 Complaints' Department

Having the right information at your fingertips is probably one  of the most

powerful  features of the  internet.  The URL below is a good example of

what  can be done to inform individuals about   possible  problems with

certain companies doing business on the internet.   The benefits  of having

such  information could also save you  from from the jaws of scam artists !

If you have had  problems with a  MLM company,  and you think that

you are  right about your position, please contact the MLM C.B. and

report  your problem.  They will most likely  contact the company in

question  to  investigate your complaint.  Good Luck.

PROMINENT COMPLAINTS

Each month we will try to bring you the latest in areas of MLM  company

abuse in their treatment  of independent distributors.  To make the   Prominent

Complaints list, complaints must be multiple,   aggregious,   and of potential

preventative value to the MLM distributor  community.   The list below  includes

late December and early January (1996)    summarized complaints.

•Herbalife International -- Two complaints on file concerning   refunds.

We are investigating  claims that the company is slow to    non-responsive in

honoring return claims. The most serious  claim  which has support documentation,

shows falsified credit card    charges against a distributor by  a Herbalife heavy

hitter in  Hawaii.  After more than 60 days and a threat to report the   unauthorized

use of her credit  card to the MLM Credit Bureau, the distributor received a

personal  letter from Herbalife founder,  Mark Hughes. We are investigating to see if

the source of the  problem  is endemic to Herbalife, or if the culprit is the heavy hitter

in Hawaii

•Telecommunications Companies --We are getting a barrage

of complaints about MLM long  distance companies, including Magnet

Communications, Mobile Talk, LifeTronix,  and Telecom  Solutions.  The nature of

the complaints, which number more than two dozen,  range from  unauthorized credit

card billing to complete unfulfillment of services. This particular MLM sector  seems to

be having its share of infiltration of con artists. We are alerting all distributors to be

apply  extra care if getting involved with any company dealing in long distance services.

In contrast, we   have received positive reports on Excel as a long distance carrier

(and no negative reports).  Nonetheless, again, extra care should be applied in the

due diligence process.

  • Trudeau Marketing Group -- There are so much negative

information on  Nutrition For Life  International and the Trudeau Marketing  Group

that we are having to go to special lengths so as not  to  make it look like the Bureau

was established  just to trash them --  (which is the spin they are   currently

broadcasting). Nonetheless,   the news for January (and the formal  complaints it is

generating) cannot be ignored. Because of the extensive negative press reports

about Kevin  Trudeau's criminal activities and recent   jail sentence, Nutrition

For Life is struggling to create distance from Trudeau, while    profiting  from what

remains of his popularity. In attempting to     have their cake and eat it, too, what

they've  done is cut yet ANOTHER sweetheart deal and let Trudeau have his own

marketing  plan, a 4 x 7 matrix, which  will serve as an aggressive competitor

against NFL's existing distributors. Kevin Trudeau is out  boasting that he now has his

own MLM company, when all he's doing is  piggy-backing NFL's products. In  doing

so, "NFL" is only taking   its first step in confirming our long-time claim that they

routinely  cut special deals with top heavy hitters, while using     and abusing lower

level distributors and even  confiscating their downlines on occasion.

These days, more than ever,  we have to make absolutely  sure we know

who, and what  company we are  dealing with, if  we are  going to  sign  any

contract.  I suggest  for those interested in getting  another company to provide

them vith such services  as accepting check(s) by phone, Visa/ MC by FAX or

otherwise ,   check guarantee(s)  and etc,  to thoroghly investigate the  compny's

background  history, do a cost comparison, and probably use  Usenet  as a

feedback source. (ask others about  their experiences with such services)

You will find that there are  legitimate business offers on the net.

Good Luck !!

LA does not get  "on ramps":

It has been reported that Pacific Bell's intentions and ambitions  to  build

the  "on ramps'  for the information superhighways have been  cancelled .

Although  PacBell had  already  began construction  by digging, and wiring

several sites, they    stoped it, filled in the trenches made, and  unhocked the

cable and boxes installed so far.    The same cables, and box connections

would have brough  Southern California interactive  services such as home

shopping, and fast  internet connections.

PacBell had confirmed  stoping its' installations and contruction in the

Orange County, as well.

The company's spokesman  Craig Watts said that this was a temporary

action, and that  PacBell would    resume its'  construction  and installtion

some time  in the  future, but would not specify any  time line.

Unfortunately,  this seems like the interactive-TV deal  that  fell apart last

year in Florida.  Everyone was  jumping in  1994, but by late 1995,  plans

for any interactive-TV service were just a dream - AGAIN.

AOL- cancellations
 AOL/online service subscription cancellations

This reference is a bit  old, but AOL continues to experience losses,according to

news sources...

An October/95 press release at http://www.inteco.com/uspr/pr951006.html read:

..." Home Subscribers and Total Growth of the Industry

   Norwalk, Connecticut, October 6, 1995 -- INTECO Corporation, a leading

   international strategic consultancy, today reported that the world's

   leading on-line services are experiencing significant subscription

   cancellations, dramatically reducing the perceived growth of these

   services.

   Based on research completed in August, INTECO found that more than 6.2

   million home PC users have tried and subsequently canceled

   subscriptions to America Online, Prodigy, Compuserve, Genie, and

   Delphi.

   America Online, with 3.4 million household subscribers has had 2.9

   million cancellations....  The INTECO findings are based on large-scale

   interviewing in U.S. homes, with over 10,000 interviews completed

   through August of this year.

    ...end quote,

..."

People are realizing that  if you want to get  full internet service, you can't

do it with  most online services, by  R.Moreno, staff writer.

Just a short note about online services.

Most people know that online services charge more than you would pay

an internet ISP for internet services. For example: they charge  after your

tenth hour at compuserve,AOL, and most others have something similar.

If  you want to send mail= CHARGE. If you want to read mail= CHARGE.

If you  want to access their BBS's for shareware =CHARGE.  If you want

business information from a specialized database =CHARGE!  $$$$$$$$.

And there charges for other items not mentioned here.

If you  receive one of those FREE disks, be careful. It can cost  you lots of $$$,

if you try  a few  of the not-so-basic  services available.

What is this?  Maybe I will start my own online service, and get rich, too.

Don't worry:

While online service are experiencing a decline in  subscriptions, the internet

has been growing!!!

Long distance
MLM - Long Distance  Companies: The Confusion

reviewed by H.Sauuerheimer

This comentary was posted on Usenet, and had some  minor advertising

in it. I removed the direct advertising, and letf the essentials:

..."

CONFLICT OR CONFUSED! AT&T-MCI-FCI-USAC: HELP NEEDED!

Well, here's another fine mess I've got myself into!

I'm sure that I have a conflict of interest but it all

makes money and I can't see any reason to miss out on

the benefits of each one.

MCI is giving USAC members a $1000 worth of calls to

entice them to hook up to MCI. I did and I have

received a certificate from MCI that I can use anytime

during the next 6 months.

USAC handles 800 number voice boxes for a flat rate

of a dollar a day. You can become a part of their

2 x 10 forced matrix with out spending a dime.

FCI now offers you flat rate 12.9 cents a minute Long

Distance Calling. WOW! What a savings. When my $1000

from MCI runs out I'm going to take advantage of this

rate. FCI offers a up to a 5% override 6 levels deep,

this can build a nice residual income. No start up cost.

Originally posted on Usenet by   L. Cajole,

for further contact  us and your comments  will be forwarded.

"...

I would like to make you aware of the facts that I have found out about

accepting credit cards.  There are various companies which are placing

posts to these newsgroups which are designed to part the merchant from

their dollars and feather their own pockets by overcharging and using

deceptive practices.  These people are sending me e-mail bombs,

calling my provider and sending me posts with threats for informing

honest companies and people about this industry and their scams!

- In fact look at the Home Office Computing Magazine- July 1993

Edition - Page 26-27.  You will see the problems with this industry!

I was lucky that myself and my business didn't fall for one of the

sales agent or companies that offered me a merchant account for my

homebased direct marketing business.  They wanted me to lease or buy

the processing machine - I found out these machines only cost $125-$150

- These sales people wanted me to lease the machine for $49 a month on

a non-cancelable lease for 48 months.

By the way they also offered me computer software for 650.00 - The

software costs only 50-75 - WHAT A RIP-OFF!!! I learned that the sales

agents make 1/2 the lease or purchase price of the terminal as their

commission.  You don't have to waste your money like this!!

Also, these companies claim  they do mail and phone order They may

fudge your application to look like you are a retail store and will be

getting a swipe of the credit card when they submit the application to

the bank they represent just to get the acct. approved so they can kill

you on the  equipment and pocket their HUGE commission!  My research

shows that a mail and phone order account is between 4-6 percent.  Not

the 2.5 percent or lower they offer you and entice you to sign the

lease paperwork.  If you are a retail store, I have always believed it

is better to deal face to face with something like your local  bank

where you can physically solve any retail account problems. Most

local banks will work with any retail merchant.  It is not necessary

to select an out-of-town bank that deals through  a sales agent, just

go into your local bank if you are a retailer!

Also be aware of the rip-of in relation to reprogramming fees for a

terminal you may already have - These guys charge 400-500

reprogramming fee and the machine is as easy to reprogram as your fax

machine!  They do this because of the high commissions and payouts

they would have received  if you leased or bought the machine from

them and their leasing company which is generally owned by a

subsidiary of their company.

I post this information because I blatantly see offers here and I

occasionally call on them because I know of 2 of my friends who were

ripped off.  These agents quote retail sales rates instead of the

higher mail/phone order rates.  When the bank realizes that the

merchant is not running the card through the terminal and is keying in

the transactions through the number pad indicating mail/phone order-

the merchant's account is closed down and he/she still has the payment

of the lease or a worthless machine in his possession.  If you are a

new business you may not make it in business and if you go out of

business you would still be responsible for the balance of payments on

the lease.

If each of us in business who are trying to succeed take an interest

in our fellow man - we can help eliminate some of the rip rip-off that

can do more harm than good for a business that is starting out.

.

.

.

.

Also if you have been ripped off on Visa or Mastercard Merchant status

drop me a line but better yet post to this newsgroup and let me and

others know about your experience and  that I have made someone wiser

or have helped.  United the small business stands!

Thanks

Good Luck In Your Business

I used to be an MLM skeptic. I attended a "weekly MLM meeting" as a

courtesy to a friend several years ago. The meeting was all

"rah-rah".... there was no substance to it at all. I thought that all

MLMs were like that one --- very unprofessional and pushy. Today, I

have found an MLM so different from that one.  I have a completely

different view of MLMs.

I now am in an organization that offers:

* Quality products that you would want anyway.

* A business-like approach.

* An organization that you would be proud to be part of.

* Unparalleled upline support from industry leaders.

   (Before joining an MLM, you should also "shop" for a strong upline)

* A method of duplication that is easy to follow (using the Internet

   and on line services).

* Freedom from boring meetings.

* Binary compensation.

* A proven training system

* Success without firehosing your friends and family

* Recruiting software.

* Mail auto responders

* 24 hour fax on demand

* 24 hour audio text

* The ability to earn a lot of money

* FUN!

I have built a solid, growing organization entirely online. I have not

even approached my warm market. We show you how to do the same!

If this sounds like what you are looking for, E-mail your name, postal

address,phone number and e-mail address to :   mabarin@ix.netcom.com

and I will send additional information.

 The Power Of  A Postcard

by R. Burkle

Marketing consultant

This short article  investigates the  marketing power behind simple, well designed, and

strategically mailed postcard(s).One may think that  $0.20 would not have much

pull when it comes to  increasing visibility and sales,, but    direct-marketing statistics

show that  postcard(s)  may  very well  beat  an expensive  ad in an national magazine.

A while back, August 1995, I  investigated  a few companies making use  of

postcards, and their  results using them.  I  found  out  that  most companies

which were sending out  1000 or more cards,  were doing it continuously!!!.

They  had spent a few thousand dollars in the test of several different card designs,

which in this case is the key to success when you use postcards.  The design appeared

to be important, but people were really  more interested in the content of the card.

A few of the more powerful words in card design seem to be  "make more $$$", "

thousands a week part time",  etc., and they work . But the  headline or title, itself is

not good enough. If you want to  get   better results,  much has to be included in the

content(s)  of the postcard.

When a reader gets interested in reading the card  it must be legible; therefore, print

quality is crucial.   Next, creating  a need or want in the customer. If  there is no further

interest in your card, it is because you failed to include  the "deal". The most important

part of the card is to make  the customer ACT NOW.   If  you let  the customer decide

when to call, you will never  sell much.

A suggestion about getting  good  quality cards: call your local print shop- they will

usually give an estimate over the telephone.  When I called few local printers, about 4

to be precise, 3 were able to give me a price over the telephone. Something like 1000

cards for $30.00 one color, $10.00 extra for each additional color. Make sure you

are satisfied with the finished product, since it does not make sense to send out  all

those cards if not at least you are impressed.

People always want to save money. In their  private lives , as well as in their

businesses. If  you were to offer a discount, and extra  item,  or an upgrade you are

bound to improve your  sales.

The "action" word is definitely the most   important one here.  If customer  think they

can get the same deal a year from now, then  they very well wait for a year. Or,  more

likely, they will NEVER call, or order your product. However, you must give  potential

customers enough time to  use your card.  If your  "good through" offer is too short,

you may  just frustrate a lot people out there.

The last issue concerning postcards has to  do with mailing list(s).  Getting a good

mailing  list together may seem like an easy thing to do,  and it may be  if you know

your audience really well. Buying  or renting a list  could be the solution for you, but

the cost(s) can  add up and  begin to making  this a very expensive  way  to advertise.

Make sure you investigate all the  list makers out there, their  guarantees, etc.,

because some  of them will give you  a certain  number of new names for every

returned undeliverable  address, but they won't  pay  for the postage.

Lastly, the  information contained on one  cdrom, residential  "phonedisc" or other

national telephone directory cdroms,  which sell in the range from  $20  to $125.00,

contains  about 70+ million  names, numbers, and many complete addresses. You can

also get a  business  version  which  has about 11+ million businesses  listed.

If you have  any suggestion  realted to this topic you would  like  included in our  next

issue, please send  it to  EMMAG .

 Upgrading Your PC

by  R.Moreno, staff writer

About the service you select:

Upgrading your pc can be easy, or just a nightmare.

Finding the right supplier, support,service and warranties

is  quite a task.  Think of it as if you were going to restore a

1957 Chevy Belair, and  you wanted to make it  perform

like a 1996 Corvette (warranty and all).  Well, I have been

upgrading my computers for  the last 7 years, and there are

a few things you can do  save time and money, when you

upgrade you pc.

First, shop around for a supplier that has  a good standing

with the BBB.  Complaints against a store usually mean

problems!  The BBB does not have  information  about a store

unless they followed up on a complaint, and that  complaint

was serious enough.   Poor  customer service is usually what

leads the BBB to  have a file on a particular store.

Think about it: do you want to go through that  headache;

is your time worth it ;  how many times(miles) are you going to

have to drive back and forth to that "wonderful store".

A well established and not so cheap store, cheap as in those

stores that  allways  have a 2 day sale (almost every day is a

2 day sale - FRY's electronics in the SF Bay Area),  is the key to

a successful  upgrade of your pc.

When you call, before you buy, do you get through to the

department you are trying to reach ? Is there someone  available

to  help you, or to return your call with the answer  to  your questions?

Do they understand you? Do they  try to understand you?   If you

live  in any of U.S. 's metropolitan areas and have gone to a computer

store, then you know that the sales people  are  not always able to

speak English fluently.  Unfortunately,  employers can hire  anyone

they want, even if they are not able to communicate in a reasonable

fashion.   I have encountered  that  problem in just about every major

computer store I have gone to. The solution: ask  to speak  to someone

else. Someone  who is  cabable of helping you the way you want to be

helped. Don't settle for anything else, from the beginning.

Just because a store claims to  be an authorized repair dealer, don't

count on it.  Many stores are able to do some repair on  their site,

but the majority  will not do any  "component level" test or repair.

If your mother board(s) has anything other than a bad cpu, or bad

memory  chip  they will have to sent  it to the  manufacturer for repair.

This usually means a up to 12 weeks  of  loss of use !    These parts may

have to go  accross the pacific for repair...!?

Warranty  is usually  part of the item you are purchasing. If you can

get a good deal on extended warranty, then you may  choose to get it.

But,  for certain  items, such as hard drives and cpu's,   the extended

warranty would most  likely never come in handy. Stores try to sell their

enhanced warranties, because they  make more money that way .

Computer  parts' prices are allways  dropping and if you buy an

extended warranty, you can count on  paying  as much as a  later full

replacement  cost, that is the price the  part will cost you  when  it may

need to be replaced.

Hi-Tech USA	1
