a few months ago someone asked me to join there. I had a feeling it looked, smelled and walked like a pyramid scheme. So forget it not for me. After all I'd rather have a real job than that kind of crap.

Come on, why blow 6000 of your hard earned money that you may never see it again!!! it's obviously a pyramid scheme period!!! this kind of thing goes around the world a hundred times over in a different way!!! I think I would use 6000 on something i would appreciate than blowing it away!!.. I guess people wanted to find the easiest way out to get more money, but think about it LIFE IS NOT EASY!!!!

Question

I secondly go with OldNavy! I agree, bec I need a PROOF! So I won't accept until the PROOF is here.....or....They should print a Club Freedom Document to follow Intructions for people to read before Joining the club, that's it! That would be the proof bec we can be the victims or anything to happen to us, never know?!?

I still don't get it! Ugh!

Yes, Quixtar is legal so therefore since CDT and CF's structure follows Quixtar's idea only without the monthly fees and different products, they shud be legal too. Since pyramids schemes r illegal and all three companies' structure r similiar to a pyramid scheme so I just threw my hands in the air cuz I don't know which is right. Us courts say Quixtar is legal and CDt and CF's modeled their business structure to keep themselves within legal standards but on the other side, govt has a description of illegal pyramids and all 3 companies' structures r somewhat similiar to the govt's description sooo..I just said "oh well..if I got scammed by CDT, I can earn a Darwin award as Lucia stated about people being gullible falling for scams." Hehehe

That's why I am only willing to risk 100 dollars AT only 1 time to see if it works or not. If it works, GREAT! If not, then I get the award and learn my lesson.

So, the moral question is..don't invest in more than 1 cuz u really can seriopusly lose a lot of money if they r actually scams. People tried to get me to join CF but because I am still experimenting with CDt..I won't join any other business ventures until I get my earnings. If that doesn't happen then I know that I was wise enough not to repeat the mistake numerous times. CDT was the only business venture I have ever joined in my life..it is still slow. CDT won a legal battle in Australia so....who knows if they r a legitimate business or a very very clever scam that outsmarted the Australian authorities??? Ahhhh..right now iam not investing so much time in CDT like before.

I think every person has their own opinion whether CF is a scam or not.

My friend who was above me cycled out 4 months ago and using her e-visa from CDT for food, gas, clothes, and whatnot while she uses her regular earnings to pay off debt. If it was a scam, she wouldn't have gotten the money? People said yes...scams do honor their promises which even confuses me more cuz I thought scams were people promising something but actually they take your money and run? My friend got what she promised so....

That's a long time to fret over if you did get it or not wow.. I don't want to be harsh but is the diamond real?? maybe have it appraised to see if it's real cause I wouldn't buy anything online if I haven't seen the diamond myself... Well true, about some scammers as I know even through some friends have done it by running off with everyone's money and didn't participate any longer to help the others. Just my two cents in... if it works for you then be it... I just have enough worries in my life than this...

This isn't referring to you, I just worried too much for people that are desperate to find the easiest way to earn money by giving out their hard earned money like I know one girl paid 2000.00 and lost it all cause someone didn't go further... It's scary... I do believe this quote "IF IT'S TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE, then SOMETHING ISN't RIGHT"

Amway - Official Amway Company Site of Amway.com

Quixtar - Official Quixtar Company Site of Quixtar.com, Inc

Same company different names.

Oh, I found a link: Read this:Pyramid Scheme Alert

Right Amway is Quixtar.

Cdt and Club Freedom r completely separate business but they modeled their business structure after Quixtar. No, CDT is not afflited with Amway.

Right..who said making a lot of money is easy? It takes work whether u invest in stocks, join business ventures, start up your business, or working a 9 to 5 job.

The question is are those 3 companies scams or legitimate businesses? I contacted the MD Attorney General and he said his office doesn't have the power to determine if a company is legal or illegal. Only the courts can do that. That's what Amway did...I don't know who started it but Amway got taken to the courts in the early 80s, I believe and the ruling was that Amway is legal here is the US. It was declared illegal in one Asian country..not sure if Japan or China...so why a difference in opinions from both countries? Kinda strange isn't it? Iam typing this from my pager so I can't get the link to the website where I read about this info. If anyone wants me to I can get on the computer to copy and paste the links. Let me know

Iam not here to advocate for anything.....just to share what I read while researching on CDT. Last summer and fall, I was so sure that CDT was not a scam..now iam not so sure anymore cuz someone told me that some scams do honor the promises made. That just made me more confused. LOL.

One good thing out of this, is I learned a lot about these kind of things..before, I had heard of pyramid schemes but never really fully understood them due to lack of interest.

I voted I don't know. If it was 5 months ago, I would have voted no but now iam not so sure anymore.
