Re: Business Opportunity to be had!!
I was just at one of these meetings yesterday in a hotel in donabate. I was invited in the exact same way Paul24 was. I was invited by a friend who was involved and had got his family involved ...blah, blah, blah ...€15, wear a shirt & tie...blah, blah... oppurtunity not to be missed....blah, blah. I repeatedly asked him was it Pyramid scheme and he swore blind it wasnt. and of course guess what??
The company called themselves Ignite Leisure and it had all the markings of a very well organised scam. they boasted of great results in the UK market place and how they now were now trading in Ireland, UK, Holland, Canada and.......... Iran. Basically it was a ten minute presentation on the 'AMAZING' not to be missed oppurtunity. and then 3 hours on how to sign other people up. they even boasted about being affiliated with Timesahare Companies, not something most people would want to admit. they had amazing figures showing travel prices are rising and how expensive they will get in the next 3 years. had to laugh at that one. There were even extremely believable guys giving testimonials.funny though that with all the money they all made not one of them splashed out the money on a decent suit for the presentation. you would think that making all this free money you would at least dress to impress?? seems not though. they are so rich now they just dont care.
needlles to say when they handed out the contarcts to sign away our €2500 we decided it was time to leave. but not before we were repeatedly asked why we would not sign and 'what the problem was'.
I have spent this morning searhing the web and have found nothing but warnings.It seems that they are well known across the UK and change their name on a regular basis. this is my favourite:

Bottom line, STAY WELL AWAY,except for comedy value. In fairness it was a great show for €15. You get comedy at its best, from real actors.
My favourite quote form the presentation:
"if you dont have €2500, then borrow it from someone who does and give it to us. then if you didnt have it to begin with and you dont have it now then whats the problem". Classic
