Why Monavie is a scam ??

There are thousands of Ponzi schemes out there!! A Ponzi scheme is a fraudulent investment operation that pays returns to its investors from their own money or the money paid by subsequent investors, rather than from profit earned by the individual or organization running the operation. Is Monavie another PONZI Scheme ?

Allegation No. 1: Mona vie is just like any other juice and there are no special benefits from drinking it!.

I have personally met people who take the Monavie Acai berry juice from many days. They couldnt find any special benefit of the Monavie Juice. They couldn't find any change in health issues or blood pressure. No change in chloesterol levels, no change in my joint issues, no change in pain levels, no change in energy levels or anything else.

Allegation No. 2 : Monavie juice is very expensive berry juice and basically empty calories and a sugar rush. All the positive comments which Monavie and the leaders propagates are based on anecdotal evidence and their claims are not supported by independent researchers and independent empirical data. It better to save your money and buy grape juice and you will get the same benefits that you would get from mona vie (lots of calories, natural sugars, carbohydrates, etc.).

Truth No. 1: An analysis conducted by contract laboratory Chromadex indicated that MonaVie contained low levels of the antioxidant vitamin, vitamin C, and phytochemicals such as anthocyanins and phenolics associated with antioxidant activity in vitro.

In 2008, Forbes magazine reporters Emily Lambert and Klaus Kneale noted:

“TEAM is one step ahead of all these juice selling schemes. It is a pyramid atop a pyramid. It is selling motivational aids to help MonaVie vendors move the juice. But wait. If you can't earn back the $258 you've spent on the motivational lectures by selling $39 juice bottles, you could earn it back in another way—getting people to buy $258 motivational lectures. If you're good, you flog the lectures to other people, who sell them to yet others. Everybody gets rich. Everybody, that is, except the last round of buyers. That's the theory, anyway. The reality is that a mere 1% of Team members make any money from involvement with the firm

Monavie India facts

For us to unearth the whole truth about the MonaVie scam, that is if it exists, we ought to start by closely scrutinizing the company. The first question that we must answer is whether this company is legit, and if it is, then what secrets could there be in its compensation plan?. Surely Monavie has made Some leaders like Mr. Sajeev Nair, Mr M Shamsudeen, Mr. Abhilash Thomas, Mr. Prem Kumar from Amway, RMP Infotec etc to shift and join Monavie India. This has been a shock for many people. All these leaders use to say that joining other companies are like Prostitution, but what they have done now ??

MonaVie is a company that was established in 2005 in Salt Lake City, Utah, USA. It produces and markets a range of health drinks made from a mixture of extracts of more than 19 fruits. One of the fruits that the company claims to use is the Acai fruit, which has recently generated a lot of controversy about its benefits. This is actually seen as one reason why there are so many MonaVie scam stories. Monavie has nicely made a Good story to convince people and make them fall for Monavie.

Away from facts and myths about Acai fruit, the company indeed physically exists and manufactures its own products. It has survived in the last 6 years, and in fact, grown tremendously to cover virtually the entire world. This is a good sign of a legit company in which could be a real opportunity to earn money.
When it comes to the company’s compensation plan, things seem to be pretty simple. You only need to buy into the opportunity and get paid commissions for direct selling the company’s products and for recruiting others into the opportunity. If you are good at what you do, you also qualify for a range of bonuses. With that information, everything seems straight forward and one can easily overlook MonaVie scam allegations.

The problem starts when it comes to real marketing. To start with, a bottle of MonaVie Juice can cost as much as Rs 1600. That is surely costly and it would take an expert to convince a customer that the product is worth the price. Secondly, to make a success in any MLM, you need a great deal of training, which lacks when you join the company. The fact is, MonaVie is not a scam but one needs to do a lot to be successful in it.

monavie income scam fake certificate

Look who is talking about the top earners of Monavie. Mr. Shamsudeen has proved he can do photo editing also, he has compiled a new image with top earners of mlm in the world. Clearly showing only the monavie people in it. It is sad that, Monavie company has not revealed the income of most of his top earners from the last 3 years and how come Mr. Shamsudeen got his news ?. Amway also doesnot reveal their income. But Mr. M Shamsudeen got a dream about the income of some Amway leaders.. How ??

Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely!!

A company which has not revealed the income of any of their distributors has been promoted by their distributors with a Fake News!!.. Can any one from the Monavie company substantiate this news ??. Or can we find the same in any of the legal websites ?.. This is fake news and photoshop photo made by some one in Monavie to spread this false news.

Mr. Shamsudeen's new email id can be found in this image. He think that people will be ready to leave their honesty and integrity seeing this fake photo editted image.. ha ha!. It is shame for a person like shamsudeen to come up with something like this and promote to lot of people who still believe in him. Surprisingly in the official Monavie website or anywhere else there is no mentioning of this.

There are no leaders from the top most networking companies like Agel, Herbalife, Quest etc here. Now photo editing softwares can do anything.

Monavie Juice is Over priced

MonaVie is as claimed by the company management all natural fruit drink, with Acai berries and other 19 other exotic fruits in its ingredients. 

There are many health benefits Mona Vie claim including
a. improvements in bowels
b. Enhanced energy levels that last for hours
c. Better memory and less dozing off at the office and 
d.  Better sleep after using this product.

Some of the key facts, and it is upto you to recognise this,

a. $40 to $45 for a bottle, this will last only for a week Maximum

b. Every month purchase of around $175 a month for one juice packet containing 4 juice bottles

Let me ask a simple question to all, if this product has so much unique qualities as it is claiming why don't people outside MLM request for getting the same ?. Or is it because in the multi-level marketing structure any high priced product can be easily moved through the network ?. No scientific facts have till now confirmed the real benefits. No Indian government laboratories have confirmed the EXTRA BENEFIT of Monavie juice compared to just our plain Cashew fruit juice or Grape juice.

Lazy Man has conduced huge research about Monavie and the scam. Lazy man has also exposed one of the biggest fraud in the MLM industry by doing great research
