It took me here:



http://legitimateworkonline.net/ce/cemp1a.html

end result was more infor and then the money, like monthly fees and 60.00 dollars.

It's clearly a scam right.
Does anyone have more information on these people?

I have a personal rule that says "Be very afraid of any job offer that 1) doesn't explain, up front, what the job is and 2) run away from any job that expects you to shell out a fee first".

http://www.mumanormanservers.com/ offers mass emails to "targeted customers". In other words, they blast out emails to thousands of people for pay. Apparently, the only requirement for getting this job offer is having an email address.

And if there's "No cost to you", why are they asking for a $60.00 fee from you?

Vemma, Mona Vie, etc....they're just re-marketed pyramid schemes...all fitting into "today's" standards of unethical business practices thanks in great part to Republicans, sociopaths, and the world being taken over by people with marginal and dysfunctional personalities...damn...it's like "Untreated Children of Alcoholics Gone Wild!".

Functional people (including us ex-children of alcoholics) need to stand up and tell our government(s) "No More!!! Basta Ya!!!" Things HAVE gone out of control and we let it happen.

To FREEASWIND,

I'am not the expert on VEMMA but, I'am still learning about the products and looking into how they sell and how they procure their customer base.

This is not a commercial but facts on the company. This information is quoted from Your Business at Home magazine volume 2 - issue 2.

BK Boreyko CEO and founder of Arizona based VEMMA, who launched the nutritional supplement company with members of his family and a prominent group of network marking professionals. BK, with his sisters Karen and Lauren, created the company to achieve a mission to make a positive difference in the lives of families around the world and VEMMA is doing that every day. Business is booming with nearly 100 percent growth in 10 years $103 billion in annual sales worldwide, direct selling has people talking about unlimited potential which is the key to success.

The magizane also featured the success stories of individuals that made it.

Now I'am retired Marine tring to keep in shape. I've been taking CoptiLife which is a Hi-Potency multi nutrient complex tablets with a long list of supplement and VEMMA has about the same supplements but is liquid form.
I also run a cross country bike very day btw 10 to 12 miles. Since winter is upon us and the snow is flying I walk now about 2 to 3 miles. I'am waiting to see how VEMMA changes my life. I do not have the RC factor. Resistance to Changes you know some people do.

Have to go now. Have things to do. You can check these website out.

potpourri, I've deleted the links as we don't want to advertise products in the forum here.

They are only after your money looks a scam to me.
Vemma is just another (very) expensive fruit juice marketed through multi-level-marketing programs. There's nothing in Vemma a diet rich in raw, fresh fruits can't give you."

What Vemma Is

Vemma is little more than liquid minerals, green tea and mangosteen fruit juice. According to Vemma's label, it supplies at least a full-day's supply of vitmins A, C, D3, E and a full-day's supply of several of the B vitamins. It also contains a number of minerals, including chemical elements you may not have heard of before, like europium. Vemma's literature claims that the "liquid" minerals in Vemma are more bio-available than ordinay mineral supplements but they offer no scientific evidence to back up their claims.

Vemma is also rich in antioxidant vitamins and Vemma distributors suggest (again, with no proof) that antioxidants can help prevent everything from diabetes to cancer. While some of the ingredients in Vemma have been scientifically studied, the product itself hasn't. (At least not that we could find.)

Don't Feel Guilty About Saying "No" To Vemma

I have a couple of problems with Vemma. First, it's expensive. At $60 a month, I simply don't think it's worth the price. A good multi-vitamin and a healthy diet rich in fruits and vegetables will provide everything Vemma (or any other fruit juice blend) does at a much lower cost.

My second problem with Vemma is how it's marketed. Anyone familiar with my work knows that I'm not a fan of multi-level marketing companies and, at least for now, that's the only way to find Vemma. Multi-level marketing schemes tend to be aggressively marketed by people billing themselves as "wellness consultants" or "nutritional consultants". This sounds impressive but, in fact, their "education" is often nothing more than a phone call and a video presentation explaining how to sell a product.

Why is this a big deal? Well, take a look at this statement we found on vemma.com: "It's now well-known that taking multivitamins with minerals on a daily basis is vital for long-term optimal health." Statements like that are typical of multi-level-marketing programs but it's not true. Study after study has shown that a balanced diet is a better way to achieve optimum nutrition than taking supplements.

The bottom line is this: I see nothing really wrong with products like Vemma. I don't really see any way that they can be harmful if used appropriately, but, as I stated before, there's just nothing in Veema that you can't get from a healthy diet.

So save your money you won,t regret it

[FREEASWIND]

Thank you for all the information, it was quite informative. I had no intention of doing business with them. I follow the way of the balance diet myself. I was only curious if others where aware of them since I wasn't familiar with them and at the time i couldn't find any posting's on the site warning about them.

Thanks again guys,

I don't like knocking something till I have tried it and I must say that I have been taking Vemma for about 3 weeks and it is not just and expensive juice. It takes a WHOLE LOTTA FRUITS AND VEGETABLES to equal the vitamins and over 60 minerals (not to mention Mangosteen Fruit and Pericarp and Organic Aloe Vera and Organic Green Tea) that you get from a delicious two ounce serving. I doubt more than 10% of the population (probably less) are dedicated enough to eat the daily servings of fruit and veggies required.

It's easy to take, delicious (especially when mixed with a tiny amount of pineapple juice), and I have noticed many changes such as increased energy, sugar cravings have gone away, and I don't shake when I get hungry anymore! Gotta love it!

As far as Network Marketing being a pyramid scheme.... I am so tired of hearing that remark. I think..... you working for your boss without ever having the hope of earning more than him or having pitiful raises if any are the worst kind of pyramid scheme!

Vemma is starting out so chances are great that you are not going to be at the bottom of the so called "pyramid" but I must say I personally know of a lady who made it big in Mary Kay just recently and Mary Kay has been around forever. They are network marketers too. Who determines who stays at the bottom? Your own efforts. There is no bottom, the bottom is an illusion.

One thing about Vemma, they do not require membership fees to sign up. They do not require you to buy large amounts of product. They give you two free websites. They only want you to purchase product for yourself to try. They have builderpacks but it is not required to start your business and earn money. You could literally start your business with $0. Haven't heard of any other company doing that one!!!

Best of Luck to you all!!!

Vemma is one of the relatively legitimate MLMs out there and I wouldn't call it a pyramid scheme. They have a product that can be sold and they don't charge huge fees just for the privilege of selling for them.

As with any MLM however there are individuals who could make inaccurate or misleading claims about income potential or the usefulness of the product.

If you want to debate whether it's a pyramid scheme that's fine, that's one thing this forum is for. But advertising is not allowed here so please try to avoid that.

[Rbarrei]

New to this site. I noticed the website given on the first post.... so I didn't think websites were not allowed.

Thanks!

[Daneel]

Asking about websites is fine. Advertising your own is not.

[Rbarrei]

Ok, got it! Thanks.

[juntalan]

You guys vemma is not a scam.. Im currently a member and I've been getting paid weekly.. the company has enough credibility already.. go check out my blog and see for yourself..

My family physician is very involved in Vemma multi level marketing. In fact, he makes his sales pitches in his office in patient examination rooms where patients are there for medical assistance.

The result is that a lot of people in a very small town (with only one medical doctor) are signing up to be Vemma reps. They are not, however, told that. Only buying the magic Vemma juice is mentioned. Then the calls to sell and the emails roll in including canned calls saying to invite a friend to the big Vemma meeting. They suggest just telling a friend it is a party only and then let the Vemma people sell them on the sales idea.

In addition, office wait times now run over 2 hours with all this extra time devoted by the doctor to selling patients on Vemma. The time before last, I sat in his office 3.5 hours beyond my appt time before I finally got to see him.

If you are not selling Vemma for the doctor, you prob get stuck seeing his PA who is incompetent. The wait time to see the PA runs close the two hour mark at this point as well.

This is the ONLY doctor in town.

If you're in the United States and you feel your doctor is behaving in an unethical fashion, you can probably make a complaint to the state medical board.
