I am aware that they have this “Get rich quick Scheme” claiming that you make $7000/month but is it somewhat true or is it just all a fraud?

anyone have any experience with them?

Come on man, get your bullshit detector serviced.

If it's too good to be true it probably is!

Most places claiming that they can show you a way to earn $7000 a month, you have to wonder why they aren't following the system themselves instead of selling you an information package on how to make that $7000 a month....

Or maybe they are, because when all the suckers who buy their information package, they get closer to their $7000 a month, and lots of these schemes indirectly tell you to do what they are doing.

oh so i read the first article..so they're not scamming you out of your money but you're just basically making money off of recruiting other people? sounds kinda stupid but i guess it is possible to make 7g's that way.

If the money is being made off signing new people up, then its just a matter of time before the pyramid is deemed illegal. Legal pyramids make money off the sale of products or services - not signups.

actaully its not illigal. products are sold (gems) and they are worth money. everything about it is legal.

which is why im in it, and make money. if anyone wants in, or at least to come see a presentation on what its about, pm me, i will arrange something.

any questions feel free to ask me. it seems unbelievable but it works

I got dragged to the third meeting they had in Calgary, but didn't join, even though they pretty much force you to. From a sales point of view, they do a very good job of trying to convince you that this is a legit and profitable business. It's not, it is a joke. You simply pass money up a pyramid, and the only reason the "gemcash" is there is to make it look like they're selling a product.
Only fools will join these "get rich fast schemes" and I hate to say it but the majority of people that sign up are from foreign countries. The best part is I found a business card on my windsheild one day from one of these "treasure traders" haha, it's ridiculous.

yes, it is a pyramid scheme, but there is a product worth value being sold. im not here to argue, its really your loss if you dont take upon this opportuinity.

if it was such a deal why would the guy go and tell eveyone how to do it thus flooding the market with this gem cash resulting in less money for him.if you had an awesome way to make money would you tell everyone about it?? take the gemcash to an appraiser and see whats its worth, i bet youll be suprised!

I attended one of their "meetings" just to see what it was all about. The way they work the pyramid is legal, they have ensured that.

In a totally shocking surprise to me, at the meeting was one of my old co-workers who had gotten very heavily into the scheme. He claimed to have made $90k in the last three months, and I believe he was telling the truth.

The fact of the issue is, as with any pyramid scheme, there is money to be made if you get in early. However, the further the pyramid grows, the more depleted the base for new prospects becomes. Add to that the fact that in making your money, you are stepping over friends and coworkers in search of the almighty dollar. Basically, you are putting those closest to you at risk of losing money for your own gain. This scheme is all about greed, and judging by the number of people that have signed up, there are a lot of greedy people out there.

Like every scheme, all the people that make the big bucks are the ones that starts out early.. meanwhile everyone joins because they think they can make money as well.

Anyone remember Don Lepre?

The best way to learn is to get the experience.. although some like to learn by losing money.

I know people who go into it. Some do end up doing well, but the it's the people who are in early who make the $. They recruit a lot of people to start with. People soon clue in and the late joiners get stuck when membership becomes more saturated. I know a guy who is in it and isn't doing anything. He has other real business that he is busy with. He upline is doing another MLM and is helping his downline to get out of TTI into the new one.
