He on the other hand moved to sacramento and continued to scam individuals there...

I wonder how many poor kids he scammed to earn the money for that nice car.

Damn it's a nice car though

his profile on the MLM site:

In May of 2002, Sean XXXXXX was your typical UC Berkeley student. Broke, tired, and studying hard to one day earn a job making someone else rich, Sean dreamed of more. One day, he met Dustin XXXX on campus, and was told about the XXXXX Opportunity. "Here was this dude Dustin, driving a Mercedes Benz, making crazy money, and he never went to one day of college. Some of my friends with degrees were making 5 times less than Dustin! So I was, well, interested!", says Sean. In just over a year, Sean has achieved amazing success. He bought a 2001 Porsche 911 Carrera 4, promoted to Executive Director, and cracked the Top 150 Money Earners. He insists on perseverance and a never quit attitude. "It's amazing how dumb some people are", says Sean. "I've been told not to do this by my family, that this was a dumb idea by my friends, and other people said you have to get in early to make any money. Dustin XXXX said something to me when I told him what some of my friends said," says Sean, cracking up... "he asked me if any of those people were making a six figure income owning their own business... I said 'no', and I'll never forget what he said: "Why would you listen to broke people about making money... they might mean well, but they have no idea what they are talking about. That stuck with me."

your thoughts???

I was an employee of a company like that. It resembles a pyramid scheme, and they're all overly optimistic about their futures. Everyone that I worked with thought in 6 months they'd be making 275k a year running their own companies, albeit with no knowledge of how to do it, no degrees or anything.

What a bunch of schmucks.

 

[TechnoKid]

its one thing to make money, an entirely different thing to earn money.

 

[SZLiao214]

People like him need to die.

 

[Wahsapa]

where does he live? i wanna key his F1.

edit: btw it also looks like he has a small schlong.

 

[AntMan530]

there use to be a bunch of vartec and excel guys and girls near the college where i live.

i remeber waiting for a bus to go home. this sweet asian girl approaches me and starts talking to me, which i thought was kinda wierd. after about 5 mins of random talk, she ask me what long distance service i used. i was like...whoa! maybe she lives far and wants to call me or something. i then told her i lived with my mom and i wasnt responsible for the bills. then she said bye....later i saw her at a excel info booth near the food court. it took me a while to figure that one out, but yeah, they're a bit sleazy haha....i shouldve told her i used SBC or something. i bet our conversation wouldve lasted 10 mins or something...oh wells...

How does your friend sleep at night knowing full well that he's pocketing other people's savings?

probably the same way auto salespeople, staples/computer store salespeople, lawyers, criminals, and politicians sleep.

 

[Jzero]

There are a few lucky people who make it in MLM schemes. I guess he's one of them. I don't see why everyone is bagging on him so much. Is he somehow worse than any other salesman?

you should die

people should never key other cars..

its scum

 

[bozack]

Personally I find it funny that will all the money these people make their website sucks, and pretty hard too....

However with that said I must also mention just how tacky it is to have the pictures with the cars and use that as a motivator to join the "force"...it is one thing to have money and be proud of successful employees, it is another to cater to the lowest common denominator....

Reminds me of the movie Boiler room where you had these absolute morons making tons of money scamming off people....a good flick for anyone who has not seen it yet.

uhh, i am going to die, we all are, some day. and 1: if he can afford this car he can afford to fix me keying it 2: HE is scum for ripping people off and 3: he probably doesnt actually own the car but is leasing it.

and if it isnt me doing it, it could be one of the people he actually ripped off. im sure they're are many people mad at him for taking their money.

so somebody PM me his address already.

 

[hysperion]

Good for him dropping out of school and buying an about to be replaced by a new model ferrari was an excellent idea! Now he'll be able to get a job when his excel business goes belly up.

Come exterminate me then. You really don't know any of the issues I've had in my life and how I have delt with them (you couldn't do any better), and I would only deface the property of the people who got it by ill means (seeing that they deserve it). I don't go around offering to key people's cars every day (I wouldn't key your car, which im guessing has been key'd already), And, don't question my integrity; it's within me to confront him directly; it seems deserving. I'm not jealous that he has the car nor do I hate him for it. I am confronting the issue directly by giving him a just, civil payment. If he's ripping people off, he seems the ultimate definition of the word "scum." Pocketing money through a scam can be equated to taking it directly from their back pocket.

please stop calling me names, it's very childish.

Also, here is a list of, what I think, more important things that people shouldn't do: 1. lie 2. steal 3. cheat....... 286,742,387. key their car; and, of course, there are always exceptions to rules.

I'd probably put murder at 1, keying cars at 12,392. lol

I have no respect for scammers.

Amway became Quixstar (sp?) once they realized that people have caught on their act. I wonder what handle it is going by these days.

So this is like the freeipod scam thing?

Scamming people for your own benefit. Not very Christian of you, Passions. :roll:

lol

Love it when people on AT bring up other stuff that comes back to bite you!

I would not rip off my friends and family to make money. That to me is no way to make money.

He can have his Ferrari that I probably may never have one but I'm happy with my life and the family and friends I have.

probably the same way auto salespeople, staples/computer store salespeople, lawyers, criminals, and politicians sleep.

The others don't intentionally rip others off. Of course if an auto salesperson makes up stuff so the person has to get this fix he is JUST as bad. But in reality he offers a service THAT the person can not do. He is trained to fix it (we hope!).

Waste of perfectly good oxygen.

I'm sure their Karma will catch up to them at some point. Doesn't always happen but sometimes it is funny to watch nature annihilate someone who hasn't been a very nice person.
