Hello everyone,
Since a good 6 months, Ive been involved in two programs and the last one is a cash gifting program. Since I've read the canadian law concerning internet job opportunities (mlm, pyramid scheme, etc), I'm not feeling good anymore for marketing my cash gifting program. So I would like to try something else, and I would like to try the programs I thought about some months ago: Abunza or the IPC program.
However, I would like you, people, to read this, this is a part of the law concerning pyramid schemes, from the Competition Bureau of Canada:
"A scheme of pyramid selling is a multi-level marketing plan that incorporates any one of a number of specified marketing practices that make it a criminal offence under the Competition Act.
It is illegal if:
* participants pay money for the right to receive compensation for recruiting new participants;
* a participant is required to buy a specific quantity of products, other than at cost price for the purpose of advertising, before the participant is allowed to join the plan or advance within the plan;
* participants are knowingly sold commercially unreasonable quantities of the product or products (this practice is called inventory loading); or
* participants are not allowed to return products on reasonable commercial terms.
AND
"A scheme of pyramid selling is a form of an MLM plan focussed primarily on generating earnings through recruitment. These schemes may offer products, however the products may have very little value or the plan may offer limited incentives for their sale. Income in the scheme is derived primarily from the money prospective participants pay to join the scheme and not from the sale of product."
So it seems like 80% of work at home opportunities we can find on the net make you do what is specifield in bold characters. I can name some programs that looks like this is what you have to do in bold characters:
The IPC Program, LGN Revolution, Abunza, any matrix programs, cash gifting programs and many more...
With the IPC Program and the LGN Revolution programs, sure you have products with them. Softwares you can buy, so electronic products, thats ok. But let's face it, does the main thing you do with those 2 programs is making money of people who sign-up and not from the products? I think that yes!!! See above again what the canadian law says.
And I think that the american law looks like similar.
Tell me what you think people, I need your thoughts. Because as it is now, that is pretty impossible for me to choose a internet work at home opportunity and I would like so much to work at home and to be successfull at it. What opportunity could I choose?
Thanx in advance for your comments... I think that you never saw a post like this, I looked thru the forum pages, and I couldn't find a topic like that yet. That is a special topic, yes! 
Ooooh, damn, sorry, I think I just posted in the wrong section, that is why I didnt see my kind of post. My appologizes!

I can tell you that cash gifting is illegal. If anyone tells you otherwise, go down to your local police and tell them about your program and see what they say. The BBB in the US says, "Think Bernie Madoff was the last of the investment advisor frauds? The fact is there are many "mini-Madoffs" alive and well � and looking to trap you into their own Ponzi scheme.
The Better Business Bureau found that thousands of "cash gifting" videos are up and running on places like YouTube � promising people that they can make a few extra dollars in this tight economy. Actually, these cash gifting clubs are illegal pyramid schemes � and could cost you thousands of dollars.
These scams usually come in the form of high-yield investment or business opportunities. But use your common sense. If it sounds too good to be true, it always is. "
And many of the MLM companies out there are legal. You won't get into trouble for marketing companies like Xango, Agel, Isagenix, 4Life Research, Xocai, Amway, TriVita, Tupperware, Avon, Pampered Chef....to name a few. Pampered Chef is owned by Warren Buffett's company - Berkshire Hathaway and they would not be buying a scam.
For any company you want to promote ask yourself," Does the company you promote have a real product of value?"

Thanx for you post! This tell me even more about cash gifting. I'm gonna stop this activity right now! I really want to be comfortable in what I wanna do and I really want to enjoy helping other people by doing what I love. As it is now, I would not feel good if I continued to do that activity.
And thanx for telling me some MLM compagnies, I didnt think at all about some that you listed!
But what about the IPC Program, Abunza, LGN Revolution, you certainly know these programs? They are quite popular. What are your thoughts about it (legality pupose)?

Hi Jonathan,
I just joined this forum and I saw your post. I agree with what Joan said. You have to pick a company that gives you products that have value. Cash gifting is definitely not the way to go. Since you mentioned LGN Revolution I will tell you that I am a member of LGN Revolution. I truly believe that we have very good products, which were all updated recently, along with a very big update to the LGN Revolution program itself. We are a totally legal company and our products are valued at thousands of dollars, so a person is definitely getting their money's worth as far as products go. There are many useful ones that I myself use.
Yes it is true that a good part of the money I make is when other people join under me, but the person joining is getting the opportunity to make a lot of money themselves, just like you could, and they get all of the products. Like I said I use a lot of them so I don't feel that they are "worthless" products.
What I really like about LGN Revolution, which is different than any other online business I know of, is that we have an LGN Store where we are allowed to sell the products individually, so that means that if someone is interested in the products, but not the opportunity, they can still buy the products without having to join. I think this is a very good part of our business because it opens up a lot more opportunities for sales. You can resell a lot of the products yourself, wherever you want to, and make money that way.
Another thing I really like about LGN is that there are three different levels to join, so with our economy the way it is, it opens up this business to a lot more people that can afford it.
And the biggest thing that I really like about LGN is that we have people that can call people back for you if they so wish and close sales for you. Of course you could still call people yourself, or if you are someone who doesn't like talking on the phone, as I said we have people that will do that for you.
All in all I truly think that LGN Revolution is one of the best online businesses around. It has everything you could want in an online business and then some.
Feel free to contact me if you would like further information.
Good luck to you in your quest!

If the product is good people will buy it and use it. That is how to build a business and reputation that you can be proud of.

Yeah, for example with Abunza, you buy a library of electronic products. I think that Abunza, among LGN Revolution, the IPC program, and other same kind of programs, etc, is the best of all of them. Of course, the products are electronic products, so... the level of interest will depend of the kind of people who will see those I guess...
I just looked deeply the Abunza program today and it seems like it can be legit here in Canada, according to what I said in my first post above.
What are your thoughts people?
