The Trump Network

"Buy 1 for yourself and get the chance to sell your friends and family 5 and get your downline started!" We examine the multi-level marketing industry, where only the people who come up with the ideas make any money, and everybody else is left unhappy, broke, and tired of reading scripts and selling overpriced vitamins and similarly worthless products. Includes Global Prosperity, Pinnacle Quest International, IRS Codebusters, Stratia, and other new Global Prosperity scams.

The Trump Network

Post by Arthur Rubin »

On one of the group job boards at LinkedIn, someone (I think he should remain anonymous unless someone not a member of the group can see the message) has been offering "invitations" to join "The Trump Network". Any specifics, here?

Is it an invitation to work at the corporation, or a thinly veiled attempt to lure someone into network marketing?

There's a link in this article to FitzPatrick's False Profits Blog which at this moment is loading very slowly, if at all. He has at least one article (I think two) on his web page about The Donald.
