Abunza is a Scam
Written by jonathan on November 19, 2008Welcome back!
Abunza is a scam.
There I said it.
What the hell is Abunza, you ask?
Well, it’s the latest get rich quick, pyramid scheme making it’s way around the various social media networks. It’s not really clear what Abunza exactly is, all I know it that the followers of the cult are so convinced that it works that they are dangerous.
Abunza is some crackpot scheme involving selling bilingual advertising on the internet (you have to buy their expensive software to do this). But that’s the secondary purpose of the whole operation. They make money by reeling people in. If you sucker people into joining the scheme, you get a commission, then a commission of everyone they bring in and so on; assuring that those at the top of the pyramid are the ones making the big money.
You’ll hear tall tales about struggling moms who have made it big working from home, doing seemingly very little. I fail to see how she makes any money online when her website insults my sensibilities. Looking at it simply makes my eyes hurt.
The worst part about these MLM schemers is that they’ve discovered the internet, an endless pool of idiots waiting to buy into the latest get rich quick schemes. These scammers are out in force on social networking sites, marketing their wares (or lack of them), taking full advantage of Web 2.0 mediums. They’re especially prevalent on Twitter.
They put themselves everywhere so they can insert themselves into your life. They even provide their cell phone numbers in public places so they are easily accessible. Also, be wary of websites telling you not to join Abunza because it’s a scam and they have a better online business opportunity. I’m shocked that Google is still allowing these operation on Blogger and Adwords. They won’t be for long.
People believe in these programs like religion but I’ll be the first to tell them: You’ve been had. And if your at the upper levels of the pyramid, you’re using people and it’s wrong.
Times are tough right now and people are desperate for ways to make money, these scams thrive on this desire in tough times. Don’t get caught up in them. Avoid Abunza like the plague.

You either are not a member of Abunza or you do not understand your Abunza membership clearly.
Some of what you say about “mlm schemers” is true but Abunza is neither a pyramid or mlm.
Mlm can go on and on in levels for multiple commissions on one bottle of juice and you are right about pyramids and fat cats… kind of like insurance companies, eh?
But purchasing extreme current information in multimedia form on how to successfully market your products or services online even if you are a brick ‘n’ mortar business and need to stir up more customers and clients has never been a scam in any era.
Abunza does not sell bilingual advertising nor do you have to buy expensive software. Do your homework before slamming.
As to people who individually upset you, well what can you do about that?
