If you are considering joining Trek Alliance think again, I was wary all the way through but my ex-husband kept pushing me and I always tried to support himin his business ventures so I joined. I regeret that decision to this day. I am so glad that they are now being investigated, I feel stupid having not looked intot he company when I first joined on. Luckily I got out only 1,500 in debt, and I am the wiser for it. i work for corporate America and I love it! I would never sell Trek alliance items. They are crap! Their hair products gave me dandruff, the filtering shower head leaks (piece of crap), and their so called bogus health products don't do anything. PLEASE for all that is sacred and holy do not fall into the trap of Trek. I was a stupid college graduate and I was in a strange city looking for work and the job market was bad. Not a great excuse but the only one that I have.

Time and time again people fill out there complaints about how TrekAlliance screwed them over and that they're victims of fraud. But yet for some reason no one makes any comments on how the products work. Lets see would that be because they work wow what a concept a company that creates commerce with viable product lets see whats that called lets think about that one its called business. Who would have thought that its was possible for a company that a few dumb asses said is a fraud to help several people make not only lots of money but help so many others with there ailments. I've only been with the company for 1 year but in that time I've not only made money but I'v gotten over many ailments and have help several others as well. When you join the company the first thing you sit threw is a company over view and they tell before you even join the company that its not for everyone and that is probably going to be the hardest thing that you have ever done but yet stupid people with no discipline that aren't will to take responsabilty for there own actions try to do some thing half a*s and when they fail they wonder why. So instead of being an adult about it they become over grown children and start pointing the finger and placing blame were it does not belong. When in fact what they should do is look in mirror and thats where they will find the blame for there problems. TrekAlliance doesn't make you do anything they simply show you an alternative means of making money besides working a job. Its up to you if you chose to do what they show you and that is how you know that it isn't TrekAlliances fault for your failures its your own. So step up and take blame for your own actions because its your f**k up not anyone eleses.

Spare me! Do you and Tony Robbins ride the hobby horse together or what? You clearly have been sucked in and brainwashed. You probably make VERY little money doing what you do, you just feel the need to rehearse and lecture everyone about what a wonderful company these scam artists are. I work for Corporate America, yes I do. I love it. I'm in sales and probably make more than you do.I make more than most normal people do, even those with a college degree. I could care less that I'm not my own boss, I've been with my job for 2 years now, I get a pay check every 2 weeks, a commission check once a month plus numerous other spiffs and contest and prizes I win, full insurance and 401k and stock options, and went on an all expenses paid trip out of the country for a week in July for being good at my job. Trek Alliance, and all the creeps that support them, can kiss my butt. Have a nice day!

If you truley have been in the company then you have been told by our top producer many times that this buisness is not for everyone. Maybe you are not in the right place in your life to become successful.
I am willing to bet you lost sight of your goals and or never made any to begin with. The independant buisness owners in this company nor the owners ever said it would be easy.
In fact if you attended your EP Trainings like you should have, you would have heard the trainer tell you it would be hard That it requires dedication, determination, duplication, documentation, however you failed to do what they asked I have been in network marketing before and I didnt get it with them With this company I got it and I am doing it and I am successful.
See you cut down what you dont get and you didnt get it. If you had the money and the time required to start your own buisness such as a Restraunt clothing store ect. you would fail at that too some people are not capable of dreaming and seeing the big picture you cant just buy a starter kit and sit on your butt expecting to get rich this is a buisness.
They didnt scam you, you scammed yourself. Success comes when you jump the wall not run into it. Obstacles are just little speed bumps you just need to get a bigger vehicle to go over them faster. I Wish you The best in all your endeavors, and hope that you can find some positive things that came from all your past experiences.

I read a few rebuttals here from so called employees who are sticking up for these frauds.
Attorney Generals do not get involved in companiesunless there is fraud and rip-offs going on and WI is one of several states that have filed claims against Trek Alliance.
I urge these "supporters" to do some research on this shady organization, you'll find that about 90% of the comments and articles on Trek Alliance are NEGATIVE.
Also willing to bet that MLM's are not successful for about 90% of the people who join them. That does not even out the numbers that these things work because they don't.

You people do not know what you are talking about.
Trek Alliance is made up of wonderful people who are a great aspect to the business. The product works and is very sellable, the key to success is to believe in yourself and you will go far. The people that have written in this column are scared that they have or will miss out, and for that I'm sad for them, because they are truly missing out on an opportunity of a lifetime.

I met a guy named Lincoln Wooten who tried to recruit me at trek alliance I went to the seminars and got the starter kit an they kept trying to recruit me an some of my friends.
When my friends said they wouldnt buy a business in a box,the people at trek alliance said rudly "your wasting my time".
Then they tried to sell me a business in a box and they told me I had to spend money on a regular basis on thier s**t!!I told them I dont think this is gonna work out an tried to get my money back on my starter kit an they told me if the kit was intact and new then this was possible, but back when I first got the kit Lincoln told me to watch a movie at thier offices and take notes in the handbook i did this and cause of this I couldnt get my money back even thought they told me to write in the handbook.So I didnt get my money back.Like I heard in earlier responses Trek alliance has to go DOWN!!!!

I am in the process of watching a friend slide into the grips of one of these MLMs. We are trying to get him to wake up before he is finacially ruined. He and his wife have both quit working to pursue this "opportunity of a lifetime". They are living off of the equity left in their home and now are at the stage where they are deperately trying to fill up meetings with their friends. If you are a friend...DON'T GO. Do not give them the inkling of a belief that thhis is a possible occupational venue. You know your work is unethical or at a minimum, deparate, when you are too embarrassed to clearly explain what it exactly is. Most of these folks are sufficiently vague to lure deparate people in. Then, like a cult, they zero in on the most vulnerable. Then they suck them dry and watch their "alliance partners" lives sprial downwards.
What is sad is that falling prey is SO embarassing, that most who lose money are to afraid or embarrassed to admit it to others. So they defend it and that leads to others entering similar schemes. That is what it is...a scheme. Not a business. A scheme that preys on the deparate.
