Robocalls with spoofed local numbers

I received a robocall on my business phone (on the do not call list), and while I was answering, my cell phone (on the do not call list) rang with the same number. When I answered, there is no one there.

When I try to call the number back, it does not connect. So I called corporate office in Rochester. They claim they do not make spam calls, and have no rep in my area that would have that number.

They say their only reps are in Rochester. On both my cell phone and my business phone, the caller ID read: "5linx 916-476-****"

It is possible that the caller ID shows 5linx because the person/business calling has 5linx phone service and they are not actually a representative of the company.

I also just got a missed call from this #. I don't pick up for phone #'s I don't recognize and I'm at work.

They didn't leave a message so I figured it wasn't important. I do google #'s to see who it is.

U approve company because ur a part of the scam. If a company doesn't give u full disclosure it's fraud involved.

N I'm sure u quit ur job n are currently looking for another because sales always boom in the beginning when u have signed up and/or targeted all ur friends n family but once they've all been signed n see this company n service is bad, U Will lose them. No one likes to be cheated or taken advantage of. If it's such a good company why so many complaints. I have done direct sales before n it wasn't like this.

Ponzi, scam, fraud, deceptive all words that describe this wayward company. N the kicker is they use God n the word" blessing" as a way to trap ppl in.

No good at all. Patresia

Its the CAPS that sold me...that 5LINX is filled with no-so bright sheeple.

Since you worked in direct marketing so you know that your target is not to get your friends and family.It's the staingers you aim for and that's something never runs out.

And about the product and customer care,i once worked for Verizon and to be honest they suck at priceing and customer care but that doesn't mean I'm not going to sell Verizon or that's a scam.In order to do business you have to have that kind of mentality orelse it's better you stick to your 9-5 job and I believe the people you were referring as complainers,are just like you 9-5 people.

5linx - Mlm Business Review from Miami, Florida

Has anyone noticed that 5 Linux or any MLM company always targets the minority, hispanics, african american & the lower middle class. Go to the meetings; look around!

The founders are always Rich & wealthy white guys. Remember if you have a product that is GREAT as they say it would sell themselves. They actually don't want you to sell the products they want you to recruit people. At $249 initial start up costs and $49.95 per month I would want you to recruit people as well.

ALL of their products have a catch; either direct withdrawal from your checking account or a monthly service fee. The only difference that 5linx states is that it's your business and you MUST invest in your business! Very well said! Always check your "upline" look at how many people in their group/team is making real money.

Forget about their checks of $30,000-$45,000 a month! When is enough enough ask them to help you make $8,000 a month. You believed them an joined their group tell them to believe in you and allow me to make $5,000 a month! THEY WON'T DO IT!!!

Ask them to give you a leg!

THEY WON'T DO IT! They'll just say "It's about POSITIONING YOURSELF!" Nice great ANSWER!

As far as minorities, I was a rep and actually white people were the minorities in being successful in this business.

It is possible to be successful in this business, but you have to work at it.

I got out because I placed my focus elsewhere and was not able to do both. I wouldn't hesitate to do it again if I would truly devote my time to it. Yes the monthly pay/withdrawal I didn't like, but you have to pay the bill anyway so it just saves you the extra step. It's unfortunate that some of the upline seems to not be so helpful to their new recruits.

They are not all that way and as a rep you have a cs number that you can call for questions. I have been to the big training event, they teach you about the products. It is up to each rep on how they want to focus their business, but your pay won't increase as much without a downline. It doesn't matter how many people are in your downline, if you don't sell the services, you won't make any money.

Any business is the same way...

Without a service to sell, you have nothing and without sales people you can't sell the service... Only difference is- you have to sell the service, not wait by the phone for someone to call for the service

Look at what this guy typed: "Yes the monthly pay/withdrawal I didn't like, but you have to pay the bill anyway so it just saves you the extra step". This person is totally Brainwashed with 5LINX rhetoric.

Guest

Very misinformed, bitter representative who posted the original post. As a white female married to a black male, we are already financially stable in the top 1% of the US in terms of income as a result of of education and full-time employment.

Many of the SVPs in the company are black or immigrants because what I have found after working the business for a year is that there are a lot of lazy Americans who do not view America as the land of opportunity and are unwilling to invest in themselves or their future (sounds like you possibly). They would rather go to work for someone else and not take a chance at a better life which does involve both an investment of time and finances.

When I go to the meetings, I see a room of many ethnicities (predominantly not white or hispanic); however, instead of viewing this as a downfall to the organization, I view it as an OPPORTUNITY for ME to share with the whites and hispanics. After all, wouldn't you agree that most people stick to their cultures? Thankfully, the person who showed me the business did NOT pre-judge me bc I was white and she was a Nigerian immigrant.

The products 5linx offers can offer full-time income BY SALES production alone..

Not just by building a team and earning over ride commissions. You obviously did not take the time to learn the compensation plan. Several of our top products including TEXT MARKETING which enables you to earn nearly $50,000/year just in product commissions alone by selling 2 a week. Our merchant payment solutions product also pays a considerable UP FRONT bonus which has absolutely NO regard to your position in the company.

Additionally, selling a home security system monitoring package can earn you $300-$600/up front bonus. In order to sell these products, it is essential to have a website and some of the services yourself so you can speak to the validity of the products.

As for my household, we have the security monitoring and several other products... So if you did not take time to review the comp plan or to review the products, that is no ones fault but your own. There is NO business you can operate in the US without investing somewhat, and I am sorry you sound like a person that doesn't have $50 a month to pay for your website.

We teach our team to switch their own products and services by using their website so they can make money off the things they are already buying such as DIRECTV, DISH, ATT or whatever it may be. hope this clarifies for any one reading.

The Kool Aid tastes good, doesn't it? 5Lynx is in the business of bringing people into the business.

I've been to the meetings, and they're nothing short of a cult that plays on the cords of making it big. I am not against MLM, but I am against the ones where the main focus in recruiting people.

I'll clarify the real message in this reply. First, its a obvious use of the reply feature to advertise to yet more uneducated folks to buy 5LINX products that nobody needs.

Nice try, but it doesn't change anything. 5LINX products are oversaturated in the market. Its a fact the only people making money are the *** artists selling the fees to join, and the products they are forcing those in the downline to buy.

False hype and hope mixed with the buyer lack of education on how this all really works. That's the 5LINX business model.

Guest

Your comments are a echo of all the 5linx BS that gets spewed around at the extravaganzas to jazz up the current suckers and draw in new ones. You say your earnings are in the top 1% but I challenge you to prove it- post a redacted copy of your latest tax return. The reality is you are a wanna be big shot looser.

Guest

Wow…..there are a ton of miss information in this post so I will attempt to address them one by one….first let’s talk about the statement you made about requiting only minorities and the owners being rich white guys. 5linx is a Network Marketing company, which means you Market to People in your Network.

If you are a minority, 9 times out of 10 most of the people you know are other minorities. The company does not target, it simply gives a person an opportunity to make additional income….Most of the people open to make additional money are the people who need it…..like minorities.

Secondly you stated that “they don’t want you go sell products….they want you to recruit people” The fact is that you cannot have a legal MLM without a product to offer. I personally have over a 100 personal customer points, but I have less than 50 actual people in my group.

Yes recruitment is a part of the business; this is how you leverage your time. Its always better to have 1% of a 100 peoples efforts than 100% of 1 persons efforts…that’s just basic business 101.

Thirdly you stated the “All of the products have a catch; either directly withdrawal or a monthly service fee”. What’s the issue with that? Your cell phone has a monthly service fee, your electric bill has a service fee, your home phone has a monthly service fee, your internet has a monthly service fee…..Nothing is Free.

The fact you can sign up for auto bill payment only makes things easier for the business owner….this way you don’t have to hire an accounting department to track down pay-a-bills…(pun-intended). And by the way you are already paying these bills…..and making no money when you pay them….with 5linx or any other MLM, which offer these services, you can now save money on your bills, and make money when you pay them. Just makes sense to me.

Now your last comment is very interesting, you state “Forget about their check of $30,000 - $45,000 a month! When (and I’m assuming you meant to say) it is tough enough to ask them to help you to make $8,000 a month”.

I understand your frustration. Most people attempt to get into MLM thinking it’s a Get Rich Quick way to make money and that’s simply not the case. I have been a part of this MLM for 4 years….and my first year I made just enough to cover my monthly expenses…..however now I have a very nice monthly income. It’s all about how hard you’re willing to work for yourself.

And I also feel your frustration with regards to up line help. However I believe very strongly that I’m my own up line. I’m the CEO therefore the responsibility is mine and mine alone. MLM just may not be for you.

It’s not for everyone; however anyone can be successful with this business module.

I wish you all luck and I hope you keep an open mind with regards to MLM businesses. James

In response to your rebuttal. First on Recruiting Only Minorities or "Focusing" on Minorities.

Your answer was very elementary and ignorant. MLM organizations do focus on minority group because they understand the psychological and financially historical culture of that group. Bottom line since the beginning of MLM; "NO" MLM organization has made a significant impact in the Minority Community (% wise) and while that may be due to the lack effort by some that is only the exception and not the RULE.

On your second point regarding not selling products rather recruiting people; you must have been to Colorado and smoked all the *** they sold you. Recruiting people........they are exploiting people.

Quick poll: How many MLM minorities are making 6 figure incomes in your state, your city, and in down line?

Probably not many........historical data supports my theory.

Finally, the auto draft issue. Yes you are correct that many people use auto draft for a variety of monthly obligations but most minorities do not have much disposable income and it is not because they do not take advantage of opopportunities like MLM.......it is due to a lack of RESOURCES!!!!!

FYI on me: I am an educated business owner with over 20 years of business experience.

Scam?

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Why do people think that it's a "get rich quick" thing. That is definitely what it isn't. The problem is not the company, I've seen first hand that it works. it's either the person showing you the information or you're just not doing the work. It's just that plain and simple. Yes it takes time just like every other company ever has, you can't just build a business like this overnight. A LOT of things have changed since it's now Jason, Jeb, and William running the whole thing. They're doing a great job and if people can't see that then it's their loss. Think about it like this....5linx is like college, anyone and everyone can join but it's not for everybody. Only the ones who will work their butts off to make a change in their life are the ones who will succeed.

I have been in 5Linx for 7 months. My good friend introduced me.

She made over $70,000 last year with this comapny, which she partnered with in Jan. 2015. She is already SVP and driving the FREE BMW!! She works hard to help me build my business because thats what we do!

I have 10 business partners on my team and thats all while working 50+ hrs a wk and taking care of my family. Since being in this business I have been able to start fixing my credit. Not sure what you were doing with your business, but if you plant the seeds you cant reap!!! We work hard at our JOBS to build someone elses dreams ....why not work even harder for your own dreams?

Maybe you should give it another look???

Well this anonymous poster from May 01 is right; one has to start in 5LINX by selling their products to all of your poorest family members who need to save every dollar they have. Hence why the company "executives" scope you out to ascertain your financial status first.

They know that since you're poor, your family probably isn't faring much better. They more or less profile "prospects" and then put the screws to them.

Guest

If there is a way them people are making money then there is a way for you to make money too. You just have to look for it. Just because you lost money doesn't make it the company's fault,it's nothing more then your failure because you just said they are making money so the system does work.

if you are sucessful and been there 10 years why bother with commenting and leaving links because people who have tried 5linx already know you looking to recruit too just like all the rest when the CBD market increases and it has in california where it only cost 40 bucks instead a 89.00 for tincture. People will wake up and buy it from the canibis store for cheaper.

or distrubute it from the clubs and sell is independently. all your reps will quit and your big income will become minisce and you will have to start all over again enjoy it now because after 2020 nothing is promised especially giving people money just to for a handfull of useless mess.

5LINX COMMISSION SCAM

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I attended one of 5Linx's information sessions and signed up. The opportunity was presented as being pretty lucrative.

Upon signing up and paying, I sold two services for them under the code I was provided which was Protect America which is a home alarm service and Direct TV cable service and just because I would not continue to pay for their website, my account was deactivated and I never received a commission payment for the services I implemented during my membership.

They made me feel like that it was all about paying them money. BE WARNED IF YOU CAN NOT PAY FOR THEIR WEBSITE DO NOT SIGN UP

The point is they were not willing to continue to pay a company for the oppurtunity to sell products that no one wants. Which is exactly why they lure you with bonuses.

I was taught a long time ago. If the buisness format is what they say it is then you would not need bonuses to boost buisness.

Deceptive Business Practices

Updated by user Mar 06, 2016

After contacting their Rep Support Department several times regarding getting a refund for the services I have cancelled I was told that unless I can provide them with a copy of their email response and talk to someone via phone at the same time they would not be able to help me. Their site only has a link for communicating with Rep Support and when you use this link they can and will delete your activity so that you do NOT have a record of their communication with you.

Original review Feb 18, 2016
I was told that I was referred by a "Friend" to join this business. After joining and trying some of the products I realized that this is not a good opportunity for anyone who actually has a family to support and requires regular income. If you don't have the time to be at their Beck and Call continuously, travel to their ongoing meetings out of state and have a large list of people that you are willing to constantly annoy this is NOT for you! I asked them which one of my "Friends" referred me to them and they have never replied.

Why All These Complaints?

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

How and why are these people joining without knowing ALL the facts??? I just don't get it ... are they not watching the 5LINX Videos, going to the PBR's or Information Sessions to ask questions before they jump in and then jump down 5LINX throat when something happens they are clueless about?

Signed Perplexed

BTW those friends or whomever signed ppl up need to be held accountable for not doing due diligence - the blame needs to go to them. I knew everything I needed to know before I signed up (I also watched the 5LINX Videos (that probably would've told you more than what your friend or associate did). I had no problems w/fees and I don't blame 5LINX because I didn't become successful. I blame me, myself & I ...

No one likes to be approached by a friend or family member to buy a product they are selling, or to feel pressured into joining your "new multi-level business" . Most people know the drill, and would probably rather donate money to you directly to get you off their backs. Pressuring friends and relatives to buy products and join this multi-level program will cause them to avoid you or stop talking to you altogether. Don't be surprised when no one answers the phone when you keep calling.

5Linx! Black Marketed Company?

Wasn't this black marketed company number one in Rochester New York? Didn't this black marketed company produce millionaires?

and did not the co founders, who are white in this back marketed company just elect the first ever African American CEO in the history of Network Marketing? Sounds Like Someone has some racial issues. So people have to see successful, educated, wealthy black folks.. History has shown our worth and accomplishments that were stolen and hidden behind white faces.

(No disrespect.) Now we will watch a black man take this Million Dollar Company to a Billion Dollar company. Not alone, but as a collective team... I am Black!

5linx was able to take money from my bank account without my permission!

My cousin Tamika Hamilton on my step father's side of the family along with her partner Porcia introduced me to this 5 linx company, and said I would have to pay two hundred forty nine dollars to start. I said okay, I get paid on Wednesday.

I never finished filling out the application, I put my social security number,name, and email address on the paper, before I could go into my account to give them the money, they had already taken more money than what they asked me for from my account. Three transactions were made on wednesday February 5, 2014. The first one was for 249.00 independent marketing representative. The second one was for 49.95 for platinum service monthly, and the third one for 45.00 5linx energy certification.

This is not right, so I'm bringing this criminal activity to your attention. I would like a refund, and I would hope someone address this situation soon.

These people have overdrawn my account by taking my hard earned money without my permission. My number is three zero one eight two one five zero five three.

YOU are to blame for trusting what you were TOLD instead of READING the contract YOU signed.

Guest

Im sorry but the people who signed you up and that you gave your information to went online and added these additional services without your knowledge. The company will only charge you for what you signed up for.

If you didnt personally sign up yourself then you need to check your cousin and her partner for not giving you complete information rather than blame the company. the company did exactly what the computer told them to do and somebody plugged in that information to the computer.

Guest

I can tell you this that your (My cousin Tamika Hamilton on my step father's side of the family along with her partner Porcia introduced me to this 5linx company)

Had to give your information to the 5linx office, unless you processed it yourself online. You put your information on the application and they processed it before they were suppose to so.

The two people you trusted with your application processed it.

Be Blessed

Guest

I'm just reading your post and it is sad that you believe 5Linx took money unauthorized from your account but here are the real facts. At your age (and I'm sure you are over age 18) haven't you been taught or learned to always read any document completely before you sign it?

If you read that application you filled out, you would have noticed that the $249 dollars was for you to own your very own franchise business with 5Linx, the $49.95 for the Platinum Service is a recurring charge that every 5Linx representative gets in order to know whats going on in their business as well as access to the training portals and the $45 was the certification cost for you to offer the energy services. Perhaps none of this was explained to you, but hold yourself accountable for not asking the right questions or reading any document that you fill out. Hope you see this as a lesson learned, but do not blame 5Linx for the shortcomings of the people that you know. Take ownership of what you didn't do correctly.

What to get with a professional that's successful in 5linx? Hit me up!

I worked for 5Linx for a year and signed up friends and family. I think the business is just what it states.

Any type of business will take an effort to make a success. I learned a lot from their system. 5linx has put together a business plan that made it easy to sell telecom products and services. As a result of starting the 5linx business I have went on to develop 50 Links.

50 Links is a marketing service based on 50 of the prime telecom service provides who has linked to my business to market their products and services. Now I am able to make 50 x more profits because I work directly with the provides. If you would like to join me in this business contact me at www.efibernet.com Make 50 times the profit join 50 links. 5linx paid me $2.00 commissions on product/Services sold.

50 links pays me 100.00 upfront per sales and 8.5% Monthly reaccouring income. The best part of the deal that I have some providers that pay 300% more then 5linx.

I think my 5linx investment was the start to my understanding of the Telecom Industry. Thanks 5linx!

Check the person who is your upline. I am a rep that started September 2013 my upline helped me filled out my application and waited for my approval to process the application because my funds was now in the bank.

This is a great company to build your business. 5linx is not the blame, they process what your upline sent in before your approval. That was greed on your upline part in a hurry to get you on their team and lost. Now you have a bad taste in your mouth about the company of an error of your upline.

I'm really sorry that happen to you. May blessing be poured upon you after this bad ordeal.

Yea sounds like your up line screwed you over sorry to hear that. You have to understand 5linx accepts applications online or by a person who submits the information.

I use 5linx and I sell 5linx and the prices have not gone up. Your up line's greed has.

Please don't let the bad experience shake you. Just call the corporate office and let them know what happen and contact your bank.

How To Succeed in Network Marketing and keep your friends...

The facts are 97% fail in network market period... not just 5linx but in any business venture..people are looking for a company to make them sucessful and that is not how the industry works. To be successful the individual needs to have strong reasons for doing the business written down or printed.. and have their top 3 reason on them at all time that is why so many quit in less than six months no reason but to make money real fast.. You need to have an advertising budget to attract people who are looking to make a change in their life. You need to teach people how to sponsor the right kind of person and disqualify the tire kicker and lottrey mentality minded individuals ( Thoses that want something for nothing come in all the time and complain that they are not making $10,000 a month in 30 days then quit) it will take 4 yours of consistent business building activity to earn that and most wont stick around that long... But those that develop the skill set and mind set and have a long term plan make the money... Those that come in and go out in less than for years they will continue down the path of blame.. working aT JOBS THEY HATE and retire broke and unfulfilled at the end..

Totally a scam

Yeah I know several people who are a part of this "5jinx" uh...I meant "5Linx" and have been for several years. And I am still waiting to see them "blow up" which was the term they used for "get rich". As a matter of fact they are still working their full time jobs, some have even picked up a part time job. I remember going to a meeting just for kicks and giggles and it was pathetic! I just sat and shook my head during the whole meeting, I think I was *** off the presenter. Signed, "So not convinced"

Why do people think that it's a "get rich quick" thing. That is definitely what it isn't.

The problem is not the company,I've seen first hand that it works. it's either the person showing you the information or you're just not doing the work. It's just that plain and simple. Yes it takes time just like every other company ever has, you can't just build a business like this overnight.

A LOT of things have changed since it's now Jason, Jeb, and William running the whole thing. They're doing a great job and if people can't see that then it's their loss.

Think about it like this....5linx is like college, anyone and everyone can join but it's not for everybody. Only the ones who will work their butts off to make a change in their life are the ones who will succeed.

I've definitely noticed the same thing. If this company is so great why are you 1 still working that same 9 - 5 as they love to say and 2 always looking for another way to make money? Makes no sense if this is such a great company.

What about it dont you like? Did uou think it was a get rich opportunity?

Complaint about Earthlink Internate Service

I went to the back office and found earthlink , put in my zip code and saw not enough information but there was a telephone for more infor. So I called and explain that I was with 5linx and I wanted to get points but the young lady didn't know anything about 5linx but she said there was a code. Before I sign up I call 5linx and got a rep., so I explain what earthlink customer told me. 5linx rep. said that once I got earthlink install call them and they would make sure I got the credit but after installment I got a total different answer that I wouldn't get the credit because I didn't do everything thur the back office. My rep no. is L684201

Your Upline should have either explained that or it should have been made clear during your Briefings/PBR. Actually it's via 5LINX Univ.

or did that cease? That's really 5LINX 101

Guest

So what do you want us all to say? This is a 5LINX complaint forum.

You think they're going to give you your money back? LOL!
