Wow. Can't believe I created this account just to reply lol. Have you ever thought of searching in wikipedia for more info about MLM?

MLM is a business strategy. Some people gain from it, some lose. Bad thing is, it is not sustainable for a long period of time. Score A has the potential to go far because the market is always there : students. Unless, u're in Japan or S'pore where the birth rate is low. However, there will come a time when the ratio of uplines and students become so big that every Upline is fighting for every single student. I'd picture the situation like this : year 2000 - amount of student is 1000, amount of Upline is 1. Year 2020 - amount of student is 1000, amount of Upline is 10000. Get it? Eventually, there will not be enough 'food' for everyone. Not that the food become less, just that the ppl become more. I predict, this will die off quite fast because MLM adopts a multiplier concept BUT after a while, a new MLM product will appear again.

But have you ever thought of this : Why do you want to get rich fast? Honestly, I'd rather study my ass off and do the job that I like. I don't care whether I get rich or not. I just want to enjoy what I'm working for. I love programming stuffs and messing around with computers so I study Computer Science or Software Engineering degree. If I'm poor BUT happy when I die, I think my life is much more fulfilled or as meaningful as those who are rich AND happy because if you are rich, you will have problem securing and sustaining your money and having paranoia and if you are poor, you will have problem getting what you want but if you are happy, no matter rich or poor, you've just lived the GOOD life. If you just want to get rich, you had better re-evaluate your life. Go back to your religious roots or something and find the meaning of life.

FYI, pyramid schemes are banned in many developed countries BUT not M'sia and MLM IS a type of pyramid scheme except that it is known as pyramid selling. Searched up wikipedia on this. I'd rather categorise MLM as a flexible pyramid scheme in that its shape can also not be a pyramid but a rectangle, or a diamond when u can't find anymore downline, etc. However, the concept is still the same with pyramid scheme except that the difference is pyramid schemes don't offer products. Pyramid schemes are fraudulent because they concentrate on getting downline and impossible to sustain for long.

Sounds familiar? Of course it does. Most Score A ppl are just concentrating on downlines and building pyramids. (there was a user who posted whether the score A users here concentrated on downline or the selling of the product and until now, there have not been any straight forward response to that. Correct me if I'm wrong). Hence, score A product is just to hide the scheme. However, u can't categorise score A MLM as fraudulent because u can still sell their product if you can't find downline and it will look like just another fair business...but it'll be hard. Pyramid schemes are successful, no doubt. You just have to be a good salesmen and trainer.

I don't want to join because it is so expensive. Also, I think it is only for those who want to get rich fast. I'd rather take things slowly and enjoy this short life. Who knows, you might die tomorrow getting hit while trying desperately to sell Score A to speeding cars on the road and your dreams of getting rich are dashed. So much for creativity and daringness. Just joking about the selling products to speeding cars though. Just saying you'll do anything to get rich fast...even if it's illegal or very risky. Another reason is I'm not a salesperson and I hate being one. Fourth thing is, I don't want to be the cause for my downline not being able to find downlines due to shortage of 'food'. Then, he'll start blaming me for cheating him. Fifthly, I tend to think of it as another skim cepat kaya which the government are warning us against participating in such. Look at all the ads and presentations by users for this score A MLM. It's all about getting rich fast.

On the score A program, I think it is just plain unnecessary. Getting your kid to study on the computer is already bad since he will most likely use score A as a cover up for going on facebook or other stuffs. Also, we can easily get questions from lots of workbooks. Just RM50-or maybe EVEN LESS-worth of workbooks for each subject will be able to give u enough exercises you need to score A compared to RM396 for this online thing. Some just need to study textbooks and listen to teacher in class and they'll get it. For years, students have been achieving without score A. It's simple, no pain, no gain. Even if you got score A program, but if you have no effort, you can't gain anything. If you have effort and you study, with or without score A, you'll certainly get your A. That's why online studying is only common in unis and higher level studies coz adults are better at controlling and managing their time but not secondary or primary students.

To those who asked those who are against score A to keep quiet, you're just being another BN or communist. People have the right to express their opposition even if they are dumb or know barely nothing about it because how do they know that they know very little about score A? It's the very reason that they think they know so much about this that they voiced out. So, correct them if they are wrong in their opinions so that they can learn more but don't shut them up.

I will not encourage people to do MLM. Yes, it may be their choice but it is also my choice to see them do the right thing. The only reason is I care and I don't want people getting into something just because of the 'get rich fast' promise.

Yes, you're wrong. Organisation system looks like a pyramid but it is not a pyramid scheme. That's the difference. Bosses don't pull people in when they have enough workers. Pyramid schemes will try to grow bigger and bigger endlessly.

2nd. That's the problem. Your friend says that but MOST ppl use the get rich fast mentality to attract ppl. I once attended a preview of this score A thing in their office and the presenter highlighted the point that he's getting only RM5000 a month and his boss is getting RM5000 a week. Then he asks us if he wants us to earn like him. That's just one example, mind you, and you may not realise that you've been using the get rich fast mentality coz the most effective way to attract ppl is money and getting rich fast is a very useful term. Know urself, know d ppl u work with well, bla bla bla that's all required to do business and esp. marketing jobs like salesmen. You don't have to do mlm to learn these things. It's taught everywhere. In your school, your club projects, in your unis, how to get better GERKO marks, etc. Everywhere! MLM requires sign-up of ppl and what better way than saying that MLM is easy to do?

Yes, I may not get the job I like but I can be a lecturer for that subject. And who knows, I might be the next Zuckerberg? Or Steve Jobs? IT is growing fast in M'sia. If I score excellent CGPA in my course, I might be sent to overseas for further training where IT is a very big prospect. You can't post here if there's no IT. Look, if you like acting, don't care whether it's financially secure or not. If like that, then, who would do acting in M'sia? And acting is a very good prospect if you're really into it. If you're interested in something, go for it. For me, I've found my love - Software Engineering. And you've found yours - acting. Trust me. That's why America is what it is today. The people are very diversed. They love singing, they do it. They love dancing, they do it. They love making computers, they do it. They aren't scared to try. And I don't know y u say I didn't separate interest and money. Wasn't I the one who said that no matter what you do, as long as you like it, you shouldn't care about the money? Isn't that separating interest and money?

If you're very good at something, there's no reason why you should fail to make money. And, to be very good at it, you need to have the interest.

So, lady, or whatever you are, do what you like to do. You might be the next Karen Mok or Michelle Yeoh. Or, you might create a legacy of your own. Oh well, like I said, it's your choice if you wanna do score A but I don't recommend. Oh, and good luck in ur score A business. Seriously, good luck, mate.
