MLM Scam Alert on Data Network Affiliates aka DNA makes Narc That Car look like Saints

MLM scam alert on Data Network Affiliates aka DNA makes Narc That Car look like saints.

I remember back in the 80s when out of the blue more straightout scams and pyramid schemes started rocking. As soon as one would launch then another would launch. For a while it was hard tell the legitimate companies from those who were just out of complaint because they didn’t listen or couldn’t afford MLM counsel.

OK, let’s take a look at a couple of items for clarification What is an MLM Scam and What is legit.

Here is one of the best documents on the subject by MLM Attorney Kevin Thompson – “Saving the Network Marketing Industry by Defining the Gray. Read it Here

Folks, you need to understand on very important issue. My personal goal at MLM Help Desk is not to JUST call out a company for kicks and giggle. It is to save good hearted, hard working, financial struggling home based business entrepreneurs who, because of their financial situation may not stop longer enough to research and do the due diligence before jumping.

Now, let’s take a look at Data Network Affiliates aka DNA.

First red flag with DNA is the fact their website registry is hidden.

Registrant:
Direct Privacy ID FAADA
PO Box 12068
George Town, Grand Cayman KY1-1010
1-345-745-6022

Domain Name: DATANETWORKAFFILIATES.COM

Record last updated 02-02-2010 09:20:16 PM
Record expires on 01-21-2011
Record created on 01-21-2010

Now let’s take a look at Dean Blechman As Its Chief Executive Officer, Chairman Of The Board & Founder:

There is no doubt he has an impressive background. However, there are a few things which are questionable.

Before Twin Lab was bought by Tony Robbin’s company, ISI Brands, a class action lawsuit. Now overall this isn’t a huge deal, except it shows a track record. Review Here

Then there is the issue of Mr. Blechman’s claim of “being an owner of Ideal Health aka The Trump Network. Well, Ideal Health terminated Mr. Blechman for running the company into the ground, then filed a civil lawsuit against him (Ideal Health .vs Blechman)

Then Mr. Blechman counter filed trying to move the case to fit his needs Blechman .vs Ideal Health

However, the Court did not see it his way and allowed it to be transferred to Massachusetts. (Review Here)

Now let’s take a look at Anthony Sasso As Chief Data Consultant to the Board. Now I want everyone to realize that nowhere does it state Mr. Sasso is an owner of Data Network Affiliates aka DNA or that he is an officer of the company. This in and of itself raises some new question.

What private agreements are in place for Mr. Sasso to use all the new distributor data for his others business, and/or sell it to other scammers, spammers, or use it himself? This concern was first raised by an article we found outside of the MLM niche, raising their own red flags as to the purpose of Sasso’s ultimate use of the data he collects. (Review Here)

Now, here is another concern we found. Mr Sasso is also the ceo of Text2WinLotto.com this raises two questions…

1. Will he use the data he is gathering from distributors and spam them for this new opportunity?
2. Is this his next deal when Data Network Affiliates goes south?

These questions are way to important to go unasked. If a perosn is giving up their personal info to someone who is seen not just as the data base king, but also the top sms spammer, then we have huge issues.

Ok, now let’s look at what DNA calls the “product”…Well there isn’t one. Her eis the exact phrase from the Data Network Affiliate website “As an independent affiliate with D.N.A. you are helping to build databases. With most Network Marketing Companies, reps are selling a product for the company, with D.N.A., we are Building the Product for the company and ourselves.”

This goes 100% against the rules of law already put into place. If there is no product or service being marketed by distributors to an end user (as in phase one) then DNA falls into the legal definition of MLM Pyramid Scheme. (Read Kevin Thompson’s book above)

Ok, the compensation plan. For some reason DNA feels they are protected because they are not charging a mandatory fee to join. However, just like Narc That Car, they are not providing the distributors a product to the end user to sell. Which means the only thing the distributors are selling is the opportunity.

Which means, even though they claim…

Fact: all income generated is from the collection of Data Collected.
Fact: there is not one dime paid for the act of sponsoring.
Fact: even the D.N.A. Business Package with Data Entry Software is 100% non-commission-able

This does not change the FACT that the only money distributor’s are personally generating to place into the compensation plan comes from recruiting others into the compensation structure.

Here’s an additional item of record from a friend of mine Patrick Pretty for all to tink about…

http://patrickpretty.com/2010/02/11/data-network-affiliates-pitchman-for-license-plate-database-cites-amber-alert-walmart-church-company-website-suggests-amber-alert-falling-short-on-child-recovery-mission/

Since we live in America the choice is yours to make. And since DNA loves to you use songs in their marketing here is one to think about… “Do I stay or Do I Go Now!!!!

Living AN Epic Adventure,

    Troy, my job is with one of the largest data companies in the world. I really do not see the value in the data they are putting together. If it is just license plates, the DMV has this and all government enforcement agencies have access to this.

    The only real application of this would be modeling behavior patterns, but I doubt there will be enough collections of one license plate to be able to have an accurate model.

      Brent,

      First let me say thank you for taking time to comment. From what I have been able to gather, it is not so much the data in and of itself. It is the fact that each time the license number is placed into the database it shows a new location. Now the client of the company can review the movement of the license number in question.

    Hi everyone. I joined to see what was in the back office. At the bottom, it says ©1999-2010 DataNetworkAffiliates.com ~ All Rights Reserved. 1999? Wondering how that is possible, or did they just pick a random year? I too looked in the 'who is' with the same results. It will be interesting to see what happens here.

      @dorothy willey – I just noticed that same thing (1999-2010) I'm trying to figure out what info they are "really" specializing in gathering. It may be ours? the ones that "signup" … however I could see how the license plate info could deem useful, nevertheless I'm definitely going to do some more research on this before I get further involved.
      @Troy – I'll be sending you a message via your contact page so we can personally network.
      That "1999" this is rather fishy. I'm gonna scrape up my old tools and put them to work! :-)
      God Bless Everybody and …
      @Tony – Thanks for providing me with this enlightenment. It was total oversight on my part when I signed up.

    What a bunch of losers so shallow they think anything they do NOT understand is a scam. It just makes the author of this site the scammer more than companies he bashes with his shallow mind. I think Troy will soon be dealing with DNA attorneys and he deservers it for being so shallow in what he calls research.

    Take a lesson from Rod Cook and do REAL research and stop being the jerk you are. And just because you are a jerk does not mean you have to actually act the part.

    When in coming days and weeks DNA pushes out more info on the type of cloud data technology DNA is about you will realize this is a very advanced cutting edge model and not only tag data but many other forms of data will be collected and companies are lined up ready to purchase that data. Cloud data technology is the future of data and DNA is the leaders in the industry.

    Will DMV pinpoint where stolen cars are? Will DMV indicate where overdue lease cares are? Will DMV indicate where someone is who kidnapped a kid? Will DMV data indicate where stolen cars are? DNA cloud technology will because we take vehicle data and the location. That kind of data is in demand!

      Jay,

      First let me say thank you for stopping by to vent and share your feelings about me and others. I am not sure if we have met, but based on you calling me and others losers, I must assume I have personally hurt you or one of your family members somewhere along the way. Seriously, had I know I would have ask for forgiveness.

      But, a man of your emotional frustration deserve to be answered. So let me see if I can give some answers and ask some questions.

      1. Your first statement is confusing. But I for one do understand scams, having a personal history with some very successful scammers during the late 80s and early 90s. And I can assure you DNA are not scammers… Scammers would not be drawing this much attention so fast, and real pros would never hide the ownership of the site, especially offshore. These guys just do not understand the basic laws governing Direct Sales, MLM and Network Marketing.

      Exactly how much of a background check did you personally do before you joined DNA?

      2. I do not deal with attorneys, however my attorney will gladly talk to anyone on my behalf. Can you tell the folks exactly what I might have said that is not already public record and is available for all who wish to look for it? Exactly what have I said that you feel would bring DNA attorneys knocking on my door?

      3. As for Rod who is a close friend and my personal mentor has this to say on this very subject… Reply

    How shallow are you? The sale is to those who purchase the data. Look at DNA as MLM in reverse. We provide the company the product which in turn they sell and when they sell we earn part of the sale. How the hell is that illegal?

    When it comes litigation this is America and anyone can sue anyone for any reason. And in the filing of a law suit anything can and is said to bolster the case. But is that proof? You seen to be the court judge and jury and yet you are involved in MLM companies so your bias to start with. How pathetic.

      Jay, Jay, Jay…

      1. the sale is not made by a distributor. The distributors work directly for the company providing them data to sell to DNA clients. Direct Sales laws specifically MLM and network marketing is very clear. All 50 states and the SEC and FTC have clearly defined the rules. Distributors must sell to an end user a product or service to get paid. It any money is paid through an MLM or Network Marketing structure (3 levels or deeper) and a product or service is not provided to the end user, then it is seen as a pyramid scheme. When you do the math at DNA you quickly see the bonuses are coming from the upsale of the software to distributors. In this case if you want to look at that as a sale, then once again it does not work. That is seen as 100% internal consumption.

      2. In the company is paying you to provide them a product, then you can't be paid under an MLM compensation plan. You might get away with a two level affiliate program. But at the very least, the IRS may very well see this as a statutory employee situation.

      3. Jay, there is no such thing as a Reverse MLM, for two reasons. First because the website is clear DNA uses a uni-level compensation plan, and two there is no such thing. Now I know you think I am shallow, but seriously, you really should study Aristotle's "First Principles of Logic." But be warned you may become as shallow as I am.

      4. Jay, I am neither the judge or jury. However, I am the voice of reason, and give a different view than that of the propaganda provided by the company and the distributors who are promoting the opportunity. If DNA is legit, what are you so worked up over, and why worry what one guy named Troy Dooly has to say? Especially if you think I am so shallow?

      Your words and actions are not matching up.

      By the way… I am not active in ANY MLM Company. Again, you have not done your homework. The ONLY company I was building in, left MLM in 2009, and I retired from building ANY company.

      Now all I do is consult with CEOs and founders, review all types of companies and freely provide opinions to distributors, and mentor a handful of personal clients.

      So, please tell the world what companies I am someway affiliated with?

    As you know I was in GV but got out in Sept. In the last 6 weeks I have had over a dozen Globalverge people hit me up for these new plate companies. This is another way to see the real type of people keeping the Scams going. Thanks to Troy for having the leadership to shine the light on these people.

      If you are interested in telecom and was a rep for GV, You may want to look at Lightyear, a 16 yr old full service telecom company that just acquired the first and only wholesale agreements ever in the 20 yr history of the wireless industry with both Verizon and Sprint, and more coming. This allows reps to get paid "true residual income".Very lucrative comp plan. http://www.trylightyear.com is a video on the company and comp plan.

      MY POINT? Did you bother reading or listening to the video? The details about how to collect plate numbers and how much you get for each doesn't change the fact that this is a ponzi run by serial scammers.

    So you quit building MLM in 2009 which technically was 2 months ago. Up until that point how could you give opinions on other MLM companies with a straight face? Seems it would be pretty easy to pick winners and losers that would ultimately benefit your pocketbook. And aren't you still a distributor or share holder for some other companies that you have reviewed on your site? Don't get all huffy, just looking for answers.

      Millionairein5years,

      I had to smile when I read your comment. I can tell you have not done your homework on me personally, or these questions would not even be coming up.

      1. Sure I can and did with a straight face give my opinions on good and bad companies. There is not one single instance where I have ever used my position to recruit anyone into my organization during those years. And in two situations at least where I gave negative opinions on Ad Surf Daily and Global Verge, either the owners and/or top field leaders were in my INVISUS organization and if they had desired they could have taken their organizations and left. But since they had joined for the service and not the income opportunity, they stayed.

      2. Over the last ten years having run the world's largest support, training and lead generation company serving MLM, along with being a founding member and former board member of the Distributors Rights Association has also helped. People know I never put my personal gain above the financial well being of other people. and if you have taken the time to check, you will see I have reviewed more good companies, than we have issued Scam Alerts.

      3. No, I am not a distributors in any MLM company. And yes we do own stock in several MLM companies. However, in reviewing the companies we have reviewed, we have never reviewed ANY company we hold stock in. I did do a review a while back on Ceres Living, and we bought stock in their strategic NeoStem, which we disclosed when we shot the video.

      Had you taken time to review the site, read my bio your questions would have been answered. As a matter of fact here are a couple of post to review on this very subject…

    Troy,

    I have first hand knowledge that Phil Piccolo is involved in DNA. This is nothing but a scam to collect a huge database of peoples down lines. I can not believe how many people out there are foolish enough to get involved with this scam. If they want to see who Phil is go to http://worldwidescam.com and check him out.

    So many people are starting this year out the same way the went through the entire year of 2009. Going from one scam to another. People get you heads out of your #@$ and listen to what Troy has to say. He is right on the money here. Jay stop hyping this scam you freaking loser.

    I would like to hear your opinon on a home based business model I an building for reducing or eliminating colections at businesses like doctors offices. I feel it will be a great opportunity for people in this economy and with more and more people not paying their doctor bills there is a large base to build their business on.

    All of you are dead wrong about DNA as you will soon find and put up your retraction. When you get the real facts as to the supposed allies of Piccolo and the real facts about the Andrews Ave address, which is less than ten miles from me, you will understand you jumped the gun on this one. Most of what you do is good reviews but this time you and Rod got it all wrong. Phil the Pic man (pick pocket) has nothing to do with DNA in any way at any time.

    I was the first to blow the whistle to masses of people I know who got into verge two month before it was the hot deal it became. All long I told all those who called me to pull me in they were wasting their time. Petchell is a well known scammer for many years and anything he is involved in is a scam. Most telco MLMs are scams and if not they are dead ends in almost all cases that choose the MLM form is distribution.

    I had nothing to do with the mess for those who posted your miss information. My partner is an attorney and we do our REAL research before we get involved in anything unlike most who just love to promote negatives with no knowledge if the facts are correct. On DNA you all so wrong and will soon know that you’re wrong.

    And yes to the above post. You can earn a lot more on a tag than what is current published on the site. When everyone sees the total business model you will see it is brilliant. And trust me, totally legal with top MLM Attorneys working with the company.

    Troy, just wanted to say i respect your professional opinion very much and always consider your position, however i think you came out of the gate much to soon on this one. The company is still in Pre-launch and unlike many scams they have not attempted to collect a dime from anyone.

    Looking at the top two leaders in the company who appear to be the decision makers, they are much stronger than many others have been prior to Pre-launch. Your reasoning on product also doesn't seem to hold up when you consider companies like FDI whom you seem to adore. They grew from credit repair that was inseparable from their autoship of $39-$129 per month these are the kind of companies we need protection from and who really hurt thousands of Reps and surprisingly you will not go after them.

    Giconnect and FDI made the biggest mess of MLM in some time costing thousands of reps everything and yet you go after a free program in Pre-launch. The FDI debacle you called a cultural difference with Giconnect , you continue to Promote both companies and yet thousands were hurt badly from a bunch of unscrupulous people who had no concern for their reps, why did you brush off that big mess as if they just had a bad hair day or something?
    Please be consistent, Tackle those like Global Verge who are obvious thieves. Even GV was allowed to get through Pre-launch.

    Give the Company a chance to prove their worth or worthlessness. By April 1st you should know the real deal. I am one of the idiots who jumped in, but sometimes the best way to see an opportunity is from the inside out.You may be unnecessarily destroying the dreams of 35,000 reps before they are in any real danger. Why risk hurting the reputations of at least two good men prematurely.
    I think after 30 years in a successful business Mr. Bleckman and Arthur Kurick deserves at least to get through Pre-launch.
    Overall though you do a great job in my opinion. Keep looking after us please.

    Interesting,____I always enjoy your take on different programs, but having listened to your view above, and like thousands who research them all, I didn't see value of data with Narc, nor do I see any value in same license plate data collection with DNA, although they claim more is involved, but being new, time will tell. Since everyone has been bombarded with both, and Narc is dropping off the dramatically as DNA is now swamping our emails, me too deals are the heartbeat of MLM. LOL____We see this in the wireless wars, juice wars, weightloss wars, and on and on it goes in MLMland. I see it no different here, first Narc, now DNA, both questionable as to the value of collecting this data, and having been in the lease and finance business, and having to repo many vehicles and equipment over the years, I would just call my repo company and be done with it, so I asked them about the value of this random data and they laughed as I did when I first checked into Narc, and now DNA.____

    Bottom line, when I financed a customer I would get their address, obviously, their work, nearest living relative name and address, parents usually, sister, etc., and with this data, my repo company was able to track down vehicles 99% of the time. The only time it was not easy is if a person flees to another state, then they would do a DMV search then call relatives and work to get leads. This is how the repo industry works, not collecting useless license plates in random parking lots.____

    While you seem to think Narc is OK, but not DNA, you forgot to mention Narc charges money up front to get started, DNA does not, and as you stated you are giving your information up to DNA without really knowing who they are, sorry, but I don't know how much research you did, but when I researched DNA, there was no personal information required other than the usual name, company and email address, so given it is free, and no personal information was required, I find your overview a bit misleading.____

    I don't know about you, but paying a over a hundred dollars to earn commissions is a far cry from free to earn much higher commissions. When comparing, and I am not saying either one is legitimate or not, I am just speaking on the issues you brought up of value of service, legitimate use of data, and then comparing the two based on cost, compensation and most importantly risk. I see zero risk with DNA, while you seem to think Narc is legitimate when they are clearly a recruitment scheme, no product, and you have to pay to play? I have to question your review based on what I know about both, and paying to play, and being paid to recruit others to play is a ponzi for no products or services are being sold to anyone, only commissions being paid are if you recruit another recruiter as I see it.____

    Success to all,

    Hi Troy,

    No, I did not indicate you endorse either one, as I don't, but I did say, "While you seem to think Narc is OK, but not DNA", so to me this is not saying you endorse Narc, just that you seemed to indicate it was OK as you spoke to some respected professionals who were involved, am I not correct, or maybe I should listen again. The points of having a history, being transparent, etc. seemed to align with my understanding that it was OK, perhaps I missed something?

    Thanks,

    Here is my concern:

    This seems like another scam. But what bothers me even more is the fact that:

    1) Your personal info is out there now. Everything
    2) They are selling this product as a way to help law enforcement. Where is the proof of that?
    This could create a volatile and dangerous situation if all these time of people’s care are reported to the people and fall into the wrong hands. Oh! I dont know like rapists, child molesters, and common burglars and theives. If your car in spotted in another country the theives know they have at least two hours to go to your home and clean it out,or better yet, harm your children or elderly parents. This is causing fear and we have enough of that with terrorists.
    3) Are we legally training people to become private investigators. Dont they need a license for this?
    4) What about your rights as a citizen to lead a private life?This is a clear infringement on my rights as an American citizen to shop and travel where I want without feeling that if my car is not parked close to my home that I should have to explain myself to the authoritiess or not shop, or go to a hospital or attorney or visit relatives outside of my normal radius without fear that my name will show up on some public website for all to see.
    5) Can they prove which organizations are “buying” this information. Clearly when they use words like “this information can be used’ that does not mean “it will be used” or even “it has been used” THIS IS A SCARY CONCEPT.When are we going to grow up as a country and understand that there are alot of BAD things out there. Truly innocense if the tool of the scammer.

    Does anyone else have these concerns????

    I just went to a presentation a few days ago about the company. I was impressed enough to upgrade from the free version. There are products coming very quickly. I personally believe this is a great opportunity. I believe your information is not current and you have misjudged this business.

    I guess this really comes down to is there a market for licence plate numbers and addresses.

    If there is a robust market for licence plate numbers and addresses then this could be a robust market.

    Can any one find out if there is a good market for such information?

    Thanks Troy. So I will go from here, and do more research on crowd sourcing. We are heading into the age of GPS encoded CCD. Sad to see public recording the public for corporate or government use.
    Private investigators will be obsolete, as nothing will be private any more. You go to the store, and someone will video you entering, the credit card will record your total, and the store will record every item you purchased. Data mining at its best. How far out will the RFID embed be?
    Government is already recording this post, all of my internet searches, phone calls, using data mining.
    So much for privacy, guess profit is more important.

    I am only a mother of three who needs money. I was invited to join this data collection job. Now… my question is… why only 20 plates? why not more and get paid more? I am willing to get 10000 every month. It Seems like what they want is enrolle more and more people to do this and get "THEIR" contact info instead. What do you think? Why only 20 plates???????? why they are more interested in you bringing more people instead of you getting more plates numbers???????

    Hi Troy

    Very nice to stumble across your site. Nice to see there are others out there who know what they are talking about.

    I too haven't labeled DNA as a scam but merely as a waste of time. However I too have people angry at me for calling it a scam when I didn't do anything of the sort as you can see here :

    http://bestworkingfromhomejobs.com/is-data-networ…

    Is it just us or do the DNA people have trouble with the English language ? Why do they take our reviews so personally and why can't they read them properly before making unfounded accusations about us ?

    Keep up the work of educating the public with truth and realism.

    Remember the saying
    " When anything seems to be to good to be true – than it is" to good to be true.
    I did register – but continually wrote and asked questions, much like you asked – never with replies.
    O to run a company and I know success is build on a foundation and most times some kind of customer, respect, support,.
    None here – DNA
    I did sign up and gave my information – I want to make money be rich just like everyone else – but I try to keep my eyes open, Want to be able to count the dollars and this just me wonder

    Thanks for your web site – you did give me confirmation about my fears.
    But now I am terrified because I gave them my information. Like everyone else I wasn't thinking, just reacting. even though I would part with the $29.95 – it was easy to answer their questions – I am doomed :(

    How can this be a scam when you don't have to pay a dime to join. To my understanding i thought the definition of a scam is when you pay money for a service and don't recieve it. One thing i know people are scared of change. I been in mlm since i was 15 and I love the idea that some could join free and not depend on selling products but to collect data to make an income. All the old school mlm out there and nay sayers and other individuals who lack vision need to check yourself. I find looking for tags that could help us find missing childern vaulable period. Where is your heart you should want this to work but some people are in it only for the money any way and if make negative comments can destroy a company that will put more money in your pocket it seems what this is all really about

    I've been doing Narc with the website I've subscribe to for several weeks, and have made several hundred dollars with the simple system. Since receiving my first few checks, the business is growing with the simplest way to earn monthly residuals working 10-15 minutes a month. If there is a better way to EARN income I'd like to see it. While the skeptics argue the validity of these companies. I continue to tell people plates4money to earn, which isn't a bad thing. Oh, and 100% of everyone that is in my downline got paid! That can't be said for other MLM companies! If anyone wants to contact me feel free to visit me at Plates4Money. Nothing in life is guaranteed, but what you do sustain yours is in your hands. Thanks

    Hi Troy. I want to thank you for your website, information and time for doing this. I am new to internet marketing and have my own website where I advocate for people in certain circumstances. So, to grow my business, I have joined facebook and swom, which is similar to facebook, but it is for internet marketers. As a result, I got an email from DNA. Of course, I jumped right in and then googled it, which is where I came across your site. I’ve read some of what you have to say and you do bring up some important key issues which have made me decide to cancel my membership. Plus, there is the comment above that states why does DNA only limit you to 20 plates? A site that has something to hide is not for me. Thank you & take care.

    I joined for free just to see if they would pay what they said. I put in over 150 tags and got $2.00. My husband paid about $150.00 to go pro. He put in over 500 tags and got $2.00. That is not paying $2.00 for every 20 tags. Needless to say I sent them a nice little e-mail. I told them to never send me any more e-mails. I think the only ones making any money is DNA.

    I got royally screwed joining dna. I was not paid, and it will take the average person 12 months, because you only get 2.00 no matter how many tags you put in. But the threshold for payment is
    25.00 and then they will charge you a 5.00 to withdraw. I had a sizeable downline so I was supposed to make commission weekly. I never got paid.

    So getting Screwed over, I decided to screw them back. I had all my downline put in fake information. That’s right fraudulent license plate numbers. I had over 400 people who joined dna contact me because of the scam. And they all are putting in fake information too. Most of my downline left DNA but not before screwing them the way they felt screwed. I had two people who were trying to put in over a thousand tags and they were really pissed off so they faked information , they were the first to do it, so I took up the
    cause. Data network affiliates will find they won’t be able to sell the information as most of the tags are fake like they are. read my blog http://bloginthefogforgreen.blogspot.com/ If you are a member of DNA don’t get mad, get even….

    Troy,

    I’m looking for the address to submit my withdrawal from dna. They say they are in Florida (corp office). I need snail mail addy to write them per their requirement to resign. Also my bank will try to get my money back inside of 90 days. I think they call it a charge back. Maybe email will work even though they never answer. All I get is the autoresponder trash. I should have picked up on their sorry apprach and attiude toward me when I asked them uncomfortable questions about their processes.

    This dna opportunity is junk for sure. They won’t answer my emails. They keep dropping or reducing items that they offer. They have been pushing this binary roll up out for a long time. I don’t know if it ever happened or not. Way to much to do to get $2 a month for twenty tags. They don’t pay on the ones you get to get tags. It’s bogus. Wish I’d listened to you. Just think if they clip a couple of hundred thousand people for $127.00 and $28.00 a month for just 6 months. They will walk away with a lot of stolen cash.

    Disgusted,

    Lee Dillon

    It is amazing to me how easily led some people are!

    Think for yourself… People!

    The view of any business is always going to be different from the outside as opposed to the view from the

    inside.

    I started my DNA Business 2 months ago and have made over $200 so far. I withdrew $159 from my Virtual DNA

    Account and paid for Groceries and Bills with it.

    How can something be a scam if it’s free to join???

    The option to upgrade is just that… AN OPTION! Nobody is forcing anyone to become a PRO Member.

    Futhermore, when you upgrade you are actually purchasing a product and getting value for your money.

    If you choose not to enjoy the benefits of the Package you purchased when you upgraded that’s up to you

    but you can’t cry foul afterward.

    The people who submitted more than 20 Tags and were disappointed when they were only credited with

    $2.00 simply can’t read or did not take the time to read the very clear instructions.

    DNA clearly says they will pay up to $2.00 for 20 tags… Nothing more!

    You DO NOT earn more money for submitting more than 20 Tags EXCEPT for the monthly competition where the

    company pays $1,000 to each of the top 3 Affiliates who submitted the most Tags each month!

    The issues of the company’s physical address and the website URL being registered out of the USA are both

    addressed by the company through their regular emails to all Affiliates and through the nightly Conference

    Calls.

    I have attended the Conference Calls where every member of the Executive Management Team has spoken and

    confirmed their ongoing commitment to the success of this company!

    Based on my 16 years in the Home Business Industry and my 20 years of being a Minister I believe these are

    men of integrity.

    Yes, they made some mistakes in the past which they readily admitted and corrected!

    From all that I’ve seen and experienced so far, the greatest danger to DNA is sites like this one and

    people like Troy Dooley who spread and encourage baseless negativity and play upon the groundless fears of

    the ignorant and the insecure.

    Practice thinking for yourselves people!
