What they dont tell you is. Money is made when u get others to join at the various levels.All other stuff is just a bluff to remain legal.As far as gifting it is legal as long as it done right. Thank you ripoff report for saving me on this one.

I too was approached by a BHR Manager and after several weeks of mulling over, I decided to fill out the paperwork and donate my $299 (50%). Things were quite disjointed as Mark would call about filling out forms, etc. His conference calls were designed to explain the business to newcomers from craigslist and do followup calls by someone to get them to join. It all seemed plausible with the exception of putting money down. Multiple emails per day on what to do. Free leads. After receiving and testing 200-300, I found they were garbage. Bad phone numbers and people that were not in debt (may have actually talked to 10). These could be small businesses, BUT, many wanted to handle the debt themselves. BHR would "negotiate" a settlement. Good plan, but many of the debtors owed money to sub-contractors and suppliers they did business with for years. To settle on 50% of money owned would ruin the relationship, give them a black eye in the area and cause them to lose future work. Google project: What a waste. Fax pages to companies mostly, offering our services. Trying to google public records is a waste of time, so you never get to someone that has debt problems. This was labeled as a money maker. Just a farce. No reputable business cares to see unsolicited faxes. State Managers: This was a brain child. Get those like me to take over and cultivate a state. I was enjoying it and felt good momentum. I was told to hire at least 2 administrators. No one could actually tell me after multiple email and voice mails (Mark stopped answering his phone and it went to voice mail) how to pay for them. I hired an admin who was doing craiglist for me. I sent him a personal check to cover his time, since I am not a smuck. I had developed a business plan, which was requested by Rhonda. I assumed a business of 28 years would have a business plan. I never should have sent the intellectual capital. Training: Training finally was instituted and was going over quite well. How to open/close accounts, etc. Training also included getting leads at the Circuit Court. These were supposed to be the "hot" leads. The bottom fell out. All State Managers were removed. New forms were sent out hourly. A new commission form went from 3 levels buy-in, to the last on I saw, $549, period. All classes were canceled due to no participation (gee, no kidding, state managers weren't in place to bring people to the table.) In two months, I never saw a dime. Mark got into "gifting". Total scam, illegal in most states. Jail time would do him good.
