ACN Opportunity review: Please don't get involved! 145

We agree with all those complaints. I want to let you know that we got suckered into it with being pushed. We should have waited because we went to a meeting a day after a tragedy occurred. But, when we decided to get out of it within time frame, we had nothing but TROUBLE. In the beginning, the VOIP didn't work where people couldn't hear us. My husband called ACN and they said they settled it and the problem is STILL there after calls and calls to ACN. Recently, we filed a complaint through BBB (which is great for those of you who have difficulty with ACN, should do), our phone was shut off! My husband and I were ANNOYED with all these ridiculous problems. They said, to get a faster internet (which is faster than the people who sponsored us) and that MAY work. Why put out MORE money to get it to work, IF it works! We are still having difficulty with this ACN and the phone and we can't hear people on the VOIP nor our land line. It took forever to get the phone service. We are sick and tired of not and having the phone working here and there. People are not calling us and we have another business is a GREAT business where people are making money, the fee is so low and sometimes free that you can't lose and the products are excellent and coming from someone who is always skeptical (that is me) then it's got to be a great company! ACN SUCKS! Please do NOT get into it...ESPECIALLY if you decide to get out of it or your life will be a living HELL. My husband says that there is not enough people in the world to work under you. You HAVETO get 2 people under you to make money. Then those two people haveto get two people under each one of them for them to make money and goes down and down. He says that it's impossible to get people in the world under you. You won't be able to make money unless you have people under you and you get people to be coustomers under you then you may make money. I can't wait until we are officially done with ACN for good!

ACN is a Great company. Ask yourself complainers. Did I follow the ACN system? Do I know anyone who did? I Just came from a ACN International event with almost 30, 000 people from 20 diffrent countries. You CAN"T SCAM leading wireless companies and satellite companies and securities companies that ACN is part of. REALLY GET A CLUE and stop being so hateful.

Looks like we have a lot of ACN reps with a lot of free time on their hands to allow them to write these rebuttals. If not for the tragic fact that they are ripping off their friends, one would laugh at these comments. I attended one of these sale pitch but left in the middle. Right away, I recognized their technology was not useful at all and that they had no product or service to sell. The numbers they quoted were just unrealistic. They are just a pyramid scam. You can achieve same with Yahoo/Skype and a web cam without the monthly service charges. Imagine trying to push streaming video through the Internet, it will be choppy. Most people are going mobile and losing their land lines. How about trying video conferencing with your mobile card, it is not going to work. Stay clear of this company.

Albert the system... your a jack ###. ACN sucks man. I am a leading network market manager with a very large company and I never saw customer service as bad as with this company.

ACN MEETINGS ARE KIND OF DECEPTIVE BECAUSE THE SPEAKERS TELL THE SAME STORY OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN, THEY MIGHT AS WELL PLAY A RECORDING OR A VIDEO THROUGH THE VIDEO PHONE..WAIT A SECOND, AT ACN MEETINGS NEVER SHOW A WORKING VIDEO PHONE, OR EVEN TEST SUCH DEVICE, ONCE I CHALLENGE ONE OF THE MULTI TRILLIONERS OF ACN TO CONNECT AND MAKE A VIDEO CALL TO ANOTHER ACN VIDEO PHONE, ANSWER, SURE WHY NOT, LATER, NEVER HAPPENED.
THE VIDEO PHONE TECHNOLOGY JUST DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY, IF YOU WANT GOOD VIDEO AND AUDIO STREAMING YOU NEED TI OR FIBER OPTIC LINE PLUS YOU NEED TO GET A GOOD ROUTER PLUS NEED TOO CHANGE THE PORTS OF THE ROUTER AND PROBABLY REPLACE THE CORDLESS PHONES SO YOU CAN USE THE ONES ACN SELLS SPECIALLY FOR YOUR VIDEO PHONE. I THINK ACN IS NOT QUITE AS HONEST AS THEY CLAIM TO BE, SHOW THE DAMM VIDEO PHONE IN YOUR MEETINGS AND PLACE VIDEO CALLS TO EUROPE, AUSTRALIA, ACROSS NORTH AMERICA AND SEE FOR YOURSELF THE VIDEO QUALITY, IT REALLY SUCKS, THEN CALL THE CANADIAN CUSTOMER SUPPORT THAT DOES NOT WORK 7/24. JUST IN CASE YOU PHONE GOES DOWN ON THE WEEKEND... YOU ARE DOOMED, AND PERHAPS YOU WILL NOT UNDERSTAND THE ACN CUSTOMER SERVICE REP...CALL THEM AND HEAR FOR YOURSELF...

acn has been a nightmare for me. my husband has been brain washed with this company. First he has been going to the meetings every saturday, now started going during the week on top of going to meet with suckers to sign them up. I refuse to believe in a company that charges their new representative $499 is worth while considering if the business was worth while the business would speak for themselves. But as they know that probably about out of 100 people that sign up only 1 or 2 will continue. But by then, they would have earned $50, 000 in entry commission and then all those representatives would have signed up at least 10 people each approx giving ACN 1000 new customers(suckers). Then they have these wonderful meetings interstate which my husband has also been suckered into, spending another $400 or so, who pays for that, we do from our money. On top of that he has been stupid calling everyone on his phone list to try and get them to sign up too, which has now gone over $600 in less than 2 months. On top of that he has signed up for a video phone $299 + postage and handling and turns out we will be in a contract. Seriously, and for what, i havent seen a dime back from all the money he keeps spending. We have never had serious problems like ACN have caused me. I wish my husband had seen the light like Renata and just cut his losses but maybe he is in too deep and when he realised that he is doomed to fail it will be too late and ACN a lot more better off for his stupidity.

I went to a meeting last night [protected] and it sounded very good and who doesn't have a cell phone and why mot make money just doing what we all do. We all have cell phones and i am told they are cheaper and all customer service is with the service provider like Verizon so how can we lose on this great deal. I had a problem with the $500.00 cost and after reading different sites they also charge 30.00 a month web site fee and $150.00 a year and you get charged if people stop paying there bill. I liked Amway it was a low cost and you buy things you use without this high cost. If you stop doing ACN looks like you can lose money. If the money earned is because of the sign up bonus and not the products being sold every month you can have a hard time keeping friends and having family being happy with you. I will past at this time with ACN. Show me how to make money from selling a product and not from sign people up at $500.00 a pop. Thanks Bill T in San Diego

I recently received an email from an old classmate of mine through Facebook. She asked me about this "new business opportunity" that she would like me to look at. When I asked her, "What is the opportunity and what is it doing", she side-stepped the question, "oh you will love it, but don't have time to tell you anything about it, I will send you out the information." No company name, no information as to what products/services is being sold.

Well, I talked with my wife about this when she got home from work. By the way, my wife was a Mary K. Consultant. She is now a Party Lite Consultant. I got involved with the dangerous aspect of Amyway (some of the products are good but did not like the pyrmiad module of the MLM).

Anyway, as we began to talk about this, I jokingly said "If it is Amway, I am gonna be miffed".

Well today, after a couple weeks, I got the information in the mail. I am looking at this. I am looking at the website. I am looking at the independents rep website. no real information about the cost of investment.

Why wouldn't the company put out the cost of investment for the business?

Now, I mention this in the context of how other home based businesses are accomplished. Take for instance Party lite (yes, going to plug my wife's party lite website in here) www.partylite.biz/daringtodream

Now, what is the investment in becoming a Partylite consultant? Well you host a party lite show and get $350.00 in sales that is your investment. Essentially, my wife will go in and do a show to "sell the product" which is candles, home decor, and other such necessities and if the Host/Hostess wants to become a consultant him and herself, they will be able to by the sales that the show makes. This is stated in their presentation. On top of this, a host/hostess actually earns "Specials" for that month. Either a discount on a popular product(s). What if you don't get $350.00 and you still want to become a consultant? There is the offset factor to my understanding or the ability to host other shows until you reach that.

Another aspect of this, there was a huge Party Lite conference, My wife could not go but had already paid for it. Someone else went into her place. She still received $500.00 of product for free, well if you want to count the fact that she paid for that for the conference, she paid for the new fall products that have come out.

All of this is upfront in home based business like Party lite.

Myself, I love to cook. I have been looking to become a Pampered Chef Consultant. Guess what, the cost of investment is stated right on the back of the pampered chef catalog and that investment is only $155.00 and you get all that you need to do a show... I have hosted a pampered chef show, my wife has hosted and done Mary K (and still does), she has friends who do Tupperware, Tastefully Simple, Pampered Chef. There are much better home based business that are not like these MLM...

Granted, yes, my wife signs people up under her, but these business are more about selling product than getting people signed up. Yes, the goal is to get someone to become a consultant, but it is a by product of being able to sell candles, kitchenware, spices, storage containers, and other such things.

So, after reviewing the material that was sent to me? Knowing what we use already for wireless, broadband internet, cable, and VOIP through our wireless carrier (which is the cheapest on the market because we have the TMobile At Home Service. Granted it has been a pain when we initially set it up, but we have had those issues resolved and it works just fine now).

And, on a final note, when I discussed this with my old classmate, I asked a very simple question (which was the very first red flag for me). If I take a look at what you have to offer, will you be willing to host a show for my wife? Her response? "I am too busy to do anything else but this business opportunity and you will understand why when you receive the paperwork).

Honestly, if an individual is trained not to be upfront and honest with you about everything, including the investment or even what it is about, then why invest your money?

And if anyone disagrees with me on this, it shows that they lack the necessary Critical Thinking Skills to make an informed decision that will affect their pocket book and life. Yeah, I want to work from home. Yes, I know what it takes. And, yes, I understand.

But go into any McDonalds Restaruant and ask how you can find out about starting up your own franchise. The investment is right up front.

Why can't ACN say this? Why do they have to be deceptive about it? Because if they were open and honest, they would not be able to accomplish that which they have brainwashed many people into thinking. And, furthermore, to supress any critical analyst of their company is further evidence that they are not a reputable company to begin with.

YES YOU ARE RIGHT! More people should think like YOU!

I was asked to look over the company's brochure and leaflet by an acquaintance. From the moment he started speaking about the company I knew it was a pyramid scheme of sorts.

I have spent one half hour researching this endeavor and have already read 100 or more negative comments about this company, and 3 positive (all by present employees and not customers). From product through to service. If nothing else matters about a business, it's their ability to provide a quality product and back it up with at least average support and service.

From what I have read, this company is seriously lacking in all the necessary components of successful business. If they can scam people in to thinking they will make a killing by providing a company with tons of sales, then all the power to them. But. That would only prove that they are capable of scheming and swindling people out of their money. In return trading shady product and shifty customer service practices.

Representatives that are aware of shifty business practices and remain an employee proudly, should consider themselves just as shady. Best of luck, because what comes around, goes around.

I am a skeptic of ACN and the pyramid and think you should be too.

If this product, the video phone was so great, then it should sell it self, and telco's would be lining up to sell it, similar to the blackberry or the I phone. But it's not, and I suspect that while a video phone and digital phone services are good for some, most people would prefer not to be seen on a phone call for many reasons. I therefor think the video phone is a decoy or patsy.

I live, and was pitched acn in Ontario Canada. In the past Bell Canada had a monopoly, recently there was a deregulation that permits other companies to sell landline services. Same goes for cable, where Rogers or Shaw cable previously controlled all. Now there is a cross pollination of telephone companies selling internet and cable, and cable companies selling home phone and long distance. Furthermore to end monopoly status a company such as bell with a vast ground infrastructure is require to allow other companies, (such as ACN) to use there existing ground lines. Instead of being forced to share what was already Ma Bells holdings, The Reps for ACN claim that they have instead partnered with Bell, and Telus for cellular service use and so on. And the big catch is that it will be cheaper. I say great where can I start to save... This is where skepticism arrives. (you have already read above about how terrible the ACN service is, and the newly deregulated competition created between telcos and cablecos is already saving me money comparable to ACN's claims.

Because of the way the pyramid reward for employees of ACN is structured, making a sale to you is not worth while, it is only worth 1/4 of a percent per service. And taking there number of an estimated $38 canadian dollars per month for a service (say cellular) this adds up to .09 cents a month. peanuts. However as you move down the line the percentiles increase, and by the time a salesperson at the seventh step below you makes the identical sale and earning the same 1/4 percent, your commission on the very same sale will be as high as 10 percent or $3.80. It is easy then to see why an emphasis is placed on recruiting other salesmen instead of actually making a sale. I kept asking myself, why did the salesman not ask me to bring in my telco bills to share, and then show me how much I could save in real dollars and cents, that is what I would want to do. I would say to potential customer A, your bill per month is x and I can sell you service for x minus 2, look how great that is.

During the ACN pitch the salesperson mentions that typical telco's and cableco's spend an estimated 1-2 million dollars a day on advertising, and also estimate it cost up to $400 to attract any single new customer. They then claim that they can instead save on advertising and pass on the savings to you. Does this sound familiar? Then why is the 499 entrance fee charged, that also costs, I am told 150 each additional year. Perhaps this is the motivation for people to keep trying to sell, as they are in the hole right off the start and feel self obligated to earn back their 499 loss to save face?

Ask yourself, is the only money to be made actually the 499 entrance fee earned by elders in the pyramid. Also if the product and service is so good why does it not sell it self via traditional sales methods that seem to have made telco and cablecos so rich.

When I am reading all this BS I feel sorry for you, people. You are bunch of complainers who sits on their ### and think only bad things about anything you come across in your life. Before you put ### over this company do more research. If everyone who got screwed by Bell, Rogers and all other similar companies (I am talking about Canada) decided to put complains on this site, the server would crush in a second. As example, it took me 8 months to get my money back from Bell, because they signed me up for a contract without my consent. I don't know anyone who didn't have a horror story about Bell or Rogers. Check Better Business Bureau. They have a lowest rate possible. And they are leading companies in Canada. The whole Europe, Asia, Astrualia are booming with this business. And all you do is complain becuase you were screwed by your friends, or pushed by some aggressive salesrep. I signed up, I am using 4 services, I have a best customer service ever since I dumped Bell and Yak.
ACN has a great technology, they use direct marketing model to sale their products and services, one of the oldest business models in a world. The question for you is can you make money using this model or not?
I GUESS NOT!
When my 79 y.o. old mom, who lives thousand of miles away in Siberia can call me anytime and see me anytime she wants using video phone, I say : Thank you ACN! Thank you for your vision!
And you stay home, be miserable, hate your friends, hate your job. Have a nice life!
Larissa from Russia with love!

Oh, ya. One more thing. While you are counting how many cents you saved this months, someone is counting their millions, billions Doesn't matter if it's telcos, cablecos, bell...cos or acn...cos or whatever...cos.
At least ACN gives you opportunity to make money too. Not everybody will, for sure. But not everybody is the owner of a billion dollar corporation either.
Nobody's fool, ACN has own agenda: build strong clientel base and make money. Wow how cruel! Bad bad ACN.

I can tell all of you from a great deal of experience that ACN is a good compnay and like many other companies there are people who dont get it and will raise hell just to hear themselves speak.
Before ACN I was in FHTM, was qualified as an Exective according to home office but never got paid my $40, 000 in pay and then they retracted it and will not meet with my attorney and witnesses) it truly is a company that needs to be looked at as far as bad business practices. They resell for companies and over charge hugh amounts to the comsumer as a way of saying they are legal. I dont know how they get away with selling people a Travelosity website for $49.95 a month when Travelosity will give it to you for FREE! This goes on and on.
If any of you need to know more about the differences between ACN and FHTM I will be more than happy to answer any questions. Just be ready for the truth about why you should be turning FHTM over to the authorities.

I just want to thank everyone who posted. I was iffy about ACN, still kinda am, but at least know much more about it. I have a friend who signed up over 2 months ago, and she's having a difficult time finding reps. I am uspet with how they all just want to sign people up, if the deals are so good, why don't we hear more about them? Again, I don't know much about it, but this site helped me see a bit further!

I am a very pissed off, soon to be wife (depending how far ACN drives us apart)of an ACN rep:

For the longest time my fiances father has been driving us up the wall about joining ACN with him, My fiance believes that because his dad is doing it it must be a smart move and a great opportunity(which also happens to be all they tell you) We went to the "PBR"s with him and he brought along some of the higher level reps to explain (like an annoying infomericial) Why we should join over and over and over.. still no real mension of the products they are "selling". My future to be father in law has been working his ### off for 7 months only to receive 40 points (which hasn't made him a dime and is very hard to do) You have to make so many points to make any money, in different levels before you see any residuals they tell you about and etc..

We went to see the "queen" of ACN, Mrs Debbi Davis in Canada (one of the people who apparently got the business started) which I find very hard to believe, I also swear I have seen her somewhere around town before.. "She came from far away just to tell us her secrets, she is the best of the best..etc" then when she came out she gave us the exact same presentation that everyone else has been giving us from the start.. I am going insane and feel like I am in hell with no way back.. My fiance decided he wants to do it just because his dad offered to pay the $500 for him, even tho his dad doesn't have any money either.. They pray on the desperate and needy, they tell you the biggest way you will get recruits is if you keep "your WHY" in mind.. (Your "WHY" is the reason you need the money.. for example, our wedding. coming up.. )

I keep hearing all these complaints about not getting the service they paid for, contracts with small print and red tape all over them, someone also said they use to do gas but then got a bunch of people to switch to their gas service and then canceled it.. and now they are saying "we are starting with gas and hydro in January"again tho they still are more about the recruiting then any of the services..

..and what about the videophones, they keep saying it is the way of the future but really, how many people are there with these phones since they have been selling them? I have not seen anyone make any money off this, even with them working their ### off, they go to the conferences, never miss a training day..etc, and even tho they are really great at pitching, they receive no clients because the clients all think its a scam too..

oh and another thing Debbie Davis said to us in regard to the pyramid..she said this company is not a pyramid, regular jobs are the pyramid.. anyone you work for hires you so they can make more money and be successful in this company you will always be on top no matter how many others are above you.. (Only with a regular job at least you know what you are selling and do not have to pay to work there) Then she just went on about making sure we recruit more people and to do that we should take their situation and personalize the sale with the client, ex, if they want a boat say " Hey, I think I may have found a way to make enough money to buy that boat you always wanted" etc.. Again, just to recruit that person not to sell the product.. you end up driving your friends and family away (your warm market) by being an ACN rep! so BEWARE of all the people who do not believe in ACN if you join..

It is a load of crap.. Also I suggest to talk to your girlffriends, boyfriends, husband or wife about it first before you decide to take this plunge and join ACN.. because they will be in their own private hell if they do not agree with you and you go through with it..
I have stood by my man and been trying to help him get customers etc, I have been recruiting for him and helping him along even tho I don't believe because there is nothing I can do to about his decision and because I love him, but it is really killing me..

Also they may say that it only takes 30-45 min.. but it never does! it never ends! there are meetings every night you end up being dragged to that are a total waist of time cause they say the same thing over and over.. and another catch is you can
't market what you are selling, you can't tell anyone anything about the services in which no one in the whole business seems to know anything about the services anyway..
For all you pro ACN reps.. How are you suppose to sell something without having knowledge of or be aloud to talk about what you are selling?

My husband and I signed up to ACN last feb and my sister and her husband and other family members signed up as well. I feel bad for them because I feel like I sucked them into the same scam I was sucked into. In 5 months ACN cost us 19 000.00! My upline insisted I fly to Vancouver and Toronto for trade shows but there was no mention about them paying for my stay! This company cost me time from my family, loss of friends and I even lost myself. Yes if you put a lot of effort and money into your investment there is a very small possibility you may become RVP but in order to do that, you have to become the most crooked person you could think of. Just don't make the same mistake we did. I gave them 13 reps and many customers in 3 months and I finally got a cheque in the mail 9 months later for 11$. So it cost us 19000 of our own money, 13 other reps at how ever much they each invested and 20 some customers and what ever else they signed up to and WE GOT AN 11$ CHEQUE BACK. LMAO.

ACN sucks all round, dropped calls echo sound through your calls. Update that knock your service out leaving you stranded.
If the Donald is part of this you think it was legit. Shame on you Mr. Trump for endorsing ### like this! YOUR FIRED!

I don't think you know what your talking about? I just think you never took your job serious & focused more on the negatives..
these is suppose to be hard times & that real money don't come so easy as you think it would, you just are not patient enough and think that it's suppose to be piece of cake.. well that's your 1st mistake but i bet if you didn't cry like a baby & not give up you'd become a success person! seem your a person that's like to complain a lot.

The ones who hail ANC here are ruthless poeple who wouldn't shy away selling Eskimos refrigerators and taking the home of their grandmother away. Shame to you. You are not better than any common thieves.

The rest, if you hear MLM (multi level marketing) direct marketing - any of these terms and the company has a great commission plan to sign up more REP's you are looking at a pyramid scheme - no matter how you slice and dice it. The only ones that are guaranteed to make money are the ones on the top of the pyramid.

Can you make money - yes if you sell your sole to the devil, become ruthless - follow the mantra you might be lucky to create your own pyramid, which you have to maintain. But it is at the cost of others. We don't need to go into the details, but there are not enough people on earth to sustain an MLM scheme forever. If the recruitment base is exhausted you are the last element you only option is to recruit customers. Therefore all the promises of bonus pays will be pipe dreams.

This is not the first MLM opportunity and unfortunately it will not be the last. And companies like this unfortunately always find immoral poeple who continue. And they know they walk the fine line of legality - all around the world - do your research.

I can't believe some of these dopey reps come on here after clearly most of the people posting know what ACN really is, and still try to recruit people. I was in an accident a couple months back because some dope w/out a license made an improper left turn. An ACN rep saw the whole thing & remained @ the scene for about 3 hours, talked to the cops & basically took her time to offer her assistance. Hardly necessary but seemed nice @ the time. While we talked & waited for the cops to do their thing she asked where I worked & some other things & mentioned how she worked for a telecommunications company that basically pays you to pay your phone bill. I had never heard about ACN before but I told her it's not something I'd be interested in. That should've been the end of it right there! It wasn't. She's relentless. After about the 2nd hour after the accident I started to wonder what exactly was going on. People aren't that nice. I'm currently flipping a house & was on my way to pick up drywall @ the time of the accident. She was driving a brand new extended Toyota Tundra & offered to let me use it. She doesn't even know me! I haven't checked the value of that truck but it's gotta be around $40, 000. She also claimed to flip houses. After that I knew something was wrong. She followed me to my moms house, where I came from in the first place, "to make sure I got back OK". She wanted to meet my mom. Somewhere during the course of that conversation she mentioned again that I could use her truck. So that 2nd time mentioning the use of the truck scared the crap out've me because I knew that wasn't going to be the end of whatever she's trying to do, whatever the reason was that she stopped and appeared to want to "help" in the first place. She told my mom she's flipped 6 or 7 houses. It's not that high of a number & I'd think you'd know whether it is 6 or 7. Beyond that if you've flipped that many houses I don't see why a person would feel any need to bother with this ACN scam, however it qualifies one for many tax exemptions since it appears to be a "business".

So anyway she called me up one day to "invite" me to an "event". I really didn't want to go because my time should be much better spent working on the house that will really make me money. But due to the fact that she was successful in instilling a feeling of obligation to repay her for her time, I agreed to go. I saw the exact same presentation described by others on this site. I had asked her where it was, I wanted to drive myself but she really wanted me to ride w/her. She was going to take me out for coffee afterwards to show her appreciation. Appreciation? For what exactly? She said it wasn't a sales pitch, "it's a way to help me and my family to save money". Then should I not be taking her for coffee to show my appreciation? She just wanted me to be trapped there. I knew that b4 I went, but what's the worst that could happen? I end up wasting 3 hours of my time. So that's what I did. She's still calling me up using her "knowledge of flipping houses, real estate connections & use of her vehicle to disguise what she's really after. Saving the real stuff 'til the end of the message/conversation. Trying to suck me in. She continues to mention saving my parents money. I told her my dad can't do anything but lay in a bed & watch TV. ACN doesn't provide TV service "yet". He doesn't talk on the phone. I've also told her my mom would never be interested. She doesn't need to save money on her phone. My mom is the reason I'm able to do what I'm doing. She's the reason I have transportation & funds & whatever else I need to accomplish it, and the reason I don't need to borrow a complete strangers brand new truck! My mom has the wealth she has because she did real work, providing real service to people. She's never taken advantage of anyone. She was smart with her money & it paid off. My uncle is the opposite & he does take advantage of people whenever he can. Works for him. He's become fairly wealthy as well & resents my mom because he couldn't "beat" her, financially, like he set out to do when he was younger. So the point of that is that you don't need to be ruthless to be financially secure, but either way can work. I suppose it may depend on what kind of person you are. This broad that keeps harassing me reminds me of Jimmy Swaggart. I wish she would just stay away from me & stop trying to con me out of my money, that I actually work for!

I'd also like to state that the ACN video phone is not the way of the future. It is not an ACN product. They bought them from a company called WorldGate Communications for $50 million. They just branded them with their own logo. If anyone asks you to go to one of these dumb presentations, you can save yourself 3 hours of your time by reading the Wikipedia article & ignoring the negative parts. That's exactly what the presentation I saw was. Donald Trump ENDORSES the product, he has not INVESTED in it. Donald Trump did not get where he is by being honest, compassionate, or stupid. He was paid to ENDORSE that piece of useless, worthless junk. He is an investor in real estate, because he knows there is money in it. The technology that permits a video phone to function (the internet) was made possible by hardware (computers) that makes a much better video phone than WorldGate Communications, ACN branded, single purpose video phone. PCs have much bigger, higher res monitors, bigger & better speakers & a PC already exists in anyones home w/an internet connection. All you need is a mic & a web cam. A PC can do anything, what are the capabilities of a videophone? It only does one thing and the equipment you already own does that one thing much much better. Also consider that TVs now come w/intenet connectivity, MS & Sony have their own networks w/Xbox Live & PSN. Microsofts Project NATAL technology will enable people to interact w/multimedia content w/out even touching a physical device. They are working towards total integration of all media in the home & business. Certainly we will be able to see who we are talking to on the "phone" but it won't be on some dinky standalone piece of junk on your desk where you already have a PC. I can say w/much confidence that most people would prefer to talk on something that is cordless & lay on the couch or in bed or even go about accomplishing some chore in their home while talking on the phone before they sit in front of some little screen @ a desk just to see the person they're talking to. If they do want to see that person, whether @ home or work, I'm sure they'd prefer it to be on a bigger, better screen w/bigger, better audio like their PC or TV provides. The technology to do all of what I've mentioned exists now. It's all real & it will do all of what I've said. VOIP is not new, it is not exclusive to ACN & it will be utilized in the same way as ACNs novelty but through much better, much much more capable & convenient hardware that already exists in the home, or will exist for purposes other than only being able to see who you're talking to.

Companies like Microsoft will dictate how we communticate & receive media. Games & movies are already moving towards digital download. Motion capture technology like NATAL permits recognition & navigation w/out even touching anything! Videophones were obsolete before they were even given a thought because the network necessary for it to work needed better suited hardware for that network to exist in the first place. Don't get suckered by this. Take some time to educate yourself before you do things. There are much better, legitimate ways to invest your time & money.

As for ACN being the 22nd fastest growing company in its 1st 5 years while MS was 80th in its 1st 5. MS was trying to figure out what to do with a piece of technology that had never existed before. From that Bill Gates built the foundation for almost everything we do electronically today & the foundation for what will become of the future. All ACN has done is "partner" w/companies that already exist, that already have the infrastructure & equipment to provide the same services. How are you supposed to get a cheaper & better service from ACN than from the company that directly provides the service? Well if they have grown as they say they have then there are clearly a lot of suckers and ruthless ###s out there. If ACN were a legit company then all those "reps" that are taking advantage of people, by doing things like forging signatures as was mentioned before, wouldn't be allowed to continue. They would change the way they do business. Their business is based on a persons concern for family & friends as well as peoples stupidity & desire to be rich. They know that family & friends are a lot less likely to say no to someone asking for "help" with their business than they are to a telemarketer or some other annoying pain in the ### salesperson.

So to end my thoughts on this, It's pretty clear ACN is a pyramid disguised as a "business". I have a lot of problems w/companies like Bell & Microsoft because of their poor service & buggy products. They take advantage of their hold on their respective markets & have a lot of things worth complaining about, but they are real companies that make money providing real products & services that we really do & will continue to use. I just told this impossible broad the other day that I ordered a DSL modem from Bell & will be sticking w/them. It will actually turn out to be cheaper than the price that I was told w/ACN & be a better service w/no contract. She still calls up and wants me to come over & analyze the #s to see what's best for me?! WTF? I already analyzed the #s & told her what's best. I hope I've provided something helpful to keep someone out've trouble. In return maybe someone could give me their thoughts on the best way to get this crazy ### to stop harassing me?!

-Jeff.

Jeff,
tell her you lost your job, money, house, girlfriend, family, dog and perroquet doing business with Landmark Education. It seems to me they are together in lowlife business. The people who don't stop harassing me represent Landmark and ACN... OMG, that's tough man. Unfortunately they are my friends and my roommates .. so, you can imagine how tough it is. I did as you said, I had educated myself before say thanks but no thanks... but they didn't take well! Some nerve! Well, I'll move out asap.

I was contacted by a fairly new ACN rep who suggested that I might consider getting in with the company as a rep, it's fairly easy money and can be done from home. Since they are customers as well as reps, we could be saving $$$ on our phone, internet services, too. We have not heard from this friend in years and she would not tell us exactly where she had moved to. Or give us her new phone number, she said we could keep in touch via Facebook and the ACN website she and her husband has. Very neutral at this point, but cautious too. Try putting some of the older names johndoe.acnrep.com into your address bar and see if they are still with the company and how they feel about it after a year or more. I couldn't find any of their domains and that suggests A LOT.

DON'T SIGN UP WITH ACN IT IS A SCAM! I signed up with acn. I had 2 of their reps come to my house and "help" me through the system so I was able to get signed up for quickly.

I said I needed a fax line and if the digital phone couldn't accommodate a fax line I didn't want it. The rep Harmeet Singh said yes you can use a fax I check it has a distinct ring.

They fast tracked my through the sign up, had I been given the opportunity to read through the pages I would have learned you can't use a fax machine with the video phone. So now the company refuses to refund me my money and want to charge me an addition $200 for cancelling. They say if I signed up myself this screen should have come up, well if the reps had given me an opportunity to read the screens in stead of fast tracking my through and telling me certain screens didn't apply to me when they obviously apply to me as they apparently stated it couldn't accommodate a fax line!

Mark the "ETT" guy with Harmeet said I also needed to sign up for the regular phone line as my phone would be disconnected and I would be without a phone for a month.

This was TOTALLY UNTRUE! They signed my up for added services I didn't need so they could get themselves promoted within the company.

Since November 2009 I've been trying to get ACN customer service to cancel my lines and refund my money and stop taking money off of my VISA. They keep saying they will and they don't. It is now almost March! I've asked who I can contact and put this in writing and they say there's no one I can contact by writing.

This whole company is an unethical scam. IF ANYONE IS EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH THE REPS AND THIS COMPANY, PLEASE CONTACT ME AS I THINK WE SHOULD CONSIDER A CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT. You can reach me through email: rcraggy@yahoo.ca

I've had people try to recruit me and all I hear is recruit recruit recruit...not much about selling the product itself...I think it's a total scam and it doesn't take much to figure this out...my advice would be to stay away...stay FAR away...save your 500 bucks spend it on a box of cigars or something that has real merit instead of making some fat cats wallet fatter and you a little broker with no family or friends.

Those of you that posted negative comments about the ACN opportunity obviously have always been a failure at whatever you have done in life. The fact is, the opportunity is NOT a 'get rich quick scheme' ! You have to work at the business, and work hard ! Also, The ACN OPPORTUNITY is not a 'PYRAMID SCHEME'. You obviously have not done your homework, this doesn't surprise me, hence this is why YOU are a dream stealer ! You wanted money handed to you or you are a competitor in the network marketing business. I'm willing to bet that you are all competitor's judging by your negative comments!
The ACN Business Opportunity is a very simple concept. My TEAM IS VERY, VERY successful because I trained them properly and I did not present this wonderful opportunity to "LIFELONG DUD'S " !
"LAZY PEOPLE, WILL ALWAYS BE LAZY, THEIR ENTIRE LIVES" !

Sincerely, R. SEAN DACEY

Hi I just sign up but before I signed up the was really puching me and threw out the whole presentaion they never said anything about a $499 fee . So when I filled out the application I got half way and one of the guys took my paper and put a check mark next to the agreement on paying the $499 I was nervus bu for me it's hard to say something to ppl and I was dumb enough to sign the application ... So If u get this or anyone that is reading this can u give me a number I can call to get my refund back .. Thanks Joe ... My email is " CAR0490@yahoo.com "

Totally agree. I live in MA (Brant Rock) and was appraoched by a "lunatic" a couple months ago -
he was trying to force me to come to a meeting - like some kind of cult. I reported this scam to
the DA's office in hope of saving others from this companies lies and deceit.

You'll lose all your money

You'll be in debt for years.

You'll lose all your friends and family if you get them into this scam

DON"T DO IT!

If you don't have time to read my post DO NOT ASSOCIATE YOURSELF WITH ACN IN ANYWAY OR FORM! But for those of you who wants to know how I was tricked, here goes.

Four years ago I started my new career as an electrician. My new coworker, at the time, mentioned that he had a telephone business on the side and that I seem smart and would be very capable of doing "business" with him. He seemed very friendly and persisted that I checked out his business ACN. I felt pressure into checking it out since I wanted to make a new friend. I saw that same video of donald trump that everyone else saw. I decided to sign up and gave it a try. Why not right? I paid the one time fee of $500 and did everything ACN wanted me to do. Find 5 customers and recruit 2 reps in 30 days. One month later, I was awarded my first bonus of $500 in a hotel conference room of about 200 people. Needless to say, I was stoked. They gave me one of those big checks. Fast forward another month. My actual check came in the mail and was only $100! They were only putting on a show in hopes of recruiting more people at the confernce room! Then the real problems started. One of my closest friend who signed up for the service complained that there were telemarketers constantly calling her all day and night and she was fed up. She cancelled the service and ACN billed her 3 more months before turning off her line. Then my mom decided to cancel because she didn't use it much. They billed her for a whole YEAR before they turned off her line. Customer service SUCKS. I felt so bad that I ended up paying both my mom and my friend's bill. Looking back in retrospect, I remember my "friendly" coworker always walking up to strangers and trying to recruit them. It made me sick to watch him do his sales pitch. I felt guilty as I did not intervene. On top of that, my "boss" called me everyday to make sure I was recruiting people. That seemed more important than signing up actual customers. I'm sure my friends and family did not want to talk to me at that point because I turned into a greedy, selfish green eye monster ###. I was becoming like my "friendly coworker". At the end of the year, you get a choice to renew your membership as an ACN rep for $200. No thanks. So in summary, I spent about $1000 and only got back $100. So like the listing above said, if you want to lose your friends and lots of money, waste your time and is morally challenged, go ahead and sign right on up with ACN. I'm lucky that my friends and family forgave me. I wonder if my former friendly coworker is still out there recruiting...uhg. (shivers)

My husband recently got involved in ACN. The guy who recruted him has been riding him like a pony everysince. He went to the big convention a few months ago and I am afraid he drank the "Kool aid" Hwe came home a compleatly differnet person. Very scarrrrryyyy. Now he is totally frustrated by this and wants out. So what do they do... The A##@@$ who signed him up just slammed my phone and internet sevice. They signed us up for ACN services with out my consent or authorization. My name is the only one on the qwest bill and I have never wanted ACN services. All the ACN propiganda states that "Slamming" Is agaainst thier policies

its been 9 months since i joined ACN as a REP and i always get paid all that i m suppose to get my downline also if u do what they say u will get paid but its not easy but its not hard either lol.

i m a TC and very happy to be in ACN if u really want get answers about ACN ask members they will tell u if they happy or not dont worry nobody likes to loose money but ask members that really did it not just people that joined because someone tell them to haahhaha thats nutz.

i joined because i liked the busyness plan of ACN be honest nobody sign for u or took the money out of your pocket if they did thats why u dint go far in ACN lol decide for your self .
For sure think before make any decision and make sure your upline is what they say they are because its very easy ACN if you have their to support and they teach u what u need to know with out a good team dont even join lol i got an amazing upline and downline so even if i m not good i cant fail lol .

HOPE THIS HELPS AND MAKE UR OWN DECISION ;)

Hi,
I recently joined as acn representative this Feb.12, 2009, I got two reps within 30 days and the company sent me two cheques worth 500.00 dollars as part of February promotion. I have no problem with Acn, I been using their services for a year before joining a representative. The services is really good and I save more money, the video phone is amazing, it helps me a lot because everytime I call my parents abroad, I can see them not only hearing thier voices.I'm so excited my incoming bonus for my 60 days promotion. If you work hard and be with the right people you will get success. I believe the ACN gives us a very good opportunity.

Please spread this everywhere it is challenge to Donald Trump and ACN.

People have a choice. Success is a choice. You can either complain and make excuses, or make money. Most people that join MLM want to make extra money on the side. Some want to join to make a residual income. Every company in the World has problems here in there, from billing to customer service. Not every business is perfect. Especially when they have millions of customers. Do you think that every i-phone is perfect? How about your new car... appliance... television...

You see, most people that post on here are either bored and have nothing better to do OR they have failed at their business and want to blame it on someone else. I will almost never be back on this site to see any responses from my post. MLM's are a numbers game. There is absolutely no luck invovled. If you never quit, you will be successfull! You notice I'm not durecting my attention to ACN. I'm directing my attention to ALL MLM's that are presented in todays society. You can make good maney in any of them if you believe in yourself.

Look at ENRON... Employees had a 401k of $300, 000 and in the end they had $100 to show for all their hard work.

Nothing is a for sure thing in this world. It's the choice you make and faith in the company that keeps you moving forward.

This is good advice for people starting a MLM business: NEVER NEVER NEVER approach the cold market in this business and never ask your friends and family to join. Only present them information when asked. Give them the information and let them decide for themselves. Give them a CHOICE. I always hear people that made absolutely no income in MLM, complaining about this business. That is because they made the CHOICE to be lazy. They made the CHOICE to stay home. They made the CHOICE to work for someone else's dream.

The people making money in MLM made the CHOICE to work it like it was their own. And IMO it is their own business...

Im Rep Of ACN, I started two weeks ago, I live in Canada, I have read all the stories and blogs, what do i think? well, first off, I would like to apologize for the people who have stole your money and have lied to you. The ACN has zero tolerence for slamming, if you encounter a situation with ACN and have had a bad expierence with your service or team, take down their ID number and bring them down with you. This will end the garbage reps in ACN. This company is actually filled with all kinds of people...good and bad people, Anyone that tries to get you to sign up right after the presentation, is an a dirty representative, I have waited and did my research for 5 weeks before joining. This is not a pyramid and I repeat, its not a pyramid. I would suggest the rest of the people to always research before joining. ACN has a bad reputation thanks to stupid people who can't explain the business properly or just force you into joining.

Im a QTT, I have provided service to my family and it has worked great. I have helped each family member $20 dollars or more from each service bill. If the cost of the service from ACN is more, I ask them not to purchase the service but 85% of the time, the services are cheaper with the same top of the line product. I Love ACN.

If you guys know anyone being scammed or being forced into acn, being harrased by phone calls, or has been completely mislead, ask the ACN rep for the ID number and report them. This will eliminate the bad reps from the good reps, because I myself dont need to call someone more than 2 times to ask if they need service, I have 5 people about to join under me. I have explained the $499 +tax fee and, for those who paid $25 dollars for the website, got screwed, you dont need to purchase that until you have atlease 2 levels you got suckered into it. Do not purchase the website until you have enough reps on your team. I feel sorry for the ones who have been screwed over by an ACN rep, but if you were under my team you would get the team support and training in order to succeed.

I Joined ACN to help my mom, 24 years ago my family arrived in Canada from Washington. My parents only could work full-time jobs at the time making 5-6 dollars an hour. my mom would do graveyard shifts in order to spend time with my sister and I during the day while my father worked. My mother helped my father get an education by taking care of us and serving my dad while he concentrated on his college, 3 years later my father became a licensed mechanic, but he was a sick individual under disguise, he cheated on my mom and harrased my cousin in aunt for 16 years, I am now 25 years old and recently my dad went to jail for sexual harrasment and other criminal charges, my mom wasted 25 years of her life with a garbage man, and she has no career or full education. I joined ACN to help her, I would never scam or slam anyone into this company because Im not only here to help my mom, I joined acn to help other as well, by giving them cheaper bills or changing their lives in a positive way. Im here to help peoples lives, not to screw them over, because if it were just for the money...I would get discouraged by reading all the negatives comments on how they got screwed with money.

Im one of many honest people who is a rep from ACN canada and will not screw anyone over to get a quick buck because thats what my low life father would do.

Anyone on this site who is pro ACN is being paid by ACN to write positive comments because they know how bad ACN's reputation is. When you type in ACN S, in google the first thing that comes up is ACN SCAM...I wonder why that is. ACN brain washes people who have lower self-esteem or who are looking for fast pay outs and "easy money". Nothing in life is worth it if it is easy! Get real jobs and stop harassing your friends and family people. Think about it, why would a company ask YOU to pay 500$ to work for them? REAL jobs are the opposite! When you say all you have to do it work hard if it is not working for you, I say BS. I thought the money was suppose to roll in effortlessly according to the video.It doesn’t work because it doesn’t work. Just because someone at some crappy conference tells you they make 5G a month and how easy it it...doesn’t make it true, stop being so naive people. If it were that easy would all the reps make so much...No it’s because only those at the top of the PYRAMID benefit...or should i say the "layered marketing"...LOL...nice try ACN, please people stop falling for this crap! OPEN YOUR EYES PEOPLE!

I feel your pain! My "friend" charged the $499 with out my authorization! I was told they would put the charge thru on July 2nd, but they put it thru on June 24th. So my 10 days to cancel was up before I knew it! I had my home party on July 8th and called my "friend" on the 9th to tell them I was not going to pursue this any further. Had they put the charge thru on July 2nd like they told me they were going to I could have gotten my money back. Any recommendations on how I can get back my $499?

I think that the first complain was wierd because ACN Was okay.

MY FIRST ANGRY STUNT THEY PULLED WAS MY PHONE BILL, DIDNT PAY 2 MONTHS OF SERVICE BECAUSE WE WERE TIGHT FOR MONEY, USUALLY BELL LETS YOU GO TILL 4TH MONTH, NOOOO THEY HAD TO SHUT OFF MY PHONE AND CANCELLED IT, THEY THEN SAID, OHHH WE HAVE TO SEND YOUR REQUEST FOR RE-CONNECTION TO AN AAAMERICAN COMPANY? WHAT THE HELL! REQUEST FOR RE-CONNECTION? WHY DONT YOU RECONNECT IT? THEN THEY SAID OH IT WILL TAKE 3 WEEKS! WHAT ARE YOU KIDDING? YOU CALL THIS CUSTOMER SERVICE?!

MY BF IS A REP AND HE WAS NEVER SO ANGRY AT A COMPANY! HES LIKE WE ARE TO PAY 192 DOLLARS FOR RECONNECTION FEE AND YOU CANT USE 3/4 OF THE MONTH, RIP-OFF! SO WE ARE WITH BELL...

BELL IS ACN'S [censor]ES CUZ THEY OUTBOUGHT THEM WHEN THEY WERE FOR SALE!

ACN IS IN INDIA BECAUSE THATS WHERE BELL OFFICE IS SO WHERE THEY ARE BELL THERES ACN

In Jan 2010, TAMMY, TERRY and JAMES entered the business when I showed them my checks. They were put under partners already in the business, providing them with a reward for promoting the business.

My checks
January $2500 plus $38 residual
February $3000 plus $260
March $4000 plus $450
April $4000 plus $700
May $7000 (maxed) plus $975
June $3000 plus $1200
July $7000 (maxed) plus $1400
Aug $7000 (maxed) already have 6 people too many and need to get promoted.

Now I'm going to tell you something other people won't tell you,
JASON stopped promoting the business in January.
JASON in Jan got a check for $1000, because TOM blew up and got 6 new people
JASON in Feb got a check for $500, because TOM got 4 more partners.
JASON in March got a check for $32. TOM passed him and get JASON's bonuses.
JASON is now complaining because isn't getting the bonuses from TOM.
JASON is still getting checks that are increasing, in July, they were $80.
If JASON had kept going and got ONE MORE PERSON, and so on, I would probably be a TC now. He has cost me at least $10, 000.

Yet, he doesn't want to do the business anymore.
Where's the disconnect?

By the way, in July, I had a meeting with my boss FRANK, and told him about my eye problem. I just couldn't see myself working there anymore. FRANK understood, as he got a check for $2000 that month.

Also, TASHA saved her house, and got a new car. MARK paid off his brother with his 2nd check, and guess what...his brother is now one of his business partners.
This is REAL folks. ACN has an A+ rating with the BBB. Will there be complaints, yes. There are in ANY business.
Finally, I have to share with you that there are some extremely smart and influential people getting involved in the business. Recently, one of my partners got the President of the local Realtor Association. She has over 15 brokers under her already. There are professional athletes in ACN. There are CEOs in ACN.

You can continue to exchange time for money, but THERE IS A DIFFERENT WAY.

You can join anyone's business, but I am very responsible for my partners. To at least make their money back within 30-60 days. Don't get me wrong, I do have people who fail. But it's usually because they don't listen or expect me to do all the work for them. Lastly, and this blows peoples minds: I don't have home meetings, in fact I rarely talk about the opportunity EXCEPT to take people with me to a training where am RVP presents the opportunity, and I teach my partners to do the same. That RVP is on the DVD video, with his family. I work about 25 hours per week at this business, mostly talking to my partners. I still have family members who are not in ACN. I still have friends who are not in ACN. I know lots of people who are not in ACN. I don't care that they don't see the opportunity, it's a free country.

Thanks for reading, don't email me. If after reading this, contact your local ACN partner. See you in Charlotte!
Sincerely,
Mike
