Another Get Rich Quick Scheme Raid~
After the incident of Stevens tea garden and Red Island Cafe, yet people still weren’t cautious enough over Unethical MLM companies or Get Rich Quick Schemes in the market. According to Voiceitout.com, another MLM group called “FriendsClub 8282″, “StarClub”, “Family club” or “One team” in Sunway Mentari were raided last month. I have realize that quite a numbers of luxurious cars in my area for quite sometime, and I thought was another Lam Berger group has set its camp in this area.

Surprisingly, now only I realize Lamp Berger (LB) has been shut down 3 years ago. And according to source, these clubs that were raided were founded by former active members of LB. After the closure of LB, these money suckers hadn’t had enough wealth to fulfill their greeds, so they reborn a 2nd generation of LB. 10 years ago, MLM were targeted mostly on Chinese, and slowly, years by years, the Chinese has learn their lessons and are not easily tempted. Hence, the new generation 8282 club has divert their attention to target the Malay groups. For local malays to start a franchising business, they had a privilege to apply soft loan from the government. So, friendsclub, brilliantly, they utilized this as an advantage to theirs, and has market it for subsequent 3-4 years.
According to source, the company that runs these clubs hadn’t had a license or approval from Bank Negara to operate such activities in the country. Their style of I wonder how much is the membership fees to join the club. However, upon joining, you get an business opportunity. Is there a product ? No~! service? NO! No product, No service, all you get is a business opportunity!? What kind opportunity you will get???? if someone from this club were to approach me… there will b lots of unanswered questionable doubts. Cause I don’t even get a tangible product to sell off in-order to cover off my cost. It looks more like a money laundering company, where u roll the money by sucking and sucking and sucking the money from your downlines.
Sadly, I don’t even think only the youngsters will fall for this, even the elderly generations which I overheard a group of aunties and uncles that were talking bout matching bonuses, binary systems, and How fast of getting back their money. And I observed how people convince the other. The wife try to convince his husband into the business, where the husband, by his facial expression, can tell he had too many doubts but he dare not question cause the group will start to brainwash him as he starts to speak. I hope the old couples will not fight over these issue~
I wonder when will there be another auction on those raided luxurious cars~~ hohoho…..

Are you really prepared for MLM? (Multilevel Marketing)
Looking at an innocent fresh young grad that dreaming to become a millionaire is being lured into a business by a pretty young direct seller makes me thinks of my past. Everyone wants to become a millionaire, or have a better living, a luxury car and a bungalow. Specially the freshly young graduates, eagerly to achieve a classy status might be the main drive for them to join into a get rich quick scheme. Due to some influences from Robert Kiyosaki’s series of books, and the famous Cantonese drama “Threshold of New Era”; since college I have been dreaming of becoming an entrepreneur, becoming a millionaire, care about my own business, having a better living for me and my family. As soon as I graduated, I was introduced by some friends about direct selling (there still weren’t any fancy words like ‘network marketing’ nor ‘multilevel marketing’ that time, and now they even called themselves ‘entrepreneurs’), where you were told that you could make millions as you join their network, and you can work part-time (oooo, sounds tempting).
Yes, I won’t deny that Multilevel Marketing can make you a fortune, gives you a better living. In fact, since the introduction of MLM, it created lots of millionaires around the world, its a proven concept. The question comes to whether if you are prepared for it yet. I have joined and tried a few, and personally, I don’t think I belongs there. So I quit. It just not my cup of tea. So before you join, considered these sacrifices:
- Are you prepared that your friends (specially your closest friends) will reject your offer, and start running away from you.
- Are you able to tolerate the spiritual style of motivations ceremony held weekly, everyone is like a hypnotherapist continuously brain washing you again and again, persuading you to become the next hypnotherapist. (I hated this the most, but you can’t deny their determinations and passion. I salute)
- Are you willing to go all out, leaving your career behind and make a fortune in MLM. (In order to succeed in MLM, I suggested you go all out focusing on what you should do, where else you will not go anywhere)
- Are you prepared to work your entire life with MLM? (MLMers will tell you that you need not work when your network is established and you will be earning a passive income monthly. and I don’t think that is entirely true. There is no free lunch in this world. No matter which level you have succeed in MLM, you will still need to work for it.)
- Are you prepared to take the blames from the person you recruited under you when things gone hay wired or you quit half way. (If you have caught in the most recent Get-Rich-Quick Scam such as the Red Island Cafe and Stevens Corner, you might feel the pain in the ass)
- How sure that the company you joined is not a scam? (Nowadays, MLM fees has increased so dramatically. my time, it was only less than RM100, and now there are few which need to start off with RM10k –RM20k to ensure your commitments. If you do not want your money to fall into the drains, please do some homework. you can refer to this site for scam)
- Please get your family support or a mutual agreement, your spouse specially. (I have seen husband and wife filed a divorce due to unsupportive relationships since one of the party involved in MLM).
Lastly, Quitters of MLM like me are not credible to give any opinions here about MLM. I don’t want MLMers to blast this post with hatred. MLMers are businessman. and not entrepreneur, though they claim they are. The founders of the MLM company is, but not the MLMers that follows trends that the founder created. To differentiate Entrepreneurs with Business Man, please read this post. There is no free lunch.
