Friends United Network

When looking for an online business opportunity, Friends United Network (aka FUN) located in Venture, California would probably not be a business opportunity that's going to make you rich or take you from the bonds of poverty in any short period of time if ever! In fact, you might end up more broke and losing all the way around including your house and maybe even your car, if you use the Friends United Network programs.

The organization which claims to be a humanitarian organization who's sole purpose is to "manifest a better way by breaking the chains of poverty through interactive sharing. To assist individuals in their own peace and security, linked by synergy of mutual involvement." Nice words to suck people in wanting to "help thy neighbor!"

When looking at the website, you will find programs that most people in the bonds of poverty would be looking for. Ways to stop their foreclosures, getting rid of credit card debt, and making huge astronomical financial gains by investing with this humanitarian organization. It's amazing how many people still get taken by programs like these, but I suppose when your back is up against the wall and your looking for a way to become wealthy then you grab at anything that sounds logical. Well, at least that's the way they make it sound. But there are some very serious problems with many of the programs FUN has offered to its members.

Let's take the most recent first!

The latest problem the humanitarian organization has run into has been its inability to make the vehicle payments members purchased through a so called Buyers Club Auto Program. For the past eight, nine months members have gotten stuck making the payments on vehicles purchased through the program.

The program worked like this; you could go and get the vehicle of your dreams and pay Friends United Network 10% of the total cost of the vehicle. Friends United Network would make the payments on the vehicle and retain title to the vehicle for 36 months so that the vehicle could be used as collateral for other Friends United Network so called projects. Does any one see a problem with this?

First, Friends United Network never has to put up it's credit for the purchase of the vehicle. It's the person who is getting the vehicle who's at risk with their credit. As individuals and individuals who were led into believing in helping thy neighbor. As everyone involved in FUN's vehicle program has found out, they have either had to make the payments or end up with the Sheriff's Dept's at their doorstep with the repo man demanding vehicles to be returned. Some have arranged returns before reaching that point. Others have been threatened with theft and grand larceny. Those with excellent credit have now been destroyed.

What was the purpose of Friends United Network? That's right; "to manifest a better way by breaking the chains of poverty through interactive sharing. To assist individuals in their own peace and security, linked by synergy of mutual involvement." I wonder what those individuals with destroyed credit ratings are saying now?

Of course, Friends United Network has pulled the vehicle program for now until they can as they say, "get it set up correctly."

Although, there have many members who have been damaged by the humanitarian organization, Richard still gets on the weekly calls and tells everyone to get involved and that millions of people are excited about the launch of the new programs. If that's the case why then would Friends United Network only be working with a skeleton crew? If your going to launch new fabulous programs that's going to change the face of humanity and break the bonds of poverty would you have a skeleton crew? The one thing you are guaranteed to get with this business opportunity is a bunch of empty promises week after week, month after month, and year after year that funds will be released to take care of everyone. Needless to say, you don't have to be a rocket scientist to know that you will throw money away if you buy into the smooth talk sales pitch of making thousands of dollars weekly income by coming into the founders program which are discounted until the launch (get the scene of urgency? If you don't get in now your going to miss out and have to pay full price!) a strategy most marketers will use to get you to purchase. It's called the "Take Away". I better get in now before it is to late.

Just in case you're curious, the original founding members of Friends United Network have never seen a single dime from their investment to launch Friends United Network. It has been four years and those poor folks get to listen to Richard telling them week after week that the money's coming in and that Jerry and Louis are just having problems getting the funds released.

You will have to decide on your own whether you are wealthy enough to just throw money out the window, because that's exactly what you will be doing getting involved with this humanitarian organization. You would probably make more by investing in a good mutual fund.
