My complaints is about FHTM. I quit this company today as I did the math and figured out that its simply three people putting in money to pay one person. If 3 people sign up at 300 each and the manager gets 100 what happens to the other 200 per person. On a line of nine people thats 1800 times how many lines deep. And if they are paying out $400 bonus checks when you reach the higher level and people are still only paying 300 where do they get the other 100. It has to be coming from somewhere. I urge everyone to sit down and look at how their pay structure is set out and do the math yourself. And what about these supposedly great products and services. Most if not all of them are so overpriced its ridiculous. AMA in Alberta is about $80 per year. Theres is 180.00
per year. Even with a supposed rebate you are paying more than if you went somewhere else. By the way I contacted Peter Lamas and found out they are no longer affiliated with FHTM. My complaints about this company just continue to grow. What kind of company recruits people to sign up people so they dont have to do anything. They talk in their presentation about how awful it is to have a JOB yet I see all these people running around me going to meetings, bringing people into their homes doing presentations. It looks like a lot of work for something thats supposed to give you all this "freedom". I hope if enough people talk about the stupidity of this business we can shut it down. If anyone has a response let me know.

NO, FHTM is NOT a scam!!!

Is Morals1 starved for attention or what. I might have missed some of his posts. So, I don't know if he has ever been in FHTM himself (I guess it's a he.) Nevertheless, he is spewing a lot of harsh criticism at a company, which does not deserve it. I basically agree with the comments of altagirl73 and Macronder. I very recently joined FHTM. In the past I have been in several MLM's, and never had any success except selling the products.

In the brief time I have been in Fortune, I have found everyone I have met to be very good representatives of what I regard as THE BEST MLM ever, and I am off to a good start – better than any other ventures. Before I was introduced to Fortune, I had decided I would never participate in another MLM. However, as soon as I saw the presentation, I knew I had to join Fortune. FHTM was created and designed to help everyone who is willing and able to work to be successful. It clearly is not something for nothing. Anyone, who joins Fortune should be fully aware that they will have to work to be successful. Common sense tells you that.

As the quote Macronder mentioned says "MLM is for everybody, not everybody is for MLM."

It does help if you are a natural “people person.” Depending on a person's personality, some might have to work harder than others to “get out of their comfort zone” and approach others about the opportunity. That will be a basic determinant of success. There are millions of people out there, who are very capable of building an FHTM business.

It should be very clear after seeing the Fortune presentation that a lot of people contact will be necessary to build a business. Anyone who thinks otherwise is being naive. When I presented the plan to a friend recently, I emphasized to her that I had some concerns about who she would sponsor, and I repeatedly made the point of the need to get out of one's comfort zone.

The fact is that FHTM offers an OPPORTUNITY for success to people at a time when many millions of us don't see much opportunity. I know – Morals1 will say FHTM is preying on the downtrodden. Since I happen to be one of those downtrodden, and I don't see ANY other way out of the mess that I am in, I am thankful that Fortune at least offers me an opportunity. It is up to ME with the help of my upline (which is great by the way) to make a success of the opportunity.

Now, back to Morals1. Morals1 seems like a misnomer to me. He and others who harshly criticize FHTM seem like despicable dream-stealers to me. I hesitate to say this, because he will probably salivate over it, but comments like his have really thrown cold water on the dreams of some people I know, who were already in Fortune and some who were considering the opportunity. And, the bad-mouthing is not justified!

I had a bad experience with a major TV and appliance retailer (it was NOT Best Buy) a few years ago. It was like working with a car salesman during the original purchase and I later found out that he had indeed SCREWED me. When I later confronted the store manager about it, he passed me off to the home office, and they told me corporate policy would not allow them to remedy my screw-job. This is the first time I have blogged about this incident, and of course I still am NOT naming the company. Crazy things happen and people complain about ALL companies rightly or wrongly, but companies stay in business, because for the most part they do a good an honorable job.

So, Morals1, why don't you take your acid tongue some where else. Get a life and let people with real dreams have an opportunity to realize them on their own.

I worked hard and FHTM has cheated me out of my pay!
But I still believe in Direct Marketing!

I just have to say that it is no surprize that there are people out there who cant handle working a program that truly offers a way to make an income that will surpass what anyone would pay you in a traditional job. Most people I meet that think this or any other program is a scam is because you actually have to work! These are the same people who make less that $10 an hour, take long lunch hours, cheat there boss of the time that they get paid, call in sick and will never do anything to go forward in there lives. They will instead sit at there desk and dream of getting married to someone who will make tons of money and save them from there poor pittiful lives. Well That truly NEVER Happens!
Every business needs customers, every business has the right to pay those who do more for them, they also have every right to market products Via through go getters so they will not have to pay people to sit on there ass's and not do anything for the company just so they can have a pay check. I have got news for everyone, direct marketing is our future! Companies can no longer afford to pay idiots to work for them with all of the health care bull and tax problems. This is truly the way for those who want to have a real pay check coming in and have a life to go share. I have lost more money in the stock market this year than I care to share!.
If you think that joining a company and sitting on your butt to see if it works is how to measure its value then I would imagine you are the same people who ownes an exercise video and equipment and thinks that watching it sit in the corner is how to loose weight!
Nothing in life happens without getting off of your butts and making it happen!

So the truth for all of you who have nothing better to do that to bitch about the truth as to why you did not make money which is you just did not put out any effort, is to get off of your missinformed butts and see that you are truly the problem, not the company.

However this is not the case with FHTM! When I saw FHTM I looked into it and decided to join. After working my butt off and bringing them over 900 new customers I have yet to be paid! I have turned them over to the authorities and hope to get this resolved. I encourage everyone not to do business with them.
I since then have moved over to another company that I am very happy with and are paying me ontime as I should be. However it does not help that I am over $40, 000 short of pay this year due to this company FHTM.

I know how to build a business and have brought this company alot of money. I just want to get what was promised to be my pay. This company has given good marketing companies a really bad name and that is not fair. I am not a member of AMway but they own a football stadium now and no one that goes there thinks it is a scam!

Thank God I had a chance to move to another company before I lost everything!

Myself and a very good friend of mine were talked into signing up for FHTM Canada on the good word of a close friend of mine who was suppose to be our "Sponsor", the only thing is that I found out that she wasn't a very good friend at all, she only had $$$$$ signs in her eyes. Needless to say we unwittingly signed up and had our friends and family sign up only to be left in the dust, scratching our heads saying "what just happened here"? Why isn't anything happening to our team, when we were promised time after time by our "Sponsor" that she would indeed work with us to build our team and told the elderly ladies that she would "build their team for them" NOT TO WORRY. When we started questioning our "Sponsor" she left town never to be seen again, isn't that interesting? Anyway we all ended up dropping out of this great business after never receiving any type of guidance only empty promises and lies. By the way if you are a FHTM Rep in Canada, there isn't a head office in Canada even though they lead you to believe this. And please make sure you read the 35 page policy manual especially the fine print (Scary). We are in the process of trying to recoup some of our losses with FHTM as we feel we mislead our friends and family as they trusted us and we let them down.
