I really wish I knew what was wrong with a lot of these people's thinking about business. All this time and energy could be put toward building something real and lasting. The failure in Turkey has been public for going on two years or more. How anyone could rush in with that, the fake awards, the fake magazine article, and the history of the founders is nothing short of a mystery for the ages.
Recruiting commission and that siren song of "residual income" is just too much for many to resist.

re: FlexKom aka Flexcom aka Weeconomy - legitimate MLM or scam ??
Flexkom America had an meeting in Las Vegas this weekend. Here is a picture of it. It is obvious that by now only the cream of the crop is left. Look at those faces! You can see the naivity even from this distance!

If Bill is getting paid a salary to bring in new investors, that should be made public in each presentation.
They had their kickoff meeting in Las Vegas in August of 2013 and hundreds attended. 14 months later - they are left with a few dozen people
who obviously didn't "get the memo"

I think they may have more than a little trouble if they attempt to use that name in the US

Sounds like Bill Resides and Flexkom America are in CYA and "We didn't know this was a scam" mode.
SO NOW MANY MONTHS LATER AND AFTER THEY HAVE ENCOURAGED FOLKS TO GIVE FLEXKOM MONEY, they are asking that all recruitment be stopped, calling for an audit, checking the technology, and asking for refunds from the Flexkom Intl. con artist CEOs.
Are these Americans the dumbest "successful" business men we've ever seen or, are they your typical network marketing con men?

re: FlexKom aka Flexcom aka Weeconomy - legitimate MLM or scam ??
Vetting process!!! Why now? It is interesting to hear Bill Resides talking about how much he believes in the Flexkom business concept. At minute 16:30 Bill tells everyone he is "on hold" until further notice. What? Anyone could have found this site -- which pretty much spelled out the problems with the Flexkom Model, leadership past failures, concept, etc -- with a simple Google search. I agree with Char about Bill being in CYA mode.
They mention the technology. What technology? Who even cares? Today, it comes down to volume and the Law of Large Numbers. In order for the Flexkom concept to work, they would need millions of active members. Flexkom will never have enough customers to compete with Google, Apple, Amazon etc in this space. It is a joke to even consider they can.
This is NOT going to end well for some of these folks, IMO.
Flexkom USA is like a tree where the roots have died but the leaves don't know it yet. It is over!
Flexkom Int'l is never going to honor these refund requests, IMO.
I would not be surprised to learn that some of the old leadership have already been in contact with the US regulators
to cut a deal with them and reduce their own liability.
The only question that remains is whose heads are going to roll when the regulators do their thing.

BOMBSHELL. Bill Resides resigns, last blog talk radio today, calling for FBI investigation etc..
Maybe the next time they'll take realscam seriously well, that's for all the people who aren't in CYA mode.
Toodaloo Fexkom America.

Flexkom Newsletter October
http://media.flexkom.com/_stuff/1414...r_eng_1014.pdf
Pages 4 and 5 are especially entertaining. And page 7, surprise surprise, they are going to offer shares.
Hopefully some of you American folks have had an epiphany. Now please look at the current newsletter and see how ridiculous it reads and how its all bull$hit. Do you get it now?
Are you reading this post Jan Henry of Caffeine Addicts who refused to even listen about red flags and so rudely hung up on my friend? I do hope you didn't give Flexkom any of your money, or your friends' and family's money. I guess the caller really WAS trying to help you.

That is just great, now BaFin has the jurisdiction to investigate a share fraud.

Juicy, did they just say that the shares will be available to foreign residents (like U.S.) ?
Me and SEC are patiently waiting :)

Here is an incomplete list of Flexkom Team Members from their LinkedIn profiles. While it is possible that some of them are real victims of this scam and that should be considered before judging, IMO I would question the ones who have been involved with other NWM "opportunities". Time to start calling out the repeat offenders i.e. scammers.

While I have no proof as to whether or not this snapshot of Ian Driscolls' back office is genuine, but it goes a long way toward exposing the pyramid scheme aspect of the Flexkon business.
All the money is made from recruitment and none from sales = a perfect pyramid scheme

Out of curiosity, was there actually a real Flexkom Payoneer MasterCard other than a photo of it? Or, were the pictures of the card in the newsletters photoshopped?
