I only make such a long post about this as I had to see people taken advantage of.

A lot of well meaning guys at work were ripped pretty hard (>$2000) from these kind of operations.

Omegatrend was one (selling amway type products), but also home loans and all sorts of other stuff.

Another was ACL that sold home phone plans, with the sellers getting a % share of their downstream sellers income.

They all work on the same premise and all end up the same way - everyone with a lot less money execpt the guys that came up with the business/scam.

Do your research, and do it thoroughly.

Good luck.
