It is a MLM. Enough said?
Also Jack Weinzierl is a major player. He of Advantage Conferences fame.
Birds of a feather flock together.

I should add something nobody has mentioned yet: I've gotten a number of
pieces of spam advertising Yuwie. I can't remember if it's just
run-of-the-mill spam or spam sent specifically to this group (which
gets a lot of spam because of the letters MLM in the group name).

I don't post much here, but this really made me have to say something.
While it may not be an MLM, it can't be a good organization if they're
using a proxy server.
[all MLMs are bad companies but not all bad companies are MLMs]
And I would have to be tortured into typing my SS# into a website.
Really. This may be legit, but as someone who deals with lots of
malware and keeps up on internet security issues, I have to ask -
why would ANYONE supply an SS# on the internet?
Their payrates have to be really really low.
I have belonged to a site called MyPoints for years. I earn points
for clicking on links they email me, which can be redeemed for gift
cards etc. I have never had to give them my SS#. And it takes months
and months to earn enough points for a $25 gas card. I have a
dedicated email addy for their mail to isolate partner spam.
Anyhow, Yuwie seems like a marketing site, not a social networking
site. Merchants will be paying for access to members. Now, it's the
same thing they do over at MyPoints, but there, they are up front
about what you are signing up for.
Please please don't download any software from them. I'm pretty
certain it would be spyware.
And good luck.

Yep, that's how it feels.
Glad you lost nothing in it.

Vemma is health food drinks... very expensive (way over priced) and
they make lots of health claims about cures of all kinds of ailments.
It's just like the other MLM's out there... don't waste your time or
money.
