Speaker 1: Hello, my name's Santasha Nabananga Bamblet. I'm a proud yr
Speaker 1: the Order Kerni Whaltbury and a waddery woman. And before
Speaker 1: we get started on She's on the Money podcast, I
Speaker 1: would like to acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land
Speaker 1: of which this podcast is recorded on a wondery country,
Speaker 1: acknowledging the elders, the ancestors and the next generation coming through.
Speaker 1: As this podcast is about connecting, empowering, knowledge sharing and
Speaker 1: the storytelling of you to make a difference for today
Speaker 1: and lasting impact for tomorrow.
Speaker 2: Let's get into it.
Speaker 3: She's on the Money, She's on the Money.
Speaker 2: Hello, and welcome to She's on the Money, the podcast
Speaker 2: that helps you make savvy financial decisions while dodging financial
Speaker 2: traps disguised as golden opportunities. My friends, I am your host,
Speaker 2: Victoria Devine, and today we're going to dive into the
Speaker 2: murky world of promises, pyramids, and water. Yeah you heard
Speaker 2: me write water, specifically the six and a half thousand
Speaker 2: dollar water machine that claims to transform your life, your health,
Speaker 2: and maybe even your finances. If you've been with us
Speaker 2: for our past episodes on multi level marketing, you probably
Speaker 2: already know how these schemes work, and if you haven't,
Speaker 2: check out our deep dive on why ninety nine percent
Speaker 2: of people lose money in MLMs and why they are
Speaker 2: so hard to leave. Trust me, you're going to want
Speaker 2: that context because today we're going to focus on one
Speaker 2: particular MLM that's energic and it's cage and water machines.
Speaker 2: It's a scheme that is so slick it even markets
Speaker 2: itself as a movement and as a brother. But here's
Speaker 2: the twist. This isn't your average multi level marketing business
Speaker 2: pedaling makeup or candles. N Ergic is in a league
Speaker 2: of its own as a high ticket opportunity with sky
Speaker 2: high costs to join and even bigger risks when they
Speaker 2: go wrong. And that's exactly what I get to unpack today.
Speaker 2: Because I have done all of the snooping for you.
Speaker 2: We're going to be talking about how they steep by
Speaker 2: in set and energic apart, and why it might be
Speaker 2: even more damaging than the MLMs we've already covered before.
Speaker 2: Stick around because this one is a doozy, So grab
Speaker 2: a coffee or maybe just a cup of plane tapwater
Speaker 2: and we can get into it. If you've listened to
Speaker 2: me talk about multi level marketing businesses before, you will
Speaker 2: know that the key difference between a multi level marketing
Speaker 2: business and a pyramid scheme is that a legitimate multi
Speaker 2: level marketing business has a product. So let's take a
Speaker 2: closer look at the product that sets kang and Water
Speaker 2: apart from all those other dubious ventures. Spoiler alert, it's water,
Speaker 2: but not just any water. This is Kangan water, which
Speaker 2: we're told means return to origins in Japanese. It sounds
Speaker 2: almost spiritual, doesn't It Like it's going to whisk your
Speaker 2: way to some primordial, utopian version of yourself. Except it's
Speaker 2: still just water. Enalgic claims that their machines have been
Speaker 2: transforming lives in Japan for over five decades. What's their
Speaker 2: pitch Kanga water quote restores your body to its original
Speaker 2: alkaline state. Now I don't know about you, but I
Speaker 2: didn't realize my body had wandered off from its alkaline origins. Apparently,
Speaker 2: regular old tap water just isn't going to cut the
Speaker 2: mustard anymore. Clearly, I have been missing out on the
Speaker 2: life changing power of expensive H two. Their top of
Speaker 2: the range machine is going to set you back six
Speaker 2: seven hundred dollars, and Nalgic makes sure that no matter
Speaker 2: you'll find financial situation, you still have the brilliant opportunity
Speaker 2: to buy into this scheme. If you don't have six
Speaker 2: and a half grand lying around for a Cangam water machine,
Speaker 2: don't worry, though. They are so happy to help offer
Speaker 2: you financing options to make the purchase completely accessible. They say.
Speaker 2: These payment plans often come with interest rates that start
Speaker 2: get this at just ten percent, but will jump to
Speaker 2: a staggering twenty five percent if you miss a payment.
Speaker 2: That's not convenient, my friend. That is a financial trap,
Speaker 2: and it doesn't stop there. In some cases, distributors go
Speaker 2: as far as encouraging recruits to turn to payday loans
Speaker 2: or other really high interest financing options to buy their
Speaker 2: way into this scheme. According to an ABC investigation, one
Speaker 2: ex distributor get this, this was wild to me was
Speaker 2: even directed to a payday lender owned by another and
Speaker 2: Nergic distributor. Talk about a conflict of interest, and it
Speaker 2: got worse from there. This same person, who couldn't even
Speaker 2: afford one machine, was pressured into buying multiple machines to
Speaker 2: quote skip the queue in a Nargic's Labyrinth commission structure
Speaker 2: and Nalgic's own policies explicitly prohibit distributors from on selling
Speaker 2: machines that they purchase for themselves. The hypocrisy is completely astounding.
Speaker 2: It's a system that seems designed to push people into
Speaker 2: financial ruin. You can't even sell it if you buy it,
Speaker 2: and it doesn't suit your lifestyle. But the message here
Speaker 2: is very clear, whatever it takes, you just need to
Speaker 2: get that machine. These predatory payment practices don't just lock
Speaker 2: people into debt, they actually prey on financial vulnerability. They
Speaker 2: leave participants in a worse off position than the day
Speaker 2: that they started. For a company that quotes sells freedom,
Speaker 2: it seems like the only people that are getting free
Speaker 2: are the ones who are cashing in at the very top.
Speaker 2: It's driving me insane. The more research I do into this,
Speaker 2: the more angry I get, which should come as no
Speaker 2: surprise because it's me. But then get this, we're not
Speaker 2: just talking about the machine. We're not just talking about
Speaker 2: financial ruin, because obviously that's what makes me angry in
Speaker 2: the first place. Then let's get into the science behind
Speaker 2: Kanga water. Because if there's one thing I can not stand,
Speaker 2: it's pseudoscience being sold as facts. According to the investigating
Speaker 2: the Health claims and regulatory considerations of kanga water study
Speaker 2: a legit study. Imagine your business having a study done
Speaker 2: on it. Anyway, the magic of kanga water comes from
Speaker 2: a process called electrolysis, which makes the water alkaline and
Speaker 2: supposedly filled with antioxidants thanks to dissolving hydrogen gas. Sounds
Speaker 2: kind of impressive, right, magic maybe, But here's the kicker.
Speaker 2: The actual scientific backing is as thin as a discount
Speaker 2: supermarket piece of toilet paper. The study does go on
Speaker 2: to point out that while molecular hydrogen might show antioxidant
Speaker 2: effects in controlled lab settings, there is zero concrete evidence
Speaker 2: proving kanga water delivers anything meaningful to your health and hydration. Sure,
Speaker 2: alkaline water hydrates you just like every other kind of water.
Speaker 2: The study outright says that there is no significant advantage
Speaker 2: over regular tap water or filtered water, and according to
Speaker 2: the University of Texas, the pH of the body is
Speaker 2: tightly regulated. If you change your diet, you might actually
Speaker 2: see some changes in the pH of your saliva or
Speaker 2: your urine, because these are waste products, but that is it.
Speaker 2: In fact, if you were able to physiologically change the
Speaker 2: pH of your entire body, you would die. Your body
Speaker 2: fights to maintain its regular pH. So what are you
Speaker 2: really paying for with that six and a half thousand
Speaker 2: dollar machine. Well, it's a whole lot of marketing buzzwords
Speaker 2: and honestly false hope. It doesn't stop there, though it's
Speaker 2: driving me insane. The regulatory oversight for their outlandish claim
Speaker 2: is practically nonexistent. They market this as the holy grail
Speaker 2: of health, while the science barely scratches the surface of plausibility.
Speaker 2: The study rightly calls this out as misleading, and honestly,
Speaker 2: from my perspective, it's predatory. People are forking out thousands
Speaker 2: of dollars, thousands of dollars that they arguably don't even have,
Speaker 2: believing that they're investing in their health and getting wealthy,
Speaker 2: when all they're really doing is lining somebody else's pockets.
Speaker 2: If you've tuned into our past multi level marketing episodes,
Speaker 2: you're going to know that one of the most predatory
Speaker 2: tactics these schemes use is selling the idea of community.
Speaker 2: It's not just about the product or even the money. Honestly,
Speaker 2: it's about creating a sense of belonging for people who
Speaker 2: currently don't have it. These schemes thrive on targeting people
Speaker 2: who feel stuck, stuck in maybe their jobs, or their finances,
Speaker 2: or maybe just their lives in general. And what do
Speaker 2: they offer this company. It offers transformation, it offers freedom,
Speaker 2: it offers an escape from the so called rat race.
Speaker 2: It's not just a sales pitch. It's a lifeline for
Speaker 2: people who are desperate for change. But here's the twist
Speaker 2: with Energic. The product, the six and a half thousand
Speaker 2: dollar water machine, it's not the main attraction. They're six
Speaker 2: and a half thousand dollar product. Isn't even the thing
Speaker 2: that they talk about that often. The big players in
Speaker 2: this game, they barely even talk about the machine. What
Speaker 2: they're really selling is a lifestyle. It's a fantasy of
Speaker 2: financial freedom, of self improvement, and living your best life,
Speaker 2: all while getting to work from home, or from your
Speaker 2: traveling caravan, or more accurately, from your phone. And this
Speaker 2: makes me so mad. They know exactly who to target.
Speaker 2: We're going to take the rural financial Movement as a
Speaker 2: really good example. This group. They prey on regional and
Speaker 2: rural women, promising them a chance to break free from
Speaker 2: the limitations of geography and circumstance. Literally, that's what they say.
Speaker 2: Then there's the Legacy Brotherhood, which is just another one
Speaker 2: which takes a different angle, offering men a brotherhood to
Speaker 2: improve their health, their wealth, and their purpose through a
Speaker 2: very supportive community. It's not just about selling water machines.
Speaker 2: It's about creating a sense of identity for those who
Speaker 2: might have felt like they're lost on their way and
Speaker 2: if you're wondering how far they'll go to reel you in.
Speaker 2: The Legacy Brotherhood doesn't just sell a sense of identity.
Speaker 2: They're going to charge you five hundred and ninety nine
Speaker 2: dollars for the privilege of even starting the journey. Their
Speaker 2: Men's Legacy Mastermind promises to help men take control of
Speaker 2: their health, their wealth, and their purpose in just a
Speaker 2: few days. Honestly, it sounds transformational. When you start reading
Speaker 2: into it, you're like, this is pretty good, Like this
Speaker 2: makes sense to me. People need this, Like genuinely, men's
Speaker 2: mental health is important. So when I started to read
Speaker 2: into it, even I started to slip down the slope
Speaker 2: of going, yeah, you're right, men's health is important, Like
Speaker 2: men need to talk more about money and like I
Speaker 2: would love to have more purpose. They had me as
Speaker 2: a female thinking that a brotherhood was definitely something I
Speaker 2: should be thinking about. But what you're paying for really
Speaker 2: is a very vague motivational talk and a lot and
Speaker 2: I mean a lot of buzzwords. The only guaranteed transformation
Speaker 2: that's going to happen here is the six hundred dollars
Speaker 2: that is going to transform into not being in your
Speaker 2: bank account. It's not just about creating a sense of belonging,
Speaker 2: it's about monetizing it from the very first step. And
Speaker 2: let's not forget the top tier sellers in Australia who
Speaker 2: run the Freedom Era. This is a ninety nine dollars
Speaker 2: a month subscription based coaching platform, right, so that's how
Speaker 2: they get you in. They're not going to be saying, hey,
Speaker 2: the welcome we have this six and a half thousand
Speaker 2: dollar water machine and I'd be like, well, I don't
Speaker 2: want to buy that. They sell a lifestyle. They don't
Speaker 2: even post about this damn water machine anywhere. They post
Speaker 2: about their Freedom Era. It's all over social media. You
Speaker 2: can go and look at it. I'm probably going to
Speaker 2: be blocked from them after this episode drops, So you
Speaker 2: go Ham, please have fun. But this Freedom Era, right,
Speaker 2: you sign up to them because you see them on
Speaker 2: socials and you think this is great. I would love
Speaker 2: to live a life exactly like they do. It's a
Speaker 2: ninety nine dollars a month subscription based coaching platform and
Speaker 2: it's less about teaching you to sell water and more
Speaker 2: about selling yourself. They kind of teach you how to
Speaker 2: craft the illusion of success on social media so that
Speaker 2: you can pull others into the same web the machine.
Speaker 2: It's absolutely secondary from everything I have looked into what
Speaker 2: they're really selling. It's a dream, a dream at that
Speaker 2: for most that turns into a nightmare of debt and
Speaker 2: complete disappointment. So while doing some research, I discovered one
Speaker 2: chat script that was given to the subscribers of This
Speaker 2: Freedom Era, and according to the ABC, it included quote
Speaker 2: an invented boyfriend that you've been able to retire because
Speaker 2: of your multi level marketing success. It's a legitimate script
Speaker 2: that they give you so you can make up a boyfriend,
Speaker 2: so that you can convince people that you have a
Speaker 2: life you do not have. Obviously, I'm going to share
Speaker 2: that with you, so let's go. Here is the script.
Speaker 2: I totally relate having retired justin last year. From the minds,
Speaker 2: I understand how hard it feels when you are sacrificing
Speaker 2: your time for money. I would love to share more
Speaker 2: info with you on how I've been able to change
Speaker 2: my life. When do you think you'll have some time
Speaker 2: to watch a quick video? I'm so excited to be
Speaker 2: able to connect with you and guide you to create
Speaker 2: the life you deserve on your own terms. No wonder.
Speaker 2: People often refer to these multi level marketing companies as cults.
Speaker 2: They don't just sell a product or even a business opportunity.
Speaker 2: They're selling an entire way of life. They isolate you
Speaker 2: from outside perspectives. They draw you into this tight knit
Speaker 2: community where questioning the system it's taboot. Don't do that,
Speaker 2: and they make you feel like failure is your fault,
Speaker 2: definitely not theirs. They prey on your vulnerabilities. They convince
Speaker 2: you that their way is the only way that you
Speaker 2: are ever going to achieve success, happiness, and freedom. It's
Speaker 2: not just manipulative, it is down right predatory. And that's
Speaker 2: exactly why I am here to shine a light on it.
Speaker 2: I'm going to take a quick break because I'm getting
Speaker 2: way too heated, but when we come back, I'm going
Speaker 2: to share a story that stopped me in my DM tracks.
Speaker 2: One of our community members reached out about her underage brother.
Speaker 2: It's shocking, it's predatory, and it perfectly exposes just how
Speaker 2: far these tactics are going to go. So don't go anywhere.
Speaker 2: I'll be right back. Welcome back, my friends. Before the break,
Speaker 2: I mentioned a story that perfectly illustrates how predatory these
Speaker 2: schemes can be, and honestly, this one flawed me. It's
Speaker 2: about a young boy, he was seventeen, who was drawn
Speaker 2: into the web of an MLM under the guise of
Speaker 2: helping his family. The details, they are outrageous and they
Speaker 2: are going to show you just how far these recruiters go.
Speaker 2: This community member shared a Facebook post that one of
Speaker 2: the recruiters had written about her brother and shared publicly.
Speaker 2: So here's what it said. Moments like these make me
Speaker 2: realize how much of an impact I'm actually making. This
Speaker 2: person traveled two and a half hours on the trains
Speaker 2: from Northern Brisbane to come down to the Gold Coast
Speaker 2: to meet me about kang and water and find out
Speaker 2: how it can help him and his mother. The knowledge
Speaker 2: I have is valuable don't take it for granted. I
Speaker 2: have a voice and I'm going to use it to
Speaker 2: improve this world we live in, not to harmit like
Speaker 2: a lot of people out there. Oh did I mention
Speaker 2: he's seventeen, finish high school last week? This kid has
Speaker 2: his priorities straight, health and wealth hashtag year of growth. Now,
Speaker 2: the community member, this young boy's sister told us more
Speaker 2: about what was really happening behind the scenes. She said,
Speaker 2: my brother was seventeen, but all I can compare it
Speaker 2: to is grimming because the conversations were going on for
Speaker 2: months prior to this meeting, going back to when he
Speaker 2: was sixteen. He was hearing nothing of what I was saying,
Speaker 2: basically me begging him to not get involved because he
Speaker 2: was essentially being brainwashed. My mum was struggling hard financially,
Speaker 2: and they really held on to that to make him
Speaker 2: think he was going to be able to save her
Speaker 2: from this. Now you might be thinking, surely this is illegal,
Speaker 2: and you know what, my friend, you would be absolutely correct.
Speaker 2: It is absolutely even against their own terms and conditions,
Speaker 2: and Magic explicitly states in their terms and conditions all
Speaker 2: individuals who are distributors must be at least eighteen years
Speaker 2: of age and must not be a student, so recruiting
Speaker 2: a seventeen year old fresh outer high school boy completely
Speaker 2: against the rules. But here's the thing. When you've got
Speaker 2: thousands of dollars to payback for your so called miracle
Speaker 2: water machine, it seems the moral or the legality line
Speaker 2: starts to really blur. This particular distributor tried to convince
Speaker 2: a seventeen year old to sign up under his mum's name,
Speaker 2: and luckily he didn't. These schemes thrive on desperation, and
Speaker 2: recruiters will often resort to literally any measure, even targeting
Speaker 2: underage kids, it seems to keep their own financial heads
Speaker 2: above water. It's unethical, it's exploitative, and it shows just
Speaker 2: how little accountability these multi level marketing structures enforce when
Speaker 2: money is on the line. And speaking of exploitation, let's
Speaker 2: dive in to a Nargic's baffling compensation plan. I've mentioned
Speaker 2: before that MLMs loved to bamboozle recruits by overly complexifying
Speaker 2: commission structures, right, but let me tell you this, A
Speaker 2: Nargic's plan is one of the most confusing I have
Speaker 2: ever seen, and trust me, I'm a legitimate finance expert,
Speaker 2: and it gave me a headache trying to decipher it.
Speaker 2: You can imagine what it would be like for the
Speaker 2: average person who can't read a spreadsheet, doesn't understand it,
Speaker 2: and doesn't have the capacity to do so, what it
Speaker 2: would be like if you are being pitched this quote opportunity.
Speaker 2: So here's a little peek into this chaos that I've
Speaker 2: been able to decipher. Nagic uses something called an eight
Speaker 2: point commission structure, which it has a warning itself to
Speaker 2: not be confused with an eight level structure, because, of course,
Speaker 2: why would you make it simple. Each product, like their
Speaker 2: six and a half thousand dollars Caangam water machine, generates
Speaker 2: commission points based on the seller's rank. But wait, there's
Speaker 2: of course more. Your commission also depends on the model
Speaker 2: of the water machine that you sell, the number of
Speaker 2: units you've sold historically, and even the payment method. For example,
Speaker 2: a one A distributor might earn like two hundred and
Speaker 2: ninety dollars per point on a Caangum water machine sale,
Speaker 2: whereas somebody who is a six A distributor, they're going
Speaker 2: to earn seventeen hundred and forty dollar per point for
Speaker 2: the same sale, exactly the same sale. Are you still
Speaker 2: with me?
Speaker 1: Good?
Speaker 2: Because here's where it gets worse. If you want to
Speaker 2: keep your higher commissions so you want to stay at
Speaker 2: your six A level, you're going to need to sell
Speaker 2: regularly within really strict time frames. If you don't meet
Speaker 2: those quotas, your earning shrink faster than your bank account
Speaker 2: after buying one of those machines, and if you haven't
Speaker 2: made a sale in two years, you actually get kicked out.
Speaker 2: You lose your ability to earn entirely. These layers of
Speaker 2: complexity are designed to confuse recruits, making them feel like
Speaker 2: the potential earnings are just around the corner if they
Speaker 2: work hard enough and sell another machine. It's like a
Speaker 2: financial obstacle. Course, only the people at the top of
Speaker 2: the pyramid, I mean structure derito really stand a chance
Speaker 2: of winning. The rest. They're left running in circles. They're
Speaker 2: trying to decode the fine print while sinking deeper and
Speaker 2: deeper into debt. It's no wonder so many people quit
Speaker 2: before they even see a single dollar. I have tens
Speaker 2: I would say nearly one hundred messages in my Instagram
Speaker 2: dms when I asked about kanga water of people saying
Speaker 2: they had bought the six and a half thousand dollars
Speaker 2: machine and seen not one dollar in a return. Let's
Speaker 2: dig a little bit more into Nalgic's own earnings disclosures,
Speaker 2: because if their compensation plan wasn't enough to scare you off,
Speaker 2: the reality of what people actually earn might So starting
Speaker 2: at the bottom of the pyramid, sixty percent of Nalgic
Speaker 2: distributors sit at the lowest rank. They earn a median
Speaker 2: yearly income of two hundred and eighty five dollars. That's
Speaker 2: less than twenty four dollars a month, barely enough for
Speaker 2: a coffee subscription, let alone a side hustle. Next we
Speaker 2: move to the second rank, so we step up a
Speaker 2: little bit. We're only fourteen percent of distributors actually quote
Speaker 2: make it already, we're seeing a massive drop off of
Speaker 2: people advancing in their structure. The median income here five
Speaker 2: hundred and eighty dollars per year. And then in the
Speaker 2: third rank, where only five points three percent of distributors
Speaker 2: get to sit, the medium income jumps to a whopping
Speaker 2: one thousand and thirty two dollars every single year. Let's
Speaker 2: put that into perspective, though eighty percent of participants are
Speaker 2: earning a median of less than one thousand, one hundred
Speaker 2: dollars a year. That's less than one hundred dollars a month.
Speaker 2: And I don't think that we are forgetting this, but
Speaker 2: the kang and water machine alone costs six and a
Speaker 2: half thousand dollars, not to mention the training subscriptions, the
Speaker 2: marketing materials, and potentially financing interest if you didn't have
Speaker 2: the cash up front and went for a buy now,
Speaker 2: pay later or some type of payday loan. Let's not
Speaker 2: even get started on the time invested that is needed
Speaker 2: to keep up with the sales quota and the recruiting
Speaker 2: that you'll have to do. And now let's go all
Speaker 2: the way to the top of the pyramid, where the
Speaker 2: real money supposedly is at the very top tier, where
Speaker 2: only zero point zero two percent of distributors sit. There
Speaker 2: are exactly in the whole country get this, seven people, yep, seven,
Speaker 2: according to the earnings disclosure, they're the ones who have
Speaker 2: cracked that elusive million dollar mark that gets touted as
Speaker 2: a realistic possibility. That's seven people out of more than
Speaker 2: thirty thousand people that are currently signed up. So when
Speaker 2: you hear claims of limitless earning potential, just remember the
Speaker 2: actual numbers. The odds of success are staggeringly low, and
Speaker 2: the cost of trying well they're painfully high. The reality is,
Speaker 2: for most people, this isn't a business opportunity. It is
Speaker 2: a financial trap. And let's not forget about the buzz
Speaker 2: around legacy payments that they talk about. Oh my god,
Speaker 2: Instagram post after Instagram post, I've seen so many tiktoks
Speaker 2: about people saying I do this because I'm setting my
Speaker 2: children up for a financially secure future with the naji's
Speaker 2: legacy payments. Because if there's one thing multi level business
Speaker 2: says love, it's sprinkling vague promises of generational wealth to
Speaker 2: real people in legacy payments are touted as one of
Speaker 2: the ultimate rewards for hitting the top ranks in an ergic,
Speaker 2: with the promise that these payments can even be passed
Speaker 2: down to your children after you die. Sounds amazing, right.
Speaker 2: I love the idea of intergenerational wealth. Right, So let's
Speaker 2: peel back the layers here, because if there's one thing
Speaker 2: I want, it's a clear story. When it comes to
Speaker 2: multi level marketing, businesses like if I'm going to do something,
Speaker 2: I'm going to do it right. So you know what
Speaker 2: I did. I picked up the phone and I called them,
Speaker 2: and they hit me with the classic multi level marketing
Speaker 2: run around. First a really vague line about it having
Speaker 2: to do with your rank and then your sales, and
Speaker 2: then I was told that if I joined as a distributor,
Speaker 2: their quote sponsor would explain it all that I had
Speaker 2: to join first. And then when I pressed further, because
Speaker 2: you know it's a massive financial commitment, I was told
Speaker 2: to send an email. Request the email obviously, they never replied.
Speaker 2: Transer parrency apparently isn't part of this package. So what's
Speaker 2: the real story here? From the research that is available online,
Speaker 2: these legacy payments aren't as simple as a nargic makes
Speaker 2: them sound. In fact, when I call them, they can't
Speaker 2: even explain them. Sure, if you reach and maintain a
Speaker 2: certain rank through continued sales, you're going to become eligible
Speaker 2: for these payments. But here's the catch. They aren't just
Speaker 2: free and clear passive income streams like you'd get if
Speaker 2: you invested money. It's not money that your money makes.
Speaker 2: Making money to keep these payments going. Your kids or
Speaker 2: whoever is going to inherit your core legacy. They actually
Speaker 2: have to take over your distributor spot and maintain sales
Speaker 2: to remain eligible, so they're pipelining their business. That means
Speaker 2: that these aren't true inheritance payments. There's nothing legacy about that.
Speaker 2: They're just another way to keep people locked into the system,
Speaker 2: and then a way to keep their kids locked into
Speaker 2: the same system. Your legacy isn't wealth, it's ongoing pressure
Speaker 2: to sell overpriced water machines. Misleading, absolutely, because while the
Speaker 2: the idea of leaving something for your children is very powerful,
Speaker 2: the reality is much closer to passing down a liability
Speaker 2: than a financial windfall. Plus, these so called legacy payments
Speaker 2: aren't even guaranteed. They reportedly happen at a najic's discretion,
Speaker 2: meaning even if you managed to hit the elusive rank
Speaker 2: and then you meet all of the lofty sales targets,
Speaker 2: you might not actually see a sent and that's completely legal.
Speaker 2: All right, I'm done here. I will probably talk about
Speaker 2: these guys again, because you best believe I have a
Speaker 2: lot of fun diving into the who, what, why, when,
Speaker 2: where and how. I've seen every single Instagram, every single TikTok,
Speaker 2: on these people. I have called them, I have stalked them.
Speaker 2: In fact, when I did call them and said, oh,
Speaker 2: I'm going to need some more information, they very easily
Speaker 2: handed over a password to their password protected website, thinking
Speaker 2: that that was a way to get me in. Sorry, guys,
Speaker 2: if you're listening to this, I did use that information
Speaker 2: to make this podcast, maybe talking about you wrap it up.
Speaker 2: What makes a Nergic stand out from other multi level
Speaker 2: marketing companies is its position as what they call a
Speaker 2: high ticket opportunity. The kang and water machines cost a
Speaker 2: draw dropping six and a half grand, meaning recruits are
Speaker 2: stepping into significant debt before they even get to sell one.
Speaker 2: They can't even sell it on or put it on
Speaker 2: Facebook Marketplace if they decide it's not for them. This
Speaker 2: isn't the usual buy some inventory and get started up,
Speaker 2: set up. This is a really high stakes game from
Speaker 2: the get go, and that price tag creates a cascade
Speaker 2: of problems, from predatory financing schemes to really relentless pressure
Speaker 2: to recruit and sell just to stay afloat. And at
Speaker 2: the end of the day, a Nargic and its Kang
Speaker 2: Water Empire thrive on big promises and little accountability. They
Speaker 2: don't just sell water, guys, They're selling dreams, and for
Speaker 2: most people, those dreams come at a devastating costs. So
Speaker 2: what do I want you to take away from this?
Speaker 2: If something sounds too good to be true, my friend,
Speaker 2: it probably is. I'm going to stick to Tap. You
Speaker 2: should too. It's cheaper, just as effective, and it's not
Speaker 2: going to lock you into a lifetime of debt. Remember,
Speaker 2: you deserve better than overpriced pseudoscience wrapped in false hope
Speaker 2: and water. If today's episode fired you up just as
Speaker 2: much as it did me, and you want to join
