WE BUILD YOUR DOWNLINE" PYRAMIDS

We will "Build Your Downline" schemes require an endless streams of recruits for success. "New" recruits give money to companies who swear that they will build your downline. You put up the money and presto you get a profitable downline built with no work on your part! Some of the people that offer these "builder programs" are honest but just "MATHEMATICALLY CHALLENGED." The pile of people to build a downline for everyone that comes along would be about 63 feet high (figuring the average height in the US at 5'8"). To recruit 10 people if for every one if you were on the 9th level would take 10 billion people. Little hard since there are only about 6 billion people on earth! Is Intergalactic recruiting the answer?

You can bet that the founders of the company or downline building scheme have themselves and their family filling levels 1, 2, and 3 (or more). So you are starting, at best, on level 4. For the 1000 of you starting on level 4 it is going to take 10,000 people just to get you 10 people. To get you guys 20 people it is going to take 100,000. To make any of you money you have to fill your 3rd level which will take a million people (1,000,000). For your information there are no million people MLM's left in the U.S. To continue your 4th level would take 10 million people!

That is why past scams like American Business Publications (Postal Inspectors), Winner's Circle (FL shutdown), Winning Edge (Nv shutdown with guns), Purchase Plus (Ohio AG), and others ended up with Attorney General's eating their lunch. The numbers don't work and the money doesn't flow! Simple Math! The key to identifying these scams is they tell you to give them money and they will do the work to build your downline. Although gimmicks like “free downline building” (a drip system) are legal they don’t seem to build strong downlines.

The real time cause of action starts when the people at the bottom don’t make money as promised (and paid for) which mathematically has to happen. They quit and demand their money back. The promoters have spent $$$$ money trying to recruiters others but can’t. The promoter in some (not all) cases goes broke.

Many of these have real live products and services that would be viable on the open market. An infomercial hypster (and now convicted felon), John Polk, did one of the biggest with 2 extreme Performance (2XP). By buying packages of nutritionals (actually they were quality products) people were assured that the same infomercial that brought them into 2XP, would build their downline for them. Others used phone cards, financial training and assorted other materials and had the people pay for having others recruited. One company charged $325 for recruiting services and some people put in as much as $50,000 to have experts build their downlines for them.

Real downline building puts you in a team. A person that does not like to sell or talk to people may very well perform support functions such as mailing postcards, answering questions, mailing letters or placing co-op ads. The key to these successful programs is that they work on a small group basis with a limited and reasonable amount of expense. The people participating are encouraged to learn and receive training to become a more active partner. They don’t spend much money and so if they fail they they haven’t invested much money.
