[MLM Survivors Club] Attention: PW or Moderator: Re: Thoughts on Yuwie?

1. You posted a request for information(maybe legit), but posted a
link to YOUR referral page on this site!! Curious!

2. Either you didn't read the fine print or chose to ignore it.
(For both this forum and the site you are referring to).

For anybody else that may think this site is cool - Here are some tips:

a). To get paid, you need to fill a W9 and give them your SSN. I am
pretty paranoid about ID theft, and so should you be. (Giving such
personal info to some random website !!)

b) Read clause 8 of their "Terms of Service". (While you are at it -
read the whole thing if you have the time).

c) Virtually ALL the so called "Ads" on this site are for other MLM or
some such "Get Rich Quick" schemes.

I haven't really spent a lot of time on this, but found the 3 big RED
flags in 5 mins.

FINALLY, PW or moderator - would you do us all a favor by deleting the
referral link as its against the rules of this forum ?

Thanks
Chip
