    im a member of 1st quadrant. yep. i invested 8880 and im not getting anything in return.. maybe coz i dont recruit downlines.. actually kahiyaan lang kc kaya ako pumayag.. so i gave the money and that's it! some people i know even get 50K checks a week but they really push their pyramid. so if you think you can recruit people, then go!

    since i cant get my money back.. and i dont wana recruit... i use the discount card na lang whenever i can... hehe... :D

    1st quadrant is not an investment company but rather a multi-level marketing scheme. Before you go into a multi-level marketing just like FLP, ensure that the product that they are selling are accepted for public consumption. In short, madaling ibenta dahil mura(vs market), maganda ang quality at kapakipakinabang.

    Getting back your investment by recruiting is not a good idea since you need to fool your friends to pay 8K, for distribution to the uplines. But if their product is good and affordable, by just using or selling their products, you can recover your investment without fooling anybody. 8)

    mukha naman atang maganda ang mga product... this is the major factor to join a multi-level marketing scheme... maraming nagaalok sa akin pero hindi ko pa pinagbibiyan dahil gusto ko munang makita ang mga product.... beside less than P500 ang sapatos kong suot :roll:

    a pyramid scheme is not really a good business because somebody else will have to take the bag in the end, kawawa ang mga nasa ibaba

    this is a method a manufacturer uses if their product can not be marketed in the public... they can not offer their product since its not competitive to other brands/models... IMO lang po... :wink:

    Hindi pa ba kayo natuto sa mga pobreng napaso sa Multitel,
    Glasgow, etc.
    All of those are just damn rackets hatched up by con men
    ang patronized by greedy individuals who still think that there
    is still such a thing as a free lunch and that money can be
    obtained without sweat.
    Hey, wake-up guys...

    Sad to say I am one of the many downlines in First Quadrant. Inalok kasi ako nung crush ko kaya hindi ako nakatanggi. Ang cute kasi ng excitement nya about the whole thing. All I got from my 8K investment is a pair of moccassins na ginagawa ko na lang tsinelas. But I use the discount card for my maid (not THAT discount card!). I let her use the discount card so she can sell stuff to her friends as a sideline.

    yeah..
    it comes with that countdown discount card that u can use when shopping...
    valid din with some resto's.. check out the booklet for the listings where it's accredited...

    aside from the 50% discount card on the products (shoes & bags..)

    but i still wish i could get na lang my money back.. hehehe :mrgreen:

    kme naman we use the discount thing lang sa mom ko. kze she loves shoes and sandals kze so since mas makakamura kme sa quadrant, ok lng sa amin... what we did para ndi naman magastos sa amin, we told her to sell shoes sa friends nya para ung kikitain nya dun, un na lang pambili ng shoes nya, which is ok naman sa kanya...

    guys and gals there's a big difference with multi level marketing and pyramid scheme.
    The former is legal while the latter is not. How to tell? there are a lot of sites, go to http://www.sec.gov.ph. the short story of it is that a pyramid does not have any tangible products, an MLM on the other hand does.

    now on to MLM...
    three things you have to analyze b4 signing up.
    1. Product
    2. Pay Plan/System
    3. People/Company

    and its not a get rich quick deal, you have to work hard to earn the only difference is that you'll be earning proportionate to what your putting into the business.

    MLM is not for everyone, if you feel secure and comfortable with where you are now and dont want to exert the extra effort, you should stay where you are.

    nag downline ako because my friend invited me to do so, but this really socks!!!... sayang yung pera ko, i bought some items with the free but if you really compute it its not that worth it...i even went to greenhills to get the item and andaming tao daig pa ang divisoria,then i realize andaming taong nangangailangan ng pera to dwell into this pyramiding, if you market their products you might be able to have a good ROI howver i didnt do so coz i myself got really pissed off by the scheme.

    if you plan to market the products then it will be ok, however if you wont then forget it...
