Based on what you say here, you could file suit against them (or at least threaten to do so) in small claims court or in regular court; filing in small claims court is easier and requires no attorney...you could try to collect all of the costs and damages that you suffered due to their behavior... You may also report them to your state attorney general's office.

I've actually found that yor.com is not a scam but a network marketing company...they actually give average people an opportunity to earn a hefty income through an investment but you have to work hard. I guess a lot of people don't understand investments and having your money work for you rather than working for money. I decided not to join because I'm starting my own record label.
I just think people didn't understand fully what they're about. You guys really shouldn't pass judgment so quickly because Karma is a crazy thing. |

There are many blogs and reports about this scam, but I'd like to give you my own insight so you can possibly get a better understanding of how it works.
I went to one of their crazy lock you in a room till you submit exciting new opportunity speeches because an old friend got fooled by it. It's just a classic pyramid scheme with many hidden expenses that they don't tell you about upfront. The all important gift or fake purchase is for free trials (mostly dialup, some voip) that they send you in an email and would total a value of $420 if they were real accounts, and there's a $30 discount of $390 for 1 spot so act fast! Each of your spots gets $60 per recruit which is $420 or 7 x $60, or the maximum number of spots you can purchase at $420 each. If you get 3 or 7 spots, you get more of the $420 from each recruit multiplied by 1, 3, or 7 depending on the number of spots they get, so you'd be a fool not to have all 7 spots of your own. Also the free trials expire after 6 months as if they lose value over time or some garbage, so you need to continually buy new sets. Plus you need to maintain 2 active service accounts at over $200/yr each in order to receive money from recruiting, and those are at full customer cost. You can't use the trials for this because they are of no value. You don't get any breaks for being a representative of the scam. And to top it all off, there's an annual fee of 2 x $60 per spot. There are many other expenses but I don't even want to get into it. They exploit gullible people more and for longer than most pyramid schemes do. Interestingly, "char soh bees" (420) is a common Indian phrase to describe a no-good character, and also section 420 of the Indian Penal Code relates to dishonesty, cheating, petty fraud etc. |

Okay lets educate a few of you. Yor.com is a Multi-level marketing company. Multi-level marketing (MLM) is a business model that combines direct marketing with franchising. Multi-level marketing businesses function by recruiting salespeople (also called Distributors, Independent Business Owners, IBOs, Franchise Owners, Sales Consultants, Beauty Consultants, Consultants, etc.) Continued
to sell a product and offer additional sales commissions based on the sales of people recruited into their downline, an organization of people that includes direct recruits, recruits' recruits, etc. This arrangement is similar to franchise arrangements where royalties are paid from the sales of individual franchise operations to the franchisor as well as to an area or region manager, but in some MLM programs, there can be seven or more levels of people receiving royalties from one person's sales. Hence, it is not a job. It does not require offices. The company has headquarters offices but it might not be in your state since they will place their headquarters offices in the state where they started. In the most legitimate MLM companies, commissions are earned only on sales of the company's products or services. No money may be earned from recruiting alone ("sign-up fees"), hence why you don't make money just by recruiting. You need to get customers to make money.
If you want a regular dead-end 9 to 5 job because you rather help your boss make money then do that but don't join any MLM company because you will actually need to do work and work the system set forth by the MLM company. The people that complain are the ones that belong in a job working for somebody else. That is okay, just remember you will never be able to make more money than your boss. If you are okay with that then keep your job. Also, If yor.com was a scam why do they tell you when and where they will be. Would they not just run away? Wouldn't there be cops arresting the yor.com memebers at the event?. hmm, your comments sound like nonsense to me! |

When checking with the DSA (www.dsa.org) I didn't see them listed as a member. All the MLMs from best to worst are members of the DSA which prides itself on integrity, so if they can't qualify there, then they are most likely illegitimate.
It's relatively easy to distinguish the scams from the real businesses by the tactics they use. Real MLMs focus entirely on product sales training, while the pyramid schemes/scams use very refined marketing tactics to sell you a "business opportunity." An example in point: http://www.youngentrepreneur.com/for...ad.php?t=16300 The representative is selling it as "A piece of $300 billion" in this instance, which is clearly fraudulent if I'm not mistaken. But the point is that this is the common theme where they are trained to avoid any important questions, represent it as some new get rich venture, and use irrelevant information to talk it up. Running around the city all day selling a spot in a pyramid is not a legitimate way to run a business by any stretch. |
