Are the Synergon Partners of Scottsdale Arizona a Scam? I received a letter from them offering me this great opportunity to make alot of money for a small investment.

Clearly a scam.

First of all, the article that supposedly appeared in the LA Times doesn't exist. That is a lie. Why would you send any company money that chooses to do business this way?

Furthermore, if you go to the website, you'll see lots of glowing biographies about these extraordinarily successful people. My question is simple: if these folks are as successful as they say they are, why do they need to hawk a $35 self-help book with the help of a fictitious article from the LA Times?

My advice is stay well clear. Nobody can guarantee a $2 million a year income. It is only possible through hard work and providing a service that people are willing to pay for. It's the way the market works. There are no shortcuts, and a $35 book won't make it happen unless you're prepared to do what's necessary.

"Opportunity to make a lot of money for a small investment"....sounds like "too good to be true"...so stay away from it.

Do some research on the internet, that's what I would do. Find their number, maybe call them, see what they're about. Take notes...then research the notes on the internet and see what you find. Hope this helps.

If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is

I'm sure it is...

There's no website. I find it difficult to trust ANY business that doesn't have one, now-a-days. If they are so rich, and ready to share, why wouldn't they have a website?

I also don't trust any emails sent from a free email address.

Just got this same letter yesterday and I had the same question most if you had, which sounded like a great opportunity to make lots of money! As we all know there are lots of scams out there, and they make the millions from the many that want to make easy and fast money, so thousands will send in the 35.00 dlrs. they ask, while its not very much from each, its alot when its all added up and they get rich. So bottom line I am glad I got online to check these out and from what read the odds are that they are a Scam! I feel that not all of us can all be wrong....Thanks Everyone!

You people are obviously all losers, just look at your wallets or bank accounts. When all you look for is negativity such as fraud, or a rip-off, that is all you will ever find in life. Look for goodness and look to the light and happiness and all that comes with it are all that you will see and find. You will always be a victim when you take the victim's stance. Stand up or better yet move yourself into doing something productive with yourselves. Then you will make all the money you need.

Scam.

What do you think? If you have to ask, it probably is.

I received this letter from the Synergon Partners today.I came to this website to research them.They are clearly a scam from what I have read.

I also received this letter today in the mail only it was address to my husband who died November 17, 2008 3 months and 3 days ago. So obviously he is still on their mailing list. It is not a personal hand written invitation, it is printed up material by the tons..... that should tell you something. My first thought was to look up the name on the internet and check them out just to see who they are and see their so called claim to fame, which I immediately doubted, just wanted to see the hype and the Scam information. Well it's there written all over the internet spelled out for all to see, SCAM! Be ware! Don't send them any money, it's a SCAM. I know you would like to get $2 million dollars, but you won't get it without hard work, you will however help them make $2, million dollars by everyone sending them your hard earned money. So Don't do it, be smart and just work and earn it yourself. Be smart,Just Say NO and trash the offer!

110% scam. I know as I've stupidly been scammed so many times, I could be rich by now had I NOT signed up with shysters like these. As the one reply put it, if it comes from Utah and Arizona, esp. Scottsdale or Phoenix, AZ, 98% of internet companies, including most scams, seem to come from these 2 states; also California.

I also received this offer via the USPS.
I noticed how they used certain words in different ways.
For example, throughout the letter the writer mentions $2 million a year and $2 million annual income.
But every other time they mention the $2 million they write "automated" and then write "automatic".
This occurs throughout the letter.

The letter mentions that I met 7 criteria required to be invited to join this exclusive, successful group of people.

The criteria must be: broke, busted, bad credit, cash flow problem, living paycheck to paycheck, moronic, and gullible.
