DCHL,
DHCL in Aus .. know as S &T ~ warning!
I recently got roped into a semina for DHCL know as S&T in Australia. They like amway and Un skin , they promise massive earnings by selling products imported from France.
My friend has been telling me how great the products where so I thought I'll have a listen to wat they got to say, and if it's legitimit.
Once I got to the so call office for a seminar I was totally shocked. I arrived at a small office space which was dark and really unappealing with the products on display on some shelf with a yellow/gold tacky fabric. Really impressed !! NOT.
The room was filled with Asians smiling and bring along their friends to join up to this so call quick scheme .
The meeting was delay and the first person to kick start the seminar was a 20 year old telling everyone how he became the top 1% of the distributor. Ok let's clarify distributors distribute good and what they are offering was far from that.
This little kid is trying to get the presentation going by yelling out "who want to get rich and make money" half the room starting yelling " yes" . Far out they all members I feel like I was in some scam and I was living in a set up play, where they are trying to convince me it's all real. Blah !! Brain washing had to effect, nil for the losers at S&T(DHCL)
His opening was crap and starting a presentation with photos of some guy who he said was his hero there and what to be just like him. I spent 15mins watching photos of some guy called John's life. This kid has issued if that's all his inspired to be .
The clips was of him and his girl friend on ski trips , travels over the Thai land and Paris . Ok who in Australia never been to mountains to ski?? Or brought a cheap ticket to thailand or somewhere overseas??
I think my friends and I put together have better trip photos then him, so why would he be someone I want to be ?? Dumb ass, wasted 15mins of my life.
John xx come on to start his section Of the presentation to explain about his experience and try to go through the products. His opening was bull shit, showing some tube clip he ripped off about how the demographics are gaining blah need to investe I more health products.
And the ass press the wrong button half way and we had to what that crap again from the start. If you sum at presentations go home!!! Worst presenter I've ever met.
His talking about himself and trying to make questions for the audience to answer and what do unknow ? All the members start yelling and clapping out answers.
I just walked into a nightmare!,, 3 hrs of this iam going to shoot someone, he wasn't even an eye candy to even let me give him any attention!,;( just cos u got a Gucci belt and u tell me u earn heaps of money to buy thing mean nothing when u are a presenter who can't present , it's like watching a broken record going and going in an attempt uto brainwash u by repeatition.
His explained about the French products that they sell which , mind you was not bad but they don't tell you the price to lure you in, but he did mention a few and said oh it's a bargain, yeah right everything is a bargain . >={ blah!
After about 1.5 hrs of listening of crap about the products and how it's awesome how this guy use it .. Ya tat ya tat ya tat ... With stupid useless informations.
Ie.
*We sell the best French wine from the region that's AOC accredited.
AOC is just the standard wine grading in France which means ... Nothing lol it's a min requirement for bottle wine and classification . Clap clap to DHCL for a bullish presentation.
2 hrs listening his is finally telling me what they do... What is get rich thing is..
The basic theory is a pyrimid scheme, but legalized type known as MLM, multi level marketing.
They bull crap u that you become a level one partner known as franchises , and u only pay 400 +80 per month membership .
Or to start earning more buy your way up to level 3
At a cheap price of clearing your savings of 12000 .. Do we see a problem here ??
Basically u don't get a percentage of the global profit unless u are level 4. so they try to rip u 12000 to encourage u to make it to level 4 faster.
you basically get you friends and family to join and then get a percent of The joining fee and purchase and u can earn a percent of fees from the people u make join the chain.
They repeat and reapet how u need to take the opportunity and how much u will earn. You serious ?? U don't really sell anything but ask the members to join to buy stuff and then get them to get more members to join so u can get a % of the sale. ReapertItIon to try tO brainwash u in joining. Glorified sale person is an over statement.
After I went to the show room I was mortified to find how much they are selling the good for.
350 for a oil diffuser and the oil is separate and that's just one item which it over priced.
I wasn't willing to join up and one of the head reps came over and kept telling me she use to be a financial controller and blah blah blah and how we here are all professional. The head sale rep tried her aggressive sale tactic to show she was doing well an telling me it's the time to start as the market is new. You kidding right ?? She been at it sucking pol in for 6 year !! Cos u rip off enough commission from new members.
I got so sick of them and finally told her to leave me alone and think about it. Listening to them on repeat mode was so annoying.
I went home and looked up all the brands and products and my god thr lame burge oil diffuser they charge 350aud but in France u can get it for 45 euro= 50 aud which is about 600% inflated price. Wtf!
Just because MLM are legal since 2005 where the high courts of Australia noted that due to the ACN not managing the system as it was knows as commission base section of the company and thus it's not a actual pyramid scheme doesn't mean you are not getting ripped off.
Watch out for the following :
*High pressure sale tactics
*Get rich fast promise
*Seminars where they don't give out informations about the price and the company structure
*They encourage u to trust your friends opinion. Common sense is needed trust is one ign but they asking u to invests and blind faith should not be part of it.
*encourage you to buy products to try which is very over priced. If its a good product why don't they just let you try before u buy?
* excessively over priced products
*pressure you to join right away and hand over your cash.
* showing you ppl there are all professionals. Comm'on u have a job and u are professional in your field already. That don't tell you about how smart they invest and who they are
Any fancy names and words to make you think it's great but when you strip away all that it's a basic MLM rip off.
Here's a warming from thr Australian gov scam website
http://www.scamwatch.gov.au/content/index.phtml/tag/PyramidSchemesIn a typical pyramid scheme, a member pays to join. The only way for the member to ever recover any money is to convince other people to join up and to part with their money as well.
In contrast, people in legitimate multi-level marketing earn money by selling genuine products to consumers, not from the recruiting process. Be aware though, some pyramid scheme promoters disguise their true purpose by introducing products that are overpriced, of poor quality, difficult to sell or of little value. Making money out of recruitment is still their main aim.
People often hear about pyramid schemes from friends, family or neighbours. Normally, pyramid schemes recruit members at seminars, home meetings, over the phone or even by mail. Now email, usually as spam, is increasingly used to recruit members as well.
For the scheme to work so that everyone can make a profit there would have to be an endless supply of new members. In reality, the number of people willing to join the scheme (and therefore, the amount of money coming into the scheme) dries up very quickly. When the pyramid collapses (and they all do) relationships, friendships and even marriages can be destroyed over money lost in the scam.
In Australia, it is against the law not only to promote a pyramid scheme, but even to participate in one.
Warning signs
- You are offered a chance to join a group, scheme, program or team where you need to recruit new members to make money.
- The scheme involves offers of goods or services of little or doubtful value that serve only to promote the scheme (such as information sheets).
- There is a big up-front cost to pay for large quantities of goods.
- There are no goods or services being offered for sale by the scheme.
- The promoter makes claims like ‘this is not a pyramid scheme’ or ‘this is totally legal’.
Protect yourself from pyramid schemes
- If it looks too good to be true—it probably is.
- Use your common sense: the offer may be a scam.
- Do not let anyone pressure you into making decisions about money or investments: always get independent financial advice.
- You can contact your local office of fair trading, ASIC or the ACCC for assistance.
- Beware of products or schemes that claim to guarantee income or winnings.
- Remember that family members and friends may try to involve you in a scam without realising that it is a scam: you should seek independent advice (from a lawyer or financial adviser)
