All it takes is a simple Google search to reveal that the Vemma scam is the only possible truth. Words like pyramid scheme, ponzi, and illegal operations are often used to describe the Arizona-based health company. Since hundreds, if not thousands of people are calling it a scam, then it must be, right?

Vemma is often criticized for their overall marketing strategy. All big companies have a marketing strategy. Red Bull shells out close to $1 Billion a year on commercials and various advertisements to get YOU to buy their product. What is the difference between Vemma and Red Bull? The main difference: Vemma is willing to pay people to sell their product. So, since the average person can get paid to tell others about Vemma/Verve, Vemma MUST BE a Ponzi scheme. Sounds like plain ignorance to me!

The Vemma Scam: What Is A Pyramid Scheme?

Let’s define a Pyramid Scheme so there are no misconceptions or wrong definitions thrown around. A pyramid scheme is an unsustainable business model that requires new members to recruit more new members in order to get paid. Generally, the money and recruiting is pushed more than the products and eventually the well of potential recruits runs dry. When this happens, people start to leave from the bottom up and the entire business model unravels.

The chart below depicts the real differences between a legal network marketing company, and an illegal pyramid scheme.

Multi-Level Marketing	Pyramid Scheme
The majority of commissions are paid when a product or service is sold.	The majority of commissions are paid when new members are recruited.
Members are given real, marketable products or services that they can actually sell.	Members are sometimes subject to “inventory loading,” where they are forced to buy more products than they could ever sell, sometimes at inflated prices.  Other times, there is no product or service to sell at all.
Low start-up costs.	High start-up costs.
Legitimate.	Illegal.

Vemma is often called a pyramid scheme because they pay affiliates to sell the products for them. What the skeptics and haters are not seeing (or not being told), is that about 70% of the people that pay Vemma are straight-up customers of the product, NOT AFFILIATES!

This is HUGE because it debunks the myths and lies that Vemma places more importance on recruiting than selling. It also proves that Vemma is NOT a pyramid scheme.

Another important fact that one must consider, is that Vemma affiliates are never paid when they recruit anyone. They are only paid when a sale is made. Signing up as an affiliate is FREE and not products must be purchased in order to get paid. These facts are often overlooked by skeptics as most just focus on the affiliate structure of Vemma.

The facts about Vemma are numerous and overwhelmingly positive; but still, I’m sure most will discount them all as misdirection so the masses will continue to assume the Vemma Scam is real. Critics will always be paranoid and try to discredit B. K. Boreyko’s (Vemma owner) motives. After meeting B.K. in person, I have to say I have never met anyone that is more personable and caring. There is a reason the company has partnered with the Children’s Miracle Network and encourages affiliates to donate to the charity: B.K. cares about children and about people!
