Is This a Pyramid Scheme?

1. This company focuses more on recruiting new members than it does on offering travel packages.
2. The FTC says that a pyramid scheme is a company who focuses on recruiting members into their system and does not focus on selling an actual product.
3. The company Evolution Travel main focus is on recruiting new travel agents and not customer satisfaction.
4. So far they have flown under the radar of the FTC and this company has not been tagged as a pyramid scheme. However, the more reports and the more dissatisfied customers, the FTC will investigate this company, and more than likely tag it as a pyramid scheme.

My Thoughts About This Company:

1. In order to open a home based travel business, you need a license. This will require you to take an online course to obtain this license.
2. I cannot find anywhere the company offers you this course or supplies you with the license you need to open your own home based travel agency.
3. The site will give you a generic pre-built website for you to use. You will need to obtain your website hosting and pay your domain name each year to keep this site online. This can be quite expensive depending on what company you choose to host your site.
4. Each month you are required to pay the company $69.95. This is an extremely high price for what the company offers you. On top of this, the company makes you pay your own website hosting costs each year. This adds up to a very high investment unless you can recruit new members and add them to your downline.
5. The company is set up as an MLM company but has the character traits of a pyramid scheme company. They only focus on recruiting new members and not actually selling a product.
6. The company has none of its own products to sell.
7. This company has many dissatisfied customers and a large number of complaints filed against them.

Conclusion:

So far this is a legitimate company because the FTC has not yet declared them a pyramid scheme. However, this status can change at any time the longer the company operates and only focuses on recruiting new members. Furthermore, the monthly membership cost and the web hosting costs make this a very expensive business adventure. Just keep in mind if you want to have your own home based travel agency, you will need to have the license to do this. That means you will be required to take a course to obtain this license. So far the money the agents earn is through recruiting new members to the company. This is a very difficult way to earn money as a travel agent and not an easy task to perform. It is better to find a legitimate company to work for and open your own travel agency. Avoid joining this company and avoid paying the high monthly membership fees. I would not recommend that you join this company.
