Total Life Changes encourages its operators to dream big. Even by our high standards, Christian Camilo Prada’s vision is grand: “My goal is ‘Latin conquest,’” he says, joking only slightly. “I want to help 1,000 Latin families get where I am now.”
Where Christian is now is earning an estimated $10,000 – $20,000 USD per month as a TLC .
But his life was once very different. Born and raised in Bucaramanga, Colombia, where he still resides, Christian has had an amazing journey with TLC.
“When I was introduced to Total Life Changes in 2015, I was working as a fruit harvester in the city of Caravaca de la Cruz, Spain,” Christian recalls. “All of my income went towards supporting my little family back in Colombia.”
Christian had experimented with network marketing before, where he’d befriended Ana Cantera (now a Global Marketing Director with TLC), but had found little personal success. Ana hadn’t yet enrolled in TLC herself when she presented him with the opportunity to join her.
Having been impressed with her past achievements, and trusting his friend, Christian waited the few days for Ana to formally join so that he could come aboard as part of her team at TLC. At the time,

Market America Sued For Fraud And Pyramid Allegations

by Ted Nuyten • June 5, 2017 • 0 Comments

According to an article in Court House news:
Two distributors for Market America claim the company’s $7.3 billion valuation comes from millions of people who have lost money after enrolling in the pyramid scheme, including Chinese-Americans whom the company targets to sell products to relatives in Asia.
Chaunjie Yang and Ollie Lan sued Market America and its founders James Howard Ridinger, Loren Ridinger, and president and COO Marc Ashley in a federal class action on Tuesday.
The racketeering lawsuit says that while the executives tell distributors they can earn more than $560,000, only those at the top make that kind of money.
Ninety percent of sellers do not receive a penny, according to the lawsuit.
“According to Market America, the only way to fail under Market America’s business model is to quit. Meanwhile, Market America and its confederate conspirators now assert a business valuation of $7.3 billion that they have made off the backs of millions of people in their pyramid,”
the class claims in the lawsuit.
Yang says he handed over $35,000 to Market America and eventually lost money in the venture. He says in the lawsuit that people enrolling in the scheme have to pay a $399 startup fee and $129 a month.
