God bless the United States of America. We’re a nation of dreamers, optimists and sometimes, hopeless suckers. Some of the greatest get-rich-quick schemers have been able to get a foothold here in the States. Through the internet, we now have a glut of ways for any average joe to become a millionaire “right from the comfort of his home!”
Sure, there are ways to get wealthy online, but there is no legitimate way to start banking thousands in less than a month with “little to now experience. Hey guys, it seems like you ACTUALLY do have to know what you’re doing!
There are basically three elements that are needed to accumulate wealth. they are:
1) Hard, hard work
2) Education/experience
3) chance
The ratios can vary, but those are the basic elements. A neurosurgeon working from 9-5 will make much, much more money than a vacuum cleaner salesman, because of his level of expertise. Lottery winners are the scourge of the universe- they made it with 100 percent chance.
King Solomon once wrote something that still rings true: “there is nothing new under the sun”.
There will never be a “brand new method” to make money, or something that allows you to “beat the system”. Notwithstanding, thousands of people fall for schemes that promise that very thing.
Let’s take a look at some examples:
internetrichlife.com It screams “hoax” from the beginning. What’s wrong with this phrase?
Special System, you can Make
AT LEAST $240/ DAY GUARANTEED
Starting Immediately & at the End of
TODAY you Will have put $240 in your
Bank Account?…All This with
NO Experience and ONLY a Home
Computer?
New special System? No experience? See things through the eyes of the person that’s pitching this “incredible” deal: why would I want to guarantee some inexperienced slob 240 dollars a day? If this were true, it would mean a collapse of the entire American workforce- Blue-collar workers would be able to log into their public library’s computers and have a GUARANTEED 240 dollars by the END OF TODAY! Thank God for bloggers. Disturbed Penguin has wrote (in somewhat colorful language) his experience with internetrichlife.com.
2) La Promesa Corporation
At the start, it looks promising: A telecommunications company that is going to open next year, and cater to hispanic christians living in the US. They are currently looking for division managers, regional managers, and the like, with salaries ranging from 20,000 to 100,000 dollars. For some levels they offer a car, life insurance and other bonuses. But then comes the question: What’s the catch? For starters, there is a space to put 5 “referrals” on the application. Without the referrals your app will be rejected. Plus, there are “dues” to pay. Take a look at the last page of this application for district managers. Apparently the dues will be debited automatically from your account. That’s a scary thought. A company that recruits on craigslist is going to be taking money from my account… Sounds fishy to me. A google search on La Promesa yields interesting results.
So for all you dreamers out there– the next time you find a spectacular opportunity, stop and think:
Why would this person/company/recruiter want to pay me money?
Will it be because i’m going to work really hard, or because I have education or expertise in that particular field?
What do I have to do to get started? Will there be a cost or a start-up fee involved?
Am I being treated like a producer (someone scrutinizes my skills, asks for a resume), or a consumer (everything is easy, just sign on the dotted line)?
Is there a bigger emphasis on recruiting other people to work than on the product itself?
With these red flags in mind, you’ll be able to differentiate a scam from a legitimate business opportunity.
Capitalist Bum your site is just awesome!
I wanted to say I just joined the LPC, I never believe everything I read on the internet, people say what ever they want on here.
I personally think it is an excellent opportunity and it is about time, people are tired of paying for prepaid minutes now they can get the same thing unlimited with out a credit card or background check, if they have the 150.00.
I can now see why it took this company close to 3 years to get the doors open, every company here in the US is trying to stop them except Nokia LOL.
This is going to really change Cellular forever!
God help us all….
how many people will suffer for this… I dont know.. I hope is all genuine and people make money… but so far.. it is as fake as it can possibly look.
It’s amazing how gullible people are! Use some common sense and you quickly realize this is one big scam!

So the 15th has come an gone…….. from everything I’ve seen and heard no one received the promised phone at the “gala” and everyone is still “recruiting” for this company that seems to be in the same place it was over a year ago. Except now they have hundreds of thousands of dollars from this “gala” and still no results. What are the “faith leaders” saying now? What “promises” are they making to their “followers”?
I’ve been trying to think of why they are doing this… do they want to be the next telecom giant? Do they just want the power? What? I found the following link and may have found the answer: http://www.hwhbiz.com/images/LPC_UNION.pdf
A new credit union…. I’ve heard from friends that the sales people have to become members to get paid. Perhaps this so called phone member program is just to get everyone into this credit union where the real money for these “leaders” will be made………
The latest and the greatest says it will all be over soon. People are now leaving and joining http://www.mywireless.com
We are all thankful to LPC for giving us the crazy idea we could sell cell phones or we would have never found a company that actually is real and does just that.
What is really scary when a Corporation starts using Prayers at a Team meeting, we were on the phone with a trainer and he brakes into prayer “wtf”
All being confused a bit plus taken back a bit to an Amway meeting was sort of scary.
Where are these people from, I gotta give them credit for pulling off an under construction website for now over a year and it is still working, then to top that off the phontom phones, that never come out, you know last year they were claiming to come out with a different Nokia so basically they just make these claims over and over and it is actually working for them.
Back in January comments were made by a few on Abel Mesa working for Primerica a company that sells life insurance. The easiest way to confirm this is to contact the New York State Insurance Commissioner and see if was ever licensed as an agent with the company.
As Far as LPC, from what I can tell it’s a scam to collect data on people. Then they take the data and sell it to companies for call lists.
My friends I think after reading so many CAUTION SIGNS…..I think we should listen to the message.
This is not the only business opportunity of a lifetime….remember AMWAY….NONI Juice….MONAVIE…MARY KAY….and let’s not forget about “GET PAID TO BE A SECRET SHOPPER” or for you old school biz seekers “Sort MAIL ” for large corps.
Hey some are legit and some are not but I think the real tell-tale sign that hasn’t been highlighted is “ACT NOW or SIGN UP by today” or miss the boat. The pressure is making haste and leading to the large sign-ups and potentially downfalls.
Let’s face it…. we’ve all been taken at some point by bums asking us for money and then using it for drugs OR….door to door solicitors saying their funds go to kids for crummy cookies at 3x the price.
So I wish all those concerned to take a deep breath and realize that your efforts and $200 bucks could go to a more legitmate cause.
God Bless….no pun intended
Anonymous, I would like to find out more about the company you went to: Please email me at donnajohnson1@peoplepc.com. It would be nice to check out a legitimate opportunity. I will be looking for your reaponse.
I was a new lpc member just in a few days ago, but recently heard as of Friday of last week, the company went under due to FBI investigations my upline is pretty sure it is now over for all of them, many of high level guys are already jumping ship at this point.
That is pretty much the end of LPC known as Lpc global communications club.
I think people should learn a lesson from this I know I did.
We have to always look at how a company conducts its business, with poor management, one real red flag was the fact they love putting Gods name in their business as if people are serving God while working for them. Then they continued to lie over people getting phones excuse after excuse.
Then just take a look at the website, my 5 year old son could have put that together it is total garbage, when you see a business pull out the Amway tricks it is usually the end.
Well, I don’t know about anyone else but I couldn’t run around for a year or so working like a maniac, building a sales force (or contact list) for someone and receive no compensation. I am with a legitimate telecom company and have built sales teams for them. We get paid every week for our efforts and I can sleep well at night knowing that I have helped many families generate much needed income by training serious business minded individuals.

Rumor has it that those who have separated from LPC Global have begun their own telecommunications company. They are in the process of putting on the final touches before it is prelaunched. Members who elect to join may do so and be enrolled in the same position they are in when they left LPC global. The company is keeping everything under a closed wrap and it is definitely well put together and they already have the phones in place. I wonder how Mr.Mesa must feel now?…..all his scamming has cost him so much in members who are leaving to join “the new company”…ta ta…..
Abel Mesa of LPCGlobal is a Fraud and a blasphemous Liar.
Septiembre 19/08
Señor ABEL MESA
LPC GLOBAL
La presente para contestar la carta que usted puso en 17 de este mes, en la pagina de LPC.Net.
Vamos a hacer un poco de historia porque las personas no quieren escuchar falsas informaciones como Ud. Dice que hay personas que la estan diciendo.
1-Es una informacion falsa cuando se dice que los quince millonarios mas grande de este mundo incluyendo al Sr. Donald Trump; y después nunca mas se oye sobre estas personas. Es una falsa informacion decir que la India iba a entregar los telefonos y que se iba a hacer la plataforma de comunicación de LPC y que ademas LPC tenia con la India el submarino.
Es otra casualidad que tampoco se supo mas nada sobre la Compañía de la India
.Tambien es una falsa informacion cuando se dice que LPC tenia el absoluto control sobre la tecnología G4; cuya cosa el dueño de la tecnología G4 no sabia que Ud. tenia la exclusividad del G4.
Tambien es una falsa informacion cuando se dice delante de mas de 2000 personas presentes que en Octubre 1, le entregarian la llave de un edifiico comprado por LPC; cuyo dueño del edificio dice que jamas el le vendio este edificio y que usted nunca lleno una solicitud para ni rentar en este edifico.
Como tambien es una falsa informacion que en Julio 25 el Sr. Samir dijo delante de los presentes que les regalaria 2000 celulares a los Junior y Señor de LPC.
Tambien es una falsa informacion cuando se dice que el dia 15 en la Gran Gala esos supuestos 2000 telefonos, se les daria a las personas presentes con informacion de trabajo, cena y celular, por un bajo costo de $100.00; es tambien una falsa informacion decir que en dos semanas esos celulares serian enviados a casa de las personas presentes; tambien se dijo en falsa informacion que los telefonos no se habian entregados en la noche de Gala; porque habian personas que entraron a la Gala sin ser parte de LPC; veremos si esto es verdad; si esto fuese asi porque entonces no se entregaron los telefonos en las dos semanas prometido por usted; y bien claro sepa usted que la lista de PAYPAL, y de las personas que pagaron en la puerta nunca LPC dejo de tenerla.
Entonces si no tenian las listas para llamar las personas si tenian los bauchers o recibos que fueron llenados por todos los asistentes. Entonces cual es la verdadera excusa para no haber entregado los telefonos. Sencillamente; no habian telefonos.
Y bien, hablando de la estructura de LPC a cual estructura usted se refiere?; porque que yo sepa en ningun momento usted pago a los lideres que bajo sus nombres, su esfuerzo de trabajo, que le costo dinero a todos los lideres, gasolina,tiempo,sacrificio de su familia, trabajaron. Es muy duro decir en estos momentos que esa estructura es suya; cuando usted en ningun momento le ha pagado a nadie para decir que es suya.
Tambien es un atrevimiento y una frescura quitar un lider y poner las personas de este lider donde usted quiera.
Otra pregunta que viene en camino; donde estan las acciones que compraron las personas; o es que va a decir que ellos no compraron acciones sino derechos a comprar acciones.
Entonces Sr. Mesa, quien ha dado hasta ahora falsas informaciones?
Si todas las informaciones que se estan dando es solamente lo que ha salido de su boca.
No es ninguna conveniencia de nadie,como usted dice. No es nada para nadie lucrarse, es solamente defendiendo a las miles de personas que han sido perjudicadas en el nombre de LPC; y es una lastima que muchas personas ud. Las haya engañado de esta manera en que usted lo ha hecho.
Y esto se lo mando a decir yo J. D.

Sept 19/08
Mr ABEL BUREAU
GLOBAL LPC
This reply to the letter you put on 17 this month, at the site of LPC.Net.
Let’s make a little history because people do not want to hear as you false information. He says that there are people that are saying.
1-It is a false information when it is said that the fifteen largest millionaires of this world, including Mr. Donald Trump, and then never hear about these people. It is a false information saying that India would hand over the phone and she was going to make the communication platform of LPC and LPC also had the submarine to India.
It’s another chance that neither knew anything more about the Company in India
. It is also a false information when he said that the LPC had absolute control over the technology G4; thing as the owner of the technology G4 did not know you. had the exclusivity of the G4.
It is also a false information when he said in front of over 2000 people present that on October 1, handed him the key to a building purchased by LPC, which the owner of the building said that he never sold this building and you never filled an application or for rent in this building.
As is also false information that Mr July 25. Samir said before the meeting that they regalaria 2000 at the cellular and Junior Lord of LPC.
It is also a false information when he said that the 15th at the Grand Gala 2000 telefonos these assumptions, would be given to people present information working with, dinner and cellular, for a low cost of $ 100.00, is also a false information to say In two weeks these cells would be sent home by those present; also stated in the false information that telephones were not in the Gala night, because people who had entered the Gala is not part of LPC, we will see if this is true, if this was so because then the phones were not delivered within two weeks promised by you, and you know it very clear that the list of PAYPAL, and people who paid at the door LPC never stopped it.
So if the lists had to call people if they had the bauchers or receipts which were filled by all attendees. So what is the real excuse for not having delivered the phones. Simply put, had no telephones.
Well, speaking of the structure of LPC structure to which you refer? Because I know in no time you pay to leaders that under their names, their effort of labor, which will cost money to all leaders, petrol, time, slaughter of her family, worked. It’s hard to say at this moment that this structure is yours, if you at any time you have paid anyone to say it’s theirs.
It is also a freshness and audacity to remove a leader and put the people of this leading where you want.
Another question that is coming, where are the people who bought shares, or is it going to say they bought shares but no rights to buy shares.
Then Mr. Mesa, who has so far given false information?
If all information they are giving is just what has come out of his mouth.
It is no convenience for anyone, as you say. It’s nothing for anyone profiting, it is only defending the thousands who have been harmed in the name of LPC, and it is a pity that many people ud. ‘ve Cheated in this way that you have done.
And this is what I say remote J. D.

pre-launch… where have I heard that one before?
It’s a common enough word in network marketing:P!
I am scared because the recruiters were able to scam there way into my church, in Houston, TX, which is small and mostly immigrants from all over. They don’t speak English and we are like one family in Jesus. One pastor from another church who genuinely believed these people recruited my pastor who trusted him. I gave my SS# and info and I am scared of what can happen to me. This whole thing is very sad. It sounds like the whole Madoff scandal. This is a sign of our times. Look what Madoff has done in stealing $65 billion dollars from people including non-profit organizations which cannot help those people in need now because of those losses. The worst part about this scam is that it specifically targets vulnerable Christians and immigrants. This is a sign of our times. Its awful and I hope that those people involved in their operation are investigated and stopped before they cause any more serious damage. How can we make sure that this is happening? I want to make sure that they are stopped and all their files are confiscated and accounted for before they get into the hands of other criminals.
How can anyone not be able to resist this scam? Don’t you know that preying on “Christians” is like the oldest trick in the book. They use their blind faith against them. Look at how the Republicans played you guys.
These stories NEVER end well. One day, you’ll see them on Dateline or something.
Christians – Wake up, resist the money temptation and pray for the thiefs…don’t get had by them. This is 2009 for God’s sake!
@ A MESA:
It’s true, people have to “wake up” and realize that everyone that claims they had a vision from God may not be telling the truth. But be careful with making blanket statements where “Christians” are portrayed as innocent fools.
Stupidity isn’t exclusive to Christians, or any other group of people.
A Mesa did it again!!!
In MD,DC and VA he created a group of people that during 2008 summer recruited many memebers to the Promesa, then they had to buy a miraclous ATM Card to start working, that ATM card should be in everybody's mailboxes in 15 days that never happened.
Then, Mesa launched his start up on Miami and there, he showed splendor and glamour in the presentation. Then, everybody had to wait because in 2 months the company should start a massive operation in all the Media and everywhere.
Then, Mesa, went to the MD again to sell stocks that were about to be set on Wall Street saying that he was offered to sell his company for 500 million dollars but he as a such a good person interested in poor people's development was not going to sell his company. He then used to give people a cirtificate like document to prove his intentions.
Now, He has not returned the money and no one knows where to contact him becuase when he was in the MD presented a telephone that was the one which la Promesa would start but for no reason it had the AT&T provider logo and Mesa said that he had an agreement with them, but never could prove it.
So there you have it again: the same story, the same tricks but in different people.
Now he re opened again his company because very bad people tried to stop his God commited company and He had to start all over again.
SCAM=Mesa
