The Prosperity Automated System (PAS) - "1-Up" Compensation Plan
Now, this works best with an example.... Lets say the first members, Simon and Lieven sign up Barbara. Barbara pays her $3,000 to Simon and Lieven and is then "qualified". Of course, Simon and Lieven are the first in the scheme so they pay nothing to anyone..... Barbara signs up Abraham and his money goes directly to Simon and Lieven.
Next, Barbara makes her second sale, Zach. Zach pays his $3,000 to Barbara.
Each and every time someone in Simon and Lieven's downline makes their first sale, Simon and Lieven get the money. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) about PAS come next. One that immediately draws attention is: "Q: Where are all the leads (prospects) generated from? A: They will be generated as a direct result of the online and offline marketing you undertake. Remember, all you ever need do is invite people (prospects) to your website. No more. No less. We'll show you how to do this quickly and effortless, via numerous tried tested & proven online and offline methods." So, on the first page it says "NO Prospecting, NO Advertising, NO Selling, NO Answering questions, NO Closing, NO Telephone calls, We do it all for you!" but here PAS is contradicting itself by saying that you have to do online and offline marketing. Is marketing different to advertising? Of course, you can buy "PAS Traffic Packs". For a mammoth $190 per month, PAS will advertise for you via the internet and publications such as USA Today and Entrepreneur magazine. This advertising is probably done via another URL (which I am not going to advertise here) that picks PAS members at random. There is a limit of 5 Traffic Packs per system and the FAQs state that "...if you wanted to purchase 10 Traffic Packs (for example), you would also need to purchase a further PAS position @ $3,895 (£2,240)". What the whole scheme boils down to is the promise of higher commissions the more you put in initially. There are three different levels, Business, Basic and Associate. Each has different compensation plans and fees. Business membership is $3,895 to join for 3 years. You will earn up to $3,000 in commission for every person you introduce after your first "qualification" sale. If you introduce a Basic member, you will get $1,100. Basic membership is $1,995 to join for one year. You will earn up to $1,100 per sale whether you introduce a Business or Basic membership. One thing is certain about PAS - no matter which level you join at, no matter how much you pay or who refers you - you must make at least 3 sales before you even make a profit. Everyone below must make at least 3 sales before they are in profit and so on. Now, the MegaWealth founders take $895 from each new member for "administrative fees". There are currently about 2,265 members so, even ignoring the commissions that the founders have collected by being at the top of the pyramid, they have made: 2265 x $895 = $2,027,175 in less than a year. Unfortunately, the nature of this type of scheme means that new "customers" must be found constantly so that existing customers can profit. A great many people are advertising this scheme by saying that you can make $3,000 a day by referring people. If this were true, the Prosperity Automated System would collapse in little less than a month when the total required members exceeds the population of the world! BizOppsUK.com cannot recommend this system. Update: Lieven Van Neste's recent email to MegaWealth members has reinforced the generally held opinion that the Prosperity Automated System is a huge gamble. Highlights of his email include: "I have personally devoted over 40 hours per month of dedicated unselfish effort..." - it can be argued that nothing Lieven has done with regards to PAS is "unselfish". Lieven's primary motivation is to sign-up people at great expense ($3,895) into a system where over 80% of people never make a penny and he makes $3,000 per sign-up. "Combining the fact that 85% of our prospects must still come to fruition, plus the fact that each new member does mean an infinity powerline of income, losing your prospects can easily mean millions of income" - 85% of prospects haven't made a bean and have most likely lost a great deal more that the $3,895 they paid to join. Lieven's quote of "infinity powerline", assuming he actually means infinite powerline is rubbish. There are only so many people in the world and even if PAS was a success, which it plainly isn't, it would run out of potential sign-ups as more layers are created. "why is there people who have purchased TrafficPacks all along, and even many who have purchased 5 TP per month for several months in a row, still not even Qualified? Where are the real, live and actual global stats on the TPs?" - PAS charges $190 per traffic pack per month. Some people order 5, meaning $950 a month in expenditure. All this expense and they still haven't made a single sale after paying $950 pm "for several months in a row"... "why have we seen a Waranty Policy deteriorate from an original Double-Your-Money-Back Guarantee to a diluted Just-Your-Money-Back+$500 Guarantee to more recently a seeming complete elimination of any Guarantee?" - There you have it, there is no guarantee. DO NOT BE FOOLED, THE GUARANTEE HAS GONE... "Out of the current 3,256 PAS MEMBERS, only 713 are qualified...Many of those, however, have NOT made a profit sale yet...That is over 2,500 members who need a Qualifying Sale and 2 profit Sales, just to get to a whee bit of profit...So, it is a very small group of people who are making the so much promised or published big money..." The quotes speak for themselves. Do you really think that joining either the Prosperity Automated System or the MegaWealth group would be a good idea?
