You have to understand that people have got ripped off by these
companies in utah and everyone would like to have their money back. How can they forget about it and go on when people are going in debt and some people are going bankrupt. I have read alot of sad stories and I have talked by email to some of these people and there is alot of sad stories about people getting ripped off by the Utah Scams. People can not go on with their lives when they have lost thousands of dollars and still have not got a business going. These companies make you think that you are really going to make money.They make you feel that it is your fault, but it's not your fault, these companies just want your money.I was looking for a way to make money online and I also got ripped off

Hi Still,
I made the mistake of affiliating myself with Thrive too. Yes, the costs keep rising, but where is the income they talked about? Funny, my tuition was over $6k -some folks paid more, some less - apparently 'tuition' is the maximum they can bleed out of you at the time. These people are slick. Get your money back and avoid them.
T -time-consuming
H -hassles
R -rip-off
I -internet scam
V - visa card maxed out
E - earnings never seen

Just an update. I did receive a call back from Thrive while I was in the grocery store. I told them I was not interested and recited the many reasons why. She asked if I checked their BBB rating, which she said was an "A" and I told her it was actually a "C". I told her of the many people who had been ripped off (and could check this forum for herself). She said she was going to check their BBB rating again and just wished me luck with whatever I decide to do and I haven't heard from them since.

Sorry Misled, I didn't want to make a scene in the grocery store so I kept it short and direct so they wouldn't call me again.

I'd like to mention that Thrive got my phone number when I was signing up for MOIS. A window came up before I could register for MOIS asking if I might be interested in one-on-one coaching and would I give permission for the call. I don't remember reading exactly who would be calling. I purchased MOIS through Clickbank, so I don't know if Kimberly Hoffman has any control over this, but if she does, I would hope she'd make changes concerning Thrive. I have since received a refund for MOIS, I decided it wasn't for me. I'll keep searching and learning.

I also signed the petition.

Good luck to all and God Bless.

Thanks,
Donna

Regarding the post by Bhavesh on July 8:

If the recent actions materialize and Thrive and/or its marketing companies are required to adhere to the Business Opportunity Disclosure Act, Utah Code Title 13, Chapter 15, this is great news!

See for yourself, especially Sections 4-5

http://www.le.utah.gov/UtahCode/section.jsp?code=13-15

They can still do business, but people that really want to do it will be going into it INFORMED!

WOW, I haven't checked this thread in several weeks.

Looks like things are starting to turn against Thrive!

There are some people on here doing really well at putting the boots to Thrive.

You should all be proud of your efforts and realize, if you can stop these companies who have been scamming people for years, you can also build a sucessful business on the internet!

Oh, oh I see that a company was fined $300,000 because they had employees posting fake reviews of their sevices.

I wonder if that could apply to Thrive?

WOW !!!!!!
Thrive posted?
I agree with you on your comment critternurse. I would love to see what they have to say!
I posted my thoughts on the complaints board about their silence to date, considering a question that begs answering by many of their victims is, how do they sleep at night?
They have never posted anywhere to my knowledge except on rippoff report.....which is a scam in itself. They are bed partners as far as I can see.
I am dying to hear what they have to say.
Was their post on here not approved?

When I post a message, I can "Edit" but I can't delete. From what I remember, one has to "confirm" via email when first posting/signing up. Maybe they did not "confirm" and so were deleted?

I saw the "pending" post by someone who had just joined, and had a link to the Thrive website in their post.

That is why I posted this.

I believe they had Thrive in their name.

I checked their member profile, but there wasn't anything there.
