LAMPE BERGER RE-FUND CASE

Hie,

Good job in creating this site. I've came to know this site from a friend earlier
on MSN. I straight come and look. Heh. :)

Here is my story.

I've invested a certain amount of money amounting to RM 10,000.
The main reason why I would join LB because my friend told me can earn
money. So i also excited la. I go an borrow money from my friends and families.
I tried so hard to convince them that i want to do business.
So in the end, i got the money.

I am really impressed by how they lay out the marketing plan, and how much
you can earn and so on.. Really.
I've strived for a mere 4 months...
Going for New Distributor's Orientation every month. Go for trainings mostly
every night and also always call friend come out yum char.
It is not that easy to convince people to join and wat's more with coming out
with the initial investment of RM 2500.

After nearly 4 months, I know this will never work for me. I've really tried my
best. It looks good to me, but it doens't mean it looks good to others.
I go to office and told my Upline that I want to quit.
He held me back and told me to wait and discuss this matter later.

Waited and waited.
It is near midnight.

He told me that my quiting will hurt others as in the team members.
He told me to think about it and I did. I told him okay, I gave him another
2 days. Seriously thought of it, I really want to quit.

Contacted him, and told him I want to quit. Well, he gave me another option
which is, not to quit, but to re-imburse back the stock purchase value. Which
mean, sell the Lampe Berger's Oil and Lamp to other distributors.
Calculated my returns, I would lose another RM 1,000 or so.
So I agreed, to save him trouble and mine also.. and I don't want to give him
hard time.

Everything is as agreed, given stock, and what's good is that my marquis told
me that there would be few "Franchisee" coming in and I should have some
stock sold in the coming weeks.

I waited again... called... and he never answer call. My upline.
He msged me and said, no luck in selling my stock. "WHAT!??" was my
response. And at that time, I need money.! Real bad!...

This goes on for 2 months. Call never answered. Never bothered me at all.
Only is me call him not him call me and tell me stock sold.
He always give me stupid reason, like that person holding the money..
Busy la.. and always meeting people.. and all..

Why all this crap!!.. ?? He still sees my friend and my friends told me he is still
the same and what really put me on laugther is he TRIED to borrow money
from one of my another friend. AHHAHA Funny... Why strive on when u can't
survive.

Summore, when i really count, I am losing more if I get my refund this way.
If I refund thru the company, I only lose 10% of the initial investment.

I've came to know another friend, who's friend also invested and nvr got back
the money. Same case happen like how I gone thru. What's worst that person
invested RM 30K.

Is this a scam or wat? What happens to the promises said?

I would like to stress on one thing. If you have invested and you want to
back-out.
Please go directly to the company IF your up-line as you to not back-out.
Why?
I've found out that, if you back-out, the re-fund money will be taken from
the company and from the upline himself.
Thats the main reason why they don't let you go. They have to churn out what
they earned.

Now, I am left with a loss of over RM 3K.!! Believe it or not. sucks..
So called good earning opportunity but when I wan to quit, they act like fckers,

I want to say that, it is the people problem. Not the product.
I would still sell the product now, if I can, because it really helps during haze.
But still another matter is it is being OVER-PRIZEd...
That is why the distributors can earn big bucks over it...

In future, Lampe Berger MLM? Thanks but NO THANKS!!..

I would rather join other companies, that has low investment, but big returns.
