Shortcake clearly didn't understand the link. The CMA was set up by telemarketers to create an ethics code for telemarketers who join to follow. It seems the telemarketer in question has questionable ethics according to these posts.

As far as MLM goes, in Canada,

"An MLM plan is a plan with three or more levels (the operator and at least two levels of participants) that promotes the supply of a product to participants of the plan. Compensation is earned by participants in the MLM plan based on the supply of the product to participants and/or non-participants of the MLM plan. A legitimate MLM plan focuses on the supply of products rather than the recruitment of prospective participants into the MLM plan and offers products that consumers value and are willing to purchase."

I think people can decide for themselves based on this description whether a particular company is MLM or not.

All that I'm asking of you is that you remove all posts that we DID NOT CALL - let them use other forums or someone else's phone number but not ours.  I, and many of my colleagues, work under this phone number and there are many posts that are misleading, irrelevant or simply untrue and slanderous that are posted under this number.  If you choose to leave these posts for others to read, then please leave my post as well.  If this site is allowing freedom of speech regardless of relevance than I should be allowed to comment on the context as well and post whatever I like too, right?  Either remove posts that we did not call or allow mine to stay.

Previously a manager - makes complete sense - you must have pondered for hours through a thesaurus to compile the words that you've typed.  Clearly you have too much time as an unemployed former "manager for the world's largest consumer packaged goods company".  Funny, how you put down an industry you know nothing about.  I went this afternoon and did do a little research on this company.  Funny Nathan, how you only spin the side of the story to " preaching your garbage to the vulnerable of the internet."  You were slightly off on the company's yielded profit.  Last year, it was closer to $650 million.  You failed to mention that they also paid out to the consumer in death claims over $800 million, and they paid the "independant representatives" $673 million.  For me to think that I can learn an industry and succeed and you to say that it's a dream is to tell a student that school and education is worthless, because you'll never make what those ahead of you have.  From the sounds of it, it appears that you were a Quixtar failure, disgruntled. You "currently work in marketing for one of the world's largest internet companies, with the second-most visited site and largest e-mail host in the internet."  Such a busy man has time to surf the net spreading hate? Go to your 9-5, play with Video Google all you like, and stop trying to rob people with your negative gab.  I must appologize for the "attacks" on your character.  I, like you, Banana, and Michael R., hate the fact that people read crap on the internet and make decision based on bull.  Experience and facts are what truth and understanding are based upon.  Yet you posted an irrelevant link to a meaningless company, and hasted a warning on something you know nothing about.  It's like me, never travelling to Italy, warning people that it's like Bosnia - If I've never travelled or experienced it, how could I comment?  I'm an entrepeneur.  I've owned 2 Second Cups, and a variety of small businesses.  As you've attacked my character, things haven't always gone my way.  The truth is I believe that this company may be what I've been looking for - who knows - I'm excited about a chance to change.  Don't pity my children, we've accumulated a fantastic net worth, something I'm sure your father would be proud of.  Hopefully all those that are reading realize that the world is full of different people, each entitled to their own opinion.  Like others have typed - make your decisions based on what you see not read.  Some of the wealthiest people in the world had no experience or education when they embarked on their goldmines - they never listened to negative people, and were never influenced by those that had less than them.  Nathan - stick to your job, good luck - I'm chasing down my next dream!!

THANK GOODNESS I checked it out, the audacity. He was so pleasant from the start, and his script seemed so perfectly rehearsed that a mini red flag went up in my head, but then he continued to talk and talk about the opportunity, how no financial background is required, and that all I need was a love for people, good interpersonal and communication skills, and pretty much all of the other laundry terms that job seekers put on their resumes. So, it was hard to accept the interview because he made me feel so confident and optimistic about being a "leader" and a part of "the biggest financial institution in the world". My sister and her close friend both attended the first interview and confirmed that it was highly unprofessional. The questions that they asked were basic personality questions, hardly the grilling that one would expect from a solid company. I am supposed to go to my interview tomorrow, and if "Tal Grossman" had left a number to contact them if anything should arise, I would've had the courtesy to let them know I wasn't interested, but they didn't. So? Again, thank goodness I did my research!

Also, for those genuinely looking for the "truth", just keep doing your research, go with your instincts, and be weary of  the super positive comments such as the ones below, because they too might be hired by Primerica or similar companies, doing damage control on helpful and informative sites such as these.

Good luck to those still looking for employment!
Stay positive!!!
