So I paid $30 to enter this eight week contest in July 2015 where HerbaLife distributors advertised that three winners in each of the seven categories would get a payout plus one Grand Champion. In order to collect your winnings, the September 2015 payout required winners to be present at the HerbaLife event.
So I attended the September 2015 Payout event.
Unfortunately, only five of the seven categories had three winners. Two of the categories only had one winner. The BTC Committee Charlotte broke their promise. They mislead participants with false advertisement, and they emphasized a non-refundable entry fee.
In one of the categories, a husband and wife, both HerbaLife VIP's, walked away with $350 in total payout toward their one household.
In many of the categories, veteran HerbaLife distributors was walking away with $225 payouts.
The HerbaLife distributor handing out the certificates in this category pictured above actually took home the $400 Grand Champion payout plus $100 for having the most winners from his team. $500 total.
So for the rest of us who took off work, took away time from family, watched the HerbaLife distributors pay each other off and accepted these paper certificates that did not even have our names written on them, we were blown away at this mockery of a real contest.
They should have a separate contest for non-HerbaLife distributors, and the BTC Committee should be more considerate of others' time. I did not hear any fair accountability of how they determined the winners of the categories. It just looked shady to me which is my opinion.
Also, I understood there to be over $3000.00 in prizes. The payouts for the following five categories:
- Total Body Weight Percentage Lost
- Total Body Fat Percentage Lost
- Best 40 and Older- Before/After
- Best Male - Muscle Definition
- Best Female - Body Sculpting
were
- $225 for 1st place
- $125 for 2nd place
- $70 for 3rd place.
For the following two categories: Best Male- Before/After and Best Female Before/After had only ONE winner at $200 each.
And as I mentioned before - the Grand Champion collected $400. Also, the HerbaLife distributor with the most winners was awarded $100.
By my calculations, exactly $3000.00 cash was paid out, and many of the recipients were veteran HerbaLife distributors.
The next BTC starts again soon. You fooled me once - shame on you BTC Committee Charlotte. You fool me twice - shame on me. This contest in my opinion is unethical, and HerbaLife should be ashamed for requiring people to be attend only to be handed a blank HerbaLife certificate.
I was asked to participate in the next Herbalife Body Transformation Challenge. I mentioned that it looks like a scam. I was told that only an "outsider" would see it that way. So if you are not fully "HerbaLife" invested, then it may look like a scam to you. Good information to know.
