Lyoness In Compliance With USA Laws
MLM Watchdog Rod Cook reported last month Lyoness was not in compliance with USA laws. This week he has pulled back his warning.
A big relief for a lot of Lyoness distributors. Lyoness defines itself as a shopping community.
Together we are stronger and we create an added value from which all Lyoness Members benefit. Hubert Freidl (photo), founder came up with this inspiring business idea and many business members soon joined him.
He founded Lyoness in July 2003. Today Hubert Freidl is the CEO of Lyoness International AG and the man with the ideas, as well as being the driving force of the company. A total of approximately 350 employees of Lyoness Europe AG, Lyoness America Inc., and Lyoness Middle East & Africa make up the future orientated strong team that currently support more than 2 million cashback members and cashback loyalty partners.
With 24 regional offices in 21 European countries, North America and now also in the Middle East, Lyoness is now active on three continents.

Thanks, Mr Ted for accepting my suggestion of posting this article on your site.

Hi Ted,
Thank you for this post and also to Nikola.
If you remember, I said in my post regarding the Rod Cook’s article, that “Lyoness has no problem at all? but I could imagine already someone who probably will have”.
(here is the link to the post https://www.businessforhome.org/2012/02/lyoness-and-mlmwatchdog-rod-cook/)
Three weeks later he pulled it back!
I told you that I know Lyoness, and I know how they care about the brand.
That’s one of strongest reasons why I’m a proudly Lyoness Business Member.
However, the problem is that people like Mr. Rod Cook, and his followers, already have done damage to the brand.
Those kind of articles spread like wildfire through out the Internet. And it’s impossible to revert that.
So, I’m glad for Ted’s attitude publishing this new post. It’s not only important for Lyoness, but to the MLM industry.
If we all want a stronger industry, we need to be more and more responsible and part of that is not allowing things like that unprofessional and irresponsible article.
Actually this is a continuous process, and I bet that in a few days it will be another buzz regarding something that is happening right now in Europe. Just wait and see… I know what I’m saying!
But hey, be cool, because the guardians (or dogs!!) will came to save us all.
Regards,
Luis Roque
Thanks Luis,
any time, Together we are stronger

Nikola

I agree with Luis Roque (my first Direct) , and the best of all it was proved once again
that LYONESS is a serious concept, and takes matters with its own hands.
At the time I did not comment anything, as I new that LYONESS would have a big say
to false statements of “Rod Cook”

Well done LYONESS

I find it sad that a so called industry expert such as Rod Cook can issue an opinion that was so flawed.
Unfortunately it makes one very dubious of any of the reports made on status of MLM Companies etc. as too many people have vested interests. The same is true of many TV and newspaper reports, after all they nearly all depend on advertisers and cannot afford to offend them either.
I am not accusing Rod of having vested interests or being biased, but he certainly was wrong in this instance. The fact that major Corporations and retailers are contracted with Lyoness should have alerted him to research very carefully where he would have found that many corporate lawyers and executives of top Companies had checked Lyoness out before risking their reputations and credibility by contracting with them.
Lyoness is unique in that it is FREE to join, has no specific products to buy or sell, no monthly qualification in order to receive commissions earned plus lots more. I firmly believe that any net worker who shops in the real world should at least be a member of Lyoness, even if they choose not to promote it, as it will save them money at most of their favourite stores in the future.
If anyone requires more information skype me at talkingcents or find me on Facebook

I wouldn’t say that Rod Cook spoke too fast. I believe that at the time he made the warning statement, Lyoness was not compliant, in the beginning you could make a $3000 downpayment in the U.S.. Now the top downpayment in the U.S. is around $1000.
According to Troy Dooley of MLMhelpdesk.com, it is good that Lyoness is taking a close look at the “down payment” options. That was a “red flag.” However, he mentions that there are still videos that say that Lyoness is not an MLM…that can cause problems. I don’t understand why anyone would try to say that Lyoness is not an MLM company. There is nothing wrong with MLM and the fact that on makes a commission on the sales of someone that is not directly sponsored by him, but could be a few generations down, is by definition an MLM.
I hope it turns out that Lyoness is fully compliant in the US, It could be really excutung.
By the way, if I saw it right at one of the meetings, there are qualifications to get paid, just not personal purchase qualifications.
Good job on the name “Talkingcents” it is a clever name.
Thanks so much for this article…I always said Lyoness IS ROCK SOLID! Anyone looking at this opportunity…take it seriously. It is a great opportunity. Hop on aboard and know that Together we are strong!
Well, from what uve read about the company I’m really sketchy about even joining this company due to the legal.actions towards it in 3 other countries! That right there is a HUGE RED flag for me. I’ve researched it and haven’t seen any good statements about this company. All I’ve seen is bad reviews and a lot of legal action stuff towards the company. *sigh* The thing is that I have friends already doing this and they might already pull out of it. So how would we be assured that this company is really in compliance with the united states?!
Do you really think that WalMart, Walgreens,Macy’s, Sears , Kmart and Reebok just a few would jump on board to risk everything? These big companies have had their lawyers go over it for sure. Do you know that the company has a ISO number which you have to go through a lot of crap just to get and be legit to get it. Every company has bumps in the road when staring in new countries. And look the company resolved it fast and to make sure they where in compliance. You said 3 bad reports. WOW really , only 3 in 9 yrs they have been open. Um Not bad if you ask me.
