		<description>Actually, most (if not all) MLMs do not require a VALID social security number to sign up. You can use any old number, and so long as the fake person stays under the company&#039;s reporting thresholds, no one will ever know it&#039;s a fake. And MLMs don&#039;t care whose credit card is used for the order... If the &quot;recruiter&quot; uses her own card with the explanation that the (fake) recruit doesn&#039;t have one, THE COMPANY DOES NOT CARE as long as they get their money.

Ask anyone in Mary Kay (long held up as one of the most ethical MLMs *gag*) - It is quite simple to make up recruits and it&#039;s done each and every day and the company allows it because each fake recruit brings in anywhere from $300 to $700 for the company. Money talks!</description>

		<description>Carlos,

10 fictitious identities? Try more like 19 including yourself. That will equal 10,000 sales points like the author points out. Not only that, the author points out that it can very likely be done especially when underground Chinese Nationals were able to supposedly fool USANA by creating accounts at the Chinese Merchant Bank or whatever it was called. ALSO, This method of jumping in ranks is not just a break even deal. As the author points out, if the distributor sold all 100 healthpaks at a 40% discount under the autoship price, that distributor would break even. HOWEVER, if the distributor sold all the HealthPaks for 30% lower than autoship price ($70 each), they would have made a positive $400.. 

If they undercut by 20%, the distributor would make $1400 profit. And if the distributor undercut by 10%, that person would make $2400... 

So while you try to poopoo this theory, it is actually profitable beyond what you try to portray. Not only that, it truly benefits the company more than what most people imagine. Rita Hui has been put on a pedestal for quite some time as USANA&#039;s HIGHEST RANKING DISTRIBUTOR. She surpassed even Collete Larsen by several Star Rankings. However, Rita Hui is hardy paid as much as Collete Larsen gets each year. 

You reveal something sleazy however. Quote &quot;If you do not explain your WHOLE downline that they must commit themselves to purchase regularly products, they will simply not do it.&quot;

What is this? Distributors &quot;MUST COMMIT THEMSELVES TO PURCHASE REGULARLY&quot;???? In otherwords, Purchase your token to participate in the pyramid scheme, and if everyone does this, The top 3% of current distributors will profit tremendously. But keep in mind, each distributor must bring in about 15 distributors into their downline who each purchase 100 sales points each month (like you say MUST BE DONE REGULARLY). This will allow that distributor to barely break even for their own purchases alone. 

They still aren&#039;t profiting until they bring in about 20 distributors into their downline. Thus, it proves the point of the loss rate and the pyramid scheme. 95% are going to NEVER PROFIT right off the bat because the compensation plan FIXES THIS LOSS RATE...

BTW, why should the distributor at the top &quot;explain&quot; to their downline that they must purchase the product regularly??? I thought that USANA&#039;s products were so magically wonderful that the product spoke for itself. Since the drop out rate is so incredibly high, and so many preferred customers are dropping out as well, then the products really aren&#039;t that great after all! If USANA was forced to reveal the rates at which distributors and preferred customers signed up and dropped out, then the company would go out of business because it proves nobody cares for the product, and it is all about purchasing tokens to participate in the pyramid scheme.....</description>

		<description>Well, on paper it seems fine. However, you will need about 10 fictious identities to make it work (names, DOB, SIN, Bank account / Credit cards details).

I guess you can buy these (a serious felony in most jurisdictions) but I`d be surprised if your 10,000 budget will support it.

As far as Ms Hui story, It&#039;s qui possible to have Diamond directors with low commissions.

If you do not explain your WHOLE downline that they must commit themselves to purchase regularly products, they will simply not do it.

		<description>Tracy, very interesting idea.  BTW, you should check out the ads running next to this article.  Google in its infamous wisdom is running dubious mlm ads.  Very funny.</description>
