The Incident that happened with me was regarding the business, that a guy named DXXX ChXXXX , (who was my friend) was doing. He told me that, he is doing an E Commerce business which is very profitable. He asked me that if i would like to join him. I asked for a bit of details from him. He took me to his senior partner, named KiXXX. He told me that they have only two positions of partners, hence i have to submit 1.5 lakhs immediately without delay, otherwise they will sign up some one else for their business project.

When i asked about the business, they mentioned that “it is an e commerce business. Hence by paying money, i will be buying 3 shares of the company named Q.Net and i will be a partner”. They said ” I will get a technical code, which i can circulate amongst my friend & relatives circle and whenever they will shop, i will get the 10% of the total amount. They told me that projected profit per partner is 4.81 crore in 4 to 5 years.So, its not at all tough business.” When i was asking about company & business more, he never answered. He said its not our “standard operating procedure” SOP. The shocking thing was that the lady named Kiran whom i met, was his elder sister, whom he introduced as a senior partner.

As they were pressurizing me for money to close the position. I applied for loan, and i gave a cheque of 1.5 lakhs to DXXX ChXXXX in his name. After taking cheque, he went to kuala lumpur for almost 2 weeks and once he came back, his behaviour regarding me started changing. He became rude day by day. After he came back, he ordered products from that website called QNET, of the money i gave to him instead of 3 Shares. He sent the products without asking me at all. The products were QVI Bronze Holiday Package, Some Health Drink, Chi Pendant, E Guard Stickers & a necklace set. When this Holiday package came to my home, i was shocked to see, that the package will get invalid , if i will not submit the mount of 12k approx by December ’13.

He showed me financial’s after coming from Kuala Lumpur and while seeing financials i came to know that it is “Network Marketing”, and I have to make 6 partners to start making money. than i realised that something wrong has happened with me. After Financials he took me to Lajpat Nagar for some Welcome session, In which the speaker was talking “Dreams”. Speaker told everyone present in the hall to write down minimum 20 Dreams that i would like to fulfill, than he told to make a name list of people whom i know. minimum 150 names. He explained that our name list should exceed by 10% every month, means we have to make new friend to make business partners. etc etc.

The very next day after this session, he took me to a conference nearby Dhaula Kuan that these people call it as “System”. Where their Senior Partners (they call them Uplines) come and address the audience by showing off money.& their experience. Still i was not clear that what is this all going on? What i have to do in business? and DeeXXX was not answering me regarding anything. Whenever i questioned him, he roudly replied that “just do as i am saying, dont dare to run your own brain in this work. No Questions, Just do as i say”. He gave a set of books and DVD’ s to study before i start this business. I read the books & watched the DVD’s . they were all about how to do network marketing. I was amazed to see, that i have got trapped by the tactics shown in the DVD’s & Books. Next time when he met me, he told me about Hot, Warm & Cold Zones.

Hot Zones – Means the people who are very close to you and trust you a lot like your parents, best friends and relatives.
Warm Zones – Means your normal friends
Cold means – the people whom you dont know at all.

These zones were the target for them. DeeXXX told me to make name list of all 800 contacts on my facebook. I was doing it than he told me to call up my near dear ones and tell them ” Bada acha business hath laga hai, send me money of minimum Rs.1 lakh immediately to my account. Agar profit nai mila toh, i will give you double amount in 3 years that no bank will give” He told me show urgency by saying ” I have only 1 position and i have to close it immediately, send me money jaldi se” . he told me not to answer any questions of anyone and keep the call. I felt very strange about all these things. According to me, this is not a right or ethical thing that was happening with me. Whatever they were teaching me, was not at all convincing for me. My ethics doesn’t allow me to do anything wrong and lie anyone for money. Hence after seeing all this, i started asking more questions from deeXXX and he started getting more & more roud with me. I decided to quit, than one of their senior partners told me that the refund period is for 7 Days. I felt cheated, he told me to email an application to qnet saying that I am ill, hence i cannot continue business, so kindly refund my money. But he clearly mentioned there is no guarantee that the amount will be refunded to me after writing several applications as well. and the most bad thing was here also ” i was advised to write Lie”.

I have been cheated because i saw that, they are teaching me ways to make people fool and get the money from your own friends & relatives. i found it completely unethical. The people who are called Up Lines, listen to every call. They listen to calls to know what are we talking about, as we are not supposed to say a single word without their permission. They want me to get people on the table to see this business plan, and immediately pay them money. The products were sent to me without my permission or consultation. I felt my money has been wasted unnecessarily and still i have to pay 12k approx to save the holiday package of 95k by December. On sheer trust i gave money and now i am paying EMI’s because i cant lie or break anyone’s trust. Hence i didnt even made a single partner in this business.
I would like to get my money back, so that i can pay my loan back and can live my life peacefully.
