Tell us has your experience with this business or person been good? What's this?
It all started by me answering an ad in the paper for a "Customer Service" position! This is how they get people to their meetings--by using "false" advertising schemes with catchy phrases like: "Sales position,Athletic type,manager positions open and MANY OTHERS!!

When I went to the office for my interview there were about 15 of us sitting there waiting and I KNEW I WAS IN TROUBLE! I should have left immediately and NOT WASTED MY TIME! I had been involved with one of these schemes before and knew that this had to be similar!

In fact, two of the owners of this company Rich and Tiffany Von and Kale Flagg were BOTH in Equinox, which went under when they had a law suit filed against them for "Deceptive business practices."

I just knew that this had to be the same concept as before, yet I listened to their "talk" about how u could get rich and change your life and ALL that crap! And stupidly, I signed up thinking this one would be different!

I paid their price for the "starter kit" and then they were quick to tell me about all the training events and conferences that were coming up and tried to sucker me out of more money--I DIDN'T fall for that!

I just left and NEVER returned! Please people, BEWARE of these quick-talking, fast-acting, get-rich-quick schemes!! They are ALL a bunch of CRAP and DON'T WORK!!! They are in it for the money---YOUR MONEY so THEY can get rich themselves on SOMEONE ELSE'S MONEY!!

Your college education didn't buy you any common sense now did it? Now go buy yourself a clue. You are clueless if you actually think TA is going to help most people make any money, unless you are one of their high paid puppets that go around pretending its an incredible opportunity. Its all a well rehearsed scam. Check with the Attorney Generals in almost EVERY state and TA has complaints against them. Yes I work for corp America, but I live a comfortable life and drive a 28k new SUV. If I would have fallen for the TA scam, I'd be driving a geo metro and living with my parents. Trek Alliance sucks!!!

Trek Alliance is a Pyramid scheme, end of discussion. Shills are always quick to attack people when they comment negatively on their schemes. Pyramid schemes like Trek not only may be illegal, but are almost always unethical in that they encourage you to go after your warm market. "Warm Market" is an MLM touchy-feely term that means "your family." These days Pyramids realize that convincing people to screw their family members out of money or dumping over-priced, shoddy products and services on them isn't enough. A *real* pyramid coup is to get into a church, school, company or other mini-society. They can wipe these collectives out in a matter of weeks. Don't do him or anyone else any favors, Erin. Keep your shilling to yourself and let the people make up their own minds. Pyramids don't provide "jobs"; they just sell hopes and dreams to the desperate and make the man at the top rich.

I've been looking into Trek in Des Moines for the past month.... I was just curious...why were you looking for a job in the paper anyways? Are you making so much money at your current job (if you have one) that you can completely walk away from ANY opportunity? I don't know about you, but I've got a huge a*s debt from college, and I'm open to any ideas that may help. The job market isn't looking too incredible right now. If your current job is so great that you can walk away from a documented program that works, I want to work there too. On a sweetier note, I'm not the b***h I'm coming off to be, I'm just sick of reading entries like yours. Who brought you in? Maybe we could get together and chat things out. I'm still debating...

EDitor's Comment: I don't wish to be crude, but with all the sexual impropriety that is documented to have gone on in TREK, you must either be BUTT ugly or perhaps you don't mind the fringe benefits you are getting as one of the company PERKS. (Hope you take this in the spirit it is given. Seriously, you should read all the reported information about the wife swapping, adultery and sexual harrassment in this organization.)
