This is pretty long and there are no pictures, but the end is spectacular! The emails on pink background are from a gal named Mary J. We disagreed.

Yeah, I read the letters. Mostly from a bunch of skeptics, like yourself, who have neither the talent, nor the drive, nor the ambition, to make as much money as we do, yes, we do, the people in Global Online Systems. It's no scam, all I have to do is look at the money I'm making. Shame on you, Rob. Trying to cheat people out of making the income of their dreams. I know, that sounds like hype. But one by one, my dreams are coming true, and I'm not lying to you. I get better at this every single day, and every single day my income increases. If I were lying, I wouldn't take the time to write you this letter. I would send you a convenient auto-responder. The truth is, I feel sorry for you, and all of those poor folks who can't see past their own insecurities far enough to try something that is completely risk-free. I do want to thank you, however, for responding in a cordial manner.

One more thing. We don't use those silly UGLY signs! I would be ashamed of myself if I had to do such a thing! I look at those signs myself and know that it's probably a scam! Why would I put up advertising I wouldn't even believe myself?? And I thank God for the advertising I have on monster.com! That's where most of my recruits come from! And they are so thrilled to be with me, and I am so thrilled to be with them. Tell that to your scared-stiff supporters and their letters. If they're not willing to make a change, we tell them straight out, hey, then this is probably not for you!

Oh well, I suppose nothing I say will make you stop and think about your own thoughts; who am I but a successful Global Online Systems person who just started in the business and already has made $1600 in under 3 weeks. That's right, it grew since last time I e-mailed you. But like I said in my last letter, no worries. I've already got recruits who are ready to live their dreams, just as I am doing, and I know I'll get many, MANY more, expert or not. I don't have to be an "expert" to see that the money is rolling in, do you? Yet, I am the CEO and President of my own company! I'm expert enough to already be making GREAT money. I don't know how you can't absolutely love that! I do.

Thanks again for your swift and cordial response. Maybe I'll hear from you again. Have a blessed and great day.

Best regards,

Mary J.

Rob,

Thanks for your swift and cordial response again.

You're right, I should cool it on the insults. I apologize. I was just being human, firing back to the insults you've aimed at Global Online Systems. Seriously, though, you're right, and I'm not trying to be patronizing to you. I will try to rise above myself. Seriously, I do apologize; it was wrong and immature of me to insult you back.

In answer to your question, though, yes I do feel it is ethical for me to advertise on Monster.com. Full of lies?? Have you gotten that legally proven by a lawyer? I'd like to see you try it. The reason the ads are allowed there is because NONE OF IT is lies! You're not going to be successful at getting our ads off of Monster.com, because our ads are 100% accurate and true. Do you really think Monster.com would let itself be liable to a company that was a complete lie or scam? They could get sued for millions! They know what's up. Do you?

A lot of people who are looking for jobs would love to work from home! When I responded to the ad, I just wanted a job myself. But then when I found out that it was possible for me to own my own business and find out more about it for just 39.95 with a money-back guarantee, I thought about it for a little while, and I thought, "It WOULD be great to be my own boss and set my own hours and possibly make over 100 grand a year. I get my money back if I don't like it, so what is there to lose?" Plus business exploration is COMPLETELY tax deductible. Even if I went really really far with the business and later decided to stop and get my money back, I COULD, plus a lot more at tax time.

This is the way I see it. I know you don't see it the same; that's OK. But with all due respect, Rob, you've never been in the business. You really don't have a leg to stand on, when telling other people about how bad it is. I may not be an expert yet, but you know what it takes to be an expert? At LEAST being in the business. Look at it this way: If your car broke down, would you ask a neurosurgeon for advice on how to fix it? Of course not. The neurosurgeon, though he is probably a genius, most likely has no idea about fixing cars, because he's never been in the car fixing business. Along the same line, if a logical person is thinking about starting a new business, is it logical to take the advice of someone who's never even been in it? 

Well, that was a bit of a tangent, but the way I see it is this: I'm helping people make better lives for themselves. Bottomline. My coaches are helping me make a better life for myself, and since all I have to do is copy their success, I can do that as well as teach it to the people I recruit to own their own businesses. That's extremely ethical if you ask me. 

Our ads on Monster.com are not meant to be misleading, though obviously to some people they are. We simply know that a lot of people, who start out looking for just a job, really have in mind that they would really love it if they didn't have to answer to a boss, if they could have their own hours, if they could earn what they were really worth. As I said, it wasn't what I was looking for at first, either, but thank God I found it! The serious people who really have a strong desire to make a change in their lives feel just the way I do. At least in the Global Online System. Other Herbalife distributors may be shoddy and put out trashy advertising and the ugliest 14 page paper booklets I've ever seen, but Global Online Systems does not. 

Where would you suggest we advertise, if not to job seekers? When people click on our ads, then get the decision package, we call them (yes, a real live person calls them, not a voice recording!) and go through it with them. We tell them straight out that it is not just a job, it is owning a business, and that it is a completely different mindset. If they didn't know it before, we tell them then. Some people just click on the ads and request a call for more information, not ordering the Decision Package. We call them, too, and let them know it's owning a business and not just a job. If a person clicks on the ad and doesn't request more information, fine, we won't give them any! We're not pushy. People just come to us because they want to work from home, have their own hours, and earn what they're worth! By advertising on Monster.com, we're simply giving regular people the opportunity, if they choose to take it, to change their lives dramatically for the better. 

I'm sorry you feel it is unethical to help people have better lives. I must respectfully disagree. Have a great and blessed day, Rob. Maybe I'll hear from you again.

Best regards,

Mary J.

Rob, 

Thanks so much for your website!! You must have heard this story a million times by now, but here's mine: I recently responded to a work from home ad in the online classifieds of my local paper. I went to their website, viewed their presentation. It was Global Online Systems. I thought their website was good, very persuasive and appealing. So I ordered the decision package. Had I known about your site, I would have know it was Herbalife. 

Three years ago, I got suckered into Newest Way to Wealth. Got the $299 
package - never made my money back (go figure!). 

It has been a little over a week since the decision package arrived. Interestingly enough, they include an herbalife presentation on how to sponsor people on the CD rom. thought maybe this time it could be different. I'm not very good at selling things (even though they tell you 
you don't have to be) and I hate putting pressure on people and dealing with objections, etc. I think the biggest point you made (for me anyway) is how saturated Herballife is online and offline. I'm so glad I found your website in time to save me from losing more money on this. I have a phone appointment with my "mentor" for the first time tomorrow morning. I'll be asking her for a refund. 

Thanks again, 

~Alicia 

Do you feel that this woman wasted her $9 shipping? I do. This dishonest approach of hiding the herbalife name tricked her. Do you hide the herbalife name in your ads?

Rob,

First of all, you forgot to include a choice C. Choice C is the male, who has never himself been pregnant, but who studied childbirth for 2 years, including more than 100 letters from successful pregnant women and 100 letters from unsuccessful pregnant women, and wrote a 12-page article on pregnancy, AND has EXPERIENCE by taking care of AT LEAST ONE!(if not hundreds of) pregnant woman! Your choice B is unacceptable!!!! That man has never delivered a baby, I DON'T want me to be his first shot! Think about it, Rob! Would it be easier to understand if we put it in a male example? If a male has prostate cancer and has to have a consultation as to whether or not one of his testicles must be removed? Who would YOU choose?

A. the female, who has never herself had a testicle, but who studied only prostate problems for 2 years, including more than 100 letters from men who got to keep both testicles as a result of their problem and 100 letters from men who lost one or both of their testicles as a result of thier problem, and wrote a 12-page article on prostate cancer

B. A man who has had prostate cancer and lived through it

or 

C. the female, who has never herself had a testicle, but who studied only prostate problems for 2 years, including more than 100 letters from men who got to keep both testicles as a result of their problem and 100 letters from men who lost one or both of their testicles as a result of their problem, and wrote a 12-page article on prostate cancer, and has treated AT LEAST ONE! (if not hundreds) of men with prostate cancer.

What I'm saying is...I HAVE a third choice. My coaches and their coaches ARE in the business and ARE making tons of money. Not only I, but your writers have a third choice too. And you know it. They are the ones a logical person would listen to when trying to make a decision about starting up their own business. So I hate to have to say it again, but shame on you, Rob, for parading yourself around as an expert, and turning these poor innocent people away from the opportunity to live their dreams. 

Once again, the lady in that letter did NOT get started in the business, so she has absolutely no idea what she is talking about, not any more than you do. Call me heartless, but NO, I do not find it "heart wrenching" that she risked $9.00. 

What I find TRULY heart wrenching is the fact that she allowed herself to be cheated by reading your website and now she just gave up the best opportunity on the planet (in my humble opinion). YOU are the one cheating people out of their money, Rob. Not me. All I get from them if they don't pursue my business is $9.00. You are robbing them of the potential to make over $10,000 each month, and all they have to do is duplicate the success of people who ARE making $10,000+ a month. Chew on that for a while. Tell me if that makes sense to you. Yeah, you could say I'm "cheating" people out of $9.00. Honestly, that doesn't bother me. You could lose a 10 dollar bill and not even know it was gone from your wallet. Right? You are CHEATING people out of living their dreams. 

Well, Rob, this time I hope you read my e-mail more carefully so that I don't have to reiterate things so often. Hope to hear from you soon.

Best regards,

Mary J.
