Nov. 25, 2003 Dear Rob as your site warns of Mr Russell Gain and the work from home I thought I'd pass this URL onto you as well... (really long jobsite URL omitted). |

Hi, Rob: I so agree with you! It was so nice to see your website right after I received a spam mail message from Global Online Systems! I have lost lots of money trying to find the best and easiest work-at-home business. However, I haven't found all of them to be the same company, Herbalife. Doesn't matter - many are scams ... too many! I sent a letter, including your initial webpage ... perhaps they'll be as curious as I was to see what you had to say and click into your following pages.

Rob, Thank you, thank you, thank you. I had made the phone call and was moments from writing a check for my "Decision Making Packet" (now at $45) when I stumbled upon your site. I will be forwarding this message to everyone I know. Thanks again for your article and saving me $45 bucks.

Nov. 26, 2003 Dear Rob Your article exposing "Global Online Systems" as Herbalife, Saved me not only money but embarrassment and frustration!!! I was searching around on Monster.ca for new career possibilities and this home based business kept popping up. I had seen signs and my inbox is flooded daily with taunts of making your fortune by working from home. I was feeling a little desperate financially as Christmas is just around the corner so I clicked on the website. Of coarse it was everything I wanted to hear, I was so close to sending the $39.95 to get the "decision" package! Although something was telling me that this wasn't right, at the same time if all these "success story people" were making money why couldn't I get in on it. I decided than to do a quick search to see what I could find out about the company. I looked it up on google and the 4th link down was yours. It caught my eye immediately and I have just finished reading the whole thing! Thank you so much for doing the research and making it available to the public. I will tell everyone I know and send your website to all my friends. Thanks again! SC |

Nov. 27, 2003 What you did is superb. I thought Global online systems might be a scam. Hence, I searched the search engine for details on it. I hope many have seen your page before signing up. Regards, Catherine

Rob, I've just been reading your article on herbalife and how it works. How long ago did you write this?? I have recently become a distributor and all the figures are way too high!!! I was not sent various info packs with no info in them, instead i was taken to a meeting where everything was explained to me. I then bought into the company at the cost of £115 - this is a non-profit pack that gives you all the info you need to start your company plus the products. Once you start taking the products its easy to sell - because you realise they do really work they increase your energy and can make you lose, gain or maintain your weight depending on what you do. Obviously it may be different process because i am in england - but its all done by the same company. You should also look at the board of scientific advisors (file attached) The top guys at Disney and Nokia have also just joined Herbalife to start the branding process so you will be hearing a lot more about us over the next few years. Also note that this company made 2billion dollors profit last year - they're definately doing something right!!! Sophie Comp |

Nov. 29, 2003 Dear Rob, Why do you trash Herbalife and Global Online Systems without trying the products or experiencing the business. I do not think you would like me to compomise your business with unfounded information. The business has been very good to me and all the people I have dealt with in GOS and Herbalife are upfront and honest people. I am a nurse by profession and I have found that the products deliver what they promise safely and for all people. I hope there are websites out there telling people to not pay attention or go to your website but I do not think people would spend money on you...you are not worth it. I hope you can sleep at night trashing businesses without facts. Your problem is in Sacramemto.....don't trash all of us...my municipality has rules governing puting up fliers and there are fines. There are all kinds of marketing strategies out there and you can not be proud of yours! I believe you need to apologize to all of us in the business who are honest people who sell the product because we know what it will do and believe in it and share the business with othere because we know people will be successful. We are trained to give good service to everyone! Diane Hack

Rob, Hi. My name is Adam. I'm 24 and I live in Ft. Worth, TX. I just want to thank you for publishing this information on the Internet or I would be out alot of money. I was a day away from investing in the Global Online Systems thing when my parents called expressing their concerns about it being a scam or just full of holes. I paid the $39 for the decision package and a guy from Canada called me to tell me about it. I was on the phone with him and his "mentor" when they told me that they market Herbalife. That should have made me think right there, but it didn't. I'm one of those people who is a little too trusting when it comes to business. I really need to cut that out! lol They wanted $379 for the startup package and I said I needed a month to save up. Anyway, my parents called yesterday(I hadn't told them about it until Thanksgiving Day) with concern saying that no matter what they say, you have to spend loads of cash and call alot to try to make money, at the same time try to recruit other people. Network Marketing. I decided to investigate and found your web site. Now that I know the truth, I'm not going to call the guy. He's waiting for me to call with the money. Let him wait...and wait. I don't know how useful this will be, but here is my "mentor's" name and info: Full Name: Francis and Susan Jooste Company: Global Online Systems Business Address: Edmonton, Alberta, Canada Web Page: http://www.maximizefreedom.com Anyway, thanks again. Sincerely, Adam I. |

God, get a life!!! Majority of Herbalife Distributors are just trying to earn a buck and get themselves either out of debt or just to get ahead. For me I do this because I want to be there for my kids to pick them up from school and not work for some slave driver who won't let me have the day off when the kids are sick. In Australia, it is illegal to put signs on telegraph poles, street lights and the like and we only put posters on approved community boards. My flyers go into letter boxes or into people hands. If they don't have the decency to respect their environment and put them in the recycling bill that is not my problem. Most of us are good hard working people and like any industry their are the people who are cold hard sellers giving us a bad name. You knock how much it is for us to get started in the this business, have you checked out how much for example a newsagency or a lawn mowing business or franchise is to buy and how much you would spend on running it profitably and advertising. I think you are just angry at the signs and junk that you find which is OK but do you have to start a whole web site!!! Relax a little and let us get on with our businesses. Megan Baker

Hi Rob I just wanted to thank you for your write-up on this company. I was looking for legitimate work and I think it's very dishonest of these companies to misrepresent themselves. I read your articles before having to go through further frustration...I'm sure once I finally found all this out I would have opted out. Thanks for saving me some time! Martina |

Rob Thank you for your enlightning internet area on Herbalife mlm. Saturday my interest in Herbalife started when I signed up for WeatherBug (local) and "work at home" was the sponsor I selected. When I learned it was Herbalife mlm, I suspected as much as I studied its structure and pricing. A keyword search for Herbalife surfaced nearly 600,000 websites. Saturation, or at least considerable competition looked very likely. Clearly advertising, demand and ultmate pricing is a major challenge for this product. I have my first followup phone call with the mentor Monday evening (no commitment yet). I had plenty of questions for him. Now I have some more (as well as a stronger case to walk away!). Thanks and God bless you for your insight and service, John S., Indianapolis |

Thanks so much for your story! I was laid off from my job in June and have been seeking employment. I kept receiving different “work from home” positions available from Monster.com and they all linked to “Global Online Systems” which prompted my google search. There I found your story and I do appreciate the $ saved from my dwindling pockets! Take care and I’ll remove those offending signs from the Hampton Roads Virginia area too! Michelle |

If you are like me, you'll agree that these are like ebay feedback: The negative ones are more interesting to read. |
