Default Help with VemmaBuilder

Dear kayaking girl,

I read with interest your reply concerning vemmabuilder. I have been a member for quite a while & have had a very difficult time getting sign-ups to build my business. I have purchased ALOT of vemmabuilder leads, but only had 1 member to join. I have a huge downline in place, but cannot get people to join. If they do, they quit quickly. I need immediate help to get this business growing or just give up. I have asked my upline people for help, but they are always really busy & don't seem to care too much. It is very frustrating.

Can you help me? I will be happy to provide my username & password for you to check out how big my downline really is & whether you feel it is worth my time & money to stay with it. I would even be willing to share my profits with someone who can help me get this business making money. Are you possibly interested?

I am at wit's end. Please let me know as soon as possible.

Rick Simpson

Smile Misperception on Vemma

Hi members,

I’m a Vemmabulider member. Before I joined Vemma, I was a banker, 20 years in a bank as an Assistant Vice President. I had many experiences with MLM companies, among others, Amway, DXN, CNI, Alcon and…..etc. The reason I joined MLM is not because of the product line, of course I like most of the quality products offered by those companies, but what makes me join in is, the MLM business concept. I like the idea of ‘time compounding’ concept, ‘exponential growth’ concept and ‘private franchising’ concept. You can’t find all these attributes in any conventional business model.

Vemma in particular, attract my interest because it is done online which is much more easier compared to the way of doing things back in 1980s. Of course, there are many others like Vemma. But why Vemma?

I quit my job about 6 years ago because I could not see myself going through a smooth path to the top. But I need to have money to get on with my life.

My friend, a trusted friend whom I know for many years came over to my house one night. He told me briefly about his uncle making thousands of dollar a week from Vemmabuilder program. I asked him “Is it true?” He asked me to check on the net to find out more about this program. He also asked me to check the Vemma office in Kuala Lumpur and meet some of the Vemma members. That sounds fair to me as I, being an ex-banker, know how important to conduct proper due diligence before taking any action.

If you study carefully the Vemma compensation system, it does not resemble a pyramid scheme. This is genuine MLM program done through internet. You can take a look here and read on the compensation plan.

I agree, there are some members, not only Vemma but many other, in pursuing to get more members, they spam. Some do not properly explain what it is, so those who receive the mail would think it is rubbish or pyramid scheme. Recently, on 6, 7 and 8th of Feb 2009, Vemma had a grand exhibition at PWTC in Kuala Lumpur celebrating their success in Malaysia.

The innitial email I recieved from them was a Thank you for joining Vemmabuilder message. I had never joined them or ever contacted them.

Next I begin recieving emails informing me that people are joining Vemmabuilder in my downline and that I may have checks coming to me as they become paying members, That I only need to join as a paying member to recieve these checks credited to my account from my down line.

I continue recieving these these emails telling me that this person or that person has just signed up in my downline at one point after about two weeks I recieve an email telling me that I have 892 people in my down line and with each email they keep telling me that I must sign up as a paying member in order to recieve all these downline checks.

At the next stage they are sending me emails telling me that this or that person in my downline has upgraded to paying member status and that I definately have checks coming to me. I've been recieving about a dozen of these emails daily for the past week. With each email the reminder that I must become a paying member to recieve these downline checks.

The whole thing is nothing more than a Pyramid scheme In which if you are to join up as a paying member they sell you their product at ridiculously inflated prices and you are required to purchase a required amount of their product on a monthly basis. They also have a monthly membership fee, most likely fees for promotional materials at outrageously inflated prices.
The fees you will be charges will far outweigh any downline commission checks that you will recieve, not to mention money that you will spend while attending sales conferences and rallies for recruiting purposes.
As with most scammers they will soak you for every penny that they can get out of you.

I'm not about to join up with them. I despise MLM marketing schemes and spammers. It makes me particularly angry that they have signed me up as one of their downlines without my permission.
I too am having the same experience with Vemmabuilder. They are sending me messages like I have contacted them in some way. It says on the bottom of the lastest e-mail; You are receiving this email, because you signed up for a free test drive of the VemmaBuilder system. Well, that is a very dishonest statement. So in reply to kayakinggirl, I appreciate your opinon, but to say they are honest simple isn't so. I am just on my second e-mail where they say people are joining Vemmabuilder in my downline and that I may have checks coming to me as they become paying members. As GunslingerNW did, I haven't been running any ads and have no idea how they hooked into my e-mail with my name. does anyone have any ideas? I just don't care for this sleazy method at all.

Default Possible source of names and email addies

I too am getting spam and claims that I joined Vemmabuilder when I did no such thing.

I've been thinking,where did these people get my name and email address?

Then it came to me that I've been entering a netbook sweepstakes on CompUSA (TigerDirect) weekly (for the past 2 months).

Has anyone else here been entering that sweepstakes?

Default Obviously blinded by Vemma

Kayakgirl has obviously been blinded by VemmaBuilder. Please see detailed log information below from another person who was scammed by them.


Re: VemmaBuilder: YES YOU DO PAY MIN. $80.00
I spent a week corresponding with a VemmaBuilder "Coach" and have documented my experience and information below:

* I received an unsoliceted e-mail thanking me for signing up for VemmaBuilder. The e-mail offered me a "warm welcome" and supplied me with a password and user ID. The hype was the usual bombardment of "point and click your way to riches and success with our team!"

* I entered the website without risk as a "Pre-enrollee" without risk or providing any credit card information. There is no risk in looking around.

* The site has a tabbed menu that provides broad information on several aspects of the business. By "broad" I mean vague and full of rah-rah. At the end of each section of the menu there was a link urging me to sign up to be a full member!

* One of the first confusing bits of information was their "Success Line 1" and "Success Line 2" and talk about building my own team. They claimed I would automatically jump ahead of other pre-enrollees who sign up after me and that those pre-enrollees would become part of a team under me and that I would receive compensation whenever those under me were successful.

* I was given information on how to contact my VemmaBuilder "coach" with questions.

* I immediately started receiving automated e-mails saying things like, "Congratulations! Debbie has just been added to your Success Line!" Each day I would receive at least a dozen of these automated e-mails using a short assortment of congratulatory messages and first names only of the pre-enrollees under me.

* I did exchange e-mails with my assigned "coach". Bottom line was more rah-rah and vague answers to my questions.

* In the compensation section of the site menu, there is a confusing table with acronyms and jargon not previously explained.

* I sent more questions to the coach and received polite e-mails with sketch details and always encouraging me to call her. I didn't want to get involved in a sales talk right away over the telephone. I hate that. It is too easy to get bamboozled and lose one's train of thought.

* As far as initial investment, in order to enroll, you must purchase the product (minimum $60.00). On the enrollment page, it asks for credit card information to enroll and order your product. AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE IN SMALL PRINT IS A BOX TO CHECK THAT SAYS, "Click this box to agree to the monthly fee for access to VemmaBulder website access." IT DOESN'T SAY HOW MUCH THE MONTHLY FEE IS! I found out it is $19.95 per month.

* Also the site mentions something about setting up your AutoShip for the product. The product is packaged in group quantities that go upwards in the hundreds of dollars.

* The initial rah-rah mentions that they provide leads! They say you don't need to find your own. They don't mention that you have to pay extra for the leads. The coach told me that the dozens of pre-enrollees that keep showing up on my SuccessLine 1 cost them $2.00 each.

* There is also a SuccessLine 2. I didn't even bother to ask for an explanation. The website just baffles.

* Also, there is the matter of training. Something on the site mentions receiving training materials. I can only imagine there is another cost for that.

* Another very peculiar thing I found on one the "pre-enrollee" menu pages was a phrase (I don't recall it word for word) that said something to the effect that basically, your main goal is to get someone else to sign up for VemmaBuilder. It smacks of a classic pyramid scheme veiled in the sale of nutrition suppliments.

At the end of exploring for several days, I decided it was just too complex a system to manage and to personally audit my own progress if I were to sign up. You would pretty much have to trust your a** to VemmaBuilder.

I never submitted my credit card information. In their initial e-mail trying to get you to join, they do provide a quick and easy way to opt out and be eliminated from their system. Fortunately I kept the original e-mail so I was able to go back and opt out.

Default Vermma is a Scam

SO does Herbalife Intenational! Their products are 100% natural and are backed with a 30day money back guarantee. At least with them you call to get your money back a real person answers the phone and you don't have to fight for you. I seel Herbalife from my home and am doing well with it, these get rich quick scams are just that a scam. You have to apply yourself to make money. With Vermma you are on hold forever and have to fight.

I looked into this company and thousands of people are reporting it as a scam. If thousands are reporting as a scam, experience has taught me it is a scam. How they got my email address was from the link on the Oprah show. Who I have also contacted as my email address was not to be given out as per their policy. They too will be looking into this. Will be interesting to see what happens there.

Someone at the top may not make much at all and a very motivated person thousands below will make thousands more. A pyramid is illegal. Vemma is the most complete vitamin mineral supplement on the market and also includes a fantastic healthy energy drink called Verve. I have been with the Vemma company for over a year and have found it to be very honest and pays well. Vemma in NOT a get rich scam you can make a great income but it will take work over 2 to 3 years some faster, depends on the person. I do not use the Vemma Builder method of building clients but many are very successful using it. Vemma is a hybrid company so you can market to commercial businesses as well as individual people and on line it is up to you. It is your business. The Phoenix Suns have endorsed Verve as their drink of choice. The prestigious Four Seasons Hotel in Las Vegas also carries Verve. They are not paid as sponsors of Verve, they run a business and are paid like everyone else. This is a financially solid company that pays real checks. There is an amazing amount of support and training. Everything that is negative written above is NOT based on fact. There will always be someone that will find something wrong with everything. But Vemma is truly an upstanding honest company and that is from experience. I would not be involved in any way if it were other wise. I have several thousand customers and members who have found a huge help with their health by taking Vemma so I find it rewarding in many ways. Vemma is a company that does not have any membership fees and gives you two free web sites. The only requirement to be a business member is you are taking the Vemma yourself. So you use the product feel better, make some money for income or just to cover your Vemma or Verve, and help others become healthier simple as that. The true pyramid is the corporate business where only the CEO's can make the great income and a very few in-between. The average person has no chance to become independently wealthy. This is not so in the Vemma company. So for me it is all smiles. This is written to honestly give the true picture of a great company. If you are a positive person who thinks outside the box, who is honest and would like to be healthier or wealthier then write to me I will be glad to help you get started as a member or customer. Oh yeah and Vemma also backs their products with a 100% empty bottle money back guarantee and that is the truth 100%

Smile The real culprit is not Vemma/Vemmabuilder

Greetings to all. I joined Vemmabuilder on 24th June 2009 and have been paid regularly. As to your case of not subscribing to Vemma's emails, it was not due to them but your known contacts or someone else who was able to get hold of your email address. As Vemma members, we are to adhere to Vemma's code and are prohibited to do that, which may result in dire consequences to our account. Many of us in my group are actually earning good income from Vemmabuilder. In fact, I was just informed that I will be receiving an extra USD200 for my weekly performance bonus, which is an additional sum to my weekly fast start & cycle bonuses.

Does Vemmabuilder or any associated names sell ANYTHING? if so your first statement is misleading. if not then it MUST be thought of as a MLM or pyramid system .How does it receive its income ?
