What REALLY turned me off was that he referred to other people in the business as Mr and Ms. This might sound minor to somne people, but it hit a nerve with me. It rings of "cult" and maybe undeserved admiration of people who "might" be earning 5 dollars more than you are. There are very few businesses in America where people call each other Mr and Ms. Company presidents and people earning millions of dollars are referred to as "Joe" - not Mr. Green. It seemed especially strange to refer to these people as Mr and Ms when talking to a complete third party. Weird. We never know what can turn another person off. This certainly ended any possibility for me. A guy approachd me about 5Linx.

get smart people … what ive learned from dealing with these companies is the effort i put up to build and sell thier products … i could do the same for what i luv to do in life … and start to build my own business … where im really the boss … and @ the sametime if i fail or if i struggle trying to reach my goals … im good because im not just doing it for the $$$$$ like i would be with 5linx …

use that time and energy to really build you and not 5linx … there will be another company just like it preaching the same ole shit … its been going on for years … yet everyone in hear still doesnt know a person that is personally successfully off of MLM … but supposely thier out there LOL … where are they …. they dont go to the YMCA and normal shit like that lol …

if its sounds too GOOD to be true … chances are IT IS !!!!!!!!!!

My question to you is what are you doing? How much money are you making? 5linx is real i was skeptical too before i got in and now that i make more money than i have ever made. i am not skeptical MLM is the biggest thing now working from home for a small investment and to run a million dollar business from home is surreal to some people but its real to the ones who do it. Be your own boss! You cant fired yourself! Wake up everyone! Recession is here but not in 5linx Inc 500 again this year 2009 and we are going to keep doing until you guys on this site show me another way that i can make more money then email me until 5linx is the way that i am going and i am looking to help others out WHO WANT TO BE HELP! No Pie in the sky here. you have to work it. its Home (of course) but it is still a Business! First and foremost this goes out to everyone who think or who says 5linx is fake or fraud it doesnt pay.

Finally I agreed to sign up and was told I had to pay a monthly fee of $49.99 to be able to access the company website to track my sales and commission.After my credit card was declined at a gas station 3 days later,I asked my credit card company for the last 5 transactions on my card and .....you must have guessed,..$499.00 had been charged by 5linx.As I write,I'm still waiting for that charge to be reversed.
