Herbalife ripoff shocked at the debt created by the lack of loyalty of herbalife to its investors. Burbank California
It has taken me 8 years to write about my experience with Herbalife. I was ecstatic when I watched the video about how I could change my life. I joined in full force and took out two loans - one from my life insurance, the other from my 401K in order to join at the supervisory level.
My sponsor was to help me understand the program - he was the one I was to contact for assistance after watching the multiple videos and listening to the tapes. I began doing what they told me. However, I needed assistance, ideas, guidance. My so called-sponsor was worthless - did not return my multiple calls after I spent @$5500.00 to join.
I called the person on the tape who said he could be reached if I had problems with my sponsor. No reply. I was so devastated and felt so betrayed, embarrassed and ripped off. My family and spouse had warned me but I believed. To this day, I still owe this debt as well as the interest. I was not in debt prior to investing my money.
Those making big bucks and writing back disagreeing with those of us who have tried and failed - you are making big bucks off those poor unfortunates who have been kicked off the ladder and discarded as chumps on your way up. I stongly believe I should have my investment paid by the person who took my money. I was once a believer.
Now, at 46, I am not only back to hoping to get that $20.00 out of the cash station, but still shocked at the debt created by the lack of loyalty of herbalife to its investors. Thanks, Herbalife for your grande scam - you should be ashamed.

You have to find another sponsor/supervisor who will help you.

I'm very sorry that you had such a bad experience with your sponsor. In your particular case I can see that you were ripped off by you sponsor and not by the company in common. My suggestion in your case would be to report about your experience to the customer support and try to get the supervisor from the line above or try to find another supervisor. You always have an option to changne your sponsor/supervisor if he does not provide you with proper support. My wife and myself are with the Herbalife for half a year already and we got a wonderfull sponsor who provides all kinds of support and answers all the questions and calls instantly. So far we have a very positive experience with the company.

carol im sorry you lost all that money to this heartless company, i thought i really got took for the 399.00 i sent them,until i read what you lost , i believe because many of us think the internet has all these thousands of work at home opportunities, we get blindsided by the frauds out there and 90% or more are just that, wouldnt it be great if we could go into an athome business the money potential would be staggering when there are millions of people on the com everyday, you would think well if i could just reach a few hundred out of all those people i would be rich, unfortunatley something that should make tons of money just doesnt hunt, i am with a company right now that may end up on ripoff reports if i dont make any sales within the next six months, i wont name them for one reason, i will give them a chance to prove themselves and if they dont then i will scream thier company name to this site, also i believe a truly honest business, shouldnt charge one red cent until you are making money with them , then it would be fair to pay the expenses, thats how i would conduct business if i had one
