unfortuantly people stuck in the scam dont beileve any of it... quixtar brainwashes them.

probably because they have sunk so much money into it, they have no choice?

i know someone who has been doing this for 6-8 months. they are very defensive when i criticize quixtar or try to explain to them how much of a scam it is. he has already gone to a trip to cali, drove a few hundred miles (his expense) to go to seminars and conventions regarding quixtar. this person is a college grad with a degree in engineering.

but what do they do?

do they sell other people onto their pyramid?

 

[Ketteringo]

I work for Alticor, the parent company of Quixtar 🙂

Of course I am not one of their IBO's, but an actual employee (intern).

I've got a friend stuck in the 'team of destiny' which is a quixtar thing in Michigan and he is practically failing out of college because of it. Kind of sad 🙁

my friend thinks he can retire in 2 years if he continues doing this....

Unfortunately, being able to pass science classes doesn't guarantee your intelligence.

An NBC Dateline video on quixtar. A good watch.

Edit: If that link doesnt work, go here for the video. (Scroll to July 12th)

I admit it.

I got sucked into an MLM scam like this for about a week until I saw the light.

Unless you can lure in new suckers who spend $$$, you'll lose lose lose lose lose.

It's the old amway's new online network marketing deal.

If you are good at it, you can be rich. If you're not, then you will end up like the rest of the people who make the others rich.
