome to Matrixwatch- I see you have had a few nasty experiences with Studio Traffic amongst others.

I also notice you are involved in MC2Global selling their ACT health drinks.

I have a couple of questions to get the ball rolling.

1. Can the health drinks be bought separately without becoming a dealer and at what cost.

2. Do you think the products are any good.

As you can probably guess I'm not a big fan of MLM's but each one needs judging on its own merits and if M2Cglobal is any good maybe I can be converted.

On a separate note I see you got banned from scam.com-what happened to cause this, if you don't mind me asking.

First I have no idea why I was banned from Scam.com. I had not made any posts for a while, went to check out the forum and got a message saying I had been banned. Tried to contact the admin but could never get a response. So basically have no idea....can't have been any posts I made as only ever responded to a few about M2CGlobal and StudioTraffic and was not particularly active on the forum. Plus had not posted for a while when I was banned. If anyone can enlighten me would like to know....although think the scam/com forum lost its way a little.

Anyway yes you can buy the ACT drinks separately but there is little point really because if you signup as a free dealer, you get your own website and you can order through that as and when you want. You do not have to participate in the business side but makes it much easier for ordering. Plus if you decide you do want to start making some extra income, you are already partly qualified to do so. You can buy the products retail off people in the US (not outside US for import tax reasons) but as they will then want to make a profit, you may as well join for free and order at whoelsale price. As I understand it, if you purchase from the website as a customer, you are added to the system as a dealer in any case so you have your own website to make future orders from, should you want to.

I have to admit to being very skeptical about M2CGlobal and the ACT drink at first. I was about give up on home based business when a friend in the US pursuaded me to join for free (as nothing to lose) and sent me some samples. First couple of times I tried ACT was not overly impressed so my friend sent me more and he build my downline to the point where if I just ordered I would make some money, so I did and got 60 days worth of ACT and after about a week felt it did make some difference to my energy levels and I started to enjoy the taste and replaced my usual 5 cups of tea a day with it.

I decided to concentrate on M2CGlobal and give it 6 months to a year as a last ditch attempt at home based business and it has paid off. I joined in September 2005 but did very little with it until around November/December. I have made about $3500 to date, spent around $400 on product and am now making at least $100/week if not more.

There are sometimes issues with support or deliveries as you get with any company but there is a dedicated customer services hotline and they have always been helpful and a support ticket system. They do seem to really care about their dealers and offer good incentives and bonuses.

All I can say is it is not really MLM as you do not get paid different amounts for different levels. You accumulate business volume on all sales under you and these cash out as commissions when you have a certain amount. You do not have to buy and then resell products like with other companies such as Herbalife etc (which I have also tried) and as its free to join and give it ago and you get free samples to try, there is nothing to lose really.

I am just so glad I gave it a chance.
