Well, I want to thank you guys for your responses and just re-confirming my suspicions about this operation.

The couple trying to get me to sign up intentionally brought up Alticor->Amway->Quixtar to put their name down and make a point of saying that TEAM will be different. He even made a point of saying, "it's not a get rich quick scheme" but then later said they were doing really well from it (they've been involved maybe 6-8 months) and tried to sell it on a personal level, saying their relationship has gotten stronger through their involvement in the company. From the way I see it though, it all is coming from the same basic idea. I do think Brady and Woodward have some good ideas in their book but as I read it, it comes across more as a sales pitch to suck you in.

I found out about this whole thing on Sunday night. They gave me a brief intro to it but it was very basic and I didn't know much about it so I told them I may be interested. The next night they were getting my name on papers. The first thing that really raised my eyebrow was within a couple minutes they wanted my VISA info and that's the first thing that scared me. After they left I immediately went online and looked up some info on it and it didn't take long to figure it was a sketchy operation. Earlier in the evening it got a bit personal, too. Not me but another family member they were pushing it on and going so far as to call him stupid if he doesn't sign up. One family member calling another stupid could lead to severed ties in a hurry and of course now I'm worried what their reaction will be when I tell them I'm not interested.
