Thinking I could help out my parents and make some commission of my own, I fell into this trap of ACN where a "friend" recruited me. I drive to Orange county thinking it was going to be a formal interview and all for the job. Turned out to be one big meeting with a notepad and a video with Donald Trump. Being a business student I thought this would be a great opportunity, especially with Trump being a bit of inspiration. After the movie they ask you a question if you are skeptical or not, pretty much. But the friend reassures you that everything is great that they are planning on getting a beamer in the next 3 months. They pushed and pushed me. Asked for a one time fee of 499 dollars. Everything was just a blur. On top of the 500 bux, the rep signed me up with 2 accounts, one supposedly for a demo the other being for my personal use. Making that completely expensive, they said it would be 25 bucks a month. No. Turns out I was charged 43 for both accounts. ON top of my two accounts, I signed up for my landline in which they said would be 25 dollars per month as well. I filled out a form, and knew that the landline was in honor of my stepfather. I told them I had to go to work, that I filled out most of it but got freaked out by the signature. I didn't sign it, I told them I'll be back tomorrow and left. While they are sitting there questioning me why i have to go to work in which this will only take another 5 minutes on top of 3 hours I had already spent there. On my drive back to LA it dawned on me that I need to cancel.
As soon as I got home I immediately called ACN and asked to delete my representative account. I was able to get my 499 back. With my "friend" calling me every day to make a meeting to sign and all that jazz. Thinking everything was over. IT wasn't And to this day still isn't. (It's been 3 months). At the end of that month, I was charged for both of my accounts 43 each and of the VOIP boxes total of 80 for the voip boxes. In which they said would be 10 dollars each. My stepfather also received a bill himself, and I thought how was that possible I never signed the application and never went back. My mother calls the company to cancel the landline account saying that none of us ever authorized it. But they said they had a "voice recording" of me when I was cancelling my account on the phone. They threatened to take me into court for forgery. We asked for them to fax the application and it was signed. I think out of all people I would know how to forge my own parents names (especially for those old high school absent notes) but this signature was not anything close to what his signature really looks like proved that someone forged his signature and processed it. I threatened the company back that I told them not to process the app and that I never signed, but since all the print was in my writing they said I had no proof and was still forgery.
The company called my cell phone saying that I must call them so that they could further with the lawsuit. I heard the message and thought F**K them I don't have to call back or listen to them. They never called me back after the message. (thank goodness)
Thinking that my mother successfully cancelled the landline, I receive the ACN bill that my stepfather handed to me for 93 dollars for a course of 3 months, yesterday. I'm not sure if he paid the first bill. Anyways, I just now paid for the bill, and I'm really skeptical in calling the company for cancelling the account after they threatened me for a lawsuit. But my parents insist that I take care of everything. It's just so horrible. But for revenge, I suppose not really must justice was received, ACN demanded for their VOIP boxes back from me and offered a refund. I just sold them on EBAY, i got half of what i paid but ACN won't get their products back from me. ACN will fool you and take you down with them. Please don't get involved.
Alright, I would like to say that to the Anonymous person telling me that I will never make it in life. Don't ever say that to a person. I am pretty sure that I am way younger than you. In fact I'm 21 years old and a branch manager at a consulting firm. Apparently, I never needed ACN. To those who are thinking of going on board of ACN, DON'T, you DO NOT NEED ACN. Besides, when have you ever heard about ACN's services, besides the times when some ### like Ken Powell pops out of the bushes 'selling/scamming' to you their services?
Ken Powell, you are just an ###, I'm glad to see that you are doing well with ACN but at the same time, you sound like you are really frustrated and butt-hurt about your company. All of the sales representatives who have opposed against this posting sounds recognizably incompetent. With your rudeness and taunts, don't treat people like that. People don't deserve to be treated poorly and, ultimately, they don't deserve to be ripped off.
Following up after 2 years from this posting, I would like to say I never heard back from ACN, for those of you who are curious. Thanks to those of you who listened, I wish you all the best.
Cheers!
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.

I was almost recruited yesterday by an acn rep. Anyways when my husband didn't agree with it I e mailed this person and explained I couldn't do it. She replied with a nasty e mail basically saying we are stupid when it comes to business etc... I saved this e mail. Just the kind of business I would want to be in. NOT.
Ken Powell is obviously an ###

Every one of these complainers are losers. ACN
is a business not a welfare handout to mediocre
people. Not everyone should be in business for themselves
but destined to be a drone giving 1/3 to 1/4 of your income
to taxes. These individuals could never be successful in
any business based on their attitude and lack of commitment.
A sales person is not necessarily a successful
entrepreneur.
You all are amazing!
This is a hilarious thread.100% of the supporters of ACN here are no longer in business. Great business, a few years later and all your success stories are closed. Just FYI: You can do EXACTLY the same "business" as ACN claims to be providing you with for a grand total of... $0! It's called affiliate marketing and 100% of the companies that ACN claims to represent or do business through have affiliate programs, plus you can rep about a million other companies. ACN absolutely makes the overwhelming majority from their "reps" fees and costs and the services and products that they themselves buy. There are plenty of reports online that show the reverse engineering of their VERY SECRETIVE financials set against the rep numbers. $500 here, $150 renewal fee, $25 per month coaching, $25 per month website, X% processing fees, $150 "training, " $X "marketing materials" and the list goes on. The ridiculous company line about "why would trump be an endorser if he didn't love ACN" is probably the worst non-airtight set of circular logic in the last 10 years in MLM. Trump is greedy. That is the answer. All the rest of your defenses against him not just being a paid schlub for the product can be literally applied to EVERYTHING HE NOW DOES. He wants money, then he wants more money. If he sees an easy way to do it, he will. You don't get and stay rich by passing up easy money. You can ask these same questions about every celebrity endorser and come up with the idiotic conclusion that they do it because they love it. All the "magazine" articles they have published are paid ads as well. This is a not so secret in PR. No one cares about a company that provides no products, no cost savings, no advantages but only makes money from their "employees'' pockets. I have on more than several occasions challenged reps to produce any evidence that they have made the money they brag about, their first response is about that being their private business even though they just spent 10 minutes talking about it. Then I pull out a .pdf of my 1099's and W2's and shove them in their face and say I've shown you mine, now it's your turn. Their next move is to say that anyone can fake a document. My reply is fine, show me your faked tax returns and faked 1099's from ACN, I'll be satisfied with that. I went so far with as to pull $500 out of my wallet and put it on the table and say that is 100% yours if you can produce those documents in 12 hours. It's taxes. Everyone should have immediate access to their tax returns, especially a "business owner." Guess what. Not a single one has produced, not a single one has taken that $500 out of my pocket. Life lesson: Everyone is greedy and the worst of us will lie cheat and steal, stepping on the backs of our fellow humans to get ours and ACN plays this card very well. Buyer beware.
Thank you so much for this!
I am watching a dear acquaintance of mine get duped by ACN. She thinks she is going to be wealthy, but I can't ever see it happening. It's one multi-level marketing company after another with her. I dabbled in a few MLMs back in the 80s, and nothing has changed. The upper levels are extremely good at energizing you and making you believe you will be rich some day. It's almost like being in a cult. No thank you.
Acn can suck off they are so ghetto and lame f. K ACN!
Hmmm...guilting. bullying and pressuring people in to signing up for electrical services all because the rep "needs one more" client.?! "Thanks so much for doing this for me and the 17 million hungry children here in USA." When I respectfully declined to sign up for electrical services, I was told that "I just do not get it". And it was inferred that by not doing so this person may not refer me business anymore when I was referred to them and I successfully sold their home for them with them giving me a great testimonial for my hard work! What kind of honest network marketing is that? Sign up for my product or I will never refer you again even though you are good at what you do and treated me honestly and fairly?! Wow. Buyer beware. These reps are taught some real tough bullying techniques and I am sure it works on the weak and/or uneducated. They are making money for all of their up levels all while be promised riches beyond their wildest dreams. Feels like cult mentality to me. Sending them all love and light.

I was scammed by ACN! The Girl talked me into it, when I tried to get out she kept asking me for my Friends and contacts! Yeah Right! Im loyal to my Friends F**K ACN! They kept charging my Amex card! WTH? People! Just remember 1 thing! If a company wants you to work for them! You should not have to give them money! Its just a Legal? SCAM!
Whoever doesn't make money in this is merely a reflection of their own work ethic.
It seems like it's more of a reflection of their ethics period.
I'm with a successful multi marketing company and I've been active for four and one half years. My gross income last year was $431, 000.00. After taxes and business expenses net income was $307, 000.00. My wife loves me even more than before and she just loves her new Mercedes Sportster. She also loved the little chartered flight we took to Hawaii last month. The weather was just great! She's in the process of deciding which new house she likes the most. Just thought all the negative people should know.
Dear beloved people.
Today I cancelled the service they after 5 years with them. 1. The charge extra with out notification and increase the cost without your say. 2. The cancell all the feature for the phone.3. It keep discounted all the time for days. 4 very very slow. 5. To transfer your number back paid 14.99 is a fee to a contract, I do not have contract. It is the way to get money. 6. The internet you have physically call them.7. If you paid the bill and cancell then your money gone because the billing circle 22 and cancel on the 6 your money there's. if you understand that is the top stealing. And the customer service rude. Anyone want to go to this company watch out is not worth it.
I've been with ACN for two years and I make money. It's none of anyone's business as to how much I make & it's against the law for me to tell you how much I make, but rest assured, ACN is a great additional stream of income for my family. I get so tired of people complaining about this company when they don't do the work. Why do people think they are going to make any money at all if they don't do the work? Building residual income takes time and effort, it doesn't magically fall into your lap. ACN is not a get rich quick scheme. Do your homework and properly educate yourselves. Google is not a research engine, anyone can write anything they want on the internet and it doesn't mean it's true. The company and the products are the same for all of us, but do vary from country to country. So answer this - "Why are some making 6 & 7 figures and others make nothing?" We all paid the same $499. The difference in the equation is YOU. So please get over yourselves saying ACN is a scam or a pyramid. If you knew anything about pyramid schemes you would know that they only involve money. Educate yourself. Also, think about this...isn't every corporation and government structured like a pyramid? ACN has changed my family's life and continues to do so because I do the work it takes to be successful. Don't believe what you read...why would 25 countries open their doors to them to do business? The answer is because each government entity did the proper research of this wonderful company. I'm sorry to those of you who lost out on an outstanding opportunity because you believe the negative junk the world and google fills your head with. I would be happy to work with anyone of you because it is my job to make sure you are successful. Oh, and by the way...a sponsor makes NO money when someone joins our company. The $499 is used to build your storefront, customer service, billing, etc. The only things I am responsible to do are acquire customers and build a successful team. Notice I said successful...I can't help those who aren't coachable or those who don't want to put in the time and effort.
Thank you. There is no end to those yahoos that think by signing up they will make money but not have to work for it. The YOU is the indispensable key to success. What you DO is the key.
I was using home Internet and home phone service provided by ACN, recommended by a friend who's a ACN rep.
I was paying $ 70+ for 3Mbits internet speed and home phone service, not to mention that internet often got disconnected and extremely slow during peak hours, and it was in a 2-year contract. At the end of the contract period, I got deal for 55Mbits for $29.99 per month with Comcast, with no contract!
When I complained the Internet speed to ACN sales rep, first thing they said was "you can cancel the contract by paying $30", and the next sentence was "Will that be all for today then?". I was shocked that they didn't even mention about their service, and all they care is to charge money for whatever they can charge for. For all the sales rep, please don't sell this garbage to your friends! For all the people who are considering using ACN service, please think twice! do you really want to get service from companies that don't care about the service they provide, and all they care is charging you unreasonable price! As far as I know now, all the service "provided" by ACN is actually companies we can purchase plans directly, like AT&T. ACN is directly using AT&T's service, just charging you as the third party. They got rip off like I did before!
All the services acn provide is wayyy expensive then any of the other competitor in the market.. From energy to phone contracts and everything in between.
Stay away from these demonic bunch
