MLM Blog – Network Marketing Blog

This is why Quixtar chose not to appear on the Dateline NBC story.

Freelife's Dr. Mendell made a bunch of claims about Goji Juice and ended up with his foot in his mouth.

Quixtar's executives would probably look equally as foolish answering direct questions about the system tools business.

Thousands of Canadians are drinking a new product made from a 'miraculous berry', that suggests powerful benefits. Wendy Mesley reveals the real deal behind the new craze and travels to Hollywood to pose questions to the Canadian-born nutritional guru involved.

Here is the CBC investigation of Himalayan Goji Juice - Freelife.

I expect that Goji will get into trouble because of the claims they are making.

MLM Blog gives boths sides of the story...

The rest of the BioPerformance, Inc. story

    Media attention to the announced settlement by the Texas Attorney General in State of Texas vs. BioPerformance, Inc. has unfairly relied exclusively on statements in the AG's press release and video announcement. The settlement was a two-sided agreement between the State of Texas and BioPerformance, yet news sources have not attempted to report on BioPerformance's position - in spite of its simultaneous press release that was circulated nationally.  See attached.

    The news fact that should catch your attention-and something that was provided to the AG during the negotiations, is that only BioPerformance tested the product in vehicles, and only BioPerformance has independent, scientific proof about the product's effectiveness.  See attached.  In spite of false and reckless statements by the AG that the product is worthless and is a "do-nothing" pill, the AG never tested the product in vehicles.  The bottom line is that actual testing, per rigid protocols for the FTP and HFET tests under the EPA's "Motor Vehicle Aftermarket Retrofit Device Evaluation Program", was performed by an independent laboratory, and those tests demonstrate "real improvement in reducing emissions and fuel savings" based on EPA criteria.

    In addition, the AG did not "shut the business down."  In fact, the agreement reached with the Attorney General and signed by the Court expressly authorizes BioPerformance, Inc. to continue marketing its proven product.  Further, BioPerformance, Inc. argued with the AG for the right to use the funds on hand to make refunds to any of its customers who wanted one, regardless of the reason, but the AG insisted on having his name on the refund checks.

    Out of a simple, but fundamental, sense of fairness, is it too much to ask the free press to provide both sides to this 2-sided settlement agreement?

A city councilwoman in the UK was caught reading an Avon catalogue during a council meeting...

blackpooltoday:

"My source has said that during the meeting she spent around 15 to 20 minutes reading the catalogue and making up an order form of items.

"I cannot believe that someone could blatantly sit there through a council meeting ordering her next colour of nail varnish from a catalogue!"

Coun Benson, who represents Greenlands ward, was photographed at last Wednesday's full meeting of the council by an unnamed prospective Conservative local election candidate.

But she today denied missing any of the debate and said she only looked through the brochure during breaks in the proceedings.

Coun Benson said: "I was reading it, but it was either at the beginning of the meeting or during one of the breaks. I was just flicking through.

"Of course I'm interested in what is happening in my town."

A lot of the people who contact me about becoming a Monavie Distributor seem to be suffering from information overload. They have been to half a dozen web sites, spoken with a few distributors, and generally are just having trouble putting it all together.  And it's no surprise - there are 100s of different opportunities out there today to choose from.

"The defendants' dramatic markup on their worthless product, coupled with their downline marketing strategy, indicate they were organizing an elaborate, illegal, and unsustainable pyramid scheme."

BioPerformance ordered to return more than $7 million to victims of pyramid scheme

AUSTIN - Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott today stopped a Dallas-based pyramid scheme from illegally marketing the so-called "top secret gas pill" that it falsely claimed would increase fuel efficiency in automobiles. The Attorney General's settlement with BioPerformance and its owners, Lowell Mims and Gustavo Romero, prevents the defendants from continuing to deceptively market their products and ends the State's eight-month legal action against the company.

See the entire statement about BioPerformance from the Texas Attorney General

This article claims that BioPerformance can no longer market their product. Based on the BioPerformance press release, the company seems to think they will be marketing the product again soon.

The plot thickens. I'm not sure BioPerformance will recover.

KWTX:

A more than $7 million settlement announced Tuesday blocks a Dallas company from marketing a bogus gasoline additive.

Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott sued BioPerformance last May over the drop-in-the-tank pill and powders that experts say falsely were marketed to increase fuel efficiency.

Investigators determined the sales involved a pyramid scheme.

The lawsuit says BioPerformance made money by getting consumers to purchase the pills in bulk, and then sell them to others.

Abbott's office says consumers who were deceived will share the settlement.

"With gasoline prices hitting record highs, these defendants aggressively marketed their worthless product as a wonder-cure,” Abbott said.

“Sadly, these do-nothing pills were merely the tools of an elaborate pyramid scheme that enriched the sellers while buyers were left with empty hands and empty wallets."

The company’s web site promised fuel savings of 25 percent from the pill and indicated BioPerformance had a net income of $25 million since December of 2005.

Scientists at the University of Texas at Austin and at a Florida university tested the product, however, and concluded the pills were mainly comprised of naphthalene, the same chemical found in mothballs, Abbott said after filing the suit earlier this year.

The Attorney General’s laboratory expert concluded the product could actually decrease engine performance.

Consumers who want file a claim for restitution can contact the Texas Attorney General's Office at 1-800-252-8011 or via the Attorney General’s Web site.
