Embattled YTB International faces another legal challenge from a group of multi-state plaintiffs who filed a putative class action lawsuit against the company and its officers, charging the company is operating an illegal pyramid scheme.The plaintiffs, who are from Illinois, Missouri, Georgia and Utah, allege that Wood River, IL-based YTB International is a scam that offers no direct selling opportunity but instead is a never-ending recruitment scheme.

The complaint was filed June 10 in Madison County Illinois Circuit Court. The plaintiffs allege that the YTB program is based on selling cheap online travel agencies to recruits then encouraging them to recruit others while requiring certain levels of monthly services and, therefore, is a fraud.

In a nine-count complaint, the plaintiffs are seeking actual and punitive damages of more than $900,000, plus an order prohibiting the defendants from continuing in their conduct and other relief the court decides on.

YTB has faced legal challenges from the Attorneys General of California and Illinois as well as earlier class action lawsuits. YTB settled the California case while the action by the Illinois attorney general is pending. Other class actions filed against YTB by private plaintiffs were dismissed.

Do you know the ARPU in your company or downline?

What is ARPU?

ARPU stands for Average Revenue Per User / Distributor usually abbreviated to ARPU and is a measure used by networking companies. It is the total revenue per year divided by the number of distributors or users.

This provides TOP Earners a granular view at a per user basis and allows it to track revenue sources and growth. Around $1,000 is a Direct Selling standard. Below $1,000 you might have a problem.

If a Direct Selling companies disclose it's distributor numbers it might be inflated, therefore you better can take a close look to the ARPU.

Let's have a look to some Direct Selling Companies:

Distributor Numbers Per Company:

Forever Living Products claims to have 9,5 million distributors however if you look to the ARPU it is only $316 per user per year. Suppose you have a downline of 1,000 guys and girls your annual revenue over that group would be $316,000. On an average 5% payout you could qualify for, you will earn $15,800. Nice, but not very exiting…

So you better can look for a higher ARPU, if we sort the same figures on the highest ARPU, Amway is king with an ARPU of $2,800 per year. 1,000 distributors will bring you $140,000 commission… However, maybe it is easier to build up a Forever Living Products downline then an Amway downline, but that is an other discussion…..

Amway parent grows to $8.4 billion in 2009

Strategic innovation, consumer focus fuel growth despite slow global economy; Alticor marks sales increase for ninth time in 10 years

ADA, Mich., (MARCH 9, 2010) /PRNewswire/ — Amway’s parent company, Alticor Inc., announced record sales of more than US$8.4 billion for the year ended Dec. 31, 2009, which was a 2.3 percent increase over 2008. Sales were negatively impacted by foreign currency fluctuations, which in local currency grew 5.9 percent.

“Our focus on using innovation to transform the Amway business is showing results,” said chairman Steve Van Andel. “The global economy challenged every business in 2009. Our continuing investment in products, technology, and connecting with consumers helped us weather the storm.”

Said president Doug DeVos: “Our distributors around the world deserve a lot of credit for persistence in a difficult economic climate. We put a lot of effort into improving our product offerings and building consumer awareness; the distributors put in the work to drive sales to our customers.”

The company also made gains in another key measure. Said Van Andel: “In 2009, we increased our market share in the direct selling industry, and continued to drive improvements and adjustments to our business that will help us, and our distributors, succeed over the long term.”

Strong regional sales in China, India, Southeast Asia, and Korea continued in 2009, while the 2008 relaunch of the Latin American market yielded a second year of more than 50% percent increase in volume in the region. Visible work has been done to strengthen and reposition Amway in established markets such as Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa, making the region one to watch for 2010.

In the North America market, continued transformation was marked by investments in visibility, training and consumer access. In November, the company launched an ordering “app” for Apple® iPhone, product information and sales support via podcast, and training apps on iTunes®. North America is also the first to implement a new web commerce platform, which will begin a global rollout later in 2010.

“More than ever before, Amway is a truly global company,” DeVos said. “As markets outside the United States continue to develop, we are learning constantly how to better support consumers in many different cultures. Then we take the best lessons we learn in each market and figure out how to apply them around the world.”

Amway does not generally release individual market sales or disclose profitability.

Amway, a pioneer and leader of the direct selling industry, does business through its distributor network in more than 80 countries and territories. Amway’s flagship product brands include NUTRILITE™ nutrition and wellness products. Nutrilite is the leading global brand of nutritional supplements and is also the worldwide leader in children’s nutritional supplements. ARTISTRY™, one of the top five global prestige brands of skin care and cosmetics, is a recognized leader in specialized development of Asian skin care regimens and emphasizes premium, anti-aging skin care.

Talent and innovation

The company is in its third year of a strategic plan intended to drive innovation, talent and growth. “Amway has hired 23 executive leaders in the past three years,” said Van Andel, “adding to a world-class senior management team that has grown with the Amway business. The new leaders bring outside perspectives and insights to us, and the veterans are giving them a strong, supportive base to build from.”

Amway’s parent company earlier this year announced a strategic partnership with Metagenics, developer of therapeutic nutritional supplements that are primarily sold through health care providers. Gurwitch Products, marketer of Laura Mercier cosmetics and ReVive skin care products, continued a strong, stable pattern of growth and expansion. Sales of third-party manufacturing and logistics services through subsidiary Access Business Group were lower in 2009, in part due to the challenges faced by those customers, and in part due to an increased need for manufacturing and logistics capacity based on growth of the Amway business.

“In 2010, we will continue to change the way people see Amway,” said DeVos. “We are finding new ways to articulate our values and our opportunity so that we can connect to entrepreneurs and product consumers around the globe.”

Tiens Biotech FY09 Profit Declines –
   
Nutrition supplement products maker Tiens Biotech Group USA, Inc. reported Monday a decline in profit for the full year ended December 31, 2009, reflecting a drop in revenues during the year.
For the full year, net income attributable to the Tianjin, China-based company decreased to

$23.84 million or $0.33 per share from

$27.66 million or $0.39 per share in the previous year.

Revenues for the year declined to $61.98 million from $77.25 million in the prior year.

Region-wise, revenues from China decreased to $27.24 million from $33.71 million a year earlier, partially due to a decline in domestic distributors' demand after stocking up on products in 2008.

International revenues were $34.73 million compared to $43.54 million a year ago. The company noted that the drop in international revenue was due to decreases in sales in the Asia-Pacific and Europe-Asia regions and also due to a general weakness in the global economy. Income from operations dropped to $25.8 million from $33.8 million in the preceding year. Gross profit margin for the year was 67.5%, compared to 67.8% in the previous year.

Jinyuan Li, chairman, president and chief executive officer said, "We remain confident that domestic sales will return to, and potentially exceed, previous levels, as distributors begin to replenish their stock of our products. In addition, we maintain this same positive sentiment regarding international sales, which we expect will benefit from the removal of export restrictions and gradual economic improvement."

Ever controversial multilevel marketer YTB International anticipates a net loss of $9.9 million for the fiscal year 2009, compared to a net loss of $4.5 million for the prior year, the company told the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). YTB also said that it is unable to file its Annual Report (Form 10-K) for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2009 by the SEC deadline ”without unreasonable effort and expense.”

Headquartered in Wood River, IL,  YTB said, based on the information available at this time, the net loss from discontinued operations for the year ending December 31, 2009 is expected to be $3.1 million compared to a net loss of $762,000 for 2008. Net revenues are anticipated to be $67.3 million in 2009 compared to $159.5 million reported in 2008. 

YTB said the delay was caused by the resignation of John D. Clagg as CFO on February 2, 2010. YTB said it had been unable to complete all of the information requested by YTB’s independent auditors. YTB expects to file the Form 10-K no later than the 15th calendar day following the due date. Robert M. Van Patten, YTB’s CEO and interim CFO signed the filing.

In its SEC filing, YTB said total operating expenses for 2009 are currently $75 million compared to $162.8 million reported in 2008. Other items anticipated to have a significant impact on the net loss for 2009 include non-cash impairment charges for goodwill and intangible assets of $450,000 and $2.2 million, respectively, compared to $149,000 of goodwill impairment reported in 2008. 

Also currently included in the net loss for 2009, are asset impairment charges of $4.5 million compared to $366,000 reported in the prior year period. The $4.5 million in asset impairment charges in 2009 relate primarily the $3.9 million write-down of YTB’s headquarters property. YTB intends to sell the property within the next 12 months. Inventory impairment charges are anticipated to be $724,000 for 2009 compared to $3.0 million reported in 2008, YTB said.

D.N.A. Review summary:

Red flags all over, controversial management, unknow contract partner, ridiculous promises, a waste of time and money…

Data Network Affiliates (D.N.A.) claims that it will pay people for collecting license plate numbers and sending that info into the company. For doing this D.N.A. promise to pay you. It has also incorporated a MLM model enabling you to leverage your efforts and theoretically earn $100s, $1000s.  This is achieved by earning $2 per person for each downline member who does the same thing as you “within their first 30 days of signing up. Approx. 75,000 people sign up for free.

The optional “Data Input Software Module” will cost  $29.97 monthly plus a set up fee of $97.

The people behind D.N.A so far: Phil Piccolo, Arthur Kurek,  Donald Kessler,  George Madiou, Jeff Long and Chris Greco (Mobile phones)

In our due diligence on those gentlemen you discover facts and figures with red flags all over. D.N.A. is in our opinion a setup to collect as many email adresses worldwide as possible with false promises, and to drive people to third party products. There is where the money is made and Jeff Long is coming in.

Phil Piccolo denies he is involved in D.N.A. as he is aware of his very bad reputation. He is telling he has nothing to do with the company, it is "John Nocton". However this "John Nocton" has send several messages with the same I.P. adres as Phil Piccolo to this website, meaning John and Phil are using the same computer…..

D.N.A. strategy  looks like the former Iraqi  Information Minister Muhammed Saeed al-Sahaf strategy; Deny and Lie:

"I triple guarantee you, there are no American soldiers in Baghdad."

RED FLAGS ALL OVER…

The facts and Red Flags:

1. Red Flag: Domain registered on Grand Cayman.
2. Red Flag: Registrant Organization: Unknown
   
3. Red Flag: Founder – Phil Piccolo has a very bad reputation.
   
4. Red Flag: Field leader – Jeff Long has a controversial reputation.
   
5. Red Flag: Dean Blechman, former "CEO", left in a hurry.
6. Red Flag: Founder is telling proven lies.
   
7. Red Flag: Founder is making big and ridiculous promises
   
8. Red Flag: Not possible to visit the company.
   
9. Red Flag: No company address
10. Red Flag: No information about the owners, company history ect. on the website.
11. Red Flag: Debt free company? No information at all.
12. Red Flag: Third party products are pushed and used as corporate money makers.
    
13. Red Flag: Tagging license plate numbers is controversial in several USA states & countries.
    
14. Red Flag: Third party banners on the D.N.A. website, to make some corporate money.
    
15. Red Flag: D.N.A. Privacy Policy is very poor.
    
16. Red Flag: D.N.A. website is out dated "an one men show".
    
17. Red Flag: Email communications to the field with ridiculous promises.
18. Red Flag: As a distributor with who do you have a contract?
19. Red Flag: "Customer support" a gmail account? dna.support.dna@gmail.com

The D.N.A. "corporate" Team….. are this people you can trust?
Phil Piccolo Founder	Jeff Long "Field leader"	George Madiou "Ceo"	Arthur Kurek "President"

We don't think so, "I triple guarantee you, there are no American soldiers in Baghdad."

George Madiou on Worldwidescam.info: http://www.worldwidescam.info/email_george.htm

Update: 26 April 2010: D.N.A. Breaks All Associations with Chris Greco. A part of George Madiou's DNA Email:

"After meeting Mr. Chris Greco, everything seemed to be too good to be true. The names he was tossing around and the prices he said he could deliver were just unbelievable. Let's face it a $10 a month unlimited talk and text plan, a $19.95 a month unlimited talk & text with 20 MB of DATA plan, were two unbelievable products that got us very excited, and we knew it would get our affiliates thrilled also. The excitement was contagious and we immediately put our full I.T. Division along with our entire Web team on the DNA Cellular Project.

Well the dream turned into a nightmare. After selling hundreds, or should we say thousands of cellular agreements, Mr. Greco said he could not deliver either product. He stated that Sprint had terminated his reseller agreement. In fact further investigation on our part, of Mr. Greco and his so called $10 and $19.95 monthly service agreements, we found that there are no such service plans to be found by any carrier, anywhere on the planet, by any company in the industry. He also said his good friend of 20 years Mr. Dan Hesse CEO of Sprint found out that "DNA Affiliates" were raiding the Liberty International, WOW Mobile downline groups. He also stated that Mr. Dan Hesse found out that "Phil Piccolo" is the lead consultant to the corporate team' 

"In regard to Phil Piccolo, it is no secret that Phil Piccolo is a lead consultant to the D.N.A. corporate team and we are happy to have him on our team."
