Mondelis, Is It A Scam?

Mondelis, is by far the greatest way to make money I have ever seen. I have made back my initial small investment and have hundreds that have as well. There are alot of scam companies out there, I think I have seen them all and I must say this leap of faith into a company like this has been great. I get paid to do what I am already doing. The joy of this company is that you dont have to sell anything. Sure it is great if I get associates to see the potential as well, but if I just get my friends to come on and socialize it is worth it. And if they ever shop I get paid. Their is no hassle or catch. It works up to 7 generations. Thanks so much for allowing this comment.

@Ed:

Hey, first of all Ed I was where you are now 18 months ago. It was not with Mondelis though. I started out with a much more complex MLM called Global Resorts Network and I joined through the Reverse Funnel System. If you want to see mixed perspectives of MLM make money opportunities check out this blogger that has done what I am doing here at dirkpoulsen.com. http://www.gator-byte.com/2007/10/reverse-funnel-system-scam .

Read through all these post and decide for yourself. Regardless what your upfront investment is, when you sign up others, you feel like a dupe when you realize there is no way that they will ever be able to sell this to anyone let alone make an income.

I saw the video and the pay scale for Mondelis, and here you claim to have 100's of others that have received there measly 150.00 back from promoting Mondelis also. Yes there are lots of online gamers but I would ask you to do 2 things so that my readers can visualize what you have stated.

First I would like these hundreds ( and just 10 would be acceptable ) to come and comment about how they are promoting Mondelis, and how they are having success with this company.

My readers would like a little proof. When I get this proof, Hell, I will be your next sign up!

Cheers!

Dirk Poulsen

Thanks for the response. you need to have ten people, I have those ten people for you.I have asked that they post on here, about their experience. thanks for the opportunity, and I can't wait to sign you up. The one thing that I should mention to your viewers is that, while other "so called opportunities" promise to deliver thousands and have little success. This opportunity does not require any money, no thousands, nothing but you signing up for free on the social network, you can socialize and shop for free, and our shopping mall saves you money and your friends money without any catch down 7 generations, this is available to all of our socializers, once again let me stress their is "no cost" for this. The 150 dollars that you speak of is for those that wish to capitalize on a percentage of the gamers and those paying subscriptions. With the fast start money you receive, as you have read the comp plan, will pay you this back rather quickly if you do know some gamers or other people that would like to be an associate, but either way you can make money in this with no investment if you want to. So many other network marketing companies fail due to the constant selling structure, and the hope that people will buy into the new product. This program is much different, simply due to the fact that we are not really selling anything, we are promoting a free social website, and a free discount shopping mall which is attached. The gaming for the most part will be advertised and those gamers that wish to come onto our cabilized gaming system will come on and also save money on playing the games they are already playing. The company didn't promote a new concept, lets face it people are socializing, gaming, and shopping, we just want them to do it on our site, and make extra income whenever they or their friends shop. I really dont consider myself selling anything. But I do welcome anyone to try this out. If you haven't been on the site you should go to echoloops.com referal code em242029. all I ask is you check it out, and see for yourself. thanks

I came into Mondelis a few Months ago and I have to tell you that it is everything that it claims to be. I could care less about On-Line Gaming, that’s not why I got involved. It’s the fact that it is a smart and well run company with a game plan to succeed. A free social network that is family friendly, an on-line mall that pays its customer a real rebate on EVERYTHING they buy, and oh an on-line gaming platform that is going to change the entire industry. You see when you look at the company from a business prospective it is a win-win, Products and Services for an existing market that are leaps and bounds better than anything out there. Gamers with be a big part of the market, but so will people who shop on line, people who work on-line and people who just stay connected on line. Do you know anyone who doesn’t fall into at least one of those categories?
You should also know that I am doing rather well with Mondelis. Mostly due to the fact that I was not left out in the cold. The members of my team worked with me and the team that I built to help us all succeed. It’s an approach that started at the top and is working all the way down.

Ed, I would like you to mention how you and your team are promoting Mondelis. Are you doing any advertising? And if so what avenues are you using to promote the Mondelis Social Network and the Mondelis Shopping Mall.

Thanks!

Hey Dirk,

I get called your name a lot, since my nickname is "Kirk". Everything Ed and Matt said is true. I want to add that the concept of bringing three revenue sources together into one web site (social networking, gaming, and shopping) was enough to get my friend signed up in ten minutes … and he hadn't even heard about the money. I'm going out to California to work with his group which is already ten strong.

I agree that there are a lot of scams out there, but I believe this is the real thing.

Glenn "KIRK" Kirkpatrick

Hmm yeah right Matt and Ed – how come I haven't come across this wonderful "opportunity" before – free money is always attractvie LOL. Its pretty sad Dirk – people really, really want to find short-cuts to making money online – and there aren't any! This one sounds worse than Amway!

Hey Dirk I made my money back in 1 week and have been doing very well ever since. I can back that up with financial statements if needed. I've done this primarily through word of mouth. I'm not too sure why you are so hell bent on tearing down this awesome opportunity that has changed my life and the way I look at and now understand mlm. All I can guess is that you have had some serious misfortune in your past. Sorry to hear that. By the way, I think that I could probably give you 10 people just in my organization and I'm quite certain that Ed could give you much more than that. These are people who are honestly just trying to catch a break and for once in their life are doing it. If you knew the wonderful people in my organization you would know how genuine and real these people are, and how much they deserve to dream and accomplish the great things that I know they already have and will continue to do in spite of the negative undertones in your articles. Lissie, Here's your opportunity!!. The reason you haven't seen it before now is that it is very new. Eventually everyone will know about it. unfortunately, just like any product marketed, whether a service or a tangible product, it will lose value over time. By the way, say what you want about amway and the many other mlm businesses out there, but amway has been in business for 50 years and alot of people have made olot of money and changed their lives through it. Bottom line…. don't knock it till you've checked it out. And Dirk……welcome aboard (in advance)

oh and by the way Dirk, I'm sure there are vegetarians out there that may not eat meat but don't have a problem serving it in the restaurant they work at or maybe even own, and guess what that means…..some salesman sold it to them and they didn't have to disguise it in Brussels Sprouts! Just because you don't use something yourself doesn't mean you can't provide it for someone who does.

Hi Lissie,
If you were in Amway i understand why your soured about making money, stock piling product, delivering the goods, mailing the out of town down liners their orders. I would suggest you check out the website http://www.echoloops.com/ it is FREE and you will make money. I know "too good to be true" that's what I said until I looked into Mondelis. This company is set up so everyone can benefit like no other I have seen. Like others have said This is a WIN WIN situation. When you sign into echoloops use my Referral Code # DL243267 You will be surprised "IT'S FREE" I wouldn't stop what you're doing now until you see the advantages of being on the team let me know. Oh BTW Dirk, check it out "IT'S FREE". Kirk is correct on what he is saying.

I am amazed how people who do not have all the facts can drive to such a strong conclusion! Dirk has a basic understanding and that is great Lissie you may not have heard of it yet because it’s still somewhat new, but you will be hearing of Mondelis for a long time to come. I love Mondelis and have nothing but great things to say about it. I been with them now for about 60 days now, I made my initial investment back within the first 2 days and have not looked back. The only resemblance to it being Amway is that its network marketing. But even with Amway people who got in early enough are doing very well today. As far as advertising I have not done too much past simply talking to friends and family and inviting people to the free social networking site. The mall is great and I am even starting to make money with it.
Mondelis has been an amazing experience and I look forward to a long and prosperous time with this company. My only suggestion is don’t bash what you either don’t know much about or simply are driving a conclusion to it because it’s a network marketing company. There are scams out there and we all certainly have to be careful. If you can open your mind past these feelings and look at the big picture you may see there is an opportunity with Mondelis. Regardless if you come on as an associate or simply enjoy the FREE social networking site.

Well I welcome you to check it out. It is brand new and we have only been out for a few months. I guess you didn't get the memo…lol. Before you knock this company I encourage you to check it out.

well besides the conventional method of the living room meetings ect, we are also doing internet and print advertising. I think however that word of mouth advertising is the best alternative in any business. After all, that is why facebook currently gets 600,000 new sign-ups a day. Thanks for asking

I should also mention Lissie, I have looked at your website and am shocked that you would downgrade a company such as yours to promote a site like yours. Too funny, and let me just say that in our company there is no investment required for people to generate income, they only have to socialize and invite their friends to socialize, if they or their friends shop they make money. Please research before you speak and compare us to other selling companies that have no comparison to us. Dirk thank you for letting us have a platform to share and clarify our stand to people such as this.

@Pat – you really should read my website LOL – to start off with does all this free shopping work for non-Americans?

@Denny – no I wasn't in Amway – but I had some ex-friends who were. Do you have any idea how hard it is to say NO to a friend – especially when you know they need the money – its the ultimate manipulation and that is why I hate all these related systems. And yes its exactly the same as Amway because as @orie says:

"simply talking to friends and family and inviting people to the free social networking site"

So now instead of sitting through an evening of stuff I don't want to buy I get to go online and shop for a whole lot of stuff I either a) don't need or b) can get cheaper elsewhere.

So no I don't have 10 people I hate enough to sign up – at the end of the day you can make good money online, even passive income as Dirk says – but to do so you need to do some work and actually provide a service or product that other people want – you are building a business not a shopping opportunity!

@Ed – your last comment makes little sense but I write on my website what I believe and its my website and I publish what I want on it. There are heaps of scams out there its hard to keep up really LOL – but they all prey on the same group of people – the desperate and those that want the FREE money -you know the stuff that doesn't work for anyone than those at the top of the pyramid. If you site was open to citizens of my country I could report you to my government as an illegal pyramid scheme.

P.S. Dirk if you are going to have these fun discussions in the comments you need to add a plugin like "subscribe to comments" so I can click a box and get notified by email when the next comment pops up!

Lissie, we are a worldwide company, I encourage you to look into the laws of mlm versus pyramid scam, here is a copy of the ones for all the US states and I am sure that most apply to where ever you are as well http://www.scribd.com/doc/19069830/MLM-and-Pyramid-Laws-in-50-States

This is in no way a scam. As for your comment about getting people to buy something they do not want or afford, we are not charging anything, so to imply that, it once again shows that you have no idea what you are talking about. I encourage you to please research before you speak, because it really makes you look silly. I can put you in touch with a few lawyers that are involved in our organization, if you would like and they can also explain our program. Let me know. I encourage all feedback about Mondelis, but lets keep it real, Dirk has created a forum on here to get clear understanding about this program, and with that I am glad that he is allowing us to talk. But people like yourself who claim to have a better passive way of income and bash other opportunities are plain silly. This makes you look bad and I would think that you would take a higher ground. I would never bash another company and claim they were scams just because they are not my current opportunity. And supporting Pat and Orie, I would say that there are alot of great mlm opportunities in the world, I just believe this is the best one. Do you think that Mary Kay cosmetics, Avon, and all the rest of mlm companies are all scams. If so how could these still function on a day to day basis? Once again I will close this by saying to please investigate and understand before you bash and make up information. Thanks

I totally agree with you Dirk, I did join this for the money aspect. And I think that you are right to say that people can be friends that do not think the same way about things. I appreciate your forum and your thoughts, and value peoples ideas. The things I just do not accept, is when people think they know everything about this system and they didn't even have the open mind to check it out. As for Lissie, she made a comment about reporting us as a scam so that is what i was referring to in my last comment. I think that is a pretty strong response for someone that knows little to nothing about our system. I also think it is sad when there are legitimate companies in the world that get a bad wrap because of a few bad apples. I'm sure you can agree being in a money making industry yourself. Thanks so much

I met Ed a while back when he was doing a circuit around my part of the United States. I remember him making some kind of statement about how Mondelis does an MLM thing to raise capitol, because selling stock does not do this. I have never studies business and I don't work for any business-savvy people, but I know enough to realize when something that blatant is incorrect.

I don't know if it's a lie or confusion, but I was completely unimpressed. He also gave the assurance that 80% of the people you talked to to get on board with Mondelis would buy the paid subscription while the other 20% would join the free segment, meaning a 100% success rate. Lovely, but impossible, as I know one person who was presented with the speech and did not join anything.

Furthermore, I did sign up for the echoloops network to see if I was wrong in so quickly dismissing it. The format is a Myspace that has none of my friends, that hardly can load a page, that all the people who told me to sign up for hardly use, and is always trying to sell me something. If the product worked well I would be more inclined to be nicer to the people who sell it, but as the product doesn't work well at all, there is no hope for it. It is a joke.

very confusing, to say that it is always trying to sell you something. i really don't understand that comment. As for hardly load a page. Once again, I don't understand. Is it a glitch in you computer? As for your friends not being on, once again. this is new, so they might not be yet. I am glad that on one of my travels I did get to meet you. And I am glad you had an opportunity to check out the site. I'm sure that if you check out the mall you will be pleasantly surprised as to the fact that you can make money for just inviting your friends. Can I also ask what part was confusing about my presentation? And which presentation you attended? Just curious. Thanks so much.

It sounds as if Ed is an employee of the company, or part of the original organization, otherwise why such a strong vested interest? There have been several other platforms quite similar to this. The newest one called Blastoff. They are all difficult to use, you have to shop with their affiliates, the gaming is too small a niche market. At least Blastoff has FB, and not their own SN site. I think they are all just another way for a guy to make a buck….. and there is no way "the average Joe" could quit their day job and have this be their primary income. I find it hard to believe that anyone is making money in either of these organizations, or anything like them. Some people have their pipe dream though. I applaud the drive and demeanour this gentleman seems to excude for Mondelis, but as with most MLM's, I feel he's wasting his time.

SCAM ALERT: I pumped $500 into the MMoguls scam and all I got was a replicated lead capture page that never worked.

Then Mondelis became the new MONEY PIT and I still couldn't see myself trying to sucker other suckers into the same boatload of credit card debt, maniacal MLM hype and worthless virtual products that I was duped into buying. Yes, I was a Mondelis sucker once, but $650.00 in burned money cured me of the pipe dream Mondelis promised could be mine if only I recruited enough other suckers to pay into the scheme just like me.

I thought to myself, why am I paying $50.00 a month for EchoLoops when this certain bogus video on YouTube says I could have signed up into EchoLoops for FREE like everyone else got to? Did I get hoodwinked into another Mormon-LDS Pyramid Scheme like Mmoguls, was I subsequently bilked of $650.00 in membership sign up fees and monthly payments just to learn I could have joined for FREE? Or is the video I saw regarding Mondelis/EchoLoops mean to say, that if I scam others to join me for "FREE," they too will get hoodwinked into paying $50.00 per month to play sub-par trashware/abandonware games and I will be paid a tiny monthly-micro commission for scamming my friends and family into being fleeced every month just like you all seem to enjoy doing?

I was promised retail games would be sent to me, I was promised retail orphans (potentially millions of them from Japan alone) placed under me, I was promised unlimited access to Stargate Worlds MMORPG, but instead all I got are crappy little flash-based games to play, which are available for free at ten-trillion other websites on the Internet, and a handful of crap-ware games nobody has ever heard of nor? plays, oh, not to forget, a $50.00 per month bill in the mail to pay for it. Sorry, I dont lie to people and sell them crap I cant even find value in. It is my sole purpose now to destroy EchoLoops by any means necessary. All you fucking scammers have burned people for your own selfish profits. Go die in a fire, Assfuckers! You will see me again as I work to destroy this scam from the face of the earth and prevent others from financial ruin like me.

The author of dirkpoulsen.com has written an excellent article. You have made your point and there is not much to argue about. It is like the following universal truth that you can not argue with: Money cannot buy happiness, however it can ask for the delivery of it; This does not mean it will get delivered. Thanks for the info.

Dirk,

I have been involved in mlm's before and I believe the pyramid comment is true to the mlms as well as regular business. Someone is going to always be at the bottom and those on the top get paid more.
No matter how you cut the cake you have to be active in no matter what you do. Some just require less effort.

I am on the social network side of mondelis. I signed up because of a friend. I have not tried to pursue it. Not that I don't think it will work I just haven't spent any time at it. The way I look at it if I am already doing it on facebook why not mondelis whether I get paid or not. If I get paid it is a bonus. I believe you can succeed at anything you put your mind to, again it may require more effort to the cause in some cases.

I don't believe anyone is going to convince anyone until there is understanding. That understanding doesn't come from getting hackles raised and getting upset. In life many people have doubted one thing or another and some have been huge successes others have not. If anyone can't come to an agreement agree to disagree.

I don't feel that it is in anyone's best interest to knock any other company. Anyone who is interested in any type of business needs to do their homework and decide if they are willing to do what it takes.
