My youngest daughter called this evening and told me she was thinking about signing up with Fortune Hi Tech Marketing. My question is this; Are they a good online company, or just another scam?
She wants to try to make some extra money with an online company and do it from home in her spare time.
I've gone to their wesite and it seems legite but haven't been able to locate how much money they want at signup. I'm worried she'll get ripped off and my wife has told her to really check it out before agreeing to anything. So, is there anybody out there that can help? I'd really like to forward any info you can give, good or bad, so she'll make a good decision.

Thx in advance,
wtfury

Hello wt:

If she's signing up to make money, why would she have to pay anything to sign up???? What does this company expect of her? Is there an actual job doing something????

Without any more information, I'd stay away! It smells to high heaven.

Fortune Hi-Tech Marketing (FHTM) is a legit company. It's been in business for seven years and continues to grow faster each year. It's a network marketing company. This concept has been around for over 50 years and has made many people very wealthy.

There is an investment since you are starting a business not being hired for a job. My wife and I have been in the business for over a year and we can testify to the fact that the business works if you work the business. Like anything else, you get out of it what you put into it. The company provides training and mentoring. You don't just join and get left on your own. We hold their hands until they can work the business on their own and even then we're still available to help them if they need us.

I strongly recommend this company. Let's get real here, would companies like Dish Network, Verizon, T-Mobile, Sprint, Disney, GE, etc. partner with a company this isn't legit? Those companies are Fortune 500 companies with a huge legal staff. They have looked into FHTM in extreme detail before partnering with FHTM.

Any body see a theme here, a new member asks a question about a network marketing company and poof, another new member just happens to join up that knows all the facts. Was that not just the perfect luck or what.

If it was that easy, well a promise of riches for doing almost nothing, personal opinoin run from it as fast as humanly possible.

Yea Chuck, When she told me about it I thought I'd see if anybody here knew anything. Didn't know I'd start a recruitment theme. I've always been a hard working person. Tried a few home marketing things myself with no results. So when she called and told us what she was thinking about doing, I had to ask.
I'm leaving it up to my daughter to decide, but I have told her to check it out and make sure it's legit. I know she's just looking to supplement her income. I've even told her to check into medical transcribing as she does work in the medical field. Thanks for posts.

Yes, I guess the thing is, a person can make money on any scheme almost if it is just not illegal. ** and they don't seem to be illegal.
Alot of the stuffing evelopes at home and the re-shipping of items is of course as is all of the cashing checks for companies.

But it is just like amway ( love those products) and some of the MLM things, you can really make money, but you will have to work at it.
I wish it was that easy, heck I need to make an extra 1000 a month myself. But I find most money on things are made signing up other people, not sure about this. Heck there is even this Coastal Vacation people. ** have not seen them for a while, I know some people make money, but alot don't either, it is the how much work are you going to do.

I got into an "insurnace" thing a while back, the upper people made money, I did not sign anybody under me, I made a little money

That byebyejob website exhibits the MLM scam warning signs:
- phone number is unlisted, cannot do reverse lookup on it
- absolutely no contact information for people or company location
- makes a point to not mention what the products are or how they are sold, big focus on getting rich, no mention of "fees" yet you have been asked to pay something up front

Run, don't walk away from this.

Thanks for your opinion. Allow me to resond.

I'll start by asking you a few questions. How long have you been in business? What are your qualifications that would urge someone to take your advice? How many years of network marketing do you have behind you?

My business web addresss is FortuneHeadquarters.com There you will find our complete list of products/services and investment required.

We don't use our personal phone numbers because of number of prank callers. This has forced us to use message numbers. A common practice in this industry, I'm sure you're aware of this.

As for getting rich, get your hands on a copy of last month's issue of "Success from Home" magazine. Then entire issue is devoted to FHTM and shows many that have become "RICH" in this company. In fact the magazine will be publishing a follow-up issue. Something the have never done before.

Our company was also featured on the cover of "Millionaire Blueprints" magazine eariler this year.

Other than your opinion that you mentioned above can you give any solid evidence that FHTM is other than credible? I do mean solid evidence, not just opinion based on a hunch. I would like for you to cite your sources. FHTM has a top notch legal department that is poised to sue anyone what slanders the company.

Now before you even think about legal action it is extremely important that you get your terms right.
They can happily sue me for SLANDER, I'll even give you my contact information to that end.

Anyway this DOESN'T detract from the fact that FHTM has all the look and feel of a classic MLM operation.
Call it what you will and dress it up however you want, it's all the same.
The poor schmuck at the bottom does ALL the work for little reward UNLESS he can recruit people for a level BELOW him.

First of all I never knew this web site existed until I got a message from Google News. I subscribe to the service at they report anything with "Fortune Hi-Tech Marketing" in the title or text of an article. This one came up this week so I investigated it. That's why I subscribe to the service. I'm surprised that a Ordained Minister would have such negative thoughts toward someone he doesn't even know.

Your description of MLM companies falls in line with those that have not really looked at it in detail. Yes, there are sign-up bonuses but the real money is in residual income from sales. Our company requires us to gather only 10 customers. If you want more money, sure you can get more but gathering 10 customers and recruiting only 3 others to do the same doesn't take much and delivers a large sum of money. It can allow one to retire after doing the business for 3-5 years. This is much better than 40 years, don't you agree?

If you are willing I will take the time to show you how MLM compensation plans work and how the money is really made.

If you want to see a scam they go to corporate America. They buy your services at wholesale and resell them at a great profit. You can rarely make more money than your boss and he/she never want for you to learn more than they know. They won't teach you how to do their job. They want you to climb "the ladder of success". Only problem is the scenery never changes. It's the butt of the person above you. The only way you can move up is when he/she does. The secret of success is not to climb the ladder but to own it! Jobs may be good for some but there is a segment of the population that will not settle for that. Network Marketing or MLM is the business for those type of people. It's not for everyone. Some folks have no business owning a business. We look for those that want more and guess what? We find them!

Thanks for opinion. You sound like a reasonable person that can look at all the facts and then come to a qualified conclusion.

Respectfully,
Paul
