I got into the Efusion deal early on, i heard about it around may of last year. I heard the pitch several times last year and finally getting talked into it around april or june, I signed up and it was suppose to go into production soon with a release date around the 4th of july. Well that fell thru, and they didnt charge for that month. August rolls around and they are working out the web page and billing issues (mind you they fixed the billing issues) and charge for august, first 135.00, well they push back the product till the first of september. Mind you have I have been pushing this thing on the internet and had a lot of response, people were wanting to see what the deal was and taste the product. It looked like it was going to be a sweet deal until the company dragged booty on me. Im already down 135.00 for august, but they are going to get it to me first of september. Well its mid september and they had made a notice they were holding off charging for september charge util the last week, and then would resume back to charging at the normal time of the month which is around the 5th. So what was happening was everyone that signed up in the very begining was bank rolling the whole company. I heard there was upward of 550+ people had signed up, @ 405 a person thats almost quarter of a million dollars. I told them no thanks and was able to get out and get my money back before recieving anything. I was out clean, but if i had stayed in, i would of had 36 cases of Acia Berry and 405.00 dollars tied in up in a very expensive laxitive. My main way of signing people up was over the internet, since im on the pc 90% of the day, advertise for free on craigslist and a couple of others, answer any questions see if anyone signs up. I didnt want to sign up any friends or family cause I have seen what the cost of that is, if the business goes down the tubes. It did cost me a one friendship, and that was the guy that signed me up cause as he see it, i let him down.

If it's a legitimate product and legitimate company, I have seen people make a ton of money. 20 years ago there was a phone company called Excell that worked on the same premise. I had a buddy in college that signed up "to help a friend". He signed up several people below him that went crazy with the deal. He never pressured me to signed up, and actually laughed about the pyramid scheme......but he would show me the weekly checks he was getting that were in the $5,000 to $15,000 range. That lasted about a year and he made a ton of money. Most are scams, but there are a "few" that make some money........heck, make up you on pyramid scheme and start at the top........I'm thinking about selling Mississippi Delta "Gumbo Mud" to women and spas to put on their face for facials.....it's natural, cleans the pores, and was the method used by women a 100 years ago. Send me $250 and you can get in at the top. Who is in?

I got into one back in college. They were selling 99.99% pure gold coins. 1oz. I bought into it for 400.00. Then I had to sell 10 to get another and so on and so on. For every line below me I got so much a percentage of the sale and it was all paid in the gold coins. It took me about 3 months to sign up the 10 ppl and get the next coin and after that I got another about once a year for 2 or 3 years. Long story short I ended up with 4 coins. I have not gotten another in about 7 or 8 years. I might ought to look into it???? Maybe they owe me a couple and can't find me??? HAHAHAHA

I did not get rich but my 400.00 investement turned into 5oz of pure gold.....

Any of these companies can easily be checked out with AG's office....they must be registered in the state of MS to do business "legally"....if they are legit, they will be on the AG's registry list, and are probably okay, but not guaranteed.
