I think it is a scam!

Your post is a good reminder to everyone to look past the hype of any business venture. No real easy money and, dispite the claims, you will never get rich just by being in a downline. To even have a chance to break even and maybe earn you need to invest time and money.

If you are interested in selling actual products look into affiliate marketing. That's where you develop relationships with stores with programs, promote real products on your website and earn commission on sales. It does take work; you'll need a website and you'll have to put effort in. Affiliate marketing does not require you to recruit others and you do not pay to join any program. Be wary of programs that ask you to invest or pay a fee in order to promote. Your invest ment is in your website hosting & design, hours adding links and content and promotional efforts. I sugggest you do not buy a ready made affiliate site, get a domain and try a blog or with html a simple design to get your feet wet. Learn basic html to design your own site.
