quixtar? Options

[rnicron]

my brother's ex girlfriend is trying to get me in on this. i find out today through a mutual friend that it's quixtar and start looking up information on it, finding out that it all just seems like a big scam. it's nothing like they preach to you in the seminars. she then texted the mutual friend asking if he had told me the information.

don't come in here and say i don't know anything about it. i don't give a shit. i want real opinions on if it's worth it or not, and if the goals are obtainable.

Lol my friend an acquaintance of mine tried to get me into that crap. Yea, it's a total scam. They ask you to fork over $150 to join. Might as well join a fraternity - at least you get to party if you join a good one.

It's basically a pyramid scheme/scam, but the thing is that they preach to you so much that they almost force you to buy their "books" about how to be a business man. "Be your own business owner!" or "Buy things online for a little bit cheaper than what you buy at the mall, and you make money off of it as well!" or some crap like that. Basically, they sell stuff like cereal and makeup, but the cereal is overpriced ($5 for a regular size of cereal? No thanks, Costco's got me covered), and the make-up is their OWN line. How do I know about this? The acquaintance almost got Tony to do it, but Tony called in the next day to get a refund of that $150 or whatever it was to join. I kind of knew it was a scam since my friend tried to get me to join some other scam thing too. ROFL those books practically teach you shit that you, if you have common sense, SHOULD know.

There is no easy way to make it rich - we live in a "dog eat dog" kind of world, so there's always people trying to make the bigger buck. Most likely what you make isn't really worth your time. Oh yea and they say you can make so much money but seriously you can't unless you have a shitload of people below you who've bought into this scam as well.

BTW you have to put a lot of time into it - get people to join so that when people join and sell stuff, you can actually "make money" off of them. It's time consuming, since you have to go to their meetings. The acquaintance is flat broke right now, his car(s) are all fucked up, AND his life is going downhill. Too bad he already put so much time and money into quixtar and ended up quitting. He never explicitly that he quit, but I KNOW he did since I asked him if he was still in it, and he said he found another job to focus on but that he'd still continue quixtar.
