There is actually a huge Quixtar Yahoo Group with an associated forum. They lure people with high quality business discussions and basically push them slowly into their desired direction. Once they 'cooked' the mind of the newbies they approach them and offer this great deal ..... Quixtar. Once you say yes you gain access to the Yahoo group and the person who signed you up acts as your mentor.
Happened to me. I guess what the mentor did not expect that I a) researched Quixtar and b) that I started reading the Yahoo group messages from the very beginning. These archives are a great thing.
In their early days this group had exactly described how they will approach new members and how they will 'brainwash' people and get them to sign up and join the 'pyramid'. My 'mentor' had followed exactly their own manual from the Yahoo group when trying to 'cook' me.
Well, I did not sign up with them for obvious reasons. My advice - just stay away from Quixtar and any sort of MLM. No matter what people say - somebody has to pay the price and it is usually the last person joining the 'program'.
