Visalus Sciencesa Body by Vi Visalus...Bad Science...Worse Progam Troy, Michigan
When Visalus was presented to me by a trusted friend, I agreed to look at it with him. The first impression I got was very favorable, and then I began to dig into their very flawed system which is presented as incredibly easy and free! I assure you, it is neither.
As a retired Financial Services Professional, (Insurance and Investments) I know how to dissect a product offering, a compensation plan and a corporate structure. In other words, I know what to look for, I know when something has been obsfucated, I know when "puffery" is being employed as opposed to out-and-out deception. That being said, I am appalled that the people responsible for Visalus and Visalus Sciences have not been arrested and incarcerated for foisting on an unsuspecting public, one of the most deceptive and financially damaging compensation plans I have seen in the past 30 years.
The idea that anyone can grow, what is essentially an over-priced, poorly designed diet plan, into a six figure residual income is a lie. In order to succeed in this MLM you must be a networking superstar. The dropout rate is over 90%! In other words in order to keep getting your "free" shipments you must recruit 3 people a month EVERY MONTH forever ... BUT with a 90% dropout rate that really means YOU HAVE TO REPLACE EVERYONE YOU RECRUIT EVERY 6 WEEKS FOREVER just to stay even let alone try to grow this thing as a viable business.
That's just the beginning, What really makes Visalus a scam is the fact that YOU ARE PAID TO SIGN PEOPLE UP. That is 100% illegal.
As if you needed more warnings, Visalus Sciences manufactures all the products they sell, in other words they have a vested interest in selling what they make EVEN IF SOMETHING ELSE IS BETTER.
The "White Papers" they reference to prove the efficacy of their products are written by people with questionable credentials and agendas. Don't take my word for it, most if not all are written by one person, check him out on google.
Last but not least is the Visalus BMW program, I thought this was like the Mary Kay Cadillac program, you earn it but you never own it. Visalus is much worse, the BMW is titled to the distributor, the distributor is financially responsible for the monthly payments, not Visalus! In other words when your income drops below the level of Regional Director (remember the 90% dropout rate), Visalus doesn't take the car back, they stop paying for it, and you start paying for it.
But now you are making less money, and losing more people (your posture reflects your desperation) and the vicious cycle downward picks up speed as you watch your credit rating crash on your way to financial disaster and possibly bankruptcy.
NOTE: There are people who make money in this scam, in some cases a lot of it. They will continue to make money AT THE EXPENSE OF OTHERS until the government shuts them down for being an illegal pyramid.
Why am I so incensed by this company? Because I have personally been called for help by 2 family members who did not heed my warnings and are now in financial ruin.
