Here's some much needed comic-relief for readers of this Blog.
____________________________________
Today, a deeply-deluded adherent of the pernicious 'Lyoness' fairy story, signing herself Giulia Fidilio, attempted to post the following repetitive bullshit on 'MLM The American Dream Made Nightmare:'
People...come on! Who is David Brear anyway?
I have never heard of him...is he some sort of expert in direct marketing or MLM?
I have a BA Hons (London Metropolitan University) in Marketing and I don't recall this David Brear as a marketing expert of some sort.
I'm Italian and I have been in Lyoness for over a year.
But, since you want facts, here's a few facts for you:
- I am Italian, and I have been in Lyoness for just over a year
- I started earning money after a month and a half
- I also have a company (MG sas) that is obviously in the lyoness network (we accept the cashback card)
- purchase daily from huge worldwide companies such as Apple, Dell and Expedia...and I have never had a problem (I always receive my cashback)
- in Italy Tamoil is national partner as far as petrol is concerned...well: the vouchers we get also carry the Lyoness logo, and the CEO of Tamoil also comes to meetings
DIRECT SALES AND NETWORK MARKETING ARE NOT A SCHEME: THEY'RE JUST NOT FOR EVERYONE!!
NOBODY CAN PROMISE ANYTHING: IT'S ALL UP TO YOU, AND THE TIME AND EFFORT YOU PUT INTO IT
Also, Mr Brear dutifully forgot to mention that some great financial experts, business minds and great investors (such as Donald Trump and Warren Buffett) believe that network marketing is THE PERFECT BUSINESS.
Anyways: I have proof of everything I said. What I want to find out now is...will you have the guts to publish my post Mr Brear? Or do you only accept negative propaganda???!!
And please note that my post is signed!

Readers might be interested to learn that the apparent author of this provocative cocktail of fact and fiction, is Giulia Fidilio, who (as she states) does have a marketing degree and does run an Italian-registered business which appears in 'Lyoness' documentation on the Web:

I strongly suspect that this 'Giulia' character is not quite what 'she' appears.
Judging by its precisely-worded content, 'Giulia's negative versus positive' propaganda bullshit has almost certainly come from the 'Lyoness' Ministry of Truth. Indeed, it's entirely possible that führer Freidl penned this latest chapter of the fairy story himself.
Notice, particularly, 'Giulia's' tell-tale use of the devious technique of psychological persuasion known as Neuro-Linguistic Programming. 'Giulia' first attempts to character assassinate me. She then attempts to associate herself and 'Lyoness' with the traditional academic world and with the world of traditional business (particularly, Warren Buffet). Finally, she insists that any statement posted on my Blog which challenges the authenticity of the 'Lyoness' fairy story, is 'negative propaganda.'

| Warren Buffet's company, 'Berkshire Hathaway,' owns 'The Pampered Chef,' but Mr. Buffet has certainly never endorsed any so-called 'MLM' Income opportunity' as a viable means for ordinary people to make extra net-income, and it is a lie to suggest that he has. |
Readers might also be interested to learn that I have sent Giulia's unsubstantiated claims about the exact nature of Warren Buffet's declared opinion of network marketing, to Warren Buffet himself. For it is yet more proof that, due to Warren Buffet's ill-judged (and evidently ill-informed) involvement with the kitsch 'MLM income opportunity' known as 'The Pampered Chef,' his name and iconic reputation have been habitually used by racketeers, like Hubert Freidl, to commit fraud and obstruct justice all around the globe.

Obviously, there is a world of difference between investing in a corporate structure which has been making money from peddling a so-called 'MLM income opportunity,' and actually paying to participate in one of these economically-suicidal games of make-believe.

Personally, I'm fascinated to know what this intellectually-castrated person, Giulia, Fidilio, who self-evidently still believes Hubert Freidl's Utopian fairy story to be reality (and who has boasted of being educated only to use marketing terminology) imagines are the appropriate academic qualifications which anyone would require to be
able to recognise, and to describe (in accurate deconstructed terminology), a
pernicious cult operating a dissimulated, blame-the-victim closed-market swindle and related
advance fee frauds?, because that is what the name'Lyoness' has been hiding, and this unoriginal group (of which Giulia Fidilio is currently a classic reality-denying follower), forms part of an evolving criminogenic phenomenon which I have been researching, and writing about, for many years.

In the adult world of quantifiable reality, the pernicious 'Lyoness' fairy story and its narcissistic author, Hubert Freidl, have had precious little to do with 'marketing' (in the traditional sense of the word).

I hope Guila Fidilio will read this.
ReplyDeleteDear Ms. Fidilio,
I am an American of Italian descent (and proud of it) who joined Lyoness at the request of a friend and I'd like to answer your post.
Firstly, I want to note that you refer to Lyoness as "Network Marketing" which in the English language is synonymous with "Multi-Level Marketing. We in the US have been assured over and over again that Lyoness is NOT an MLM. Interesting, no?
I don't think any of us dispute the fact that one can save money using the Lyoness Cashback Card. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that small part of the program. What we take issue with is the pyramid scheme aspect: bringing in everyone you know at a cost of $3,000 a person. We believe that is where the real money is being generated and that it is unsustainable and probably illegal.
In the final analysis, it doesn't really matter who David Brear is, because as we say in English, the proof is in the pudding. If you read his blog or visit the Lyoness Complaint Centre or the website of Austrian attorney Eric Breiteneder, you will find all the evidence you need to call the legitimacy of Lyoness into question.
Buona fortuna.
Thanks Anonymous - for what is important here, is not me, but what I am saying and the way that I'm saying it.
DeleteHowever, I feel that I must point out that when the 'Lyoness Cashback Card' is examined in isolation, it can appear to be quite harmless and even beneficial to people: in the same way that a piece of cheese can seem quite harmless and beneficial to mice, until you examine the cruel trap on which it is sitting.

he following is addressed to Giulia Fidilio:
DeleteThank-you for explaining that you are a 34 year old mother from Verona and not Hubert Freidl in disguise, but unfortunately, even if that is true, you are still parroting your 'Lyoness' führer's words.
The stated editorial policy of 'The American Dream Made Nightmare,' is that scripted-propaganda promoting/hiding blame-the-victim 'Income Opportunity' rackets, will not be published without detailed qualification or heavy irony. This is for the simple reason that such material has been designed to commit fraud and to prevent the victims of that fraud from facing reality and complaining.
Thus, although you have accepted (in your most-recent comment) Warren Buffet most certainly does not believe in 'Lyoness' and that fraud (or what you choose to describe as 'a few problems') has been taking place within 'Lyoness,' your further claim that this fraud has been the fault of a few isolated liars within the organization, is a familiar defence of 'income opportunity' racketeers, which has been used by the narcissistic bosses of groups like 'Amway' and 'Herbalife,' for decades.
Indeed, once you know how blame-the-victim 'Income opportunity' racketeering functions, Hubert Freidl's transparent script (with which he hopes to dodge being held to account), can be predicted with almost total accuracy, and no one should imagine that he/she will be allowed to use it here without being ridiculed.
Furthermore, Giulia Fidilio, your particularly absurd claim that Lyoness cannot be a fraud, because the company has Italian legal certification, and that it is unfair to say that Italian government officials can be corrupted, is worthy of a stand-up comedey routine.
Giulia Fidilio
ReplyDelete- I have read your recent, thoughtless comments which have not been posted (for obvious reasons) and I have to say that, in view of their content, I stand by my original description of you as being 'intellectually-castrated' - i.e. although you will vehemently deny it, you have nonetheless been subjected, without your fully-informed consent, to co-ordinated devious techniques of social and psychological persuasion designed to shut-down your critical and evaluative faculties.
The result is that, although you will again vehemently deny it, you are nonetheless currently dependent on the collective 'Lyoness' delusion of moral and intellectual supremacy which has become fundamental to the maintenance of your individual self-esteem/identity and related psychological function.
Classically, although you try to laugh at others, it has become impossible for you to see humour in your own situation or to empathise with free-thinking, and well-informed, persons like me, whose critical and evaluative faculties are fully-functioning, and who challenge the authenticity of the unoriginal 'Lyoness income opportunity' fairy story.
Unfortunately, although you have taken great offense at my description of you as deluded, I stand by it, because it is entirely accurate, and your reaction is demonstrative of how 'Income Opportunity' rackets function - i.e. once deceived, the inflated-egos of well-educated persons such as yourself, will not allow them to face the truth that they have fallen for a game of make-believe and that, in turn, they have unconsciously deceived their friends and relatives.
Your current belief that the CEOs, attorneys, accountants, advisors, etc., of numerous, major, international corporations, Apple, Dell, Sony, Phillips, etc., have all investigated the 'Lyoness income opportunity' and given it their approval, is childish drivel which can be easily tested, just by giving all these companies a call.
