I recently went to a meeting here in Brea, Ca. at the Embassy Suites and was wondering what you guys think about it. It seems kind of like a legal pyramid scheme where you make money by getting more people to join as reps and also by selling the internet services it provides. It seems as though many people are making money from 2by2.net because I see their stickers on cars everywhere. Fox 11 news is running a story about it tonight on the 10 o' clock news.

If it sounds too good to be true, it probably isn't. Except when refering to the S2000

It's a "multi level marketing" scheme (much like AmWay), and you're too late. There is a product sold, but the real money is in the ridiculous up-front fees you pay to get in on the game.

Do a search, there's an extensive post regarding the "tip" of the pyramid and his McLaren F1.

Edit: Here is the thread, and it's a diablo, not an F1.

I've resigned to the fact that I'm not going to be any of the following:

1. the guy living in a trailer park in the middle of nowhere who wins the lotto jackpot.

2. cybersquatter who sells to microsoft making millions

3. the next "million dollar idea"

4. marries rich

I guess I'll just work for my money.

The owner of 2by2.net always came to my work with his trophy blonde.....along with a Diablo, he has a S55 AMG, and like a Escalade or something. There were other part owners/CEOs of the company who also came in rolling up in a escalade.

Basically, if you're at the top, then you're making cash...but the whole thing's expunged by now. People are just losing cash.
