[TAKE NOTE OF THE ADDRESS]
Google is very very powerful (ignore redundancy please) as my dog informed me of a phone call minutes ago.
it’s Sunday today. I was having my own version of siesta: being a couch patata in my turning chair, facing my deafening winamp playlist in my desktop computer while reading mitch albom’s “the five people you meet in heaven” when suddenly a phone call emerges. Though a little preoccupied, I rush to it pick up, thinking that the caller might be my april babe. Everything started when I heard the UNFAMILIAR VOICE. Take note, unfamiliar.
mind you, these calls and offers make you think like you’re a professional, gets you uplifted, or go boastful.
She introduced herself as Jean Ramos. I remembered her, my elementary schoolmate whose height is considerably a height. i was surprised because rather than talking about the years we didn’t hear about each other, she started talking about “network marketing” thingy she was networked to. She bragged more about what I will get, not I will be doing. Fifteen to thirty Philippine pesos will be on my palms in thirty days. I got a little bewildered over the amount, imagining of what I could buy (mind you, it’s money). i let myself be gullible to her persuasion, hoping I could get any details to it. then she invited me tomorrow for a little seminar. I refused, I was having ten thousand plans and one reason to not. then she insisted on another day, Wednesday. then suspicion hit me that point. she knew something, as if she was asking me questions she already knew the answers to. Time to move. I take note of their basics and half-decided to come to her trap. Then she told me these following details.
- Wear smart casual
- 3:30pm, and please, be professional. Come on time.
- 15th floor, Octagon Centre, San Miguel Ave. Ortigas Pasig. Marunong ka naman pumunta sa may megamall di ba? Sa likod lang yun.
I thought of checking the place out, but I had this habit of being hesitant going somewhere, especially if I’m alone and it’ll be my first time to be there. and besides, I’m not used to wear such “smart casual” or something since I go play-play life. but somehow curious, I go couched patata again but with an objective. so i started opening my browser, hoping to find resources for the unknown. Lo and behold, I found just what I needed.
Nuskin, Synergy One Global (or Synergy 1 Global), or whatever they might be calling it, based on opinions let go of the experienced ones. they were reflecting that the so-called “Multi-networking marketing” is synonymous to “Pyramidal Scam”. Dumbfounded by the statements, I prevented something others might be encountering too. accepting half their offer means not getting other contacts of mine to be having the same fate as mine, as they’ll be getting my contacts for this conspiracy.
Though some comments regarding the issue gave quite positive outputs, i decided to boycott the given schedule I was booked into. But in someway, I think it’s somewhat positive, which merely depends on how you look at it. the problem is, their foundation is fraud, strategies to forfeit. Anyway, it’s up to you if you’ll be spongebob-ing yourself there.
I guess my site will be your another enlightenment for this scam, or whatever you might be considering it.
Sorry Jean, I’m already rich. 
toodles.

someone just called me today and told me the very same stuff, nga lang ang price na binigay niya is 10 -25k a month, this really helped, im not coming anymore. sabi nila US-based company sila, i was asking them where did they get my contact number and sabi lng nila eh nakuha lang nila yun sa database nila. what made the call more suspicious eh hindi man lang nila inintroduce ung name ng company nila tpos nung tinanong ko kung ano bang gagawin ko sa company nila eh tsaka ko na lng daw malalaman pag nagpunta na ako dun. tinext ko pa sila para malaman kasi nakalimutan ko din namang tanungin sa phone. NSE philippines daw ang company name, sinabi rin niya na “be on time, you sound professional naman eh.” this blog really helped me, let’s spread the word…. and o yeah, sinabi rin niya na wear “smart casual” clothing :))
yeah!!! i got this call too!! a brother of a high-school classmate of mine called me! same story! ultimo ung paninilaw nia sa pera without telling me what the company is all about! akala ko nman some sort of call-center agents kelangan nila!! anyway, i actually have a sched today, but decided to make an alibi pra d mkpunta.. tinatamad kse ako and i’m not after the money at all. Kaya ako nagduda kse last minute ako nagback-out tapos willing pren sha i-reschedule ung meeting nmen! (DBA NPAKA-NEEDY??!) That’s d time nung tinanung ko na kung anu ba tlga name ng company, and what does it do. when i asked him that, he replied na he’s gonna answer my question later kse nagloloko daw ung globe! DUH!? i’m an ECE student and i know more about radio-waves transmission than him. kung may problema ang globe, affected din dpat fone and internet ko. OK sana ung excuse nia kaso he underestimated me. Ngaun na nabasa ku na tong blog mo, i’ll tell him exactly what you said. “SORRY RAYMOND! I’M ALREADY RICH TOO!” hehehe! thanx!
I received the same call. I am scheduled to meet the caller today at the same address. thanks to this blog. I found this after i’ve googled the name of the company… just being curious. NSE Philippines daw and the caller nicole also said the same line “be on time, you sound professional naman eh.”. Sorry Nicole, I’m already rich.

i pitty you guys. you didn’t even see what’s the project all about. you guys are pre judging which cause a big opportunity pass you by. do you totally believe in these blogs? these are all opinions, even our maids and our driver can put up a blog like this. Proctor & Gamble is actually making these kind of calls for their applicants not to research things to say about their company or what not to say. no wonder why philippines is a third world country, everybody’s living in a rat race, everyone’s just surviving not having a living because of poor mindset and programming. well here’s the fact “The most pervasive disease in the world is the disease of mediocrity”. good luck to your lives guys, i’m just concerned if you’re on a right financial path? or you’re just running a tread mill, or sitting on a rocking chair, you’re moving but not going anywhere. are you busy doing the right things? or are you being a couch potato watching life pass you by? reading blogs and becoming a victim. with what you’re currently doing right now do you think you could actually get what you want? your dreams has a price guys 5M house 1M car 1M travel 2M educ 20M retirement. do the math guys, welcome to the real world.
Rich people see opportunities. Poor people see obstacles. Rich people see potential growth. Poor people see potential loss. Rich people focus on rewards. Poor focus on the risks.
Rich people…take responsibility for the results in their lives and act upon the mind-set “It will work because I’ll make it work.” -T. HARV ECKER
natira ka 2loi

positive side - thanks 4 commenting.
negative side - thanks for commenting as well. well, like ive sed, it’s up to us, to the reader anyway. dont gave us that sagacious attitude like we don’t have any idea on what’s happening. if you like, go make yourself a post as well regarding this and its POSITIVE side that you’re trying to shit out of us. though i’m getting a little subjective in this comment, just make sure you fire your words on the topic, not on the people. disgust yourself for that.
e d kung maganda pala xa, e d go go go ka mag-isa. suportahan pa kita. 
melody - urur. pizza ko?
epals - magsama kayo ng negative side. ^^
good thing hindi ka tumuloy haha lakas ng gut insticts mo n_n
I agree. Last night may tumawag sa akin. beware of these persons:
1. Dandee De Guzman - 09228541284
2. Eduardo Prangan Jr. - 09156076376
their recruitments are bougus. I play for a while. Just to get enough information from them. What irritates me, is that they are forcing me to attend and that I would be unprofessional if I decline. When I got enough information on them, I googled the address. 15th floor Octagon building ortigas center that they gave me. This is annoying enough for me, NO COMPANY NAMES? or even NATURE OF THEIR BUSINESS?? baaah! Those assholes should think twice.

@ Francine: Don’t be a dick and start misleading people into your cult! There are more than a million opportunities in this world so do not tell these people that missing out on joining your NuSkin cult is a great lose! No it is absolutely not! In fact, we feel like winners not joining you cult called NuSkin or NSE Philippines! We do not want to be trained to mislead, deceive, lie, and misrepresent. That is what you guys are good in, right!? Common, thanks to Google, we all know the truth!
Your products are good, but you members suck! Your recruitment strategies suck! You deceive people! You lie! You misrepresent! You mislead! That is where you are all good at! And you train people to be like you!
I am rich! I am filthy rich! I am richer than each and every member in your cult! And I became rich without having to mislead, misrepresent, or deceive! I can put up as many businesses as I want because I have the capabilities to do so, coz I do not misrepresent! I am transparent in business, and I practice good ethics!
You in NuSkin? Good ethics? BULLSHIT! You use deceit in order to recruit! You misrepresent in order to recruit! You lie in order to recruit! You guys fuckin duped my friend who flew all the way to Davao just to learn you were NuSkin, an MLM or networking company, wherein she even asked over the phone if you were MLM and you guys said NO!
Assholes! Liars! Thats what you all are! And do not bullshit the members here to join your NuSkinism cult! We do not want tobe like you and your members! We do not wanna bullshit! We want proper business practices!
Do not bullshit also us by saying Robert Kiyosaki, Donald Trump and Harv Eker’s names! They all said one thing, choose the network marketing company that gives you THE BEST TRAINING!
Misleading is best training? BULLSHIT!
Misrepresent is best training? BULLSHIT!
Not answering questions directly is best training? BULLSHIT!
Do not fuckin dupe the people here with your fuckin words of wisdom, coz it wont work anymore! And do not fuckin bullshit me that you all are rich in that company! I proved its all bullshit!
This guy of NuSkin who claims to be making US$50,000 per month flagging down a jeepney? BULLSHIT!
