Are Cash Gifting Programs legal?

The short answer is “NO”.

Cash gifting programs are illegal pyramid schemes.

I am limiting my discussion to the USA, however other countries have similar laws.

Enforcement activity can occur at the federal level through the FTC, SEC and U.S. Postal Service and at the state level.

Pyramids promise large profits based primarily on recruiting others and not on profits from retail sales. There are even tests to determine if the product being sold is being used to hide the pyramid scheme.

Many well known network marketing companies have run into trouble with these laws and had to restructure their compensation plans and rules.

In 1979 Amway was found not to be an illegal pyramid scheme by the FTC because their system was based on retail sales to consumers. However the FTC did order Amway to change some of its business practices such as retail price fixing and misrepresenting profit expectations.

Cash gifting programs do not even have a product.

Some argue that cash gifting is legal because of the tax code. They even quote the sections. Those sections are about how to, or not to, tax gifts. The code contemplates legitimate gifts between family members and friends, not an organized gifting program.

If you could rely on the tax code to give legitimacy to cash gifting programs then all pyramids would be legal.

In fact the tax code expects you to claim all of your income regardless if it is from a legal source or not. Just ask Al Capone.

So you cannot look to the tax code to determine if an income activity is legal or not.

Some cash gifting programs are religious based.

They prey on you by using religion. They may even contribute to worthwhile causes, however they are pyramid schemes and those at the top are earning all of the money.

I was just on such a site and I quote them:

“How would you like to receive $800, $2,000, $4,000, $8,000, $16,000, $32,000, and $48,000, or 83,200 Over and Over Again?”

They also state “The blessings flowing through this belief system cannot be measured”.

Systems such as these are preying on the generosity of good people like you.

You cannot make money unless you recruit others to join. It is a numbers game that explodes exponentially until it implodes and everyone loses their money.

Cash gifting programs are considered illegal pyramid schemes by federal and state law and it will be just a matter of time before your chosen program will be shut down and the bank accounts frozen.

Is that anyway for you to run a home business?

Travelencia : News Bulletin - Read This Report Before You Commit

Travelencia is Hot!

So you are thinking I should jump on this new MLM opportunity while it is in pre-launch. WRONG!

I agree, Travelencia appears on the surface to be a very strong opportunity.

Let’s review:

• Debt free company
• Travel Provider: Member of the Better Business Bureau
• Dream Vacation Financing up to $5,000
• Home Business in over 200 Countries Worldwide!
• Access to a Licensed Travel Consolidator
• Travel Provider: Member of CLIA - IATA - ASTA
• $10 Million Invested in Technology & Development
• Vacation Packages designed to Save Thousands!
• Access to 100,000 Condo Resorts Worldwide
• Personal travel assistance

So Peter, you seem like a reasonably smart guy, why are you telling me not to sign up?

The reason is simple.

I believe that you should pick your team first, not the opportunity. Remember, Travelencia is an opportunity that is based on network marketing.

Do you have a network?

And no, you cannot count your brother-in-law who spends his weekends in the basement doing whatever brother-in-laws do.

I am talking about a real network, a downline, your team that you work with on opportunities. If you do not and you have no idea on how to recruit a team then why waste your time and hard earned money on multi-level-marketing opportunities.

Ok, Peter, I might buy your argument, but what are you trying to sell me?

Absolutely nothing.

What I am going to suggest to you is to investigate and interview your sponsor first. Do not sign up under just anyone. The only time you have a choice is before you click the payment button. After that you are stuck with whatever dead beat sponsor you happened to cross paths with on your way to fame and fortune. You must have read the stories of the vanishing sponsor. The kind of sponsor who talks the big story, then takes your money and disappears. Their only interest is in the quick bonus money they make recruiting you. Their strategy is to build wide. My strategy is to build deep.

How do I build deep? With Infinite Potential.
