Though i am not sure about the business that follows this product purchase, this product was like it is worth it.
QVI Club has these holiday packages, which i thought is worth it for the spread of resorts that they have across the globe. when i handpicked few resorts and enquired with them if they have tie ups with QVI club, they have confirmed it.
Just want my dear BHPians thoughts on this. before i go ahead with this.
This is their website: Welcome to QVI Club
Please let me know your views |
Last week one of my friend came to convince me about QNet. Here is some fact finding..
1) Before QNet there was Gold Quest from same company which is resulted into big scam. Your friend will say that it was not company's fault. I got two reasons from two friends both looked unconvincing. I read Gold Quest cheated approx 2,65,000 people for Rs.30,000 each. Imagine this much money is gone outside our country I will do math for you
2,65,000 x 30,000 = Rs.7950000000. Heck I can not read this figure. India has lot of money.
2) QNet is Pyramid Scheme which they will not agree. Pyramid Scheme is not good for country. It pumps money out of country. Some country's have gone bankrupt due to these schemes.
3) They are providing Service to you, like Hotel package which you may use in your future. That is the risk taken by company. Most of Individual Representatives hardly use this service.
4) Come on how can you trust a company which sells products like Amazecua Bio Disc. I hope you do not buy healing pendants or najar surakha kawach from teleshopping. This is same product. Their explanation includes jargons like science and nano technology. Come On...
5) And one more thing, your friend is trying to sell high cost holiday package though they have low cost packages as well. It is minimu Rs.30,000 to become QNet representative. They sell higher priced packages because they get money out of it. I heard you do not need to pay single rupee to become a member. It does not hamper your ability to earn money from chain below. You need to sell higher priced products to get more money.
6) Such schemes are banned in US and Europe, though they tell some representatives are working there as well.
7) Definitely you can make money out of it if you are social person. But these schemes are banned after some time, there are always people who will burn their a**. And number multiplies with each level. You will be responsible for people's suffering due to ban as you grown this tree under you. If you start making member they you are starting a crime which will multiply with each level.
8) You must have heard Ganguly's, Tendulkar's, Richard Branson's name. Come on these people are already great and super capable performers, why do they need such schemes to secure their future? Come On...
9) QNet is banned in Nepal and Shri Lanka as well. In Shri Lanka QNet started it's operation with another name Lotus.
10) Pyramid schemes are illegal in many countries including Albania, Australia, Austria, Brazil, Canada, China, Colombia, Denmark, the Dominican Republic, Estonia, France, Germany, Hungary, Iceland, Iran, Italy, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, Nepal, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, the Philippines, Poland, Portugal, Romania, South Africa, Spain, Sri Lanka, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
India is not in this list. Neighboring countries like Nepal and Sri-Lanka have done this but not in India.

My friend is mad behind this scheme. I never trusted these schemes. I did this research to take out him from this. But you attend their session which is filled of bigger than life Glamor, then brainwash is sure. I feel really pity who fall to this prey. I could not help my friend but..
