Question Is VemmaBuilder a scam?

I have been getting a lot of information from VemmaBuilder about investing to be a PAID member for vitamins that I am not sure if its real or not and since I haven't seen them on any other sites I would like to know.
Thank you for your time.

Default Vemmabuilder

Mercenary has got it in one ! The only thing that I would add is remember the one about 'if it seems too good to be true'

I've been getting a lot of spam from them these past three weeks in my business email account. I run several ads through various free online classified advertising sites and apparently these Vemmabuilder people were able to get my account profile details name and email address from one of these free advertising sources.

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.

Well they do provide an unsubscribe link and I used it. I'll let you know if it worked or if I'm still getting spammed by them.

Send them a mail and ask them to keep your fees from the payments the admit that have to pay you.
Then they will be angry with you

Too late I've opted out of their emails. I guess that they will keep all that money.

Default as far as it goes with unsubscribing

It will work for awhile. I unsub. the first time these emails were being sent to me and they stopped coming, but 2 months later someone...under a different name...started sending me the same stuff.

If you unsubscribe the link confirms your e-mail and you become aa target for any future scam mail from the same source.
Is better to abuse such mails and then block address before delete the message.
But some day you will receive again scam and spam mails because scammers are sending them randomly.
