As I said, Paul promised to send out my first SPAM package free, which he did, and that should get me a return of from 5 to 60 calls. He stated that he averaged 20 or more return calls each time. He used a company called E-Mail Pro. You know who owns E-Mail Pro? Paulís friend, Jim Roberts. Do you know who Jim Roberts is? Heís posted to the scam boards in defense of GPG. Well, he IS Paul Rawlins. How do I know that? Well, when you do a reverse trace on E-Mail Proís fax number (313 513 3844), which is the number you send your order to and then you send your cashierís check or money order to a PO box, you find that the fax machine receiving the fax is located at 29015 Florence, Garden City, MI 48135, which is PAULíS HOUSE. Actually, the number is listed as belonging to Robert L. Rawlins. Who is that? Well, thatís the person who lives at 29015 Florence.

In fact, Paul has a major identity problem. Heís either a multiple personality disorder (you might want to try this one as a defense at your trial, Paul), or heís quite the deceptive fellow. If youíve spent any time at all on these boards of late, youíll be familiar with Pro GPG names like Paul Rawlins, Dave Karmel, Fred (whose last name is never listed, but is given with his Hotmail email account as "Phlynstone"--I kid you not), Jim Roberts, and for a while, a guy named Mark Odell. In fact, Paul and Jim Roberts and Dave Karmel share the same 800# (you can verify this at smalloffice.comís scam board, that is, if you can get it to load). Well, as the person posting under the name of GPG Buster has shown using his computer wizardry and reverse tracing of internet hookups, these "individuals" are all one person, and they all come back to Paul Rawlins. What has allowed Paul to appear to be several people is the ready access he has to anonymous, private email accounts through Hotmail.com. They are aware of much of what heís been up to and are on to him, and I wouldnít be surprised if he comes under increasing scrutiny by them. Maybe theyíll even shut him down. Of course, he can always come back in another form. Just so you know, the following email addresses all go or have gone to him:

freenow9@hotmail.com (name: Mark Odell; status: shut off by Hotmail for impersonation) freedoms_ring@hotmail.com (name: Fred Phlynstone; status: under scrutiny) ncf_@hotmail.com (name: Paul Rawlins; status: clear) davekarmel@hotmail.com (name: Dave Karmel; status: under scrutiny) ncfassociation@juno.com (name: unknown; status: unknown; juno is the only non-hotmail account here, and itís the same as aol.com, which means he has to pay for the account) prrawlins@hotmail.com (name: Paul Rawlins; status: unknown) e_m_pro@hotmail.com (name: Jim Roberts; status: unknown) flyfreedom@hotmail.com may also go to him

So, Paul actually is making money off of me by pretending to be Jim and Tammy Roberts and posing as E-mail Pro. I never knew it. Heís making money from the GPG sale, and now from my marketing efforts, too.

Along the same lines, that turnkey marketing company called Team Spirit that sends out all those post cards and provides telephone lists of opportunity seekers to GPG people at hundreds of bucks a pop, is owned by none other than...BJ Bishop. Now why do you suppose these people, who are claiming to make major major dollars with GPG, have these sidelight businesses? And why are these sidelight businesses all integrally involved in the marketing itself--they support the pyramidís continuance? Iíd bet that much, maybe the majority, of BJís income is from Team Spiritís revenues, where those 7000 or so GPGers send a lot of money to get their leads each week. More incestuous stuff.

Anyway, back to SPAM. I sent out 5 or 6 SPAM blasts during my GPG time. I never got back more than 6 or 8 calls, and usually I got 2 or 3. These were not close to Paulís promised numbers. And these are the same less than stellar results another GPGer told me he has gotten using E-mail Pro.

Also, I noticed in the GPG code of ethics that SPAMMING is a no-no; actually itís not in the ethics code on the application, itís on the list of approved vendors, and I quote "GPG does NOT authorize: Internet, Web Pages, WWW Sites, Radio Ads or spots, television, infomercials, or fax-blasting. Be sure to Review and follow item #11 in the GPG ethics of operation." I never asked Paul about that because I wanted to believe that he was not violating the code, and so I rationalized my way out of it by thinking that because the GPG name is not used in the ad itself, it must be ok. I was wrong. So is Paul.

Plus, if youíre contacted via email, or a fax, thatís against the rules. Why? Iím not certain, but Iíd bet it has to do with something analogous to mail fraud. It may be that using the internet, which is a federally managed wilderness, for fraud could be a federal crime. There are plenty of web pages out there, too, that are unauthorized. Havenít seen too many that have been taken down. So, how much stock do you want to put in GPGís or GPGersí ethics?

The other thing I thought of is this: If Keith Anderson has truly discovered the truth about the government conspiracy that we can attribute rust and cancer to as well as excessive taxation, then by all means get on the radio and TV when you have a chance and expose it. But GPG doesnít want to do that. Why? Because they know they might get in BIGGER trouble than they can handle, the scam gets ended, and there goes the bucks. Itís much easier to scam people one at a time. Massive general advertising as opposed to massive personal advertising is much more risky because you can be held accountable by a society at large instead of by isolated individuals.

Thereís more. When I got frustrated, I called Paul and weíd go over the scripts. Heíd tell me that I was struggling because I didnít sound "confident enough," and that I needed to "lower your voice, so people will respond to you more as an authority." Great. Maybe I didnít sound as confident as I should, but I doubt that seriously. But those were the only reasons I wasnít racking up sales left and right, he said. So how come all the other people, some with funny accents and whatnot, were supposedly successful? If itís all the scripts like he says, then, again, how I say whatís scripted shouldnít be too important.

Another thing that grew to bother me about working with Paul was that he was almost always available. Huh? Whyís that a problem? Simple. If heís got this huge organization of people that he has sponsored and is making that 2 to 5 sales a week through his pay panels, donít you think that thereíd be a lot of times that heíd be tied up 3-waying with other people? But he wasnít. He wasnít busy enough.

Finally, the fact that Paul sent me to work with companies that werenít on the approved vendors list is problematic, especially when you consider what these companies did for him.

Iíve already shown that he owns E-Mail Pro. Access Service Network was the other non-approved company he directed me to. Basically, Access is itself a networking company that builds downlines for patrons, and also provides leads, 800 #s (thatís the company that owns the 800# Paul advertises with), and other goodies. I was placed under Paul in Access, and so he made a commission on my monthly fees for leads. He told me he made as much as $1400 a month from Access. Not bad. But again, if he is making so much with GPG, why would that matter that much to him? If Paul does make the money he claims, then I wouldíve thought heíd be more willing to underwrite the startup costs for people who are motivated but have limited money and who are going to have to qualify through him anyway. It would be smart to keep people going since theyíre going to pay him with their first two sales, unless of course, the vast majority of people canít do it and heíd lose money. Paul is not dumb, even if he doesnít spell too well.

One more thing about Paul. He got involved in GPG around June of 1996, and the GPG mantra is financial freedom in 2 years. So, Paul should be financially independent forever by June of this year, give or take a month or two, and so he should be getting ready to gear down. Now, he says that GPG is so much fun (??) that he may not want to quit (or alternatively, heís very concerned with freeing the masses from governmental tyranny--so why not run for public office? Youíve got the money to finance a solid campaign, so make a difference where it really counts--How about Rawlins and Anderson in 2001 for president?). Of course, it may be that heís not making quite as much as he says. Why not retire and move to a paradise? Garden City isnít Eden, yíknow. I do recall him saying something about a new house being built on Lake Erie maybe, but I donít know much more than that.

Enough about Paul. Heís a real scoundrel, Iím sorry to say. If you do join GPG, donít join with him.

Why is GPG doomed?

There are several factors all working together even now to terminate GPG.

1) Market saturation. As with all network business, the issue of market saturation must be noted. Legitimate companies, like Amway, despite a lot of their bad press, fundamentally operate off of product sales and repeat business, and so market saturation is less of a problem for them because the money is first in the products. With networking programs that place their major emphasis on the business, market saturation is a killer.

For a first-class explanation of why market saturation will suffocate GPG and like pyramid-based businesses, see http://www.vandruff.com/mlm.html (this site also has a truckload of excellent links on network businesses).

GPG is becoming well-known. The vast majority of people who would do it have, and those who wouldnít have done it have turned it down. Many of the prospects I talked to were either already aware of GPG or were not business opportunity seekers any longer. Just last Friday, I took a quick look at the USA Today classifieds, and I counted at least 5 or 6 ads with GPG 800#s in the first two columns. I didnít even finish the section. The point is, thereís no shortage of people trying to get prospects into the system. All you GPG people have enough competition amongst yourselves, even if there are only 7000 or so of you, because youíre all attempting to sell to the same market.

2) Lousy product--huge markup, no real value. As I indicated earlier, my response to the Gateway to Financial Freedom is less than enthusiastic. I wasnít amazed, and it certainly didnít "rock my world and blow my socks off and leave my toes smokiní!"

The course contains some very interesting and provocative information on audiotape, and it will open your eyes to some things most folks donít know. Keith Anderson is interesting to listen to, and he makes some very good points about taxation, trusts, and American government and history. But he also gets a bit loopy-sounding at times, and his use of the Bible to support some of his ideas is just plain bad hermeneutics. You canít just pull out of scripture whatever you want it to say. Also, when I first got the course, I thought it needed to be spiffied up a bit; it is certainly not as sharp in appearance as it could be. For instance, the workbook is not very useful--it doesn't correspond to the tapesí contents at several places. I chalked my reaction up to the thought that as an academic, my expectations of professional appearance may be a tad higher than most peopleís. And I didn't want to think that I was making a big mistake. Turns out I did and now Iím stuck with these lovely tapes that Iíd say are worth maybe $50 or $100 (and what makes me not an industry professional?).

The fact that there is a 90% profit on the product makes no sense at all. Why would Anderson accept 10% of the proceeds (i.e., $125) if it were really valued at $7000 to $10,000? Simple. The tapes are incomplete alone. Without the consultations you canít really do anything except get mad at the government and hopefully get all evangelical about passing on this wonderful knowledge. And while the consultations are free, it is going to cost you a couple of thousand dollars to actually set up your little offshore trust or whatever you want to do. Andersonís not dumb, either. He knows heís going to make some money from some GPG people, and he also knows heíll make money elsewhere, too. He also knows heís not responsible for what people do with the knowledge he gives them, so if itís wrong, itís not his problem. Címon, donít you think if this guy was truly taxation teflon heíd be on 60 Minutes and the cover of Time? Still, heís a relative unknown.

So, if you get sold with the line that even if you never market this program, youíll still save a boatload in taxes, youíre getting scammed unless youíre already making major bucks. Donít think that youíll be able to benefit from the tax advice if you have a less than 6 figure income outside of GPG right now.

OK, so why would the thing cost $1250? Because thatís how much people would be willing and able to pay to have the shot at the "business opportunity of a lifetime." $1250 seems to be the magic number, and Iíd bet thereís marketing research out there to support its use. More than that, and you price yourself out of a huge portion of the market. Less than that, you donít make enough to cover the expense of marketing it and you donít fully take advantage of peopleís dreams of financial independence. In other words, thatís as much as you can get. Plus, it does give an air of legitimacy to the whole thing along the lines of "if Iím being asked to put up some serious money, it MUST be legitimate; nobody has the gall to scam at that level." Oh, but they do, indeed they do.

Plus, the 10 day guarantee would be an even bigger problem. 10 days is simply not adequate time to review 12 hours of tape. GPG knows that and counts on it, plus youíre too busy getting ready to market it to review the tapes, so you get stuck. That generates...

3) Crummy P.R. Anyone doing an internet search for GPG, or scams, or fraud, or network/mlm businesses will very quickly turn up a lot of dirt on GPG. Its reputation is flagging and most of the comparatively few people who would be susceptible to join are more able to reconsider. The gravy train is slowing very quickly.

4) Legal threat. This is the other nasty. With all the hubbub and noise being generated by scammed people, several state AGís are sniffing around GPG a lot. Itís probably only a matter of time before itís labeled as illegal and then itís time to move on. I wouldnít be too surprised, too, if the feds decided to take a close look at a lot of these newly formed offshore trusts that were formerly taxpayers. Hanging your life in Keith Andersonís hands might be a risky thing to do.

Now, GPGers like to say that theyíre perfectly legal and BBBís and Attorneys General are ok with them and they donít worry about legal problems. Well, unfortunately, they may have a point here. This is where being a member of an association is a handy thing. Instead of worrying about legal issues that apply to companies, GPG says itís an association and sidesteps all of that. So do the individual associates. Most BBBís and AGís donít carefully scrutinize individuals working out of their homes who donít get business licenses. Fortunately, though, with all the noise about GPGís fraudulence being brought to their attention, state AGís may be rethinking their standard policies. Weíll see.

5) Slippery leaders and shadowy past. Some interesting history about GPG and its leaders, from MLM Insider magazine: GPGís marketing structure got off the ground in 1995 (so hereís that 3 year proven track record of success) with a program called "Commonwealth," which combined a marketing strategy (read pyramid) called "Fortune in Motion" with a tape-based product out of the 1980s called "Challenger" from a company called Wisdom, which was owned by Fred Varygen. It was Canadian in origin, and it quickly caught the attention of the Canadian authorities as a pyramid scam, but not before it was able to get picked up in the US and take off. While Mr. Varygen was in jail in Canada, his disciple, Leslie Fleiger, marketed his product out of San Diego. After a lawsuit against Fleiger forced him to quit, the group changed leaders and locations and names, but not the basic marketing setup. The new group, now out of LA, called itself Delphin and had rewritten materials, but basically the same focus on tax avoidance and whatnot. Shortly after that, another split occurred and a group of Delphin people launched Investorís International (II). Apparently here is where Dave Struckman and Dan Anderson, the founders of GPG, got involved in leadership. This also would have been about the time when Paul Rawlins got in at the ground level. After IIís revamped products, which now were including more dubious information on offshore investing, etc., and their author, "Dr. Rudolph Von Lin," were exposed as totally fraudulent, another split occurred, with Struckman and Anderson coming up with GPG out of Renton, WA. They took a lot of II people with them. It has the same pyramid marketing structure, and a lot of the same focus on taxation, trusts, offshore investing, etc. And the price structure has not changed since Commonwealth. Everything has been $1250.

Finally, a clarification about GPGís history from someone familiar with Dave and Dan. After I posted my original essay, I was contacted by a person from Delphin, who corrected some of the above, saying (and since I donít want to represent them either positively or negatively, I edited her message [where it says "snip"] to include only the parts salient to GPG): ______________________ I am with Delfin International and have been since October of 1995. Some of the test marketing phase of Delfin was during the "Commonwealth" days and Fred Varygen was the author of that course "The Commonwealth Teachings". There were a group of people involved with Commonwealth under Fred's "management" or should I say "lack of it". As with many businesses when they are starting, someone will call the Attorney General's office to see what they can find out. When that happens the AG contacts the company and wants details on the marketing plan, the compensation etc. etc. Usually the company's attorneys respond and clarify everything and the AG makes a ruling. Fred had no attorney's and ignored the letters from the AG's - making comments like "you have 49 other states to market in, don't worry about that one. He never installed a computer system and had no way to track who was qualified and who wasn't. The top leaders at that time saw what was going on, talked to Fred on numerous occasions and told him that they would leave if he didn't "take care of business". Fred refused and Leslie was commissioned to develop another product based on his extensive background in the Personal Growth/Transformational arena. Leslie developed a new product. (snip)

The material is very powerful.

There was a court case and Leslie won. I don't know all the specifics. In October of 1995, Delfin International was Incorporated in the US and International expansion was planned. Delfin has a team of corporate lawyers the makes sure that every "t" is crossed and every "i" is dotted.

Delfin's products never have and never will have anything to do with taxes, trusts or any financial issues. (snip)

Our marketing plan was copied by Dave and Dan when they were kicked out of Delfin.

Our World Web Address is: http://www.delfinworld.com/

How do I know all this - well when Dave was in Delfin, he was my Phase 2 Executive. While I was at a Phase 2 event in Miami FL, he got on a Delfin Conference Call and told everyone on it that Delfin was going down and they needed to follow him to Investors International. He claimed that people were more interested in taxes and financial issues than they were in Personal Growth. He was kicked out of Delfin at that time.

That was the best thing that could have happened for Delfin - sort of like the "sifting of the wheat and the tares". Most of the folks who were only in it for the money followed him, and Delfin really changed for the better.

In Delfin, Dave did the same things he's doing in Global. I had to buy Prostep leads - an MLM - he was one of the top produces in that MLM I found out later, and the leads weren't any good. He recommended that you send out 500 post cards a week - His wife Laura was one of the only people doing post cards. So he made money on the post cards and the leads he sold with the post cards. The voice mail company he recommended was paying him referral commissions. Even the long distance company he recommended was an MLM, and he was at the top. My boyfriend was in telecommunications and Dave was trying to negotiate a deal where he received several cents per minute on all the Delfin conference calls.

One thing I can say for him, is he knows how to make money - from everything!

___________________

Now that GPG is in increasingly hot water, and in fact was booted out of Washington state, it may be about time to move on again before it gets uglier and they get caught. Hereís where several new creatures have come along:

A) The Financial Freedom Group

B) The Freedom Prosperity Group

Both of these "groups" have sprung up literally in the last couple of weeks. The first one is marketing "The Pathway to Financial Freedom" by none other than Keith Anderson. Itís a 12 hour home study course....you get the idea. The other one is marketing the same material without any names mentioned, including Andersonís or "...Financial Freedom." Same scam, different peripherals.

With this sort of creativity, Iíd suggest a contest for most innovative name for a "morphed" GPG. Hereís a few I can just imagine:

The Global Group for Financial Prosperity
The Global Financial Prosperity Group
The Financial Prosperity Freedom Group
The Freedom Prosperity Financial Group
The Freedom Financial Group for Global Prosperity

or (my personal favorite)

Scammers ëR Us

C) Free Enterprise International Systems. According to a member of this group that has contacted me, "We used to be called Free Enterprise Club but changed our name to Free Enterprise International Systems. Free was started by a Bud Adams (I think) back in July 97. A lot has changed since then, but we are basically a MLM that offers some of the same things Global does. We are not an offshoot of Global, and it bothers me to know that some people think we are. None of the people that were heading Global are in Free, nor would we want them. The only reason I heard of your post at SmallOffice was a G2 Director read it and got in touch with me to find out about Free. I have web sites up, and ads all over the place, so I'm easy to find! I hope this has helped clear up any mis-conceptions you have about Free. As I stated before, we do have ex-Global people in Free, but that is as close as it gets."

Iíd encourage you to check out other sources of information on this group before you make a decision.

6) Questionable future. Since GPG is obviously not quite as strong as it would like everyone to believe, it makes sense that its future is uncertain. If itís legitimate, then it should be able to withstand some controversy on the web and stand on its own for quite some time. If not, then some of these new GPG mutations mentioned above make perfect sense. If Dave and Dan and whoever are as smart as theyíre supposed to be (and apparently are, seeing as how theyíre not in jail yet), youíd be smart to watch them jump ship onto something else that will make money. In short, another scheme.

Itís been stated on the scam board just a few days ago by a GPG person that there will be an official GPG website in the next 6 weeks. Really. Iíll believe it when I see it. I remember asking both BJ Bishop and Kenny Law about the promised GPG web page. This was in October or November. There was a statement made from the big guys--Dave and Dan--that no associates were to have their own web pages and that GPG would have its own official web page very soon, in the next couple of weeks. Well...here it is March, and still no official website? And now thereís going to be one in the next 6 weeks. Weíll see.

Ok, Iím just about done. I hope this has been informative.

But before I call it a day, Iím going to include some useful information for those of you about to go through the system.

Global Scripts Weíd Like to See--That Is, Honest Ones

[Letís set the stage: Youíve received or seen an advertisement for a business opportunity; it could be via e-mail, it could be a postcard, it could be a cold call, it could be an unsolicited fax, or you might have even seen a sign by the side of the road or answered a classified ad in a newspaper. All of them have in common the promise of a serious income, like $2001-$5000 a week, $10000 a month, or something equally impressive, no information about who or what is sponsoring the ad, and an invitation to call an 800# with a 4 digit extension. The number might be 1 800 322-6169, 1 800 784-1710, 1 800 995-0796, or another toll-free number. So you call and listen to a short message that talks about a wealth-building program, or it asks you to answer yes or no to a couple of questions, or it includes a personal testimony about someone searching for and finding the "true, real" opportunity that you yourself are probably looking for, and then you hear some income figures given that really sound great. So you leave your name, your phone number twice with area code, and the best time to reach you, and then you wait for the call back. And in a short time, you do get a call. And hereís where the curtain opens...]

(WORDS IN PARENTHESES IN ALL CAPS INDICATE TRUTH; OF COURSE, YOUR USE OF THEM AS A GPG ASSOCIATE IS ENTIRELY OPTIONAL; FOR BEST SCAMMING RESULTS, STICK TO THE SCRIPTS--THEY DO THE LYING FOR YOU! BUT YOUíLL PROBABLY HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO LIE, TOO, SO DONíT DESPAIR, YOUíLL GET TO DO YOUR PART)

Hi, may I speak to (SUCKER)?

Hello, my name is (first & last name) and Iím calling you from (city and state).

Iím returning your call in regards to the (UNBELIEVABLE, NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE, DESIGNED TO MAKE YOUR HEART FLUTTER INCOME) ad you answered. You called my 800 number and listened to a 2 minute recorded message about a business opportunity (THAT TOLD YOU NOTHING ABOUT IT EXCEPT HOW ORDINARY I AM, HOW LONG IíVE BEEN SEARCHING FOR A LEGITIMATE BUSINESS, ETC., AND HOW IíM NOW MAKING SO MUCH MONEY I CANíT EVEN SEE STRAIGHT) thatís about making $5000 a week or more (IN YOUR WILDEST DREAMS); do you remember that (AND I DONíT REALLY CARE IF YOU DO, BECAUSE NOW THAT IíVE GOT YOU ON THE PHONE, IíM GONNA TELL YOU WHAT I WANT YOU TO KNOW AND EVERYTHING YOU EVER WANTED TO HEAR)?

Do you have a few minutes (SO I CAN BEGIN TO WRAP MY DECEITFUL TENTACLES AROUND YOU WITH AMAZING PROMISES THAT IN ALL LIKELIHOOD YOUíLL NEVER OBTAIN)?

Great.

(SUCKER), Iím with the Global Prosperity Group. Weíre a group of like-minded entrepreneurs (ACTUALLY, WEíRE A BUNCH OF PEOPLE DIVIDED INTO TWO GROUPS--ORDINARY SCHMOES WHOíVE BEEN SCAMMED WHO ARE TRYING TO DO WHAT WEíRE TOLD TO MAKE MONEY AND HAVENíT YET REALIZED THIS IS A SCAM SO WEíLL TRY TO BE HONEST, AND DELIBERATELY DECEITFUL RUBES WHO HAVE BEEN SUCCESSFUL AT SCAMMING PEOPLE AND KNOW THAT WHAT WE DO IS IMMORAL AND UNETHICAL AND IN SOME STATES ILLEGAL BUT DO IT ANYWAY) who have joined forces and formed an association (WE USED TO BE A COMPANY, BUT THAT LEFT US OPEN TO TOO MANY POTENTIAL LEGAL PROBLEMS, SO NOW WEíRE CALLING OURSELVES AN ASSOCIATION, WHICH DOESNíT REALLY TELL YOU ANYTHING EITHER). Weíve done this for many reasons really, the strength of numbers (LIKE THE MULTI-HEADED HYDRA OF GREEK MYTHOLOGY), security (SO THAT WE CAN SCATTER LIKE ROACHES WHEN THE LIGHTS COME ON AND HOPE FOR THE BEST CHANCE OF AVOIDING GETTING STEPPED ON), longevity (SO THAT WE CAN WORK THIS SCAM UNTIL ITíS TOTALLY EXHAUSTED THE POTENTIAL MARKET FOR SUCKERS AND THEN WEíLL MOVE ON TO SOMETHING EQUALLY HEINOUS), but most of all, prosperity for all of us (WELL, ACTUALLY, FOR JUST A VERY FEW OF US, BUT YOU DONíT NEED TO KNOW THAT AT THIS POINT; WAIT TILL YOUíRE IN AND HAVE BLOWN A LOT OF MONEY AND THEN YOUíLL KNOW FOR SURE), and (SUCKER), it has worked very well for over three years (WELL, THATíS NOT REALLY TRUE, BUT THEN YOUíD HAVE TO KNOW THE GREASY HISTORY ABOUT US AND OUR FOUNDERS, DAVE STRUCKMAN AND DAN ANDERSON, AND HOW THEYíVE MOVED FROM SCAM TO SCAM, AND HOW WEíRE COUNTING THE BEGINNING OF OUR MARKETING STRUCTURE WITH A FRAUDULENT CANADIAN COMPANY AS THE START OF OUR GROUP, EVEN THOUGH OUR PRESENT ORGANIZATION IS LESS THAN TWO YEARS OLD AND OUR PRODUCT IS ONLY THE MOST RECENT IN A STRING OF DUBIOUS "PRODUCTS"). Weíre looking for a few (WELL, REALLY AS MANY AS POSSIBLE, BUT WE DONíT WANT TO SOUND GREEDY) quality people (DEFINED AS SUSCEPTIBLE TO AMAZING PROMISES OF INCOME AND WHO ARE WILLING TO FORK OUT ABOUT $1500 BY TOMORROW NIGHT) to join our marketing team (WELL, REALLY TO BUY OUR PRODUCT AS THE RIGHT TO JOIN THE MARKETING TEAM, BECAUSE THATíS HOW YOU MAKE YOUR MONEY; BUT I WONíT TRY TO SELL YOU THE PRODUCT ITSELF BECAUSE YOUíD VERY LIKELY NOT BE NEARLY AS INTERESTED IN IT AS YOU ARE IN MAKING BIG DOLLARS). First, let me say that this is definitely not Multi-Level Marketing (WHICH YOU SHOULD THINK IS SYNONYMOUS WITH FAILURE WHEREAS WE ARE SYNONYMOUS WITH TRUE SUCCESS, AND YOU CAN BEGIN TO DROP YOUR NATURAL SKEPTICISM BECAUSE MANY HOME BUSINESSES ARE MLM; WHAT WE REALLY ARE IS A PYRAMID SCAM MASQUERADING AS A PRODUCT-DRIVEN BUSINESS). All the work we do is done over the phone (SO WEíRE VERY HARD TO TRACE, AND ALMOST NEVER LOCAL, AND ITíS VERY EASY TO LIE TO A FACELESS VOICE ON THE OTHER END OF THE LINE, A LITTLE LIKE THE PILOTS OF BOMBERS WHO NEVER HAVE TO SEE THE DAMAGE THEY CAUSE IN DOING WHAT THEY DO), so moderate people skills are required (THATíS SO YOU THINK THAT WE WILL TURN AWAY PEOPLE WHO DONíT HAVE SOME LEVEL OF SKILL, AS IF WEíRE SOMEWHAT SELECTIVE, BUT WEíRE REALLY WILLING TO TAKE ANYONE DUMB ENOUGH TO SEND US MONEY EVEN IF WE KNOW THEYíRE AS WELL SUITED TO THIS AS A PORCUPINE IN A BALLOON FACTORY).

Would it be OK if I started our conversation (AND MADE SURE YOU DIDNíT GET TO ASK ANY RELEVANT QUESTIONS) by asking you a couple of very important questions (IF YOU SAY NO, YOUíLL FEEL IMPOLITE, AND I WANT TO DO THIS ENTIRELY ON MY TERMS; IF YOU DO ASK ME ANY SERIOUS QUESTIONS, I MAY RESPOND BY TELLING YOU THAT I DONíT ANSWER QUESTIONS AND NEITHER WOULD YOU, BUT THAT MIGHT PUT YOU OFF, SO I MIGHT TELL YOU THAT YOU ARE ASKING A REALLY GOOD QUESTION AND IíM EVEN GONNA WRITE IT DOWN, AND IíLL MAKE SURE YOU GET AN ANSWER BEFORE WEíRE ALL DONE; IíM THINKING THAT, HOPEFULLY, YOUR QUESTIONS WILL LOSE SOME OF THEIR IMPORTANCE ONCE IíVE TURNED YOU ON TO THE PROMISE OF HUGE AMOUNTS OF INCOME YOUíRE ABOUT TO MAKE IN THE VERY NEAR FUTURE)?

1. Do you have access to a fax machine (SO THAT YOUíLL BEGIN GETTING USED TO ANSWERING QUESTIONS AND RESPONDING TO MY LEAD, AND SO I KNOW HOW DIFFICULT IT MAY BE TO GET MY PROPOGANDA IN YOUR HANDS THUS INCREASING THE AMOUNT OF TIME YOU HAVE TO THINK AND RECONSIDER ALL THE HYPE YOUíLL BE HEARING SHORTLY)?

2. Iím taking for granted that since you did respond, you are seriously looking for a good business opportunity. Is that correct (MEANING YOUíRE PRETTY MOTIVATED SO I CAN SNOW YOU ALL THE MORE EASILY)?

3. What do you do for a living (SO THAT I CAN DECIDE WHETHER YOU COULD SEE THROUGH ME OR POSE A THREAT TO ME BECAUSE YOU KNOW THE LAW OR HAVE BUSINESS EXPERIENCE THATíLL EXPOSE THE PYRAMID FOUNDATION WE HAVE; PLUS IíLL GET A SENSE OF HOW INTELLIGENT AND EDUCATED YOU ARE, AND HOW MUCH MONEY YOU HAVE)? How long have do you done that? Has it been good to you (I HOPE NOT! THAT WAY I CAN CAPITALIZE ON YOUR DISSATISFACTION WHICHíLL MAKE THE FORTHCOMING PROMISES ALL THE MORE ATTRACTIVE TO YOU)?

4. Let me ask you this, (SUCKER). If you were to look at a new opportunity, what would be a determining factor for you? In other words, what qualities would be important or appealing to you (SO LIKE, HOW DESPERATE FOR INCOME ARE YOU AND WHAT AM I GONNA HAVE TO SAY TO YOU IN THE FORM OF A PROMISE TO CONVINCE YOU THIS IS WHAT YOUíRE LOOKING FOR? GIVE ME THE CLOSING POINTS OF THE DEAL FOR ME, PLEASE)?

5. You listened to my message regarding earning $5000 or more per week. How much money would YOU like to earn (BECAUSE ITíS OK TO BE GREEDY, UNLESS OF COURSE THIS DOESNíT WORK FOR YOU, AND THEN IíLL BLAME YOUR LACK OF SUCCESS ON YOU BECAUSE YOUíRE BEING GREEDY)?

6. I am looking for people who want to earn $20,000 per month or more, minimum (IF THAT DOESNíT GRAB YOU, THEN YOUíVE GOT TO BE DEAD; NEVER MIND THAT I PROBABLY DONíT MAKE THAT AND NEVER WILL, AND THE LIKELIHOOD OF YOUR MAKING THAT IS SOMEWHERE BETWEEN WINNING THE LOTTERY AND GETTING STRUCK BY LIGHTNING). Would you fit into that category?

OPTIONAL: Do you feel that you are money motivated (WOULD YOU SELL YOUR MOTHER TO MAKE A BUCK? AS A MATTER OF FACT, YOU MIGHT DO JUST THAT IN THIS BUSINESS)? Do you consider yourself a worker (BECAUSE THIS SOUNDS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE, I NEED TO MAKE IT SOUND LEGITIMATE BY MENTIONING SOMETHING ABOUT WORK; HOPEFULLY, THOUGH, YOUíRE ALREADY SO ENTICED BY THE DOLLAR SIGNS THAT I DONíT HAVE TO MENTION THIS, AND THATíS WHY ITíS OPTIONAL)?

7. What kind of hours are you putting into your current job/career (WHATEVER YOU SAY IíLL USE--IF YOU SAY TOO MANY, IíLL TELL YOU HOW THATíLL CHANGE REAL FAST WITH GPG AND HOW YOUíLL BE ABLE TO QUIT YOUR NASTY OLí JOB IN THE NEXT COUPLE MONTHS OR SO; IF YOU SAY NOT TOO MANY, IíLL SAY IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU EVEN HAVE SOME TIME RIGHT NOW AVAILABLE TO POUR INTO A NEW BUSINESS, ISNíT THAT GREAT? ALL THE MORE REASON TO GET STARTED YESTERDAY!)?

8. If the right opportunity came along, where you felt you would want to get involved, what kind of hours would you be able to put into that opportunity (THIS IS SUPPOSED TO SOUND LIKE AN INTERVIEW IN WHICH I MAKE SURE YOUíLL DO SOME WORK HERE, BUT THE FACT IS THAT WHATEVER YOU SAY HERE IíLL USE, TOO--IF YOU SAY YOU DONíT HAVE MUCH TIME, IíLL SAY THATíS OK, BECAUSE THIS IS DESIGNED FOR PEOPLE TO BE SUCCESSFUL PART-TIME; IF YOU SAY YOU HAVE A LOT OF TIME, IíLL SAY THATíS GREAT BECAUSE YOUíLL MAKE BIG MONEY ALL THE FASTER.)?

(SUCKER), what we have to offer here is a traditional business (ITíS NOT, BUT I HOPE YOU DONíT REALLY EVEN KNOW WHAT A TRADITIONAL BUSINESS IS; I MAY NOT EVEN KNOW WHAT IT IS, BUT IT MAKES ME SOUND SMART). It is a very real business (THAT IíM NOT GOING TO TELL YOU ABOUT UNTIL YOUíRE WELL INTO THE DEPTHS OF MY CLUTCHES, AND EVEN THEN IíM NOT GONNA TELL YOU MUCH BECAUSE THEREíS NOT MUCH TO TELL), and as you know, with any real business, there would be a startup cost. But if I could show you how to earn the amount of money weíre talking about (THIS IS DESIGNED TO BE CONFUSING) and you could see clearly that this opportunity could put you into a $10,000 a month lifestyle (AND WHAT PERSON WOULDNíT WANT TO DO THAT?), starting with the very first month and increasing thereafter (OR POSSIBLY BY YOUR 73RD MONTH OR BY THE TIME YOUíRE BROKE, WHICHEVER COMES FIRST), do you have $1500 that you could invest into your future (WHICH IS A GROSS UNDERSTATEMENT ECAUSE IíM NOT TELLING YOU ABOUT ALL THE REST OF THE FRONT-LOADED EXPENSES INVOLVED)?

IF THEY SAY NO (RATS!): Keep in mind that Iím not asking you for a penny right now (BUT YOU CAN BET YOUR LITTLE BLUE BOOTIES IíM GONNA BEFORE ALLíS SAID AND DONE HERE). In fact, let me rephrase that question, if I may. If after you take a good, hard look at what we have to offer (THAT IS, ONLY WHAT WEíLL TELL YOU BECAUSE WEíRE NOT GONNA OFFER YOU INDEPENDENT REFERENCES OR ANYTHING, AND IF YOU ASK, WEíLL GO ON AND ON ABOUT RESPECTING AND PRIZING PRIVACY AND WHATNOT), and you realize that this is the moneymaker that Iím telling you it is (IN OTHER WORDS, IíVE SNOWED YOU), and you have a burning desire to get involved (YOUíRE ALREADY DREAMING OF YOUR PROMISED NEWFOUND FABULOUS WEALTH), would the money be any problem for you? How would you get the money (BECAUSE THATíS WHAT IíM REALLY INTERESTED IN--YOU GOTTA PAY TO PLAY, YíKNOW; AND NO, YOU CANíT FINANCE IT OR DO ANYTHING THAT MIGHT NOT BE A FULL PRICE MOVE; I WANT ALL YOUR MONEY RIGHT NOW, SO THAT BY THE TIME YOU REALIZE YOUíVE BEEN HAD, ITíS TOO LATE AND IíVE GOT IT)?

IF THEY SAY YES (ALRIGHT!!! IíVE GOT A LIVE ONE, HERE!): Great, the purpose of this call is to get you fully educated (WELL NOT REALLY, BUT IT SOUNDS GOOD, AND IíM REALLY NOT GOING TO GET YOU EDUCATED, IíM JUST GOING TO KEEP ON GIVING YOU PROMISES OF THE MOON AND STARS) on what this opportunity represents and to get you all of the information (ALL THE INFORMATION I THINK IS IMPORTANT, NOT ALL THE INFORMATION PERIOD). But before I do that, I want to make sure that you are 100% serious and 100% interested in what we have to offer here (I NEED TO GET YOU CRANKED UP A LITTLE MORE AND ALSO MAKE SURE YOUíRE NOT GOING TO LEAVE ME WITH A PHONE BILL AND WASTED TIME). I want you to call and listen to a brief, 9 minute introduction to this business. Do you have a pen handy? Great, that number is 1-904-654-7727, extension 3761. Itís going to explain a little (VERY LITTLE) about our association, our product, and how you go about making money here (WITHOUT REVEALING THE PYRAMID; THAT COMES LATER, AFTER YOUíRE SWIMMING IN VISIONS OF FINANCIAL INDEPENDENCE). Do you have 9 minutes right now? Great, Iíll call you back in about 12 minutes.

Now, I'm going leave you with one thought here: I'm a relative newcomer to the business (ACTUALLY, YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW LONG IíVE BEEN INVOLVED; I MAY HAVE BEEN IN FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS, OR I MAY HAVE BEEN DOING THIS FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS, AND THATíS STILL A RELATIVE NEWCOMER IN COSMIC OR GEOLOGICAL TERMS; IF YOU ASK ME, IíLL PROBABLY BE PRETTY VAGUE UNLESS IíM REALLY NEW AND DONíT KNOW ANY BETTER) and I'm already working with people making $50,000 a month (LIKE, 3 OF THEM) and more (NONE OF WHOM IíVE EVER MET NOR VERIFIED THEIR INCOME, UNLESS IíVE BEEN TO G2, WHICH MEANS IíM PROBABLY NOT A NEWCOMER, BUT DONíT WORRY ABOUT THAT NOW), and I'm doing quite well (AND I CAN DEFINE THAT HOWEVER--WELL MIGHT MEAN IíVE TALKED TO TWENTY PEOPLE, OR IT COULD MEAN IíVE MADE MONEY, BUT YOUíLL NEVER KNOW FOR SURE). My point is this, we have a level playing field here (WELL, ITíS NOT REALLY LEVEL, ITíS MORE LIKE UPHILL EACH WAY BECAUSE THE LONGER THIS SCAM GOES ON, THE MORE SUCKERS WE BRING IN, THE MORE THE MARKET GETS SATURATED, THE FEWER PROSPECTS THERE ARE AVAILABLE, PLUS ALL OF THE GROWING NEGATIVE PR ON GPG MEANS THAT ITíS GONNA GET HARDER AND HARDER TO RECRUIT NEW PEOPLE, BUT IF YOU RAISE THAT ISSUE IíLL ASSURE YOU THINGS ARE STILL AT THE GROUND LEVEL--HECK, WE HAVENíT EVEN HAD A G3 SEMINAR YET, SO THINGS ARE DEFINITELY ON THE WAY UP). Each and everyone of us has the same opportunity (EXCEPT FOR YOU FOLKS GETTING IN NOW BECAUSE LIKE I SAID THERE ARE FEWER AND FEWER PEOPLE WHO HAVENíT HEARD OF US, BUT TAKE HEART, WE ARE AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY SCAM). Listen to that 9 min. call intently (ESPECIALLY HOW THE SYSTEM DOES ALL THE SELLING FOR YOU AND HOW WE HAVE PEOPLE MAKING FIVE AND SIX FIGURE MONTHLY INCOMES; NEVER MIND THAT ITíS ALL INTENDED TO SELL YOU ON THE BUSINESS BY PROMISING YOU AN INCOME YOUíLL MOST LIKELY NEVER ACHIEVE), and Iíll call you back in 12 minutes and we'll just take this one step at a time, fair enough (SO YOU CAN CONTINUE TO LEAVE YOUR GUARD DOWN LONG ENOUGH FOR ME TO GET YOUR DOUGH)?

AFTER THE 9 MINUTE CALL
OK, (SUCKER), that was it. Pretty interesting isnít it (ESPECIALLY SINCE YOU STILL DONíT REALLY KNOW VERY MUCH)? Let me ask you, (SUCKER), are you serious enough and interested enough to get a deeper understanding (AM I GETTING UNDER YOUR SKIN? ARE YOU HOOKED? ARE THERE DOLLAR SIGNS IN YOUR EYES??)? Fantastic! Now the next step (INTO THE TRAP) for you is to listen in on one of our live and interactive conference calls. We hold these calls several times daily. I have one coming up at ____ or at ____ (ACTUALLY, I PROBABLY HAVE ALL THE TIMES AVAILABLE--LIKE 3PM TODAY, OR 8, 9, 10, OR 11PM TONIGHT, BUT I DONíT WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT BECAUSE I WANT YOU TO THINK IíM REALLY BUSY WITH PEOPLE FALLING ALL OVER THEMSELVES TO GET INTO THIS HOT OPPORTUNITY). Which of those times is better for you (AND REALLY, IíLL TAKE YOU ANY TIME YOU WANT TO GO BECAUSE IíM ALWAYS READY FOR MY NEXT POTENTIAL VICTIM)?

Great! Let me go over the procedure with you. Iím going to call you about 6 or 7 minutes before ____ oíclock. Iím going to prep you just a little bit so youíll know what to expect on the call. Iím going to ask that you be in a quiet area for two reasons. Number one, so you can concentrate on the call, and number two, since it will be live and interactive, with hundreds of people on the line, anything you can hear in your background would be heard on the call (WELL, THATíS NOT TRUE. SEE, THEREíS THIS MUTING SYSTEM IN PLACE AND A TECHNICIAN ON LINE SO THAT ANYBODY WHOíS GOTTEN IN WHO WOULD BLOW THE WHISTLE CAN BE SHUT OFF IMMEDIATELY, BUT I DONíT WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT). Also, have a pen and paper handy, you will want to take notes. Now, I want you to take down my telephone number. Itís _______. My name again is _______. The reason Iíd like you to have that is I want you to keep in mind that I am going to set my time aside for you this evening, and if anything should come up between now and ____ oíclock, where you might have to cancel or reschedule, I would more than appreciate the professional courtesy of a return call, OK (THIS IS SO THAT YOU FEEL ALL THE MORE OBLIGATED TO CONTINUE THROUGH THE SYSTEM AND SO I COME OFF SOUNDING VERY PROFESSIONAL)? Great! Listen, it was a pleasure sharing this information with you (NOT THAT I SHARED ANYTHING REALLY). Iím really looking forward to having you on that call with me, (SUCKER), and weíll just keep taking this one step at a time. Fair enough (DONíT YOU FEEL LIKE IíM RESPECTING YOU AND VALUING YOU AND THAT YOUíRE SAFE WITH ME? GOOD, VERY GOOD. YOU DONíT SUSPECT A THING, DO YOU?)? Great, I will talk to you at 6 or 7 minutes to ____.

BEFORE THE LIVE CALL
Hello, (SUCKER), itís _______ (YOUR WORST NIGHTMARE, BUT YOU STILL DONíT KNOW THAT YET). Are you all set for our live call (REMEMBER HOW MANY BUCKS YOUíRE GONNA MAKE, SO GET ALL EXCITED AGAIN)? Great! Sounds to me like youíre in a good quiet area. Do you have a pen and paper handy? Youíre going to get a great education tonight (A REALLY SLICK SNOW JOB, A LOT OF FLASH, NOT MUCH SUBSTANCE--YOUíLL BE IMPRESSED). Youíre going to hear about our association (BUT NOT ANYTHING YOU DONíT ALREADY KNOW, WHICH IS STILL ABOUT ZERO), all about our product (AND THISíLL ONLY TAKE A COUPLE OF MINUTES BECAUSE ITíS NOT THE FOCUS OF THINGS AT ALL), how you go about making money with our product (YOU RECRUIT OTHERS WHOíLL RECRUIT OTHERS), youíll also hear a few testimonials from people who are already associates in the program (AND THESE ARE ALMOST ALWAYS THE SAME PEOPLE, LIKE MELISSA IN IOWA, JEFFREY COMBS IN CALIFORNIA, TED IN OREGON, TED IN WYOMING, MARK IN FLORIDA, MIKE IN SEATTLE, JIMMY IN TEXAS, LISA IN CALIFORNIA, MARGO IN MAINE, ALL PEOPLE WHOíVE BEEN DOING THIS FOR A GOOD WHILE; EVERY NOW AND AGAIN, YOUíLL GET A NEW PERSON IN THERE, BUT ITíS RARE BECAUSE THEYíRE RARELY AS SUCCESSFUL AS THE SUPERSTARS. AND THESE FOLKS WILL SPEND A LOT OF TIME TALKING ABOUT HOW GPG HAS TURNED THEIR WHOLE LIFE AROUND REALLY QUICKLY AND HOW THEYíVE BEEN ABLE TO GET OUT OF DEBT, MAKE 6 FIGURES, SPEND TIME WITH FAMILY, QUIT JOBS, ETC., AS WELL AS HELP SO MANY OTHERS BECOME SUCCESSFUL; THERE MIGHT BE AN OBLIGATORY TESTIMONIAL ABOUT THE PRODUCT, BUT THERE MIGHT NOT BE EITHER, AND YOU CAN BET THEY WONíT GET TOO SPECIFIC ABOUT IT OR YOU MIGHT GET A SENSE ITíS PRETTY LIGHTWEIGHT). And then theyíre going to open up the lines for questions and answers (BUT THEYíLL ONLY ANSWER CERTAIN KINDS OF QUESTIONS; THEY LIKE "GETTING STARTED" QUESTIONS, AND IF YOU ASK A NO-NO QUESTION, THEYíLL MAKE YOU LOOK LIKE AN IDIOT ON THE CALL OR GIVE YOU A VAGUE, BLOW-YOU-OFF ANSWER FOLLOWED UP BY A FRIENDLY "GET THE PRODUCT IN YOUR HANDS AND SEE FOR YOURSELF AND SHUTUP" RESPONSE). Now, (SUCKER), donít be shy. If you have any questions, go ahead and speak right up. You can get them answered right on this call, OK (JUST DONíT ASK THE WRONG QUESTIONS)?

[This next paragraph is not universally used, but it is illustrative of the kinds of people youíre joining up with]

The only thing that I ask is if you have any questions about our email advertising system, please save those for me as this system is exclusive to me and my group (NO ITíS NOT, ITíS APPARENTLY COMMON) and we donít want to let the cat out of the bag on that (BECAUSE ITíS AGAINST THE CODE OF ETHICS OF THE ASSOCIATION; I DONíT WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT, BUT WHATíS THE POINT? AFTER ALL, HOW IMPORTANT IS A CODE OF ETHICS IN A SCAM? THATíS LIKE HAVING RULES FOR ARMED ROBBERY--APOLOGIZE BEFORE YOU SHOOT THEM, FOR INSTANCE, OR SAY THANKS FOR CARRYING YOUR VALUABLES ON YOU TODAY; ANYWAY, I DONíT FOLLOW THE ETHICS CODE AND NEITHER WILL YOU).

Now when the call is over, just stay on the line and Iíll disconnect us from the conference, OK? Hold on and Iíll transfer us to the call.

AFTER THE LIVE CALL
OK, _______, that was it! That was exciting, isnít it? Do you see an opportunity for yourself here (ARE YOU READY TO DIVE IN HEADFIRST FOR ALL THAT WONDERFUL MOOLAH THATíS SUPPOSED TO BE AS EASY AS TAKING CANDY FROM A BABY?)?

OK, I want you to understand exactly how you go about making money here (SO LISTEN CAREFULLY, BECAUSE HEREíS THE PYRAMID, BUT IíLL CLOUD IT UP QUITE A BIT FOR YOU BY MAKING YOU CONSTANTLY THINK OF YOUR SOON-TO-BE MADE INCOME AND HOW WE ARE SO TEAM-ORIENTED). Grab a clean sheet of paper and a pen, and weíre going to put it all down in black and white for you. As you heard on the call, it takes 7 referred sales to be qualified as a director (REALLY IT DOESNíT, BUT IF YOU KNEW THAT, IT WOULD SHOOT HOLES IN THIS WONDERFUL TEAM-BUILDING EXERCISE IíM TAKING YOU THROUGH THATíS SUPPOSED TO MAKE YOU THINK THIS IS SO TOTALLY DIFFERENT THAN ANYTHING ELSE YOUíVE EVER SEEN, SO COLLABORATIVE AND WOW IT MUST BE LEGITIMATE), one of which would be your own, and of the other 6, only 2 must be personal (THAT SOUNDS EASY ENOUGH, RIGHT? JUST TWO MEASLY SALES; I WONíT TELL YOU THAT IT USED TO BE SEVEN SALES ON YOUR OWN--I MAY NOT EVEN KNOW THIS MYSELF--AND THEN IT WAS CHANGED TO JUST 2 BECAUSE TOO MANY PEOPLE GAVE UP AND WE FOUND WE WERE SHOOTING OUR PYRAMID SCAM IN THE BUILDING BLOCKS). The other four will be accumulated through what we refer to as "team building", and Iím going to show you how that works. We approach this marketing plan in what we call a linear format (DOESNíT THAT SOUND BRAINY?). A straight up and down vertical line where we place one person directly under another (AND ALL OF YOU PAY ME OR MY DIRECTOR, AND THATíS ALL THE SALES WE MAKE--TO PEOPLE INTERESTED IN THE INCOME), creating immediate teams (THAT YOU NEVER WORK WITH EXCEPT FOR A TEAM TRAINING MEETING WHICH I MAY OR MAY NOT EVEN TELL YOU ABOUT), teamwork (NONE REALLY, BUT IT SOUNDS GOOD), support (DONíT ASK HOW WE SUPPORT YOU BEYOND THE TRAINING CALLS) and success (GOOD LUCK!).

Now at the top of the paper in the upper left hand corner, I want you to simply write your name, (SUCKER). Directly below that, I want you to put the numbers 1 through 8, straight down the page, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. Now Iím going to show you how we help you get qualified very quickly, and as they said on the call, the average time that people are getting qualified as a director is about 2 to 6 weeks or so (WELL, THATíS NOT TRUE, EITHER, BECAUSE WEíRE NOT COUNTING ALL THOSE POOR SLOBS--THE MAJORITY OF PEOPLE WHO GET INVOLVED--WEíVE SUCKERED WHO NEVER QUALIFIED DESPITE THEIR BEST EFFORTS AND THEIR RIGOROUS FOLLOWING OF ALL OUR DIRECTIONS). OK, now, keep in mind that your commitment is to bring 2 personal sales (THAT IS, PEOPLE LOOKING TO MAKE MONEY, SO YOUíVE GOT TO SELL THEM THE BUSINESS, WHO CARES WHAT THE PRODUCT IS) to the table and youíre going to do that with my help and the help of the system that we already have in place that does most of the work for us (WELL, ACTUALLY, YOUíRE LARGELY ON YOUR OWN, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT COMES TO PAYING FOR MARKETING, AND I WONíT EVEN TELL YOU HOW MUCH THATíS GONNA COST YOU; I MAY EVEN BENEVOLENTLY OFFER TO DO YOUR FIRST MARKETING BLITZ FOR YOU AND THATíLL MAKE SURE YOU THINK IíM YOUR PAL; DONíT BOTHER TO THINK THAT ITíS ALSO SELF-SERVING ON MY PART BECAUSE YOUíRE REALLY WORKING FOR ME BECAUSE YOUR FIRST TWO SALES GO TO ME). My commitment to you is to place 2 individuals with you that will count towards your qualification (AND IT MAY TAKE ME A LONG LONG TIME TO DO THAT; THATíS WHY YOU CAN BE AN "ACTING DIRECTOR" ONCE YOU MAKE YOUR TWO SALES, IF YOU EVER DO; SO THE WHOLE 7 SALES THING IS REALLY BOGUS). I want you to put a check mark next to #1 and #2, keeping in mind that those are the 2 people Iím placing with you and teaming you up with (NOT THAT YOUíLL EVER KNOW WHO THEY ARE OR GET TO TALK TO THEM MOST LIKELY, BUT YOUíLL FEEL LIKE YOUíRE WITH A REAL TEAM OF LEGITIMATE ENTREPRENEURS BECAUSE IíM TELLING YOU ABOUT THEM NOW). Now, you and I are going to go to work, and with my help, the help of the conference calls, and the sytem, weíre going to go out and find your first 2 personal sales (ACTUALLY, YOUíRE GOING TO DO THIS; IíLL TRY TO BE AROUND FOR 3 WAYS WITH YOUR PROSPECTS). So put a check mark next to #3 and #4. And those represent your first personal sales (AND THAT COULD HAPPEN IN JUST A FEW DAYS, BUT MUCH MORE LIKELY, YOUíLL NEVER MAKE THOSE AT ALL; ITíLL ALMOST CERTAINLY TAKE A LONG TIME AND PLENTY OF MARKETING DOUGH, NOT TO MENTION YOUR PHONE BILLS). Now hereís where the teamwork comes in. You and I are both going to go to #1, and help #1 do exactly the same thing, with our help, the help of the conference calls, the system, the training calls, weíre going to find #1 their first 2 sales (ACTUALLY, YOUíLL HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH #1 AT ALL, BUT IT SOUNDS SO COLLABORATIVE WHEN WE SAY IT THIS WAY; DONíT YOU JUST LOVE TEAMWORK?). So check off the #ís 5 and 6. Got it? Now, how many people did I say you needed in your team to qualify as a director (ITíS NOT THAT I DONíT REMEMBER, ALTHOUGH SOME OF OUR ASSOCIATES ARENíT TOO BRIGHT, ITíS BECAUSE I WANT YOU TO FEEL LIKE THIS IS SOOOOO EASY!)? (A:Seven) One of which was your own. And how many check marks do you have there (CAN YOU SAY SIX?)? (A:Six) Congratulations, youíre now a director. But it doesnít end there. Weíre all a team (THAT YOUíVE NEVER TALKED TO OR MET). You and I and #1 all help #2 do exactly the same thing you have done and #1 has done (NO YOU DONíT, AND NEITHER DOES #1, BUT IT SOUNDS SO...NICE TO WORK WITH A TEAM). So I want you to put a check mark next to #7 and #8 which are #2ís personal sales. Letís look at what weíve just accomplished (AND WE SHOULD BE SO PROUD!). Not only did we get you qualified as a director and in a moneymaking position (I WANT YOU TO FORGET THAT THIS IS ALL IN THEORY, SO YOU WONíT RECOGNIZE THAT IT REALLY DOESNíT WORK NEARLY THIS SMOOTHLY IN REALITY), but #1 has met their commitment of bringing 2 to the table, they have at least 6 in their organization, so #1 is a director, and we accomplished exactly the same thing by helping out #2. Number 2 is also a director. So through teamwork and support, and everyone benefiting from each otherís efforts (ESPECIALLY ME, BECAUSE YOU ALL PAY ME, AND IF YOU DONíT MAKE IT, THEN I DONíT HAVE TO COMPETE WITH YOU FOR AN INCREASINGLY LIMITED POOL OF PROSPECTS), all 3 of you got qualified as directors, and are now in a moneymaking position, very quickly (AND WE DID IT ALL IN A CLASSIC PYRAMID SCAM FASHION, BY MARKETING THE BUSINESS TO OTHERS WHO RECRUIT OTHERS TO MARKET THE BUSINESS; THE PRODUCTíS NOT SELLING ITSELF, ITíS JUST THE ENTRY FEE FOR MARKETING THE BUSINESS; NOW ABOUT THE "QUICKLY" THING--FOR THE VAST MAJORITY OF PEOPLE, QUICKLY IS DEFINED IN GLACIAL TERMS). Do you see how that works (NOT THE PYRAMID SCAM PART, BUT THE THEORETICAL EASE OF GETTING OTHERS IN ON THE SCAM)? Letís continue this scenario. Letís go out (REALLY, YOU GO OUT, NOT ME) and find your 3rd personal sale (AND NOW YOUíRE REALLY ON YOUR OWN; IíLL TRY TO MAKE MYSELF AVAILABLE TO YOU, BUT MY MOTIVATION IS A LITTLE DECREASED; BESIDES, IF YOU EVER EVEN GET HERE, IíLL BE GENUINELY SHOCKED AND YOU PROBABLY WONíT EVEN NEED ME).

Letís say your third sale is Mary. Instead of putting Mary at the bottom of your line, weíre going to start what we refer to as your first prosperity panel (OR PYRAMID). So about 3 or 4 inches to the right of your name, I want you to put the name Mary. Now draw a line from Mary to your name, _________. On that line write twelve hundred and fifty dollars because Mary paid YOU for the product (ACTUALLY, SHE PAID YOU FOR THE RIGHT TO MARKET IT). Now Mary is going to commit to bringing 2 personal sales to the table (VIA OPPORTUNITY SEEKERS, NOT PRODUCT SEEKERS). Youíre going to team Mary up with 2 other people, just like I did with you (NEVER MIND THAT THE PERCENTAGE OF FOLKS WHO EVER GET TO THIS POINT IS EMBARRASSINGLY SMALL), so write the #ís 1 and 2 under Mary. Mary is benefiting because those 2 people count towards her qualification, so sheís one-third of the way qualified (ASSUMING YOUíRE ABLE TO FIND A #1 AND #2 FOR HER). Youíre benefiting monetarily (WHICH IS ALL THAT REALLY MATTERS TO US, RIGHT?), because #1 and #2 both paid you for the product. Thatís twenty five hundred dollars in your pocket, minus ten percent for the product cost (IT IS QUITE A MARKUP, HUH? THAT COVERS OUR OUTLANDISH MARKETING COSTS AND MAKES IT SOUND ALL THE MORE APPEALING). Now you and Mary are going to go to work. With your help, the help of the conference calls, the training calls, and the system thatís already in place, nobodyís going to reinvent the wheel here, Maryís going to bring in her 2 personal sales. Write #3 and #4. Again, Maryís benefiting because she has another 2 towards her qualification (SHEíLL PROBABLY NEVER KNOW THAT SHEíS ABLE TO MAKE MONEY WITH JUST TWO SALES, AND IN FACT, YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO CONVINCE HER SHE NEEDS TO FIND A FEW MORE SALES FOR YOU BECAUSE ONE OF HER TEAMMATES IS A BUM), and youíre benefiting because youíve been paid another twenty five hundred dollars. You and Mary (ACTUALLY, JUST YOU) will both help #1 and #2 bring in their first 2 sales (RECRUITS, THAT IS). Using the conference calls, and the system, #1 will go out and get #5 and #6. Mary is now qualified (SHE WAS BEFORE, BUT MAYBE WE WONíT LET THAT CAT OUT OF THE BAG EITHER), but youíve benefited to the tune of another twenty five hundred dollars. Mary and #1 will help #2 (NO THEY WONíT) go out and get their 2 personal sales, so you can write in #7 and #8, which pay you another twenty five hundred dollars. Do you see (NOTHING BUT DOLLAR SIGNS NOW) how many directors are averaging 2 to 5 sales a week and more using this system? Itís pretty simple (TOO BAD IT DOESNíT WORK THIS WAY IN REALITY FOR ALL BUT A VERY SMALL NUMBER OF SCAMMERS; IT WORKS JUST WELL ENOUGH FOR ENOUGH PEOPLE TO KEEP IT GOING, AND NEW FOLKS HAVE THE HARDEST TIME MAKING IT WORK). And I want you to understand this. Not only are you getting paid from numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6, understand that youíre also going to sell product (REALLY THE BUSINESS) to and get paid from numbers 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 and so on, all the way down the line. Everybody who comes into this prosperity panel is going to purchase the product (AGAIN ONLY BECAUSE THATíS THE ONLY WAY TO MARKET THE BUSINESS) from you (YOU SHOULD BE HEARING CASH REGISTER NOISES BY NOW). And you can start as many of these prosperity panels as you can personally manage simultaneously (WHICH IS REALLY NOT TOO HARD BECAUSE THEY TAKE FOREVER AND A DAY TO GET OFF THE GROUND, IF THEY EVER ACTUALLY DO). I recommend 3, thatís what I do (IN MY FANTASIES) and that seems to be a good number where you can still give your teams the support they need. Letís continue with this scenario. Letís say that you decide to come aboard, ________, and with my help, you become somewhat successful here. Letís say that in the next few months, two, three months down the road, I help you put thirty, forty, fifty thousand dollars in profit into your bank account (NOW THE ODDS OF THAT HAPPENING ARE JUST A TAD BETTER THAN DIGGING A HOLE IN YOUR BACKYARD AND STRIKING OIL OR DISCOVERING JIMMY HOFFA), how would you feel at that point (AND YOUíD BETTER BE DROOLING NOW)? OK, youíd be a happy camper (NICELY UNDERSTATED HERE, DONíT YOU THINK?). Now if I were to call you, and say, OK, ________, youíve seen some success here, and I feel itís time that you considered capital leveraging (DOESNíT THAT SOUND SOPHISTICATED AND SERIOUS, LIKE WEíRE REAL KNOWLEDGEABLE ABOUT BUSINESS) six thousand two hundred and fifty dollars from your profit to attend our Global II 4 day seminar (IN OTHER WORDS, I WANT SOME MORE MONEY FROM YOU; SO LETíS BEGIN A SECOND PYRAMID). Do you think you would do that, do you think you would take sixty two fifty out of your profit so I could take you to a beautiful tropical island (THAT YOUíLL NOT HAVE TIME TO ENJOY BECAUSE YOUíLL BE INSIDE LISTENING TO OUR EXPERTS ALL DAY; PLUS WE LIKE TO BE OFFSHORE BECAUSE THE US GOVERNMENT MAY NOT LIKE US THAT MUCH AND COULD CAUSE TROUBLE IF WE ALL GATHERED SOMEPLACE IN THE STATES) and teach you how to make more money? Youíre going to want to do this for 2 reasons (WELL 3, ACTUALLY, WITH NUMBER ONE BEING YOUíRE GONNA WANT TO PAY ME). Number one, youíre going to get a further education in the course material (WHICH AT THIS POINT IS ONLY DISTANTLY ESOTERIC HAVING HEARD MENTION OF IT ON THE LIVE CALL), a deeper understanding into the world of finances and offshore activities. But at the same time, youíre going to increase your profitability 5 times, you see the people that you have helped become successful (BOTH OF THEM, UNDER GOOD CIRCUMSTANCES) will automatically want to follow you to the Global II portion of our program (IF ANY OF THEM STILL ARE IN THE PROGRAM). Now, instead of sending you twelve hundred and fifty dollars, theyíre sending you six thousand two hundred and fifty dollars, and you still get to keep 90% of that (CAN YOU SAY MONEY???? I WANT YOU TO THINK THAT THIS IS ALL SO EASILY WITHIN YOUR IMMEDIATE REACH; JUMP IN NOW, GO FOR IT, DONíT THINK, LEAP!!!). Do you see how that works? Great!

Do you have any questions (AND PLEASE ONLY ASK ONES THAT MAKE IT CLEAR YOUíRE ON THE HOOK, AND DONíT WORRY, IíLL TELL YOU WHATEVER YOU WANT TO HEAR, OR IíLL 3 WAY YOU TO MY DIRECTOR, WHOíLL TELL YOU WHATEVER YOU WANT TO HEAR AND GIVE YOU AN EVEN STRONGER IMPRESSION OF HOW WE ALL WORK TOGETHER AS A BIG HAPPY TEAM)?

PENCIL IN CLOSE DAY 1
Iíll tell you what, ______, I donít expect you to make a decision about this tonight (IíD TAKE A YES, BUT I WONíT ASK FOR IT NOW BECAUSE I DONíT WANT TO PUSH MY LUCK; BESIDES, SAYING THIS MAKES YOU FEEL ALL THE MORE LIKE YOU CAN TRUST ME--NO PRESSURE). I want you to have some time to think about it (NOT TOO MUCH TIME, MIND YOU, OR YOU MIGHT TALK TO SOMEONE OR THINK OF SOMETHING THATíLL BRING YOU OUT OF YOUR INCOME-DELUDED STUPOR), but Iíll tell you what I am going to do. Iím going to pencil you in to this fast-moving panel (ITíS ONLY SLIGHTLY FASTER THAN CONTINENTAL DRIFT IN ALL LIKELIHOOD), and Iím going to hold a spot for you, OK (ARENíT I NICE TO DO THIS FOR YOU? IíM CREATING A SENSE OF URGENCY FOR YOU, BUT TRY NOT TO NOTICE; JUST KEEP THINKING ëIíM GONNA BE RICH.í)? The reason Iím using a pencil is because I canít confirm your spot until I have a tracking number for your payment from you (SO YOUíD BETTER ACT FAST; DONíT FEEL PRESSURE, JUST TAKE AS MUCH TIME IN THE NEXT 12 TO 24 HOURS AS YOU WANT). As it was explained though, by teaming people up together and having everyone commit to contributing just two people to the line, thereís a very good chance that by tomorrow, youíll already have people underneath you in the panel that will count toward your qualification (SWELL, HUH? THEN AGAIN, YOU MAY BE THE FIRST SALE IíVE MADE IN THE LAST THREE MONTHS, AND WHO KNOWS WHEN THE NEXT ONE WILL COME ALONG?). So, letís get you everything in writing, review the paperwork thoroughly, sleep on it, and letís make a time for the two of us to get back together tomorrow, and at that point you can give me a yes or a no, and then I can get my pen ready to confirm your spot, fair enough (NO PRESSURE; YOU ONLY NEED 24 HOURS TO DO ANY RESEARCH AND COME TO THE DECISION TO SPEND $1250, PLUS ALL THE ADDITIONAL EXPENSES I HAVENíT TOLD YOU ABOUT EXPLICITLY YET; THATíS BECAUSE ALL YOU CAN THINK OF, I HOPE, IS HOW MUCH MONEY YOUíRE ABOUT TO MAKE AND HOW YOUR LIFE IS ABOUT TO CHANGE IN WAYS YOUíVE ALWAYS DREAMED OF; NEVER MIND THAT YOUíRE VERY LIKELY ONLY GOING TO LOSE MONEY)?

Great. Iíll send the paperwork out by fax as soon as weíre done here. Whatís your fax #?

Whatís a good time for us to get back together tomorrow (DONíT PUT ME OFF, BECAUSE YOU MIGHT WAKE UP)? Great, weíll talk tomorrow at ______.

PENCIL IN CLOSE - DAY 2
Hi __________, how are you today? Did you get the paperwork all right? Do you have any more questions (AND I HOPE YOUíRE AS FIRED UP AS I LEFT YOU LAST NIGHT AND THAT YOU HAVENíT COME TO YOUR SENSES YET; NOT TO WORRY THOUGH, BECAUSE IíLL TELL YOU ANYTHING YOU NEED TO HEAR TO MAKE YOU GO AHEAD)?

Are you ready to get started making money (BY FINDING OTHERS WHO WANT TO MAKE MONEY; THATíS HOW A PYRAMID SCAM WORKS; THE MONEYíS IN THE RECRUITING)? Great!
Welcome aboard, (SUCKER; NOW WHEN YOU LOOK BACK ON THIS IN A FEW MONTHS OR SO AND YOU FIND YOUíVE BLOWN A COUPLE OF THOUSAND DOLLARS OR MORE, FOLLOWED THE DIRECTIONS, AND WORKED HARD, AND STILL NOT MADE A NICKEL, DONíT EXPECT ME TO GIVE YOU MUCH HELP.
