out of curiosity.. who do you plan to sell water to here in vancouver.

BC has some of the cleanest tap/drinking water in canada, if not the world.
(IE: http://www.canada.com/vancouversun/n...b7e52a&k=32354 )

why pay for water when the best stuff is free.

Don't give me any bullshit either about how this water is enriched with vitamins and nutrients. On a basis of which water is more healthy/better for you. Plain old regular clean nothing added water wins every single time.

hchang, I urge you to read my post again. Nothing good can come from joining Perfect Water or any pyramid scheme. When you future employer/prospective employer finds out, friends and family find out you will look like a complete gullible idiot.

It sounds like you where brain washed, obviously the presentation sounded good, they're trained at selling bs.

edit** oh and your friends that are trying to sell you on this idea, they're no longer your friends, they just see you as a mark/target now. Only way they're making money is by recruiting more idiots into this scheme.

Anyone who joins crap like this shows me that they are gullible, desperate, retarded and has either no skillset or are too lazy to obtain a real career/job. I review a lot of resumes at work and any resume I see with crap like this on it, I crumple up and toss.

LOL, this is almost the same line word for word that one of my wifes friends used when he came to our house to show us something we may be interested in, another pyramid scam. It's stuff you're going to buy anyway right?

Such a scam, run don't walk friend.

shawn79 04-27-2010 06:52 AM

Dont even bother checking it out... once you check it out, your mind will already be brainwashed into this pyramid scheme LOL

My buddy had a meeting at his house once, i went to check it out. Holy fuck were they pushing hard to brainwash us. Too bad i was smart enough to tell all my other friends who were going "perfect water busniess entrepreneur" is FULL of bullshit. Anyone who tried perfect water should try drinking piss, if you want to do something amazing. Just ask Lyoto Machida :)

I worked at NCO in Surrey which had a huge open workspace. One of the people who was suckered into one of these scams would go from department to department on his break to try to sell this similar shit. He would approach people he didn't know who were sitting trying to do their job or on lunch and try to get them to buy from him. I had the unfortunate task of banning him from our department (I knew what his reaction would be like) and when he blew his stack he had the nerve to go to the site manager and say I was costing him money.

I pity what his social circle must have had to go through.



Oh, and if you're going to get pitched anything: get pitched timeshares. The free seminar incentives are much better.

Anytime you have to pay upfront to stay with a company should ring bells to you. Think about it, with any legit company, they pay for your training, not the other way around. Prepare to lose your friends if you become pushy on them to buy your perfect water.

I got suckered once by this dude I met in college. I was like 20 years old probably. Ended up paying $80 for the license and like $25 for a pack of XS energy drink. Lol I think I just ended up drinking them myself.

The final straw was this meeting I attended in a condo just across metrotown. People were telling us how you can make so much money off selling anything you can purchase from their catalogue. When one hick looking dude started talking about selling lobsters of all things I just almost broke out into laughter.

Now that I think back I think only people that fall for these things are young kids straight outta highschool. Last year I had our accountant try and sell my wife and her mom the acai berry speech and I wanted to jump over the table and punch her in the mouth. Instead I texted my girl who was sitting next to me SCAM DONT LISTEN

haha oh god, XS Energy drinks :blueguy: We had an extra on one of our sets trying to hawk this crap to other extras while in the extra holding pen. One of the PAs over heard and mentioned it to me and our producer, I went over and grabbed him by the neck and threw him out and the producer fired him on the spot.

true story, mang! a friend asked if i wanted to work for her, saying i could make crazy amounts of money. she was planning on working hard this year and retiring soon afterwards :haha:.

JSALES 04-27-2010 03:08 PM

it's still possible to be successful in this business though right? just very hard. I have a friend whose parents did this thing a while back and they're already retired and they're in their 30's. I don't know if there success was all from this business though

Yeah I think that's what happened, they started when it was just new

Yuffa 04-27-2010 04:31 PM

Why not be your own Entrepreneur if you are willing to put in the hard work?

Why do you think there are so many different companies doing the same thing? Because there will always be cows like you out there to be milked. Once one name gets too saturated and everyone knows it's a scam.....they'll just start another one selling...uhhh..miracle milk? Damn I much rather be the No.1 guy on the top of MY OWN pyramid.

HAHAHAHAH.. this is my favourite quote from the whole thread!!

mikemhg 04-28-2010 05:14 PM

It's a scam. My buddy tried to get me into that Monavi shit, the Acai Juice.

He preasured hard to join his pyramid, needless to say, we are not friends any longer since I didn't want to hear his bullshit.

You will be trying to sell this crap to friends and family and to get them to join, like someone else said, it's a great way to lose friends :)

mrclean604 04-28-2010 05:19 PM

sucked.....in

El Bastardo 04-28-2010 06:22 PM

This isn't my department but I swear to god that if I see a thread for any of this shit in Revscene Buy & Sell I'll IP ban the seller

This sounds like the USANA Vitamin bullshit my aunt tried to get me into, only with a product that costs even LESS to produce.

AzNightmare 04-29-2010 11:42 AM

I think OP should try to start his own pyramid scam. That way he can acutally
make money from it instead of being a pawn himself. lol

I heard that shit isn't that bad actually, i had one of their protein bars and even though it taste like shit. but for nutrition n shit it's suppose to be decent. it's not that overpriced compared to any other protein bars or meal replacements you find out there supposedly

It's not their products that are the problem, it's the pyramid style "Distributor" network they have. That, and the fact that a lot of their higher execs faked their credentials...

InvisibleSoul 04-29-2010 01:41 PM

Wow, how the hell did I miss this epic thread until now?

Would you rather take the word of all the people here looking out for your best interests, or take the word of all those people pitching the system to you?

What incentive do the people here have to tell you to stay the hell away? None.

What incentive do the people pitching the system have to make you join? They want your money.

They sure aren't doing it for your benefit, that's for DAMN sure.

Who should you believe?
