What a crock of ***....DO NOT JOIN ACN unless you are ready to get to the top on a mound of corpses that make NO residual income and never make any money there are so much better opportunities out there...this is coming from someone who made the "WALK AWAY INCOME" position....None of your team will make any money, the video phone is GARBAGE, SKYPE is free you will hear that constantly, plus the company is so un ethical its ridiculous. Celebrity apprentice was one big lie about something that never happened, glad I am out of the company doing something else

LIES LIES LIES LIES....

It's now 2017 and the video phone is still here and is now in every home not just 1 in 3. We now offer cell phone service in which you have access to FaceTime and other free video apps.

I earn residual income from Acn every month and I'm not in the top rankings. Especially now since the strive for five promo launched. My customer base went viral, in turn my residual grows exponentially regardless of how many reps join. Even if we stop recruiting reps.

The residual income keeps growing because the commission is 100% client based. Even if you sign up 100 reps in one month that paid 499$+tax you will earn $0 in ACN if you do not help them get a certain amount of clients in that month. Simple ***!

Not easy tho! But hey, who said life is gonna be easy?

Oh boy, another rep demonstrating their business ignorance... 1) ACN stopped supporting their video phone - even after ACN mgmnt took over the company.

This info is publicly available, by the way. The sales of those phones were mostly to the reps who were pounded on to "carry and demo" them, and the reps I know were furious they had been encouraged to buy outdated technology. They are NOT in every home (look up the sales and do the math...), and in the few that have them, they are museum pieces.

and 2) Tell us all how you define "exponential " , because your residual math makes no sense...! Doing a little homework before you open your mouth might be a good idea...

Unfortunatley, gullible people can be found in every country... I guess that means the world is your oyster?

Keep drinking the Kool-aid and you will become an ACN God...rich beyond your wildest dreams. Push and pressure your friends and family to switch their cable, phone and utilities to ACN...so you can make fifty cents of "residual income" for life.

This is the same concept of Jack and the Beanstalk....believe a obliviously untrue or at least over exaggerated story of success to make more people join or believe. You don't make money from getting people to switch services to ACN but mainly when u get new recruits to pay $500 in order to work for ACN. If it's so great why should you have to pay to work for them? I call ***!

They could incorporate the fee into your sales but soo many people realize its a scam of dreams and bail that ACN wants $$ up front. Please no company ask you for $$ to work for them....of course they will say...it's your business and you have to invest in your future.

They own you and your future..so decide with a knowledge. Let the ACN zombies attack now....xoxoxo

this is for the oblivious person ranting about pyramid schemes she obviously needs to learn more about. They are illegal as stated, but the structure is the ver same my dear.

Connection to multi-level marketing

Main article: Multi-level marketing

The network marketing or multi-level marketing (abbreviated MLM) business has become associated with pyramid schemes as "Some schemes may purport to sell a product, but they often simply use the product to hide their pyramid structure."[30] and the fact while some people call MLMs in general "pyramid selling"[31][32][33][34][35] others use the term to denote an illegal pyramid scheme masquerading as an MLM.[36]

The United States Federal Trade Commission (FTC) warns "Not all multilevel marketing plans are legitimate. Some are pyramid schemes. It’s best not to get involved in plans where the money you make is based primarily on the number of distributors you recruit and your sales to them, rather than on your sales to people outside the plan who intend to use the products."[37] It states that research is your best tool and gives eight steps to follow:

Find—and study—the company’s track record.

Learn about the product

Ask questions

Understand any restrictions

Talk to other distributors (beware of shills)

Consider using a friend or adviser as a neutral sounding board or for a gut check.

Take your time.

Think about whether this plan suits your talents and goals[37]

There exists a contention which claims MLMs in general to be no more than legalized pyramid schemes.[25][26][27][28]

[edit]Connection to franchise fraud

Main article: Franchise fraud

Franchise fraud (or "franchise churning") is defined by the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation as a pyramid scheme. The FBI website states:

[P]yramid schemes—also referred to as franchise fraud or chain referral schemes—are marketing and investment frauds in which an individual is offered a distributorship or franchise to market a particular product. The real profit is earned, not by the sale of the product, but by the sale of new distributorships. Emphasis on selling franchises rather than the product eventually leads to a point where the supply of potential investors is exhausted and the pyramid collapses.[38]

sounds like a bunch of lazy good for nothings trying to blame the gym because you didnt lose weight. stop wanting something for nothing and get to work or get out of the way.

ACN works like all business, learn what youre doing and DO it with professionlism and consistency and you have success.

but of *** youll always be broke. get a job and keep working for people like me.

I bet both of you either quit, or are not making much money nor changing lives for the better...

Guest

Anonoymous, are you sure that you contacted the right people? They make it pretty simple to cancel.

I presume you are past the 10-day window, so go ahead and call (704) 260-****. Their hours are Monday through Friday 10:00 AM - 12:00 Midnight ET.

Guest

I am an IBO, how do i get out of this company?I mean i cancelled my credit card (not b/c of acn just I never use that one),Also I call and get an automated message machine. I mailed a letter to their headquarters (address written exactly as the contract says) and they sent it back unopened. I feel it is impossible.

Guest

man you can tell the people that are in acn just listen to there spin i had one rep tell me the video phone was going to be in every 3 homes found out he was broke had been in acn for 4yrs but it was going to happen not overnight but it was a 5 yr plan well im living the dream he is dreaming and did you know there are reps turning over 3million a mth in billings but no one can prove there income

Guest

I have been approached and i understand pyramids, it does take time and effort. it is a job and you have to work it.

so you lost your 500.00? don't you save by reducing your bills? how long would it take for you to recoop.

6 months. so what have you lost?

Guest

AND P.S PYRAMIDS ARE ILLEGAL IN ALL 5O STATES WHO DEALS WITH THOSE GOODLUCK TO U! ACN IS MERELY A DIRECT SELLER IF IT WAS A FREAKING SCAM WHY WOULD ALL THE CELL PHONE CARRIERS AND OTHER SERVICES WE HAVE PARTNER UP WITH US?????

TO RUIN THERE NAMES??? LMAO U GUYS ARE LIVING IN A BOX GET OUT AND SMELL THE AIR AND THINK ABOUT THAT A BIT MORE!!!!

Guest

those who are complaining about acn u are sickening me enough with ur BS and grow up and start acting like adults and not kids!! a BUSINESS TAKES TIME TO ACHIEVE AND GROW INTO SOMETHING WITH A GREAT AMOUNT OF MONEY!!

IF UR RUNNING AFTER THE MONEY U WILL SEE IT FAR AWAY FROM U, IF UR RUNNING TO HELP PEOPLE EVEN STRANGERS AROUND U THE MONEY WILL COME TO U! those who are complaing " after i signed up noone helps me" ohhh comeee on ur adults to achieve success u must hustle not ur partners or upline!!! ACN has the best integrity when it comes to this company and they will never screw that up ppl do!! people like u!!

if u cant be smart in business it does not MEAN this company is a scam it just means ur not cut out for something simple!! if u fallow the rules u will win success in life"!!!!

Guest

Oh I'm sorry, all those that spit on ACN, have you ever stopped to think that this is totaly different type of business, that it takes time?? Have you ever stopped to think that If you opened your own firm that things could go excellent couple of years and then you went into bankrupcy?

Have you every stopped to think that when you went into bankrupcy you had no ways to live but to get a job so you could pay your bills??... Well with ACN it takes time and while it takes time, you still keep your old job, untill you succeed... If you think that network marketing is a scam, then youre still living in 20th century... Build a network of 10 000people, which you of course dont even know, you just know first 20 that you work with for example...

and dont have anymore from every person than just a dollar... do the math how much you would recieve per month residualy...but hey, you prolly want that to happen over a year or two right??

keep dreaming..it takes time folks...and some of us are willing to work 15 years so that we may retire in our forties...but you go ahead and work untill youre 65 and hope to enjoy your pension just a couple of years... Be realistic here...

I went to a meeting several years ago and had no interest. This year a friend tricked me into listening to a concept "with an open mind and open ears." That is the ploy.

I went to several meetings and even took my senior citizen mom to one in July 2011. Someone asked me that night if I was joining that night and I clearly stated that I was thinking about it. That person then went to my mom and said "oh I hear you are both signing up tonight." She didn't know that I had not given my ok and then signed us up. $500 spent on a holiday weekend, $30 per month sign up for their website and then those that signed me up did nothing for me for over two weeks.

Little did we know that we could have gotten our money back within those first 10 days... now it's gone. None of my friends would attend a meeting. They are not interested in this product.

I was told to be pushier with them and not tell them what the presentation is about. I'm sorry, my friends are savvy, intellegent people and I don't lie to them.

I found this insulting and wrong. I know I'll never get that initial money back but I hope someone is listening so that they don't get suckered like I did.

Sounds like you didn't do your homework, and are pretty naive. You even say they didn't help you.

It's not their job to sign people up for you. If they didn't help you with questions then you had a bad up line, but it is your responsibility to do the work.

DOn't knock the opportunity until you actually improve yourself and put in some work. Not fair!
