People who dont work ### to much
I just have to say that it is no surprize that there are people out there who cant handle working a program that truly offers a way to make an income that will surpass what anyone would pay you in a traditional job. Most people I meet that think this or any other program is a scam is because you actually have to work! These are the same people who make less that $10 an hour, take long lunch hours, cheat there boss of the time that they get paid, call in sick and will never do anything to go forward in there lives. They will instead sit at there desk and dream of getting married to someone who will make tons of money and save them from there poor pittiful lives. Well That truly NEVER Happens!
Every business needs customers, every business has the right to pay those who do more for them, they also have every right to market products Via through go getters so they will not have to pay people to sit on there ###'s and not do anything for the company just so they can have a pay check. I have got news for everyone, direct marketing is our future! Companies can no longer afford to pay idiots to work for them with all of the health care bull and tax problems. This is truly the way for those who want to have a real pay check coming in and have a life to go share. I have lost more money in the stock market than I ever have in a business deal such as this.
If you think that joining a company and sitting on your butt to see if it works is how to measure its value then I would imagine you are the same people who ownes an exercise video and equipment and thinks that watching it sit in the corner is how to loose weight!
Nothing in life happens without getting off of your butts and making it happen!
Obviously the goverment would have shut them down many many years ago had they seen any questions regarding there business habits.
So the truth for all of you who have nothing better to do that to ### about the truth as to why you did not make money which is you just did not put out any effort, is to get off of your missinformed butts and see that you are truly the problem, not the company.

Unauthorized charges
I got a phone service trough a local dealer.They told me that they will send the router pack and i will be charged 45$ including shipping and monthly bill has to be 23 dolars.
I didnt set the equipment and change my ming because they charge me 30 dolars for a month and when i called they told me that i sign up for a 1 year contract and there is a 39 dollars termination fee, but the agent didnt mention that only i can cancel anytime. First of all i didnt sign any paperwork otherwise i will know that its not good deal for me. Every service has to have a short period of canceling or charge some restocking fee not this one that cost me 117 dollars.

We ended up having the phone with them but then they started to charge me for internet aswell.. from day one i told them i wasn;t gonna pay my bill as i was beign charged for no reason. after trying to talk to supervisor and being yell and harrassed on the phone they send me a debt collector..

Under stand ACN system. It works, has changed many lives. If it was a scam then why they are in 23 countries? Why all the big companies are with ACN?
ACN has one of the WORST customer service I ever experienced. I am so sorry I got some friends and family invoved in this. Hey, I guess sometime we have to learn the hard way, right?
ACN is a cluster. Getting started was a nightmare, as I was advised by my upline to order this, cancel it three weeks later, but order this and this, and cancel that -- all to get seven stupid points? For what? Why in the hell would they lay such a ridiculous qualification process on us AFTER we've already forked over $500? It's ludicrous! The video phone arrived, but I wasn't home for all three attempts at delivery, so the phone went back to the warehouse and my account was billed another $200.00. Which reminds. DO NOT give out your account information to these hacks. if you are unable to play the game just right, you'll see ACN withdrawals, and a few other surprise withdrawals from unknown sources.
No. Steer clear of ACN. There has to be a better way to invest $1000.00. I could've put that money toward something useful, like gold and silver.
not a good Phone?
I'm a little unhappy hearing that there are pushy people in ACN, but you'll find that anywhere you go, from 90% of the sales people.
I've been with them since Oct. and will say in this economy, it's not ez to sign people up, but the Company has done nothing but help me in anyway they can, to honor their products and services.
Just don't rush into anything, thinking your going to make a million dollars the first week. Its selling, person to person job. But each member helps each other to get you to sell acn's products.Because it helps you, for others to make money also.
And about the phone serice, ever TRY to work with EMBARQ.you'll have fun there, or some of the people at Verizon.

Stay away!
Acn preys on people looking for a business opportunity. They pimp members (without representing them) to gain customers, knowing that the work procedure is designed for the member to fail leaving Acn with customers that was left with company when member is no longer a member. I am surprise the company is still running. I call this predator practice. They...

pyramid schemes seldom have good stuff to offer. If they do it's always super overpriced, and then they'll try to convince you that the extra money is justified by superior quality. To be honest, I find all products in the states to be pretty much standard across the board in terms of quality control. I'm thinking the extra money goes mostly to supporting their wildly inefficient pyramid structure. If everyone's getting paid, it must come from somewhere, right?
I've got a friend using ACN. The phone and service is terrible.
As far as I'm concerned, all pyramid schemes are a way for the average joe to plug-in to their entrepreneurial aspirations. As far as this goes, that's perfectly fine. What's not ok is that, well, they're a pyramid.
We live deep in the country, and when I was told that the Digital Video phone was so amazing that you can see your grandparent 100s of miles away that all you needed to do was buy 2 of these Iris phones.. You did need High speed enternet. I have that, I paid for 2 phone's and when I wanted to get the first phone to work we found problem after problem and called Customer service and talked to Techs etc... That was a year ago, I also tried to stop the service ! NO they where rude and told me it was not even in my name etc .. they where totaly giving me the run around. I let it go for a while thinking maybe I can get it to work and I dropped my house phone because it was ridiculus to pay $50 a month for one phone and $50 a month for a house phone! I NEVER Got this thing to work at all ! It would turn on sure, I sent it home with another rep to make sure it worked, sure it worked with other people's service - just not out in the Hicks where I live with my Radio broadband... Now if they had told me that it would just not work with some services I would have never got it... SO I have paid over $600 out of my Checking account Debit card for a year now, I finaly went into my account and changed the Date of Experation and now they cant bill me, I called them and told them I wanted them to turn the service off that they had STOLEN $600 of my hard earned dollars - and they tell me I cant because there is a 2 year service aggreement - I told them " You Cannot Charge me for services YOU NEVER PREFORMED ! I REFUSE to pay anymore and I want to be refunded what I put into this" . So far that has not helped, they also said that I never tried to have a Tech support - BS- they will try anything to scam you out of your money with NO Concern who they are hurting .. Its obvious to me that ACN is a Money hungry Bully !
Mrs. Gray, In the country of California
Please don't get involved!
Thinking I could help out my parents and make some commission of my own, I fell into this trap of ACN where a "friend" recruited me. I drive to Orange county thinking it was going to be a formal interview and all for the job. Turned out to be one big meeting with a notepad and a video with Donald Trump. Being a business student I thought this would be a great opportunity, especially with Trump being a bit of inspiration. After the movie they ask you a question if you are skeptical or not, pretty much. But the friend reassures you that everything is great that they are planning on getting a beamer in the next 3 months. They pushed and pushed me. Asked for a one time fee of 499 dollars. Everything was just a blur. On top of the 500 bux, the rep signed me up with 2 accounts, one supposedly for a demo the other being for my personal use. Making that completely expensive, they said it would be 25 bucks a month. No. Turns out I was charged 43 for both accounts. ON top of my two accounts, I signed up for my landline in which they said would be 25 dollars per month as well. I filled out a form, and knew that the landline was in honor of my stepfather. I told them I had to go to work, that I filled out most of it but got freaked out by the signature. I didn't sign it, I told them I'll be back tomorrow and left. While they are sitting there questioning me why i have to go to work in which this will only take another 5 minutes on top of 3 hours I had already spent there. On my drive back to LA it dawned on me that I need to cancel.
As soon as I got home I immediately called ACN and asked to delete my representative account. I was able to get my 499 back. With my "friend" calling me every day to make a meeting to sign and all that jazz. Thinking everything was over. IT wasn't And to this day still isn't. (It's been 3 months). At the end of that month, I was charged for both of my accounts 43 each and of the VOIP boxes total of 80 for the voip boxes. In which they said would be 10 dollars each. My stepfather also received a bill himself, and I thought how was that possible I never signed the application and never went back. My mother calls the company to cancel the landline account saying that none of us ever authorized it. But they said they had a "voice recording" of me when I was cancelling my account on the phone. They threatened to take me into court for forgery. We asked for them to fax the application and it was signed. I think out of all people I would know how to forge my own parents names (especially for those old high school absent notes) but this signature was not anything close to what his signature really looks like proved that someone forged his signature and processed it. I threatened the company back that I told them not to process the app and that I never signed, but since all the print was in my writing they said I had no proof and was still forgery.
The company called my cell phone saying that I must call them so that they could further with the lawsuit. I heard the message and thought F**K them I don't have to call back or listen to them. They never called me back after the message. (thank goodness)
Thinking that my mother successfully cancelled the landline, I receive the ACN bill that my stepfather handed to me for 93 dollars for a course of 3 months, yesterday. I'm not sure if he paid the first bill. Anyways, I just now paid for the bill, and I'm really skeptical in calling the company for cancelling the account after they threatened me for a lawsuit. But my parents insist that I take care of everything. It's just so horrible. But for revenge, I suppose not really must justice was received, ACN demanded for their VOIP boxes back from me and offered a refund. I just sold them on EBAY, i got half of what i paid but ACN won't get their products back from me. ACN will fool you and take you down with them. Please don't get involved.
Alright, I would like to say that to the Anonymous person telling me that I will never make it in life. Don't ever say that to a person. I am pretty sure that I am way younger than you. In fact I'm 21 years old and a branch manager at a consulting firm. Apparently, I never needed ACN. To those who are thinking of going on board of ACN, DON'T, you DO NOT NEED ACN. Besides, when have you ever heard about ACN's services, besides the times when some ### like Ken Powell pops out of the bushes 'selling/scamming' to you their services?
Ken Powell, you are just an ###, I'm glad to see that you are doing well with ACN but at the same time, you sound like you are really frustrated and butt-hurt about your company. All of the sales representatives who have opposed against this posting sounds recognizably incompetent. With your rudeness and taunts, don't treat people like that. People don't deserve to be treated poorly and, ultimately, they don't deserve to be ripped off.
Following up after 2 years from this posting, I would like to say I never heard back from ACN, for those of you who are curious. Thanks to those of you who listened, I wish you all the best.
Cheers!

All the services acn provide is wayyy expensive then any of the other competitor in the market.. From energy to phone contracts and everything in between.
Stay away from these demonic bunch
I was using home Internet and home phone service provided by ACN, recommended by a friend who's a ACN rep.
I was paying $ 70+ for 3Mbits internet speed and home phone service, not to mention that internet often got disconnected and extremely slow during peak hours, and it was in a 2-year contract. At the end of the contract period, I got deal for 55Mbits for $29.99 per month with Comcast, with no contract!
When I complained the Internet speed to ACN sales rep, first thing they said was "you can cancel the contract by paying $30", and the next sentence was "Will that be all for today then?". I was shocked that they didn't even mention about their service, and all they care is to charge money for whatever they can charge for. For all the sales rep, please don't sell this garbage to your friends! For all the people who are considering using ACN service, please think twice! do you really want to get service from companies that don't care about the service they provide, and all they care is charging you unreasonable price! As far as I know now, all the service "provided" by ACN is actually companies we can purchase plans directly, like AT&T. ACN is directly using AT&T's service, just charging you as the third party. They got rip off like I did before!
I've been with ACN for two years and I make money. It's none of anyone's business as to how much I make & it's against the law for me to tell you how much I make, but rest assured, ACN is a great additional stream of income for my family. I get so tired of people complaining about this company when they don't do the work. Why do people think they are going to make any money at all if they don't do the work? Building residual income takes time and effort, it doesn't magically fall into your lap. ACN is not a get rich quick scheme. Do your homework and properly educate yourselves. Google is not a research engine, anyone can write anything they want on the internet and it doesn't mean it's true. The company and the products are the same for all of us, but do vary from country to country. So answer this - "Why are some making 6 & 7 figures and others make nothing?" We all paid the same $499. The difference in the equation is YOU. So please get over yourselves saying ACN is a scam or a pyramid. If you knew anything about pyramid schemes you would know that they only involve money. Educate yourself. Also, think about this...isn't every corporation and government structured like a pyramid? ACN has changed my family's life and continues to do so because I do the work it takes to be successful. Don't believe what you read...why would 25 countries open their doors to them to do business? The answer is because each government entity did the proper research of this wonderful company. I'm sorry to those of you who lost out on an outstanding opportunity because you believe the negative junk the world and google fills your head with. I would be happy to work with anyone of you because it is my job to make sure you are successful. Oh, and by the way...a sponsor makes NO money when someone joins our company. The $499 is used to build your storefront, customer service, billing, etc. The only things I am responsible to do are acquire customers and build a successful team. Notice I said successful...I can't help those who aren't coachable or those who don't want to put in the time and effort.
Thank you. There is no end to those yahoos that think by signing up they will make money but not have to work for it. The YOU is the indispensable key to success. What you DO is the key.
Dear beloved people.
Today I cancelled the service they after 5 years with them. 1. The charge extra with out notification and increase the cost without your say. 2. The cancell all the feature for the phone.3. It keep discounted all the time for days. 4 very very slow. 5. To transfer your number back paid 14.99 is a fee to a contract, I do not have contract. It is the way to get money. 6. The internet you have physically call them.7. If you paid the bill and cancell then your money gone because the billing circle 22 and cancel on the 6 your money there's. if you understand that is the top stealing. And the customer service rude. Anyone want to go to this company watch out is not worth it.
Whoever doesn't make money in this is merely a reflection of their own work ethic.
It seems like it's more of a reflection of their ethics period.
I'm with a successful multi marketing company and I've been active for four and one half years. My gross income last year was $431, 000.00. After taxes and business expenses net income was $307, 000.00. My wife loves me even more than before and she just loves her new Mercedes Sportster. She also loved the little chartered flight we took to Hawaii last month. The weather was just great! She's in the process of deciding which new house she likes the most. Just thought all the negative people should know.
I was scammed by ACN! The Girl talked me into it, when I tried to get out she kept asking me for my Friends and contacts! Yeah Right! Im loyal to my Friends F**K ACN! They kept charging my Amex card! WTH? People! Just remember 1 thing! If a company wants you to work for them! You should not have to give them money! Its just a Legal? SCAM!
I have been trying to get email address to complain dept.

After completing the cancellation and returning the products and paying the last bill and all the documents of proof of canceling the service, constantly the invoices are being submitted and sent to the collections agency.

Hmmm...guilting. bullying and pressuring people in to signing up for electrical services all because the rep "needs one more" client.?! "Thanks so much for doing this for me and the 17 million hungry children here in USA." When I respectfully declined to sign up for electrical services, I was told that "I just do not get it". And it was inferred that by not doing so this person may not refer me business anymore when I was referred to them and I successfully sold their home for them with them giving me a great testimonial for my hard work! What kind of honest network marketing is that? Sign up for my product or I will never refer you again even though you are good at what you do and treated me honestly and fairly?! Wow. Buyer beware. These reps are taught some real tough bullying techniques and I am sure it works on the weak and/or uneducated. They are making money for all of their up levels all while be promised riches beyond their wildest dreams. Feels like cult mentality to me. Sending them all love and light.

Very Very true about people on their Butts waiting for life to Happen to them. Agree 100% about harnessing go-getters.
However If you read the complaints, Most talk about the agressive and forceful nature of ACN, You could have made these points without the agressive tone. Every business has has clients and customers who don't quite Gel with the product or service, What is the point in making their life hell if they want to go elsewhere or try something else. Your comments are related to the communication industry and yet you seem to forget the power of a disatisfied customer one click away from telling 1000s or potential customers.
I wonder what is the actual cost of " Thanks for coming over and having a go. Have a great Day" verses the cost legal Standover Tactics like court cases and debt collectors etc, and MOST OF ALL the people like ME x 10s of thousands. who are now to scared to join, After 15 minutes of reserch into the company. Im now going to provide my 832 friends with my opinion of ACN. Have a Great day..! Pete
@eqinox2acn. How do you have a closet full of product, anyone who has ever puchased an ACN phone through me has done so on the internet where all of our products are sold from! I carry zero product stock, you must be thinking of a different company, not acn!
I haven't heard this type of bravado since a company called EQUINOX! Anyone remember them...sales style almost identical! If people don't join with you then you should turn your back on them...I KNOW...Look at the facts...#1) Austrailia has shut them down for being a SCAM...too bad our government is too slow to do it...just like with EQUINOX, there will be alot of people led to slaughter by their friends and family just to make a quick buck!
Simply ask this question: SHOW ME THE NUMBERS! Remember in this digital age, it is very easy to fabricate something that looks "authentic", and then you will see a photo copy of it... i am talking about these 5-6 digit checks that get passed around...anyway I am not against MLM's. I believe the concept is great...the problem is with the companies and how it is set up. run, and in the end the individuals that are out on the streets "selling" it! I only lost $2500.00...well shouldn't say that, I had a closet full of products for the next 8 years, till I threw the remaining out.
In closing...EDUCATE YOURSELF, ASK HOW MUCH PEOPLE ARE MAKING NOW...DON'T BE SWAYED BY "I'LL BE MAKING XXXX IN 3-6-12 MONTHS! LET THE NUMBERS SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES.
IN 2-5 YEARS, IF YOU BUST YOUR [censor] AT ANYTHING WORTHWHILE, YOU WILL GOOD MONEY...INTEGRITY...DO THE RIGHT THING!
lazy people? that is an understatement. I work full time, and not afraid of work! I wouldnt mind making money if the products worked! The telephone never worked.. getting billed every month because you CANT cancel it 190.00 cancellation fee! DIrect TV always cutting out and never get good service.. CANT cancel that since its a 200.00 cancellation fee! We called to get an alarm installed in our home and we had to pay 200.00 via credit card just to have the installer come down to take a look at the wiring etc...As it turns out the house cannot be wired due to certain restrictions and I am still trying to get my 200.00 back!
How can I sell a product that I could not stand behind. Like all of the people that are out there selling this product.. can you seriously say that you love it? and its reliable? I highly doubt it... I feel terrible for the other people I dragged to the meeting that had to lay out 499! ACN should be ashamed of themselves! I just found 190.00 charge on my credit card for an early cancellation fee for the phone service! They billed a random card that they found on file for me that I used when I first signed up 8 months ago, without asking me to authorize it. Furthermore, Wachovia bank will not allow any charges to ACN since they are not an accredited company! Go figure... They must know about all of the rip offs and will not allow their customers to get ripped off too!
very true. lazy people always complain. lazy people want money but never ever work. I think ACN clearly specifies that this is a 2-5 year plan for those who want to work and get somewhere in life. Not relying on the Ei premiums we pay. get off the internet. am amazed that you were not lazy placing this comment. you snooze you lose buddy.
Agree 150%
if u put a lot of effort u will get lots of succes
some effort u will get some succes
and if u put no effort well u get what u deserve no succes and some people dare to complain about ACN its a scam hahahaah
NO its u that is lazy.
how come the others have succes and u dont?
i m sure i m not special or smarter then those people but i got lots of succes TC in 9 months and always got my cheques in the mail
and the mail man is my new best friend :)
Just make sure ur willing to work hard for 2 to 5 years so u can relax the rest of your life if not just dont join is better for u and everybody ;)
