  Magkunwari na lang muna tayo na never nila ako tinawagan at di nila nadale si Dad.

  If they really were seeking you out, they should’ve done a background check on you first. They could’ve found out that your son was once called late in the night regarding a youth entrepreneurship program at the SAME VENUE.

  So that’s just the fishiest thing, ever. Ano ba talaga ino-offer nila? Ang bomalabs forever ng mga tawag eh.

  And after me writing about the calls, they gather the guts to call my own Mom. Great.

  i have a feeling someone we know is giving away our cellphone numbers. Just the other day while driving, I received the same call, A second later, lauren who was beside me received a similar call. grabe.

• Meeya // Nov 10, 2007 at 8:02 am

  by resorting to this method of “recruiting”, they’ve accomplished nothing but to cast doubt upon their otherwise legitimate product.

  i hope this MO story reaches a lot of people. with all the scams going on right now, we need all the smarts we can get. thanks for sharing, sexymom!

  Grabe rumaket mga yan. Sweetie asked me to accompany him to a few months ago to something similar. We pretended to be bums just working at home and they immediately lost interest in us. You can actually report them to DTI =)

  @noemi – I agree, I think someone’s been giving away our numbers, I’ve been getting weird messages all week and it’s sooo annoying!

• Lazarus // Nov 10, 2007 at 2:25 pm

  if they want to sell, why can’t they do it direct to the point.

  i really had a hard time avoiding an ex-colleague when she invited me to join NuSkin years ago. No, not really avoiding her as a person. just avoiding the topic of MLM.

• KK aka Tina // Nov 10, 2007 at 2:31 pm

  It’s really so funny that he would actually try his trick on a well known blogger. Or is he even aware of you being a blogger? Ano yun? Spam in person?

  Alot of people I know have been scammed. It’s awful that some people can actually stomach to feed their children with money they stole from their victims.

  BTW, I submitted my first ‘installment’ for FilipinaImages.com

  You know what? This also happened to me YESTERDAY. I was at the clinic with a patient when I received that call in my cellphone. I actually can’t understand much of what he’s saying because he seem to talk quick over the “details” and then just slow down when he’s saying buzz words like “job offer”, “expansion”, and “Stanford University”. He mentioned Stanford Univ because I kept asking him what company he’s working for and he answered something gibberish but what I could derive from it is that the company is “affiliated” with Stanford University. Really now? He couldn’t even tell me his name. When I asked him who he was? He muttered something which I couldn’t really understand. Also, I asked where he was able to get my cellphone number and, yes, he also mentioned some headhunter which he also couldn’t recall (sounds eerily familiar). I wasn’t able to talk much because I was with a patient at that time so I just told him if he wanted, he can call me after 15 minutes. He didn’t call back, thank goodness. I already have a suspicion about that call because of what I’ve read in some of the blogs, including Maki’s. Yup, I think we do need to raise an awareness about this kind of recruitment that this company is doing (though I’m not sure if it’s also from the same company as that who called you). I’m thinking of blogging about this already and I’m just looking for the time to do it.

  Any other bloggers out there who had similar experiences?

• Prudence // Nov 10, 2007 at 5:27 pm

  It seems that somebody (a blogger?) is giving away cellphone numbers of bloggers. Hmmm…it’s just that it’s hard to ignore that in the recent days, many bloggers have received similar calls. Something to think about.

• ris // Nov 10, 2007 at 6:18 pm

• Maki Eduardo // Nov 10, 2007 at 10:50 pm

  I get around 10 hits about that Sunday Phonecall regularly but recently there’s been an increasing trend in traffic.

  I actually had a flamewar with a recruiter from Nuskin who turned out to be a batchmate of mine in Ateneo. He was even threatening me of libel but he just doesn’t make sense because I got most of the post from Ana (The networking rant). Maybe he’s been reading my blog because I posted something about reporting to the Dean and the head of our course about this recruitment style luring students like me during that time that the job is an OJT but it turns not to be like that. That batchmate of mine made truce with me (saying that my post has affected their recruitment) but I haven’t seen him yet. If he continued to spam my blog during that time, I would’ve ordered my brother and my cousins who have connections to beat him up..haha, just wishful thinking :p

  Anyways, I hate scams and spammers…and networking will not just work for me. Many people thanked me about posting about it but I think that company hates me like hell..haha

  About my batchmate harassing me, I finally filed a case against him in ADMU.I hope it turns out well. It was well-documented by my blogs and emails anyway.

  He has been harassing me for almost a year already. What the heck are those companies doing to fellow Ateneans? Shame on them!

• tina // Dec 18, 2007 at 10:11 pm

  Hi Tita. I’m also in Network Marketing and I believe those kind of “strategies” don’t work and besides I don’t like deceiving people to think they are getting a job offer. And it’s so sad that those kind of people give Network Marketing a bad light. T_T

  They should not be pushing the business to others who are not interested and whom they “invited” under false pretense. Because it wouldn’t work out well anyway.

  It’s not the business. *cause the business is good* It’s the strategy they use to invite people.

  Do not listen to people who are out there to get you for “money”. And who are out there for commissions lang. Take Care.

• Anon Ymos // Jan 3, 2008 at 10:11 am

  a former classmate of mine also texted and called me about the same company at the 15th floor octagon building, san miguel avenue, ortigas. i thought at first that it was a good offer, because i know the person.

  after our initial conversation, wherein he told me that he was an executive for his company, about their company’s planned expansion in India, and that they were looking for leaders to man their growing client markets. I texted him again, because i just realized i have’nt asked the company name – completely stupid on my part. maybe because i know that person. anyway, he texted me back that he can not reveal the company name as part of the company policy.

  it’s a good thing that i had the insight to research about 15th floor octagon building… before going for my meeting with them at 6:30pm. they did not give me any facts to research, but they did give me the address. so i went with that.

  it’s also unnerving to find out that it has already been going on for a long time.

  but i already had some foresight about the possibility of the company being on networking and sales. that is the only reason i can think of, for them to be this secretive and leading their prospective targets. business-wise, it is shrewd in the positive way. on the other end, its misleading.

  but to be honest, he did say that there were no obligations, or that i can say no after seeing what they were offering.

  maybe their’s is a legitimate business (i hope so, i have a lot of respect for my former classmate) but the company policy of not revealing the company name and their recruitment process, may have to be revisited.

  in the end, i just texted him and said i can not make it because i just realized that i have to focus on what i have right now and wished him well.

  Last night, my wife got a similar call from Ji-an Ongpin (09177961157) offering the same part-time job in 15F Ortigas. At least ive read to all this blogs before she get to dress up this morning and warned her that this job is not for her since she is an Interior Design graduate and the job is not in the field of Interior design as I found out this morning from all the blogs and later through confimation from the caller on what company they belong (NSE PHILIPPINES) (the caller didnt give the specific details of the job and just said to come to 15F Octagon Tower). .
  .. Reading to all those blogs, Ive noticed that the bloggers havent really investigated on HOW THE CALLERS GOT THE CELLPHONE NOS, NAME, AND SCHOOL graduated. be it high school, college or any school. Maybe the bloggers defending the company at the 15F Octagon tower may shed some light on this – -Im not condemning anyone or any company – just want to know how they get it..

  Possible Sources of Information

  A. Yearbook Publishers – This is my primary suspect since Ive read on most blogs that they got the details from the school they graduated. And they knew that the one they are calling are fresh graduates… (Verified with the school that my wife has graduated that the school always asks first of company details before giving out graduated students records and details.

  B. Yearbook itself ?? -

  C. Other Means

  I again solicit information to shed light on how those callers/recruiters got the contact name,school and current details. This maybe a case of leaking privacy information to companies of yearbook publishers IF THIS IS ONE OF THE CULPRITS

• jessie hernandez // Jan 18, 2008 at 5:01 pm

  i am an ECE student in PUP and i want to share to you my experience about “part-time job” scam of some company.
  last night (january 17, 2007) a man named kent abarico (mobile # 09063104440) called me and told me that he was a representative of a “multinational company” (what a BIG WORD—MULTINATIONAL). he told me that they are hiring part time students to join their company NSE INTERNATIONAL which is said to be at the 15th floor of octagon building in pasig city (he told me that it’s just near mega mall). he also told me flattering words “ms.blablabla referred you to me and said that you are intelligent, competitive and hard working” and so our company is interested blablabla. the work description was human resource development consultancy. (i don’t even know what type of job it is) since i was curious about that fishy thing, i surf the net about nse international and i found several blogs that cleared my mind on how this scam goes. it was more like convincing me to go there and get involved in some st*p*d activity which their company is trying to put in. you’ll go there, then they will ask you to give at least 300 contacts (additional persons to be scammed) and you’ll do the same thing that they do SCAM PEOPLE. thankfully, i have read blogs in the net about the same thing so i decided not to go there and not to entertain calls or text from kent abarico (mobile # 09063104440). learn from the experience of others so that like me, you won’t be into same kind of scam stuffs.

• robert tracy // Feb 12, 2008 at 10:18 am

  I perfectly understand from where all of you guys are coming from. Let me just clarify, it is not company policy that our members won’t mention a company name, we do mention our name…which is NSE Philippines and we do have divisions within the company, and we have an option to mention that instead. Yes, it is a marketing strategy much like what traditional businesses do when they think it’s more appropriate. It isn’t misrepresentation, it is just allowing people to have a chance to look at the whole business opportunity package, free from UNFOUNDED/MISGUIDED/INCOMPLETE pre-conceptions about the company from a minority. We always reiterate that the opportunity IS NOT FOR EVERYONE. I myself was very negative about network marketing before I joined, but thanks to their strategy, I was given a chance to SEE THE WHOLE PICTURE. Only people who are unsure of themselves would avoid looking at all facets before making conclusions. The OJT thing or job offer script is NOT a company policy, what we offer is mainly a Business Opportunity that’s why we stress and ask, in the first place, if one is OPEN to EXPLORE OTHER POSIBILITIES. Because, if the answer the answer is NO, an appointment would NOT be insisted. But most Filipinos kasi say YES when actually they mean NO or NOT SURE. Nevertheless, granted that you gave into the appointment. Definitely, the presentation IS NOT entirely a waste of time. All data are backed up by credible research institutions which, of course, I can’t mention here. Moreso, at the end of it, NO ONE is COERCED to do something HE DOES NOT WANT TO DO. It is entirely UP TO YOU. Parang pag nag-aapply ka rin ng job. Pag punta mo ba ng company, sure ka ba na you really want to join it before going there? Di ba most often than not, you’ll know more about the company when you’re already there and then, you will be in a BETTER POSITION of deciding wether you’ll join the company or not. Ganun rin sa min, we want to give people a chance to hear our side first before they decide. For those of you who opted not to look at it. I dare you to take a chance, look at the opportunity and aftewards, tell me if you already knew beforehand most of what you’ll hear/see. Most likely, at least 80% of the info. you’ll get would be new to you. I guess you can trust yourself to make intelligent decisions afterwards…or can’t you?

• Prudence // Feb 12, 2008 at 8:03 pm

  to robert tracy:

  You left the same comment in my blog post. And it seems that you’ve particularly worded the comment to be copy-pasted in every blog you find that speak about this questionable recruitment strategy that some MLM companies have been employing. I suggest that next time, write more appropriate comments by reading the post first before submitting your comment. And go get your own blog.

• robert tracy // Feb 13, 2008 at 8:58 am

  Well, prudence, thanks for the advice. You may deduce that I’m doing some DAMAGE CONTROL because your blog and a host of others are quite affecting our business. And it is unfair that you say you’re doing information networking AGAINST (?) a very LEGITIMATE business such as network marketing. (Note that our company is very different from the pyramid scams that have ceased to exist after a couple of years in operation.) If you’re not interested in it, we respect that. Again, the business is not for everyone. But please, keep it to yourselves so that others who are more open-minded would be given a chance to decide for themselves and not with your BIASES. The bottomline is business ethics. We are NOT doing anything ILLEGAL. Be prudent.

• Prudence // Feb 13, 2008 at 10:08 pm

  to robert tracy:

  Your choice of words is particularly interesting…damage control.

  You do not tell bloggers who have had experience with some MLM companies trying to recruit them to shut up. You face the issues being raised. Having received a lot of comments from those who’re from MLM companies, I’m yet to encounter a comment which confronted the issue head on. Most had resorted to focusing on the anti-MLM sentiments and not on the anti-questionable recruitment strategy being employed by SOME MLM companies. If you’ve been reading carefully (and this has been repeated by several bloggers who have already posted about this), nobody’s questioning the legitimacy of your businesses. We are questioning the METHOD by which you RECRUIT potential members.

  Damages should not be controlled, rather the mistakes should be corrected. Make sure first that your employees do not employ questionable recruitment practices instead of advising bloggers to shut up about their experiences.

  A gay/guy named Harold Laxinto called me and said this line (i can clearly remember his line)”I got your number through our database from your” (my former school)at first he insisted that it was a part time job & asked me “what year are you now?” “i answered him i just graduated from college”… with his following words of “oh! that’s good,that’s good, what course?” he asked, so i answered him “management with entrepreneurial focus”, “you are the one we are looking and this company really fits your course”, he added, this multinational company is an American based company and is now hiring applicants, i asked him “what position?” he answered, “for now i cannot give you an exact position because it is a big company is really in need of hiring a lot of employees.” he also told me of the salary ranging from Php 15,000-20,000. and asked me “are you interested with our company”? i answered “can i think about it first?” then followed with “ok! in case that you are interested with our company you can contact me at 0915-3671160 and i can meet you in Ortigas.

  I WARNED YOU GUYS DON’T BE DECEIVE BY THEIR FLOWERY WORDS OF PROMISING YOU TO HAVE A SALARY OF THIS AMOUNT OR SOMETHING YOU CAN EARN AS MUSH AS THIS AMOUNT… THIS IS A NETWORKING!!!

  I was invited 4 times already. I’ve read these blogs on the 3rd time, so I declined. But when I’ve got the 4th invitation, I was so curious. So I decided to take a look. Well the presentation is not bad, it is actually inspiring. It is something that we have to hear. But then I thought,will I waste my UP education for this? Well it is worth my time. I’ve nothing to lose. I tried it. And now.. Am I victimizing people? NO. Am I earning money from a scam? Absolutely NO. I’m a UP Law Student. I know what’s a scam or what’s not.

  For those who are saying that this is a scam, join us, and do a thorough investigation,find evidences that will say that the company is a scam. Well that’s basically what I did – but it was a failure. So I’m challenging you… Find the TRUTH.

• kawaii // Apr 11, 2008 at 6:03 pm

  I, too, just recently had this experience and I agree with everybody who say that the methods employed by this company are dubious. True, they may be a legitimate company, but their recruitment methods are highly suspicious, most particularly, the manner in which they acquired our names and numbers. I personally feel that my privacy has been breached by members of this company who cannot even specify properly as to how they acquired information about us. To any members of these companies blatantly attacked by bloggers all around this information highway, you should be ashamed.

• celyn // Apr 13, 2008 at 7:33 pm

  well, i never really knew the company until someone called me on my phone just this day. Well, she was direct in telling me that I was referred by my college friend and the name of the company. I sensed something fishy because of being “secretive” so after the call ended, I googled the company’s name at once.

  BTW, I’ve read in a forum that they use a “script” when calling to people. I guess that’s true because some things that you’ve written about your conversation were the same as mine.

  And though I set an appointment with her (my friend would be with me), I made a decision not to join probably because I won’t be able to sell ecpensive products. I don’t know rich people who are willing to shell 600 or 800 pesos for a toothpaste.
  Think of our economy.

• celyn // Apr 13, 2008 at 7:38 pm

  I just receive the same call awhile ago.
  The words are almost exactly as what the topmost part of this page says.

  During the call I told him that I am coming because he said that I was referred by my batch mate from college.

  I try to contact the person he used to confirm it, but I don’t know if he still uses the same phone number.

  Good thing I try to search for the name of the one who call me. c”,)

  Should I still text him that I am not going anymore?

• Ungaz // Apr 26, 2008 at 8:36 am

  I look for the contacts of my schoolmate back in college to know if he knows the guy.

  I found out that he really know the guy and they really are going to meet. But I found out that the business is to sell their product. That’s why I just told them that I’m not interested.

  I can’t even sell anything in my own business that is why I have people selling computers for me. c”,)

  BTW, if you have computer needs, visit my shop at shoppesville greenhills.

• scamwarner // Apr 27, 2008 at 11:52 am

  Way back in college, I was invited by one of my schoolmates who happen to have been fooled (and hoping to fool me as well) to join into one of these “Business Opportunity” (as the victims love to call it). The venue was also somewhere in Ortigas. If my memory serves me right, they referred to the meeting as BOM, perhaps meaning Business Opportunity Meeting, I didn’t bother asking or they may have mentioned it while I wasn’t paying attention. Out of curiosity I agreed to attend the meeting, he pays for the transportation expenses after all. The speakers arrived in luxury vehicles, Mustang, Jaguar, expensively setup Ford Expedition, BMW, Mercedes… you name it and it is there. It looked to me like it is part of their strategy to have all the newcomers standing outside to witness the arrival of those expensive cars while all those people who have been fooled in the preceding meetings are already lined up at the cashier’s window inside the office. When we were asked to get inside and take a seat, the speakers took turn upstage telling everyone how expensive their cars are, most of them boring. I still remember that guy boasting that the hub caps of his Expedition is more expensive than the whole house of middle class family. The main speaker took the stage and began to crack jokes that got everyone laughing. The guy was so funny that he could have made a good job as a standup comedian in one of Allan K’s comedy bar. The meeting was fun but not fun enough to convince me to join. The subject of his speech was to earn an overwhelming income without selling anything. All that needs to be done is invest PHP1xxxx and convince two other people to do the same. Sounds easy, if everyone on Earth is a moron. The speaker said we could buy ourselves a European car in less than 4 months or much shorter if we just need a Japanese brand. When the meeting was over, the victims who had just given their money to cashier would approach the new attendees (fraction of which is a bunch of “would be victims”) and gave their best shot of deception. Finally, I left the building with my schoolmate (a.k.a. recruiter) as he would endlessly convince me to join. For many times I just said, “Let me think” when what I really wanted to say was “Go to India and learn how to hypnotize people”. He used to say, “I am going to buy a Honda in 2 months time and buy my dream Jaguar a few months later”. I was 3rd in college and when I graduated more than 2 years later, he was still riding the public transport.

  Recently, I was called by this guy named dandee de guzman, same guy mentioned previously in this blog site. Looks hard to me this time because I heard that this guy, dandee, is going to make you sell some stuff. Whatever it is, I bet it is going to be an overpriced stuff, like that toothpaste for PHP800 mentioned by another blogger earlier. I know several people who have fallen victims to this scam. It is going to waste your money, time and at worst your life.

  wow. hi sexy mom! was it just a co-incidence that your surname is my middle name? hmm.. anyway.. good thing i’ve read your post.. thanks. i got the same phone call. a caller named “ANA VICTORIA” called me last wed. (8/20/08) and told me the same stuffs about a so-called “meeting/appointment” at 15/F Ocatgon Center, San Miguel Ave. Ortigas. she talked so fast that I was not able to understand even the name of their company. and so i texted her and asked for the infos again and requirements. she replied, “NS ENTERPRISES, just bring a valid id.” that’s it. WTF?? a recruitment process without even requiring pertinent papers. that’s when i decided to surf the net and research about their “company” profile. and this is where i landed. thank you so much. and thank God i “googled”. LOL

  She said the same thing about healthcare biophotonic. tsk tsk..bad idea for them to fool us! the meeting was supposed to be tomorrow (monday) at 330pm also!

• anonbabe // Oct 3, 2009 at 3:16 pm

  thanks miss dine for sharing this…i used to be a member of this mlm company…i signed up, paid the P12.6k and gave my 300 namelist..the upline will teach you “to deceive” people with the use of “the script”…they will call your namelist and show you how to “do it”…pero i dont want to use the “script” to deceive people para lang pumunta sa venue…before kasi when i was invited, the caller(my upline) told me that they are offering franchise seminars for free, so nagpunta ako and i got carried away by the “video” that they showed. kaso hindi ko kayang magsinungaling at magconceal ng info pag tinatanong na ako so i decided to do the alternative method to earn back my hard earned P12.6k…and resorted to direct selling. i invited my friends to try the products for free…i had customers, and eventually had downlines na din. what made me quit was the realization na hindi ako kikita ng malaki sa direct selling alone, the products were really good but they were really expensive, kikita ka kung magrerecruit ka kasi you will earn P2.5k for every recruit….kaya yung iba, kahit magsinungaling na lang basta makarecruit lang…i hate that…with all honesty, i still use their products, the company is legit, but the recruitment strategy is 100% deceiving…

  thank goodness for google. i received a call too. just this morning. but it was short, compliment-free and clearly random call. i was being invited to attend a leadership training by someone who’s working for a company called NSI. never heard of it so i tried to google that but it just came up with 0 results. so i searched for the office address they gave me instead; 15th floor, octagon bldg., san miguel ave., ortigas center. and that’s where i chanced upon these fascinating blogs of awareness (even the blogs that doesn’t say its a scam). i sent a message to the person that invited me that i am canceling my appointment because i’d be really pissed if i’d go there in my business attire and then ask me pay them 12,000 PhP, gosh, the hassle.

He told me he is working as business management for US company. After a few chats he gave his name and number.. he seems trustworthy so I also gave my name and number. A few more chitchats then I have to go. He said he is going to call later this week if his company have part time projects available for me. It sounded good.
  I received his call sooner than expected. He called this afternoon.
  The rest of the story is just like a template. Same company (this time its in Alabang), same description (he said I come highly recommended…. how about that?).

  Thanks a lot Sexy Mom.

• T // Jun 25, 2010 at 2:54 am

  Hi, I just came across your blog entry and so many other similar ones from other people. I got a call too. The caller is a certain Ms Flores. This time the company is called “something Global something”. I really couldn’t make out the words because it was just over the phone and it was kind of choppy. She said they are a US-based company looking for trainees for an “entrepreneurship program.” She sounded really professional and legitimate, and I was kind of interested already. She asked me to go to their office this Friday (which is tomorrow) at 3pm for an in-depth orientation because it’s hard to discuss the program over the phone. She gave me this address: 15th Floor Teleperformance Tower, San Miguel Avenue, Pasig City. Then she goes on saying that this is non-committal but she expects me to be professional and that I won’t make last-minute cancellations.

  I Googled right away after that. I typed the address in the search engine but I didn’t get a single thing about this “something Global” US-based company. I mean, I would expect them to at least have a website, given that they are a US-based company. Heck, even small local companies have their own websites! At my 1st try, I wasn’t able to get much and I was attending to other things so I put it off. Then today I decided to Google them again, and I came across all these blog entries. It’s really scary how all these stories match with my experience. I panicked and told a friend whom I was chatting with at the time. Surprisingly, he was called too before by the same person (this Ms Flores)! But in his case, the company’s name was Pharmanex. And it’s also at the 15th floor of the Octagon building in San Miguel Ave (same as the Teleperformance Tower; ha says there’s a huge Teleperformance sign on the buiding). He actually went, and he said that they’ll entice you to join their networking thing. He said their enticing is actually good. But he didn’t join. He advised me not to go.

  My meeting with them is tomorrow. It’s a really really good thing that I decided to research again and I was able to talk with my friend.

  Thanks for sharing!

• gosh // Jul 24, 2010 at 4:56 pm

• ambot // Aug 20, 2010 at 11:34 am

  nakakatawa, lahat may opinyon. Anyway, nakaattend na din ako ng orientation nila last week lang, SO FRESH. it really made sense and i searched for facts kasi sabi nila they were included in the NYSE (New York Stock Exchange), and they were nga. Latest is the Forbes.com which revealed they are top5 sa mga 100 most stable companies. Stuffs like that. And when they called me, they told me its a business nga not a JOB. hehe good for me kasi basta business game ako.

  But in the end, i was just not interested. But it did not hurt on my part coz they did not force me to join or what. Besides, the one who invited me was really professional and i can see her sincerity na they are looking for serious people. It’s for everybody nga daw.

  Curiosity doesnt always kill the cat. Siguro sa inyo yung nag invite sa inyo hindi maganda yung way. Kanya kanyang experience nga. As for me, i had fun naman. but now is not the right time for me.

  people, hi! i know nu skin maybe not that really honest in their tactics, but i think its a good company. Why? because my sister earns 2M to 3M per month. that’s per MONTH, and she only worked there for only lyk 3 years. Yup, its networking, but my sister said its the greatest networking company ever built. No scams and legally registered. They even beat Apple and microsoft to win the stevie’s award if I heard it correctly. Go to forbes website, theyre also on top. So amazing.

• anna // Oct 17, 2010 at 5:37 pm

  i decided to search here. so glad to come across your post! thank you so much! really appreciate this. =) godbless

• 7ghost // Jun 7, 2011 at 8:41 am

  I got the same phone call yesterday I think the company lives to its reputation but I what I really don’t like is their tactics is this the same strategy to hire agents/sellers or whatever you call it abroad??? or its just plain filipino tactics na “panggugulang”… I know some people here are earning from this company but sorry my field is different I have my own way of doing things

• luis // Jun 22, 2011 at 1:02 am

  It’s good to hear all the opinions of alot of people here. Nu Skin is one of the best (if no the best) companies compared to other networking/MLM businesses I have attended. They are not hiring, they are just inviting people who would like to have a very good business. Of course it’s not for everybody. Kaya nga madaming negative inputs dito because they haven’t seen the whole picture. Just a suggestion to everyone who declined the invitation, why not see the business presentation first and then pour all your hearts out (whether positive/negative) in every blog possible. In that way the saying of “TO SEE IS TO BELIEVE” would make sense. Hindi yung to read a blog comment is to believe. Well, this is just my opinion fellas (and my 1st and last post). It’s your choice to accept the invitation or not. It is also your choice to entertain negative thoughts to your mind or a positive mindset. By the way, the way you think would affect your health. Peace out! God bless :>

• Natsu Dragneel // Jan 14, 2012 at 12:29 am

  @Jayu Not trying to make enemies here or anything but i would have to disagree with what Jayu posted. Reading the site that Jayu posted that company was only making money through recruiting. The money from network marketing must also come from sales thus the word “MARKETING”

  In my own opinion I think Luis might be righ. I attended the presentation of NuSkin. It is a good business model kinda like franchise but with people and smaller capital of 12,600Php for products that you will use yourself. I decided not to join because I already have my own business to take care of.(I still buy their body scrub though best thing i ever bought hehehehe ^_^)

  Also for those distributors who trick people by saying you have a job opportunity when your just trying to invite them in you MLM you should really change your ways before you destroy your reputation as well as the company’s.
