Wrong Perception on Lampe Berger Help

Many people who are pro-SYN/DCHL/Lampe Berger has got my blog wrong.

More or less, they are saying that I label their Multi Level Marketing (MLM)
"business" a scam. Look, what I mean by scam is

1) They unethical way you are running the whole "business" by merely asking
people to join but not to sell. Simple words, you put recruitment as your source
of income, but not selling. (Don't give me the bull of selling dreams and freedom)

2) The many people who got "cheated" in a way that this whole "business" thing
can work. But in actual fact, it is a "business" of recruitment instead of selling.

3) I guess, this blog of mine, and me being a "victim" of this kind of "scam" has
helped many, if not, a whole lot of people to really realize things they might face
from all these SYN/DCHL/Lampe Berger "business"

To me, what I am doing is "noble". ;) I'm helping others to understand MLM
By understanding MLM, one can thus decide whether he/she wants to go ahead
and pursue it as a "business" or "career".

To pro-SYN/DCHL/Lampe Berger peeps. Inevitably, no matter what I write here
your business is still booming, I guess. SYN just held their 7th International
Members Exchange here in Malaysia on the weekend of 7th September 2007.

Congrats goes to many who has garnered success and earn a living out of it.
But for how long?

I totally agreed with you. I were a Marquis before and were promised of many things from my upline. I paid for NDO, IME in Malaysia and last year in Singapore. I even went with them to Club Med, Cherating. At the end I found out from a secret training in Genting that most Marquis don't make money. Look carefully at the Marketing Plan of DCHL. Ask them to explain to you. You don't make money. Don't get yourself brainwash but the WHOHA.

Which is to some extend is true! I've got many people who told me the same as
EX SYN IDOL.

anyhow..i want to interrupt here. if it is a scam, then why it is recognized by our own PM, Pak Lah and arwah Datin Seri Endon was once Ed Pinaud (DCHL product) user?
plus..it is legally under Direct Sales Act 1993. SYN focuses in network marketing under direct sales.. what's wrong with the Act of Direct Sales 1993?u think Malaysian Law was wrong?

Brutal Approach by Lampe Berger Lady

Wow, I find this e-mail the most serious one in recent months.

Read on how this girl by the name of evi complaints about her brother's
ordeal with his upline by the name of Shannel Lung. (she still in LB?)

I shall post the e-mail here. You guys read and judge...

hi,i don't know write complaining letter to you is it wrong or should be other person, but i really no idea i should tell in lampe berger company that have power to settle problem. let me intro myself..i m a college student.i wrote this e mail for u is for complain about lampe berger system.my brother is a member of D.C.H.L lampe berger for 2 years but he not really want to become a member of D.C.H.L, he has been forced by the another D.C.H.L member call shannel lung from Malaysia, sabah.

Thing happen 2 years ago,the lady said just ask my brother to sign the form as a member using my brother name but she use her own money to buy the product and member fee because she want to get point.My brother just follow want she need and do it for her.
After 1 month, she come and look for my brother and asked for money.My brother so suprise why he need to RM2000++ for the product and the member fee? she said he signed the form mean agree to become a member and take all the product, and my brother just fresh school how come got alot money to pay for it.

The lady said if he don't want to pay for it, she give 2 choices for my brother, 1 is ask 1 guy to hit him or she slap my brother gace in front of alot people to settle it.My brother is a very easy coward person, he want to settle it faster then call many friends borrow money from them to settle it.
before for that he tried to go the lady company to ask for cancel, but she was there and tell the other manager don't let him cancel and must pay for it because she help company earn alot money and company must help her back.
My brother tried to find other brances of lampe berger copmpany and tell them what happen.They said the lady doing business is like that, because they are not the same brance, they can't do anything.

Actually i don't want to write this e mail for you, but same thing happen again with my friend.Please to stop that lady to do the same action to other people.

thank you very much.

evi

Am I now accusing anything on DCHL/Lampe Berger/ Steven Yeam Network?
Nope... Sorry.. It is the real brutal truth e-mail that I receive and it is to tell
other people out there that ALTHOUGH the business helps a lot of people,
but due to some un-ethical "business" people in this Multi Level Marketing
company DCHL/Steven Yeam Network/ RZ Corporation selling mostly Lampe
Berger is really killing the un-aware society.

Those who wants to get into the business, think twice!
Think twice of your later approach and tactics in the business!
Think twice if it is you who are being approached in that kinda situation!

Listen to ALL ANTI-Lampe Berger!!

Thanks bro!

A CULT in QuestNet?

Wow, there is a "CULT" in QuestNet. I guess, every MLM needs to survive
on this "CULT". What kinda "CULT"? I don't know. Many kinds.

"Worship" their leaders la, "Worship" their top earners la, and more..

An anonymous reader left a insightful comment in our earlier post
Sister SHOCKED, now FAINTING...

Her comments on the outcome of her relationship because of QuestNet
and not only hers but others as well took me a step back to really ask,
"Why on earth we have these kinda people?" I guess maybe that the
term "Ying" and "Yang" must exist everywhere.. Good and Bad..

Read it for yourself and judge the business by yourself..
______________________________________________________

Like Samantha88, my Ex is also involved in this MLM Biz - OuestNet to be exact. Yeap! He, too, changed from nice guy I once knew to someone I no longer respect. He even accused me for being untrustworthy because I refused to stand by him and join QI! He ended our relationship for another girl because she is also in the Biz but I know too well he is just cheating himself from his own behaviours. Well, I don mind coz the girl is a ... (wild type) and perhaps he deserved a girl like that as he ain't so good himself now!

He even said his family members all 'ganged up' on him because they ADVICED him to leave the Biz which he never did even when the Dato' was arrested! Gosh! How can one even say that about his own family who love him so much?! I really feel sad and sorry for Uncle and Aunty. I tried too but he won't listen to me too. So sorry! I pity him too ....

What scares me the most now is that they use "religious teaching' and quotes from the Bible (no offence to Christianity, please!)to brainwash people!! All religions are GOOD but this is misused of people's faith and i hope good Christians or any religion followers, please oh please stood up and clear your religion's name. These people seem to behave like a CULT now!! In some of their meetings, they call each other brothers and sisters and their 'faith' and trust for their leaders are as strong as one's trust for their preachers, pastors or fathers!

They blamed and accused the media for 'lying' about the arrest of their leaders too! The press can't simply publish without truth! But they are all blinded by all the beautiful promises by their leaders and also the images they've painted in their dream. I even saw many of them quitting their highly paid and stable jobs to do this Biz fulltime. Gee... is it really that different from working with a company? Isn't it the same as these people are also doing the 'selling' and 'recruiting' of people (downlines) for a company too, only that they don't have to go to a office because there isn't any?

Although I am not against MLM and how one gets rich but please do your Biz with good ethics and high morales. I pray that God will help these people see the harm and hurt they have caused to they loved one. May God forgive these cheaters and family breakers. You can dream and make a better future without sacrifying relationships with your family and friends.

If anyone have a solution to help these people, please generously share with us here who desperately trying to 'save' those we love. Thank you in advance.

Lampe Berger in Indonesia

Lampe Berger Help recently received an e-mail from Bram in Indonesia.

Dear sir,
i am sorry to disturb you with this email

They do everyone here very intense and i think your blog is very big help for us to be objective
I like to ask if you have any testimonial or story about LB in Indonesia.

Thank You

Bram

My Reply

Bram,

I do not have any Indonesian writing to me about their case.

Maybe you could help me source for some news?
You have any forums or blogs that I can make my presence there?
Is Indonesia facing the same trauma as to Malaysians with LB?

Rgds,
LBHELP

hi
thansk for the respon.
Sorry i have no source about LB in indonesia, thats way i was looking at your site.
As long as i know Indonesia has no trauma yet with LB and i need some experience from others who have experiences on this
Maybe you can share yours to me..?
thanks

Any news from Indonesia? So far, I think Lampe Berger and SYN has not
really caused any big hoo-haa in Indonesia. If there is, I'm sure to pick
up something from there as I see, I have Indonesian readers here too.

Bel Air Malaysia

First encounter few days ago, I saw the Bel Air operations center at
UOA Jalan Pinang close down. It is either they are moving or they
have gone BUST!!

DCHL/Lampe Berger Policy Update

Update towards my earlier post below.

I would like to update this new notice which was published in
DCHL Website earlier this year in February 15.

I'm sure to shock a lot of readers and those who e-mailed recently.

Here goes... look at item number 2. PRODUCTS BUY BACK POLICY


Yes. its 3 Months NOT 6 Months anymore...

Oh wells.. smart DCHL.. very smart.. pray for those who are affected.

LB Help!! I want to REFUND

Hey LBHelp friends...

Over the past few weeks, I have been receiving e-mails on how to refund
their membership and products and claim back whatever that is left behind.

Received an e-mail from a frustrated Lampe Berger member. Read:

Hi,

I was just browsing thru the internet trying to find answers for my questions. and suddenlly ur site just appear on the screen.

I am once an LB member...and sad to say I still am, although I haven't go to the office for nearly 10 months now. I've also been thinking about refunding all my products coz I'm having a hell time paying all my loans.

At first I asked my upline about how to refund. bad move. said that altho I refund, i had to pay for all the commissions that I've received during my countship. and they dun even consult me on what I'm purchasing...now I've realized that half of my products are unreturnable....

now I am working...(I was an undergrad student when I was sought out to join LB)...and I am really annoyed that more than half of my salary goes to pay my loan...instead of getting myself my own car....

My parents constantly reminding me of my loans and bugging me to pay them (they come to my house to persuade my folks to invest in the 30K scheme) coz I borrowed money from relative and have to pay them....I am being tortured enuf by my parents about this mistake.

please help me get my money back (refund)...

when I said about my upline not consulting what I bought, I did check the list again and asked about those unreturnable products, they told me that it is neccessary to buy them coz its easier when distributing it to my "downline".

LB Help: Its a trick and excuse to get you blinded over the terms & conditions that you never read propoerly.

regards,
frustrated

I have a few more e-mails that reads...

E-mail 2

Hi Stecven,

I join DCHL - SYN as Baron 2 months. I planning to quit. But I don't know what should I write in the letter. Do you have example for it?

Joining this business is on my own. I don't blame my upline or others for introduce this business to me. Ermm... you have example of "polite" termination letter? Thanks!

Lim

I assume he thinks I'm Steven Yeam hahaha.

E-mail 3

Hi LAMPE BERGER HELP,

I join now near 3 months, I'm thinking of quitting before my refund policy date end (That's 3 months). I like to write a letter for my termination. Do you know any good example for it. Because I don't want blame the company nor my upline. It's my fault being naive. I have put alot time on it... I know I only can get 90% of it. It's better than none. Can you help me?

Regards,
Sabrina

Hmm... they all asked me the same question. How do I go about with the
refund of my products and membership. My answer is simple.

I made a post last year in August 06: GET YOUR FULL REFUND and also
in March 06: Solutions to Re-Funds. Go and have a read.

I think, Solutions to Re-Funds suits you all who e-mailed me. Read up! :)

Think Before You Join DCHL/LB/SYN/RZ..etc

That's my only wise words to you all out there..
It all depends on what path you want to choose in your life..

If you are not afraid of losing friends, losing hope, breaking down most
of the time when you just can't sell "dreams", recruits or sell the LB
products, then think again of joining the DCHL/LB/SYN or any other
MLM industry similar to Lampe Berger.

When I say similar, it means, "investing" a large amount of money from
either RM 2,500 till RM 30,000 ++ to purchase a the products and
then retail it back to friends and families by either selling it to them or
bringing them into the business just like you.

Let Mr. Donovan tell you more on what he thinks.

Hey lampebergerhelp,

I came across your blog by chance and I truly admire that someone like you
is really not afraid to speak up your mind for what is right to the society.
What I am about to write, I hope you will post it on your blog for other
readers to read.

One of my friend who is an LB member brought me to his company annual dinner
at Sunway Hotel, and that is when I get to know about Lampe Berger. Many of
their members seem so friendly with me.. but for what purpose? To persuade
me to pay them money to join their LB scheme of course. One of their top
'convincer' talked to me and said things like "you join our business, this
is like a gift for your girlfriend. You earn more money to make your
girlfriend happy". Smart talk right? I was almost pulled

At first I was almost convinced to join Lampe Berger since they keep telling
me stories about how some of their members become succesful and earn 6-digit
salaries by joining Lampe Berger. I argued with my father to give me RM2.5k
to join, but luckily he was stubborn. I want to have money, and everyone
does... that's why there are some people who are still blinded by these LB
scheme.

After a long and hard thinking for a few days, I came up with my own
conclusion which I warned to some of my friends, and it's effective. You
see... Lampe Berger is not really a scam, but an unethical scheme. You CAN
earn lots of money by investing RM2.5k or RM30k into the business. But at
what cost?

Do the people who join Lampe Berger ever think about who are they going to
invite into this scheme? Obviously the best people they can invite to join
them are FRIENDS who trust them. You don't go around and simply ask
strangers to give you RM2.5k rite?
But what happens if your friend invested in RM2.5k but they didn't make it?
They start to blame you... they start losing their trust in you.. they avoid
themselves from you and so are your other friends. Yeah sure, go ahead and
earn money by asking your FRIENDS to join and get them into trouble. If you
want to make money and lose your friends and your reputation, then Lampe
berger is the best scheme for you. If money is more important than your
friends, then join the LB scheme. Go ahead and join... and see yourself
struggle to earn money by cutting down your number of friends. Because of
your greed for money, YOU GIVE UP YOUR FRIENDSHIP, which cannot be bought
back with the money you made from your unethical scheme.

I have seen some people who persuade their friends to join MLM (not only
Lampe Berger). I don't see them having so much friends around them. But in
the end after they quit their MLM, they realize how stupid they are to join
MLM at first place. My friend who tried persuading me to join LB was very
friendly, treated me nicely, spend money on me, and was close to me. After
knowing that I will not invest a single cent in his business, he stopped
seeing me.

I'm sure alot of you have heard countlessly from LB members, saying that
"you pay RM2.5k, if you never work hard, you'll lose money. If you work
hard, you will be very succesful and earn alot of money". Yeah that's true
what they said... but did you ever consider that by 'working hard' means
troubling your friends and make them lose money for the sake of your profit?
If you and your friend suceed, then bravo... but just remember that MLM is
not for everyone, and when there are some people who suceed, there are
others who fail.

In conclusion, LB is not just a 'morality scam', but also an unethical way
of doing business. Please take my advice and don't lose yourself by joining
Lampe Berger. The reason why i decided to post this is so that my friends
and you (readers) think harder before you join in ANY MLM scheme. Think of
your loved ones.

Enough said? So do i..

MLM = Scam?

Off the DCHL/SYN/Lampe Berger news...

Let's see some interesting news that gained front page news at NST.

Sunday 6th May 2007
Three Filipino partners also held at five-star hotel.

KUALA LUMPUR: A Datuk who made his millions overseas before venturing into businesses here was arrested by Indonesian police for multilevel- marketing (MLM) scams.

The man, in his 40s, was arrested with his three Filipino partners in a five-star hotel in Jakarta on Thursday night.

They were attending an international event at the Jakarta Convention Centre.

Read more HERE

In this news

The Datuk and his partners are allegedly involved in an MLM company with branches in Southeast and East Asian countries. It produces limited-edition coins and medals, jewellery and timepieces sold through network marketing.

My first guess of the company is QuestNet.
How would I guess? The keyword? limited-edition coins.

It turns out to be true.. BRAVO!!

Monday 7th May 2007
Datuk wanted in RM308m fraud case



KUALA LUMPUR: Businessman Datuk Vijayeswaran S. Vijayaratnam, who was arrested in Jakarta last week, is wanted in connection with a US$90 million (RM308m) fraud case in the Philippines.
Indonesian police are co-ordinating with their Filipino counterparts to extradite him to Quezon City where a warrant of arrest has been issued against him for a nine-year-old case.

The warrant is for fraud and conspiracy, according to the Interpol website.

The 46-year-old is the group managing director of QI Limited, which is based in Hong Kong with branches in 30 countries from Australia to Brazil. Its regional office in Malaysia is in Petaling Jaya.

Read more HERE

I do not have much to say.. but just few wise words.

No matter how big is any MLM, I mean any, I don't wanna quote any
specific ones, they ought to be something fishy behind them.
Questnet is so big, but why this thing can happen? Maybe it was an error.
An error by NST? Come on.. don't joke me...

Just do a simple google search on "MLM Lawsuit" There's your answer!

Sister SHOCKED, now FAINTING...

My last post about this case was "Sister SHOCKED with investment of 36K"
This sister came to me seeking help. I gave my wise advise, and thus now
again, I receive an e-mail from her just last week.

So, nothing more shall I speak off but to let you guys read..

it's me again.. i'm mad, confused and very frustated with my sister behaviour. I made her to promise to stop for a while thinking about the scheme until she has finished her final exam. Yes, she had promised me. But, suddenly after few days she rang my aunt asking to borrow 1K.. She has broke her promise to me.. Then my aunt got worried.. tell my mom. My mom advised her to discuss the matter with my father after she had finished her final exam. My mom even asked her to do a proper paperwork if she really wants the 36k from my father. (Well, to involve in business.. you should have a paperwork right?). She promised again to put aside for a while about this 'lamp' thing until she finished her final exam. But, again she broke her promise, willingly to go back home in the middle of the exam week.. to ask my father for 36k!! My father refused to gave her. But she insist.. at least give her 5K. You see.. how determine she is to involve with the 'lamp'?? I really don't understand. The introducer of this DCHL is friend of my brother. He said 36K is optional. But, seeing my sister behaviour, it tells you the other way. I have no more ideas how to stop her. What scaring me is if she persuade her friend, which is our neighbour, to join as well.. I'm very scared now.. I'm afraid that her friend's family will be our enemy just because of this silly thing. My father had made her to choose between her studies and the 'lamp'. She chose her studies.. but I hardly want to believe her after she broke her promises to me.
I did asked my sister to read all the blogs about DCHL,Lampeberger scam.. etc.. however all those writings in the blogs did not even a little to make her think again and stop joining. I just don't know what else to do... Pls.. if you can just help me.......

Who teaches the younger sister to borrow money from her aunty?
Who will motivate the younger sister to do so?
Who is teaching her to be so aggressive in search for money while
she is still studying and looking forward to a bright future?

These are the young and innocent people who just left high school and
started pursuing their dreams from college/university life.
Why must they be treated like that and in the end, who will suffer.
Where are the ethics?

Lampe Berger Ruled by Government?

AHAH! I've waited for the right time. I hit the jackpot.
My guess was correct. It was in matter of time they took it down.
WHAT? you are asking.. Hmmm... let me tell you what.
In Malaysia, this is a normal case. If you can't feed some people
you are gone case. But if you can, then you are in the league.

See, on the 4th April 2007 exactly 3:34 AM, samantha88 in lowyat forum
made a post #1711 where she searched the Securities Commission website
and found that the name Lampe Berger is in the list.

This post can be found in the Lampe Berger & Estebel Issues V2 thread.

This is not a made up story. When samantha88 found a truth, she posted
it in the forum straight away. In her post, you can find the full list she
copied and pasted in there. So, what's the truth?


(click picture to enlarge in new window)

I gave it some time and again today I made the search. See what I've found?
It is under the Investor Alert list @ www.sc.com.my


(click picture to enlarge in new window)

BRUTAL FACT! Its GONE now!


(click picture to enlarge in new window)

Securities Commission have taken the Lampe Berger company out
from their list. Reason why? God only knows.

See, when Ms. X in my previous post saw this whole list last week
she was shocked and that made her not to invest anymore and the lost
of RM 250 is like nothing to her already.

And now the Securities Commission has taken down the name.
What we all want to know is WHY? E-mail sent to SC to ask for
clarification in this matter. Let's see what's their reply.

Lampe Berger peeps will say, "see this proves we are legitimate"
But the question is, if legitimate and what not, why was it up there
in the first place? why there are so many people out there who
are objecting this whole thing SO MUCH MORE than other MLMs?

Enuff said..

Next "Brainwashed by Lampe Berger"
(a sister who came to ask for help now face another trouble)

Saved by the Blog (2)

This blog has helped saved a lot of innocent poor soul by warning them
the tricks and tactics used by DCHL/Lampe Berger/SYN to lure
poor innocent people into their "get-rich investment" business plan.

We are proud to say that, the exposure from Lampe Berger Help is now
worldwide. We have readers from all the region in the world. *_*

We have recently saved an innocent soul from getting lured into
DCHL/Lampe Berger/SYN's business plan. This girl wrote a very
SUPER LONG e-mail to LB Help seeking help and advise on the
whole truth about Lampe Berger.

Absurd of Ms. X's first email to LB Help.

Until that part, I was impressed (although I didn't know her previously). On the first day of our conversation, she invited me to "her office", but I couldn't make it. So I went with her just yesterday, after work. Before that, we had lunch together and she explains to me about the business she was in. Starting from the history (all the insurance, food and water filter industry covered) and the McDonald's and everything (people who had been to LB meetings should know this) bla bla bla. The part that she always stress on is how her parents raised her, how her mother did rubber tapping to support her schooling, her father is a carpenter, and they are very poor. When she started this business, she invest 30k, and she get 100k in 2 months. She bought her mother a ring worth RM4k and her mother cried. OMG, I was really impressed.

During the lunch she asked me how much would I invest. I told her I have RM5k savings. She then came out with a story of her colleague in LB, 2 sisters who took personal loans to get RM30k. She didnt actually tell me on her marketing plan first. She just tell me stories about her success, and her colleague, and her husband's and her brother's.. To my surprise, I truly believe her. I never joined any MLM before, even my bestfriend approach me to join her in Amway and Zhulian etc etc. I'm really not into any MLM business. I don't like chasing people to join me, or persuading and convincing people to buy things. Just not my type. I never heard of LB before, but I've seen the advert board each time I drove to my office.

Then, A asked me when is the fastest that I can get the money to invest? Whoaaaa...now now, I havent said anything to her yet. I just told her than it's interesting. She told me that she invest 30k and straight away hold a high position (count?). She actually insist me on investing RM30k, my goodness! I told her I dont have a RM30k, my savings all gone. Then she asked me to fork out all my left over savings (RM5k). I already told her that it was for my rainy day, but she said i can surely get back my capital (RM5k) plus my commission in a few months. Her husband infact, made 300% commission within 6 months.

I told her i couldn't do that. Then she said, at least give her RM2700 to allow her to give me the franchisee license so that I could attend their training and everything. RM2700 is also a big amount for me as I have so many things to pay for. I told her I can't. Then she asked me to prepare RM250 by the end of the day to enable myself to join a meeting (or something like that) in a hotel this weekend. I didn't said yes to her, but I agreed to follow her to her "office" in menara HLA, without knowing that actually who goes there means that they have agreed to join.

I went there after work with A, she introduced me to her older brother, who looks like a very shy guy (he's a book worm, I can tell by his face). Then he started to talk, exactly the same thing A has told me. They convince me on how they wanted to open more market to Bumiputra (I'm Malay by the way) and sort of. Its getting late and more people coming in, its a full house. She told me about a UPM student who is making RM50k per month. I asked myself, how they did this actually.

After her brother had explain to me on the marketing plan whatsoever, she asked me if I have RM250 with me. I said yes, because I planned to pay my credit card that eve. She asked me to hand over the money to her in order for the to register me. I took the RM250, and gave to her. OMG. I think it comes with the feeling, I don't want to actually embarassed myself infront of her brother and many friends and many other people. Shit, they were all there to join, how come I could rejected it?

The way how they persuade and impress people into the business
never changed from Day 1. Hmm.. A never mentioned about how
Steven Yeam came from little Klang and ventured into Hong Kong?
hahaha oh wells, back to the

Ms. X actually went to the office and paid up RM 250 after so much
persuasion by A. To us, it is just the feeling and we all do thing following
what our heart tells us to do. Ms. X could just reject everything and
just walk away. When it comes to money, our eyes open very big, and
our jaw open wide. But when the truth is revealed, our eyes open even
BIGGER and jaw open WIDER.

Sister SHOCKED with investment of RM 36K

So, it has been a while since i last blogged about Lampe Berger.

But I need to share one piece of news here with you.
With how these people in Digital Crown Holdings Limited (DCHL)
are running the MLM is totally ruining the life of many. Many whom
are young and innocent. Many who do not know anything about money
management and the risk of taking loan.

I received one email today by this lady questioning me the rationality
of all the investment and what-not. She was SHOCK! READ ON

Hi,
Actually I'm in shock because of my younger sister has just asking me for a loan of 36K to 'invest' in DCHL.
She has already 'invest' 2.5K (she is supposed the 'franchisee' now.. right?) and she got lampeberger stuff as her free gift.. she said. But when I check the DCHL website, to be a franchisee.. you have to sell or use the product up to 2.5K and it is not a free gift. But in her case, you pay 2.5K, get the lampberger product as free stuff. Don't you think it is little bit weird here?
After 3 days joining as franchisee level, she asking the whole family for a loan of 36K. She even suggest me to make a personal loan with the bank for her.. I believe the level that she wants is the 'Count'.
I don't know much about DCHL, and this is the first time I ever heard about it. And.. the first time I heard you need 36K to enter MLM. She and her group concept.. get more people to 'invest'..the much the better... is this what DCHL really promotes? Please.. I need an explanation... and please reply a.s.a.p..

I'm not surprise how shocked can she be. With her sister asking her
RM 36K is like asking for her life. I pity them. But why? This have
to be brought to many others, do not let your love ones fall into all
these. Investing RM 36K and wat about the returns?
What about the damage which will be made later on?

One friend i've known through this blog is asking for my help
to help her return 2 TWO! signature lamps when she invested
as Count. HOW la? I told her put it on e-bay on slashed price and
pray that they will sell.

She wrote to me because this blog is pretty much exposed outside in
the world wide web (WWW) aka Internet. Do a search of anything on
Steven Yeam Network (SYN), DCHL, Lampe Berger + scam, cheat, etc..
AND
You will end up having my blog in top 10 or top 20. Which is really good.
So, i will reply her soon enough after my lunch now ;)

IT IS JUST SYN...?? True or False??

Ad, a recent commenter said that, DCHL/Lampe Berger got nothing to do
with all the scandals and what-not.. I beg to differ.. Literraly yes they don't
but still, they are part of it.. See what Ad wrote,

ad said...

we, its NOT DCHL that scam people, it's a bunch of people, or so called "team", under the name SYN a.k.a Steven Yim Network that scams others. by stating Lampe Berger, u indirectly affiliate other innocent or ethic group of mlm team with SYN.

SYN was a shame of LB or even worse, whole MLM industry. i'm not against your, just that it seems like you haven't know whats the relationship between SYN, and DCHL/LB.

it was SYN that promise u a beemer. it was SYN that educate you dont have to sell goods. it is SYN that tells you pay for a count and find 5 people only. but SYN never tells you u have to maintain quota. it is SYN that promise you 5 figure income.

again, its SYN that exploit the system build by DCHL/LB. DCHL/LB is the distributor, while SYN is the selling channel, how SYN sells it is SYN's business, DCHL only provide the goods. how SYN wants to educate the downlines is not entirely DCHL business.

if u research more in SYN, you'll know more dirty secret what SYN had done to hong kong MLM industry.

hope this clear things up, but the damage has been done, and hope u really understand what i'm trying to say, and i can't do much clearer then that.

My say would be, yes they are the same. DCHL acquired the license from
Lampe Berger, while Lampe Berger grants the license. So they are the same.

It it is widely known that most of the bunch that scams, cheat
and lied are from Steven Yeam Network (SYN).
In Malaysia, LB is operated under the umbrella of RZ Corporation.

RZ Corporation is under the Malaysian Direct Distributors Association (MDDA).

I guess, they are not as what they said " Ethical, Responsive, Excellence"

If RZ Corporation takes more care in their member's doing!
If DCHL/Lampe Berger does more investigation on what's going on..!
The situation would be a lot more different.

Money Mind blog on the names of MLM or business-kind scams on the
3rd January 07.

I decide to start this thread and hope some of you can update if you come across any scams or businesses of similar nature, so that we can help others from being scammed.
