Stay away and do yourself a favor They are pyramid schemes EVEN if they have something to sell or gain. Do you ask "lower" sellers to pay you arbitrary fees (for being allowed to sell or just for some puny benefit?) and you pay some "upwards"? Is your whole "profit" fought by that arbitrary fee you yourself must pay? Does most of the money seem to go in this up-down line instead of going off to buy you that cute little "product" you pay for every month. Its a pyramid scheme (no matter what includes you in the club) if it takes more gambling up-and-down than for paying for the "product". [At any rate, the previous posting was obviously an advertisement for someone' [ business, and thus an illegitimate use of USENET. Amen.
