I find this distasteful and insulting and am embarrassed whenever I hear of him trying to lure people into his schemes. He has tried it all - Amway, Herbalife (I think that was it), some lame US insurance scam and more - each of them was supposedly going to make us all rich. Sadly he believes it whenever someone recruits him into a new "business opportunity". Not one of them has worked and I suspect he has given up on ACN as well.

Until it was pointed out to me that our everyday jobs are the worst pyramids of them all. We sacrifice our time working hard for a company, and who gets most of the money?? the Board Directors, CEOs, Managers...eventually it trickles down into the bottom level employees. Is that not a pyramid?? Yet people continue going to work day after day, week after week...getting maybe an extra couple of thousand per annum. An extra $30/40 after tax!! Why cant we try other ways to make money?? As I said before, Im a skeptical person but ACN has actually caught my interest. I work for a large well known highly disliked telecommunications company in NZ, and there is A LOT of money going around this industry. Theres definitely potential here. Anyway like Sarah I love a success story and am very interested to see or hear from people that are doing well in ACN. Im researching it before I decide to have a go, which is how I came across this website. I agree with Richard, ACN is going to be around for a very long time.

I am not involved with A.C.N as a rep, but they do provide me and my family with an excellent service. They are a legitimate company with products and services that most people use every day, and I will continue to support them as they bring out new products and services. The accusation that they area pyramid scheme is totally inaccurate and they will be around long after their accusers have passed away.

Most of the "ACN Scam" blogs that existed before are now gone, why do you think that is? Quite obviously ACN is behind the closing on free speech against them. My point is: Don't believe the people who barely started in ACN, they haven't seen the full effect of the scam they are being involved in. Anyone who has a brain should know that ACN is nothing but a pyramid scheme. There is no REAL money in it, not even enough to pay the bills. Sure there is money, but like I said..very LITTLE. You might as well open up your own real business than take chances with scams like ACN. Their so called videophone, which is basically a web cam with a nasty bulky design to it, is nothing revolutionary and if it was, people would have gone nuts about it already, which still hasn't...besides ACN aren't the first one's with a videophone, there are tons with it...and they expect to dominate the top telecommunication companies? They can't, they are unheard of because they don't want to be known. The less you know the better it is for them to sucker you into their scheme. ACN has been seen as an illegal pyramid scheme in Canada, Australia and have already been closed down in Finland. I think that tells you something about the company, regardless of laws - if it looks too good to be true, then it probably is. There's no such thing as "easy money"; unless you win the lotto or inherit from a rich relative...you can't make easy money like ACN claims you can...they are a bogus pyramid that will soon collapse. The $500 that new reps give them is the key to their success, rarely is their services... They were recently investigated by FOX 11 News, although they didn't flat out call them a pyramid - the tone of the video sure seemed that way: http://www.myfoxla.com/myfox/pages/News/Detail?contentId=7939281&version=5&locale=EN-US&layoutCode=VSTY&pageId=3.2.1 This “Aamir Shah” is obviously an ACN bot – ACN most likely surfs the web and tries debunk the claims against them, don’t believe me?
