		<description>Just had my first ACN sales pitch.  If it wasn&#039;t meant to be a legal pyramid scheme (MLM), why didn&#039;t they ask me to buy my phone service through them?  Why did they want me to shell out 500 bucks?  

The share of someones monthly bill is probably in the area of 1 to 2% of said bill.  To break even for the annual renewal fees and such, you&#039;d need to find a bunch of customers and have them STAY customers.

ACN &quot;reps&quot; don&#039;t make money off of the &quot;services they sell&quot; in which makes it legal, it makes money off recruiting others, and HOPING those others don&#039;t drop out.

And the video phone?  What a joke.  They said &quot;oh we&#039;re working on allowing you to put a wireless card into the back&quot;.  I promptly yanked out the power cable and watched the phone turn off.  I said &quot;If it doesn&#039;t run on batteries it aint wireless.  Welcome to 2001&quot;.

		<description>Though many of us believe that MLM businesses are cons, this isn&#039;t always the case. Some like ACN are classed as pyramid swindles, which is not the case. Nevertheless you should note that pyramid schemes make money from sign up costs and such charges without actually providing goods and services. This is not the case hence the allegations of ACN pyramid con aren&#039;t correct.
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;One wonders why ACN is labeled a rip-off. Is it because of the enrollment payment and subsequent monthly fees to enroll for the MLM promotion? It would naturally seem to imply that those registering would aim to win something in return for their funds they have contributed. Not all will gain in this manner, leading to claims that the operation is a scam.
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;What makes it not be a ponzi operation, is the incontrovertible fact that they deal with the promoting of telecommunication services. It is the reason as to the reasons why they partner with telecommunication multinationals such as sprint, T-mobile, Verizon, direct TV and ATT among others . These established corporations would not be enthusiastic to work side by side with ACN if the claims were right. This would damage their reputation irretrievably.
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;The start up amount needed, which is in the area of 500 US dollars, compared with what is required to start a business, is essentially minimum. For any partaker to realize good returns, they should work hard and stop treating it as a spare time pursuit.
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;It&#039;s also important to note why the MLM approach is employed in spite of its connection with pyramid swindles. Since companies need to grow, they want more customers and staff to handle the extra obligations. The MLM approach is better as the employees / representatives are also customers.
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;Considering all these aspects it is clear that ACN pyramid scam claims are not primarily based on facts. If you&#039;re looking for a way to earn income this is a fantastic opportunity. You need to actually check out the ACN free report on how to achieve success in Multi Level Marketing.
