    Default ACN, the new Amway?

    I have a friend trying to convince me to go to these seminars, and right there and then it reeks of Amway, Quixtar and other MLMs.

    Any one heard of them? I'm not interested to join, but I want to convince this friend to quit.

    Here's their website, http://www.acncanada.ca/.

    They say it's endorsed by Donald Trump and apparently have contracts with companies like Telus and Bell.

    Anyone have first hand experience and want to share?

    Is this a huge scam?

    Now to think of ways to convince friend to snap out of it. His major argument is that the services offered are actually real and are not badly priced.

    Not badly priced but only available in Ontario and Quebec.

    Yeah, they're selling obsolete technology that went the way of the laser disc with the advent of webcams, and well you know, the internet. The phone would have been a great idea in 1994 or something. The buyers remorse happens usually the moment the person buying it realizes the only people they can have a video call with are the other ACN salespeople.

    Send this to your friend.

    Just like other MLM, the chance of getting rich is as remote as a 649 ticket except it costs more and you have to work more.

    Fuck, if I don't have problem taking money from unemployed idiots, I should start a MLM scheme.

    It is a SCAM!

    This shit is just as bad as amway or USANA (which I have experience with due too friends)

    A few friends and I got invited to drinks by some (smoking hot) chick my buddy knows, and her and associates tried to sell us on it... After they realized we weren't buying she tried to get us to buy bottle service from her at the club she works at ... We proceeded to get drunk and leave them with the bill..


    And last week these guys rented out the convention center on 8th ave (glenbow?) and we got bum rushed by like 10 of them trying to convince us about this shit...

    Go if there is free food and drinks.. And then leave after you have eaten your fill...

    But seriously tell them to f- off. If your going to drop like 3 grand on nothing, have a cocaine and sex party (aka go to Vegas...).


    Forgot to mention the only people who get rich are the ones who get on early enough and can scam and promote the shit out of the company.. I would rather give head to get ahead then join one of these..

    I cannot imagine how anxious you got waiting nearly a year to post that clever joke
