Power of People Network SCAM
Permalink  

I recently answered an add in Home Business Connection Magazine which stated, "make money from home returning calls - no selling required".  I was contacted by the founder of The Power of People Network, Jonathan Parr and his partner Elbert West of Carthage, TN.
 
Upon listening to the "call", I was instructed to send $3,500 CASH via Federal Express to Jonathan.  He explained that once the money was received that he would "qualify" me on the site and I would be sent "leads" I could call to tell about this "activity".  He said that others would GIFT me money and that I could make thousands in this "program".
 
They also have a line for those who sign up to get more information on how to scam others out of money effectively.  They are very crafty in the way they work their sentences so as not to raise any red-flags.  On their site you can find "guidelines" for which terms to use: 
 
"In communicating with others, it is VERY IMPORTANT that we use the appropriate terminology. Participants DO NOT use the following terminology in the activity:
 
Investment, Paid Earnings, Make Profits, Dividends, Player, Down-line, Up-line, Return, Net, Play the board, Play the house, Took In, Paid off, Paid out, Sponsor, Sign-up, Purchase, Guarantee, Assured Buy, Sure bet, Earn, Multiply your money, Pay, Getting Paid, Recruit, Buy-in, Payout
 
Participants DO use the following terminology in the activity:
 
Gift, Give, Receive, I have gifted, I have received, Participation, Golden Rule, Invited by, Constitutional Rights, Sharing, Gifter, Helping others, Right to give, Giving, Nice people, Register your gift, Associates, Fellow man, Kindness, Caring, I gave, Participant, Giving, Free association, Activity, Family, Community, Invitation"
 
The administration routinely talk about this being a "private activity", but never let anyone know that it is organized crime.  They stress time and time again that all cash money should be sent via Federal Express, DHL or UPS ONLY.  No money will be accepted under any circumstances via the United States Postal Service.  One can only assume that this is because if cash were discovered being sent that it might alert the Postal Inspector to their scam.
 
They also tell you to include in the envelope a "gifting statement" and a "non-solicitation form" which basically states that the person you are "gifting" this money to has not solicited it from you.  I was told by Mr. Elbert West that you can legally "gift" up to $11,000 to one person per year without the IRS getting involved.   Ironically on this week's "call" they were talking about how this was a prime time to get people involved in this "activity" as everyone was receiving their IRS return money.
 
When you listen to their information hot lines it is amazing to see how much money they are stealing from people.  Mr. West told me personally that he has made $750,000 in the past year and that Mr. Parr stands to make $2,000,000 TAX FREE in the coming year from this "activity".  Obviously this is money that they are NOT reporting to the IRS.  He said that he and Mr. Parr are careful not to look flashy in the community.  They live humbly, but pay cash for everything and especially luxury items under the amount of $10,000.00.

I have been contacted by many victims of Jon Parr & Power of People Network. One of the most common questions I am asked is where to file complaints and will it help. IT WILL HELP! If enough people come forward and file complaints, state and federal agencies will begin an investigation. An investigation of this type could result in Mr. Parr's assets being frozen in order to pay back the victims.

The following is a short list of some of the organizations I where I filed complaints.

Some reporters are calling it The Power of the People Network, but it should say POWER OF PEOPLE NETWORK without "the" in the middle.

Just received great news update:

There is a POPN LIFE member named Miguel who has been bragging about how he's opening a POPN LIFE office in Beauregard Parish, Louisiana. He joined and invited the Chamber of Commerce as well as local media, Mayor and Governor to the "ribbon cutting ceremony". Everything was a go for June 2nd and pictures were to be posted on the Beauregard News site.

However, I have been informed that the Chamber of Commerce has canceled the ceremony and informed Miguel that they will not be supporting POPN LIFE CO due to information that the received from the state's Attorney General's office.

Apparently the State of Louisiana's AG office is investigating POPN and POPN LIFE and the Chamber said that they will not be supporting this company because "they cannot see the value or product of the company." 

THE FUNNIEST PART is that yesterday on their member support call, they encouraged everyone to go to their Chamber of Commerce and request a grand opening ceremony.
