    Ok so I don't get why you are so upset about something that you have never tried, and have to go back and forth with people about it. To me it seems like the problem is that maybe in the past a company wronged you and you feel that you have to take your frustration out on something. I will admit that even I had doubts but after actually doing just a little research, just like anyone should do, I found out that the only people saying that it is a scam are people that either were apart of wake now for one month and did not even try, or people who never even made the first step. Im currently a student at Brown Mackie college and I have a soon to be two year old, so obviously I do not have money to throw away, I am currently saving money by being apart of wake up now, I don't know what you've heard but the only way you can lose money is if you aren't doing anything to earn money. People waste their money on stupid things already why not put it towards something that you can benefit from?

    • To put it bluntly, I put ZERO credibility in to blog posts of people who put their first and only post on a forum in support of some money making scheme. When you see multiple first time posters doing it, IMO that should be a HUGE red flag.

Is it really possible to be able to determine if something is good or bad just by looking at the literature? That doesn't give you a good understanding of what the business is all about. It's only when you participate that you can make that decision. So anyone who hasn't actually done the program, there opinion is useless and should be ignored. It's important to try it yourself and not let others who have no knowledge of wake up now trick you into not making a lot of money. They're just jealous because they don't understand what a great opportunity this is.
        Do you have to put your hand in a fire to know it will get burned if you do so?

        I can't believe some people actually fall for this stuff. Then when they try to explain how it works, they don't even realize they are describing a Ponzi scheme. If there always has to be people "buying in" below you for yourself to make money, then its a pyramid scheme, plain and simple. You're not making money off your "services", rather, the money comes from how many folks you can get to fall for the same trick.

        • Is wake up now a scam or nah?

          hello guys i once thought the same thing and was skeptical myself and that's understandable. I am with wakeupnow and was able to reach the founder 4 rank in 3 months. its definitely a legit company, but you don't pay a fee to make money, your actually paying for the benefits and services that helps you save and manage your money, when your saving all of this money a month your naturally going to want to help others do the same thing, and that is what you get paid for. The ONLY thing that i can tell you is dont go for these people with all of this money flashing on youtube because alot of people in wakeupnow is just selling you dreams but not giving you the strategy on how they got there. So you wont get scammed for your money because this IS 100% legit , but you will be left out here by yourself to figure it out so you want you join someone that can help you get your people and who has your back.

          • I've tried many mlm's like this and while they aren't "scam" in the sense of a total fraud, they are none the less a defacto scam. You will never make the amounts of money they claim you can make. I would stay away from anything like this.

            • Not surprising at all. I could get that from the video they have promoting themselves. Wake Up Now would fall into the scam department in my book. This is especially true since it bills itself as a "vacation club" which have been getting a lot of scam warning from state Attorney Generals across the country in recent weeks.

                • It sounds like a scam

                  I think that it sounds like a scam.

                  Do a search for Wake Up Now SCAM on YouTube. I cannot post the URL here, but it is easy to do the search on YouTube.

                  • I want to hear from some of the people who were on here promoting this now

                    In a letter written by CEO Phil Polich on February 16, 2015, WUN announced it would cease all network marketing operations due to poor management by former CEO Kirby Cochran citing, "his decisions for a privileged few outweighed the incredible heart and dedication of the many". Pyramid scheme expert Robert FitzPatrick has said that WakeUpNow's closure was typical of multi-level marketing companies, and that prior to being ousted Cochran had been presented as a "godlike figure" by the company.

                    Truth in Advertising's review of the organization found that some of the products offered by joining its program are available for free or lower cost elsewhere on the Internet and that the organization as of September 2014 has had 160 complaints to the Federal Trade Commission.
