People that join MLM and have success understand like in any business endeavor that there is a financial investment. If you chose to work with Mr Tim Herr and were unsuccessful due to a personal problem than do not report somebody for scamming you.
I am also in the military and I know that when you deploy you get many bonuses and you obviously had money to spend. The only reason you didn't have success working with Tim Herr was because of you. He does not mislead people, people just don't learn or understand what MLM really takes. That is why those same people will remain broke and struggling for a long time.
The only thing I can maybe believe him doing wrong was misunderstanding corporate policy as is a problem for many agents in many companies. I do know many people that he has personally blessed with financial freedom and I do not believe that he would ever scam anybody.

Tim Herr and Richard Cho tricked my friends and me in to joining ACN 2 years ago they told us that we were going to invest in a good business a new DSL internet business that they were starting, all we had to do was sell DSL service and we would get a percentage of the monthly payments. They said in order to be a partner we had to invest $499 and sign up for the DSL service to make money faster. We trusted Richard Cho and Tim Herr so we invested in this business , there were about 20 of us that had just returned fron Iraq with a little money to invest. Tim Herr and Richard Cho made about $10,000 on all of us. Once they got the money they tried to get us to recruit more people at $499 we tried to back out of the deal but Tim Herr said it was to late and that we were were not getting a refund he then disappeared and we never heard from Timothy Herr or Richard Cho again. We found out that he is still ripping people off with a new company called GLA Global Leadership Alliance. We have to put a stop to these 2 clowns. find out more about Tim Herr at Feetratings.com

LATEST NEWS: It's been reported by various defectors of GLA (Some of them higher ups and once Tim's loyal followers) that the Alkaline filters they were selling were ACTUALLY $50 and being sold for 6 TIMES THAT! Also, Tim Herr has been known for misrepresenting himself and his company as a way to get people to trust and to believe in him. He and his loyal followers have made false claims about Tim "owning Alkalark (the company that makes the water filters)" and "being worth $200 million." NONE of such claims are true. You want the truth? Here it is! -Tim's first network marketing company was called NTC. He got busted for slamming a bunch of UCI students. -Tim was a co-founder with Clif and Dave Braun, two of the biggest network marketing scammers in CA (2by2 and Infenet). Together they formed Vizion One (later named Blue Wave). This was a scammy telecommunications MLM that provided inferior services and made many false promises such as giving out luxury cars. -Tim got busted in ACN 3 times. The first offense was for slamming in Arizona I believe. I dont know what the second offense was. The third time was just pathetic. As a way to quickly get commissions, he would encourage his downline to buy new voips for new reps with pre-paid gift cards. Though in the short term, he would make T-cabs, the voips a month later would sit there in limbo unpaid. ACN cracked down on this and did the right thing. -He gets kicked out of 5 Linx! instead of the $499, they were selling the opportunity for $635 (499+Voip+Rep Web services). This was so reps could easily make money recruiting. Thus, making 5 Linx come off as a pyramid scheme. They NEVER mentioned just $499 during the presentation. They ONLY said $635! When I saw suckers give their new uplines their credit cards, the recruiters would copy their card numbers, expiration dates, security codes, and other required information and not even tell them that the Voip and Webservices were OPTIONAL. You only need 4 points (Webservices=2, Voip=2) to get your new rep qualified and get you paid.
