This company is not for just investing

This company is not for just investing. It is for building businesses, working together and helping other people to succeed. The people who are only putting money must wait some time as the other people who work as marketers are evolving the company as it grows every year bigger and bigger

Great Acting and Well written Play.…

This play had terrible reviews from most newspaper critics. I have just been to see it. Brilliant acting, well written and gripping. Cannot begin to understand how the critics were so damning. The audience loved it and although not everyone stood to applaud at the end a considerable number did stand.

Beware of this Organisation.

As an organisation it is a complete scam and hides from any attempt to recover monies or use accumulated credits. They have no phones in Australia to contact and are extremely slow at replying to emails. They work on the assumption that people will get sick of trying to get compensation from them and just go away. With the initial promotion they did in Australia it is criminal how they have walked away from their clientele. I have been trying to resolve some issues for over 4 months now and have made nil progress.

Scammed people region €6,000 plus, can't ever get your money back …

Knew many many people inc myself who were scammed out of approx €6,000. Myworld lyoness is a pyramid scam that is over dressed to look legit. They had an Irish office that eventually slipped out of town, now its a PO Box type address. Anyway unlucky for alot of people, their money is still there but you can't ever ever take it out unless you shop it out which will cost you twice your investment. Clever to get people to use their connections to scam... Which is actually how a Pyramid Scheme works which is illegal but this one was allowed.

You need to understand the vision and…

You need to understand the vision and how it works before you start this business.
If you decide to run for example a restaurant, you must put thousands of euros to get it ready and hundreds of euros for rent monthly. If you don't succeed too much in the first months, what do you do? You quit? NO.
The same goes into this business. But the difference is that you don't have to put thousands of euros to start.

Rip Off Pyramid Scheme

Joined this paying over €6,000 with no return to date which is fine if you could at the very least see how you lost your money. You cannot get your money back out, I was told one time that "you can shop it out" but would cost you significantly more than your initial investment, possibly double. Anyway, I don't understand any of it now, whatever about when I was being conned into it. Stupid me for being sold it in the first place. From the packed jammed hotel function rooms to so called ambassadors for Lyoness, the long and the short of it is that "I was sold a Pyramid Scheme" and the only way I could get a return was to get more people to invest, THANK GOD I didn't. The initial presentation was flawed and was based on people shopping all over the world. Silly me for getting involved in the first place but saw it as an investment opportunity back then. I see Lyoness has now been declared a Pyramid Scheme in Italy. I'm some gobshite to have fallen for it. Anyway, I have moved on, enjoy my €6,000 Lyoness or whoever you are.....

Malicious Ponzy scheme hidden behind free cashback card

myWorld, Cashback World, Lyoness, Lyconet (also sometimes EyeTime) is a Ponzi scheme hidden behind cashback business. Even their legit cashback business smells: they are re-selling discount vouchers from big retailers and lie that big retailers are their partners. So small businesses pay a lot of money in fees to also be their partners, but they profit exactly nothing from it. Even the worst part is ponzy scheme hidden behind the cashback part: it makes their marketers recruit more marketers in order to build shopping networks. At this point, it would still pass as a legit business, but it gets much wore: almost all profit that the company makes comes from selling units (investments) to their marketers and they can only profit if they downlines also buy a lot of them. The marketers won't confess it is exactly like that, because the whole this charade is dressed in a fancy and complex system. Units don't generate any profit and result in a loss of money.
Stay away.
People will say you need to understand the business before you engage if you want to profit. But the truth is that the company itself constantly struggle to make their business and investment model more and more complex, so no marketer really understands it. They organize massive brainwashing events that resemble one of the religious cults.
Keep your money on the bank. I spent years studying their business model but unfortunately lost my investment. Be smarter than me, stay away.

Ok..

Ok... I just don't get the frustration of many people such oh ! it's my worse nightmare or
Oh! It's a ponzi scheme ecc...
It's with a lot disappointment that I answer you this way:
You are a band of I........
Please forgive me you are.
1st if you don't understand the system in full why you put money in to it?
They call recash poor me my investment how do i do now? Stop cryng like a baby... that's the 50 shopping points that you need to be entitled to receive the benefits, so if your network is not big enough to produce the 50 shopping point that you need in a month the short way is to put 50 euro yourself, get the point and then you get the money back as soon as your network start to produce that points that you needed in the first place.
The office of lyoness where I live is very responsive and helpful...
You must be been drunk when you placed the comment

Utterly Frustrating

I was considering Lyoness as a business. However my circumstances changed I had to stop work and move to care for a terminally ill relative. My only contact in my upline was very pushy for Lyoness and didn't understand that this wasn't for me anymore so the help stopped. I then had to try to navigate the company on my own. The office are very reluctant to assist as they expect my Direct to help and as I mentioned because I'm not making her money my Direct no longer cares! The offices only assistance is forwarding pages and pages of the most complicated rules and regulations. I'm stuck now with Lyoness for years it's the only way I found to release my investment RE Cash it's called. This for me is an utter nightmare I wish I could just leave and forget Lyoness altogether. If I had known it would be like this I would never have joined.
