I saw the infomercial on New England Sports Network (NESN) at about 9-10am in late July. The infomercial was simple "get 20 people to sign up and receive $1000." Telling people to go to your website you bought for $35. They made it sound so easy to make money from this "business plan" that I could make the investment for the website.

As soon as I called the number on the screen they started to talking about jump starting my website with other add-ons to produce more money just as easy, signing up people to "have an army of people working for you."

I bought the book, "Curing Illness" and the pills, and some other add-ons they can't really explain to its purpose or send me an itemized receipt saying what I bought. They just told me that, if you do this then that happens. I received calls back from them to be upold more probably because I had a high propensity to be upsold, because it was done on the initial conversation. They asked me to buy guaranteed trafficing for x amount of dollars then when I said no, they immediately cut the price in half practically. Finally I wasn't getting the results as I expected or was told.

They upsold me again into a splash website, they told me that people buy from a trusted website rather than a generic one and I would be sure to get the numbers as I expected, no dice. I called back to ask them what was wrong and they said I needed to buy the media pack and out of everything they have they have " seen the best results" from the marketing tactic. They wouldn't tell me where and when they were going to air. I told them I wasn't going to buy any more "add-ons" before I started to see some results.

They offered me 10 free independent advertiers (IAs)plus the media pack for the same price. I told them no. They ended up giving me the 10 IAs for free after I told them I would think about the media and call them tomorrow. I never called. Ever since then I havn't made a single sale, they flipped a switch off in their computers.

Since the time I bought the website I've had 7 greatest vitamin customers and 1 joint vitamin customer and none since I told them I didnt want to spend any more money.

Knowledge is power and so is strength in numbers I encourage everyone write to the Arizona Attorney General as I will do so. I saw in other posts about the subject this could be helpful in getting my money back. I couldn't find the exact post but it was from John J Couberg from Ontario Canada.

Because of this sight there is so much dirt on Don Lapre and everything he has ever scammed. The reason why he continues his his way is from a special friend, who happens to be a powerful attorney in AZ, which this sight has also told me.

Go ahead the proof is in the pudding, look at how many people are disgruntled from there failing promises to make easy money from an army of people to work for you selling the vitamin. I encourage anyone who reads this to submit a post or ripoff-report, write to the Attorney General of AZ.

Because, we have strength in numbers just I believe will preveil, that's what makes our country great unlike the greatest vitamin in the world and don lapre. Don Lapre is everything not American, he is a villian and wants to steal your money by phony promises.

I've done that already. I also think I've come up with a pretty good name too. If you'd like to share more strategy with me I'd appreciate it. (( email redacted by ROR)) This is the e-mail address that came with my "splash site" or the website with the shorter domain name like you were talking about that they offer. hope to talk to you soon

Positive postings not welcome...

I can't believe how negative people are when someone posts a positive comment about something. First and foremost I am not a "shill" as stated in a previous comment. I am an IA with the company and have done well so far in the business. I haven't done enough to replace my current job but done well nonetheless. Although the site is what has been referred to as a "cookie cutter" site it has still worked for me for the most. Do I get every hit that has come through the site? Who knows? What I do know is that I have done pretty well for myself with this program. All I can encourage you to do is continue trying without buying any of those add-ons. I think those are way too pricey and not really necessary. What I do encourage you to do is buy a shorter domain name that would redirect to your GVITW website that way you can better monitor what goes to your site and people are more inclined to visit with a shorter domain name. That has worked well for me. Just a suggestion...Don Lapre....I mean....Ernesto out!

You know what? I have done a lot on my own. I've made flyers. I've made business cards. I took these materials to post in areas like Davis Square a heavily populated area with a lot of foot traffic' Lowell, Westwood, Methuen, Andover, Lawrence posting near T stops, street crossings, bus stations, grocery markets. I've posted a flyer at my primary care, I've flyerd malls, strip malls. I have felt that I've done something than just buy the programs and nada! I even came up with my own idea to give kickbacks to my friends who would buy the site from me on my checks gvw would send me. Which would have my friends making money on something I sold them without them ever having to do anything but sign up. The problem is people never ever want to be taken advantage of not even for a dime. I've talked to my best friend and my brother who lives with me directly to see if they would take my special incentive and they say, "Yeah, sure all I have to do is go to the website right?" An they never end up doing it. I CAN'T EVEN PAY PEOPLE TO BE AN IA! None of my friends would never say they wouldn't trust me. I don't know what it is. I'm baffled at this point.

Just because you have hits to your site, that does not mean they are from potential buyers or real Internet traffic. Don Lapre could have changed the counter number himself, and specified the number of people who bought from you - where there wasn't any in the first place. Given the history of Don's scams, I would not be surprise if this was the case. I would NOT trust the counter on your site anymore than I would trust this company, no matter what they tell you. Remember, they are the ones who own the cookie-cutter website with your name on it, and have full functionality to your site's content....

Disregard Ernesto whatever crap comes out of his mouth. He is going from posting to posting and doing damage control for donny boy. He is a shill, just read all the posts and you will know exactly how donny boy scams people. Stay away, you have a better chance of making money by taking your money and putting all on red 23 at a casino.

I have to say I've been reading the complaints about the Greatest Vitamin in the World website and I can't believe how many of you are actually thinking that you can just have a website and expect others to make your money for you. You have to actually "work" to earn money. I've been with the company for a little over a week now and I have more than 30 people who have purchased from my site. The way I did it was by actually directing people to my site ON MY OWN. I didn't rely on the company to send potential customers to my site. I took the initiative and did it myself! I've already recieved confirmation that I will be receiving my first $1,000 check shortly and I will continue doing what I am doing to make some real cash. I say spend more effort in advertising your site and less on complaining and you may also have success.
