WakeUpNow management stated:
“Though the Company’s current financial condition may cast doubt on its ability to continue as a going concern, management believes that its plan of operation, if successfully implemented, will generate sufficient earnings to both restore a stable financial condition and provide adequate returns to its shareholders”.
Postive factors:
“Management believes that its efforts to develop a robust product offering with a compelling value proposition will continue to attract distributors both in the United States and abroad”.
As risk factors WakeUpNow mention:
“State governments could attempt to tax our distributors as employees which would be devastating or fatal to our business.”
For instance, a staff member from the Utah State Tax Commission, has threatened to attempt to classify our distributors as employees and classify us as an employer of our distributors on the theory that our distributors are eligible for bonuses based on exceeding certain sales revenue goals.

Lyoness Responds To Ponzi Allegations In Australia
by Ted Nuyten • • 0 Comments
Lyoness Australia has issued the next statement:
“Lyoness rejects allegations raised by the ACCC, and will vigorously defend the proceedings commenced by the Commission on 28 August.
Lyoness is a shopping community, customer loyalty program and network marketing business.
Benefits are exclusively generated by shopping activities within the Lyoness community. Members receive benefits when they shop, whether they introduce other members or not.

Over four million members take advantage of the Lyoness benefits at over 40,000 loyalty merchants around the world. In Australia, there are now 780 Lyoness loyalty merchants, including many small and medium sized enterprises.

Hedi Khezrzadeh – Lessons From ALS Ice Bucket Challenge For Network Marketers
by Tina Williams • • 0 Comments
Hedi Khezrzadeh from the Middle east is Medical Doctor, Top Earner and Trainer in Network Marketing, is followed by 8,000+ Facebook fans, and shares the lessons that can be learned from the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge for Network Marketers.
Hedi:
It worked because it’s “Referral” marketing, because you ask people who you have influenced to donate or to dump a bucket of ice water on their head.
Seth Godin says, “The ideas that spread, win”. ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis) is not the leading cause of death in the world, it’s responsible for 2 out of 100,000 deaths every year and as many as 30,000 Americans have the disease at any given time. Malaria has been responsible for an estimated 627,000 deaths in 2012 and 207 million affected cases. Bill Gates has been advocating the awareness for Malaria for many years and has many videos, but the #ICEBUCKETCHALLENGE has been more effective because the way the information is being spread has been remarkable. Now people deal with an average priority illness as urgent because the way we have been spreading the idea has been nothing short of remarkable.
People want to be seen, they want to LEAD, they want to take part in a movement, they want to be different, that is why a lot of people try to

Australia Sues Lyoness With Pyramid Allegations
by Ted Nuyten • • 0 Comments
The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) has instituted proceedings against Lyoness International AG, Lyoness Asia Limited, Lyoness UK Limited and Lyoness Australia Pty Limited (together ‘Lyoness’) for operating a pyramid selling scheme and engaging in referral selling.
Although Lyoness has been investigated by regulators for conduct in other countries, this is the first court action taken against Lyoness alleging that the Lyoness Loyalty Program constitutes a pyramid scheme.
Pyramid schemes involve new participants providing a financial or other benefit to other existing participants in the scheme. New participants are induced to join substantially by the prospect that they will be entitled to benefits relating to the recruitment of further new participants. Pyramid schemes may also offer products or services, but making money out of recruitment is their main aim, and often the only way for a member to recover any money is to convince other people to join up. In contrast, people in legitimate multi-level marketing schemes earn money by selling genuine products to consumers, not from the recruiting process.
The ACCC alleges that Lyoness has operated the scheme in Australia from mid-2011 and that it continues to operate the scheme. The scheme offers ‘cash back’ rebates to members who shop through
