Xango review: Scam and cheating 80

believer 99, how much xango are you buying a month? probably $100.00 a month on the auto ship program. 4 magical bottles of mystery fruit juice that probably costs Xango $2 bucks.
Of course you think it works, you got to justify that money each month Sucker!
And your right, I could have had thousands of dollars from my moms will, but she left it all to dr Templeman so he could study the Mangosteen full time at his imaginary clinic. Oh Darn, lost out to all that ill gotten phoney juice money that killed my mom.
It' makes me laugh when you Xombies send your hate mail, Don't you poor loosers have any new lines?
"YA IT WORKS FOR MY ?" I DON'T HAVE ANY FRIENDS OR FAMILY THAT WANT TO HANG AROUND ME ANY MORE BUT I JUST GOT OFFNARCOTIC MEDICATIONS.
That line is right out of the brainwashing seminars you attend evry week, am i right? Of course. That line is soooooo old.
Your probably a distributer who makes $00.00 per month and you will say anything to sell this crap to every person you come in contact with.
So why don't you use your real name just like me? And show us clinical studies with 100s of people who have taken this miracle elixer. Come on Believer99 where is the proof?
Your just a liar and a coward that hides behind a fake name and a fake cure all juice.
GO XANGO

Harley,
I hope more people will find and READ your comments regarding XanGo.
Thank you for sharing your story and making sure that XanGo does NOT take advantage of another person.

Sounds like a chain letter, If you look on Sherman Unkefer's magic wand page, he writes that 93% of all people in Multi level marketing fail. But if you buy his "magic wand C.ds and dvd's you will be a success."
Sherman, having been my good ole stepfather for 25 years will tell you anything to make a buck, and so do all these Xango distributers. Even making money off of powdered food bags, Wow!
The National Charity Awards is run by Mr Doug Wead, a former Amway motivational speaker and Presidetial butt kisser. He recently joined Xango, He says in various you tube videos of how the wonder of Xango helped cure his daughters headaches and he decided to jump from Amway to Xango. This is another bull story from the smoke and mirror dept in Xango. Mr. Wead is a paid consultant on the Xango payroll.
And since two years ago when Xango hired him guess who recieved numerous Charity awards, Yep, a whole bunch of Xango leaders, How remarkable this should be?
I can see them now at a Xango corporate meeting.
So, " let's hire Doug Wead and everyone will think that he came to us from Amway",
"Ya Doug Wead is down on his luck after selling phone conversations with then Governor George Bush to the New York Times, " (google Doug Wead tapes)
"No body trusts him anymore"
"we will give him a job and he can nominate us for Charity Awards too"
Ya! brilliant idea, people will think we are so giving and charitable"
Too funny, Can't believe people fall for this crap.
And getting back to Sherman Unkefer, he got a charity award last year at the phony awards ceremony. How do you have lawyers fighting on your behalf to avoid paying the people you ripped off then get a charity award?(google sherman unkefer prison)
Are we starting to see a pattern of sleaziness. Wake up Xombies!

harleyda, from my understanding, I don't even see these so-called meal packs as a tax write-off scheme. XanGo representatives openly claim that this new endeavour is another form of Multi Level Marketing (MLM) strategy using the far-reaching powers of the Internet to build a global network of contributors. While they try to assure potential recruits that this is not a pyramid scheme, they request annual donations of $540 per member (plus a $36 one-time registration fee). Each new member is also asked to recruit three personal contacts, who naturally must also find three new members, so that each person can thus establish their own network that will ultimately result in growing profits for each individual participant.

Here is what their introductory flyer says: "Before the Internet, it was hard to succeed in a traditional MLM business. Even now, you have to be able to sell products and recruit 20, 30, 50 or even 100 or more to achieve substantial success. Network Goodness is not traditional network marketing. Rather, it is the ultimate "Pay-It-Forward" project for two major reasons: 1) No product to sell. Meal Pack is proven. AmeriCares guarantees its delivery. It's a gift of love to the most malnourished. 2) You only need to SPONSOR 3 PEOPLE since the system creates automatic sponsorship."

While this may sound laudable and simple at first glance, the promo flyer also praises (IN BOLD ITALICS) the enormous benefits of network marketing as an "investor's dream... the best-kept secret of the business world... an industry with steady annual growth, healthy cash flow, high return on invested capital, and long-term prospects for global expansion..." (cited from Page 37 of Robert Kiyosaki's book, "The Business of the 21st Century.")

In addition, if you listen to their video clip (www.NetworkGivingProject.net), here are a few juicy explanations that I wrote down from their presentation:
- "To become an emissary of life over the next six months..." (you need to) "...donate 600 PV in XanGo Meal Packs within a period of 12 months to achieve the title of Emisary of Life..." (i.e. through one of the following three plans) ... "1-Time Purchase of 6 meal Packs; Monthly order of 1 Meal Pack for six months; Monthly order of 1/2 Meal Pack for 1 Year (Note: No Commissions are generated w/o 100 PV monthly order."
Conditions for starting: "Get starged for only #36 - 1) join XanGo - $35 - Get NetworkGoodness.org site - $1 First month; 2) 1 Meal Pack ADP (Automatic Delivery Program) - $90 starting next month; 3) Find 3 others within 30 days."
- "You should be self-funding by the time your first monthly ADP order actually hits .."
- Recruitment strategy: "look for people who are warm, open and easy to talk to; people who have good people skills; people who are reliable; people who are coachable; who have a reasonable amount of influence and credibility; and who are industrious, people that are highly-driven..."
- Here's how the money works: find your 3 people in the first month... if you train them well, etc., after a month you will begin receiving a residual income of $15... this will build up each month until, six months later, you will have 600 people working under you and this will bring you monthly a residual income of $5, 595.

So, in summary, there you have it. If this isn't a pyramid scheme, then I don't know what is. What do you think?

Thanks all, for responding and taking the time to check up on these frausds, I believe that the lord works in mysteriuos ways and through my moms death I can do somthing positive and warn other people about miracle juice peddlers and phony caner clinics(Envita) .
Xango does priovide these meal packs in what they call "A for profit charity" I'm not sure what that means but I have some one checking this out. I guess distributers can buy these and they are passed on to starving people around the world. This is very kind indeed and with the amount of money that the Xango founders make(millions$$ per year) that they would need to have a lot of tax write offs.
Xango has been hosting what they call "The Charity Awards" (google Xango Charity Awards)for the past few years. This were they get together and give people awards for giving to charity.
Yes, Xango likes to let everyone know that they give to charity and feed starving people around the world. They even have big awards dinners with 3rd rate celebertiesl like Pat Boone and Ron Paul. Check out some of the photos of these events, there are bottles of Xango everywhere.
This just seems so disengenous that you can't help not hurl, Every one is dressed up in tux'es and slapping each other on the back for being so charitable. Only Xango could come up with somthing this cheesy. I think that they might feel a little guilty making so much money off thier $2.00 placebo juice that they want you to believe that they are so giving to the needy.
Every con man and husller always gives to charrities, Makes them look good, and they know it, some even have a big awards dinner$350.00 a plate), to let all know. Bernie Madoff gave a lot to charrity.

Okay, sorry about these two tests, harleyda. I just registered and wanted to make sure I wasn't writing a long message for nothing. First of all, my condolences for your loss. My mother died of cancer 29 years ago and I still think of her every day, so I can understand a little bit of your pain.
I have read with great interest all your comments on Xango, as I have been approached a few days ago by a gentleman who handed me a brochure called "Network Goodness." On the brochure, there is a picture of a "XanGo Goodness Meal Pack", and there are also two featured websites that explain this MLM concept: www.Ayni.NetworkGoodness.org and www.NetworkGivingProject.net. Both these websites provide short videos explaining the concept briefly and the XanGo product. This is not about any type of grape juice, according to the description. The key claim here, in terms of concept and product, is that the aim is to cure starvation around the world, with this product that consists of a dry powder (just add water) which allegedly contains a potent cocktail of vitamins. I'm skipping details here for the sake of brevity.
I was hoping you might be able to enlighten me about this initiative. Are you aware of this? If you are, is this XanGo completely different from the xango juice thing? I'm extremely skeptical about all this, and Im wondering whether this could be another new scam product initiated by the same people who have been trying to peddle the grape juice for the past nine years. Maybe their juice sales are losing momentum and they've now decided to use another tactic. What better way of luring new recruits than through noble sentiments, such as curing world hunger?
Anyway, if you haven't heard of this thing before, I'm sure you'll take the time to visit the two websites mentioned above, and then you'll be able to tell me what you think. This is why I signed in as "helpmeunderstand." Thank you in advance for your kind attention.

Hi harleyda... testing.

Hi harleeda... testing.

Dear Noneedto knowyourname, Yes Iam going to be rude to you, Xango is junk science, there is nothing there that will help you, It is a PLACEBO diguised as a $38 miracle juice. Please do some research and don't be so gullible! I don't want to get God involved in this but I hope God strikes these evil snake oil peddlers down. My mother chose her own path to treat her cancer and we respected that. But I don't have respect for Dr Fredrick Quackerman for advising her to go to A sham cancer clinic.
What do you want me to do Noneedto know? should I just shut my mouth and be a good little boy . Heck no! I have done extensive research on this scam and I'm warning people. So too bad that you and your cult friends in Xango don't like it.
Maybe God is working through me to warn people. And yes that does give me peace.
Maybe you can get me a job Noneed to know, as a flunky fruit juice peddler like you.
Oh and God bless you too, now get out there and sell that miracle juice! Money, money money $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Harley

Harleyi find it funny you ended your last comment "God Bless". I find it funny because in no way would MY GOD ever talk to someone the way you did! Now I am not saying I agree that Xango "cures" cancer, but I am aware that EVERYONE is different. And JUST because your mom passed away from cancer, that she though and was told Xango would cure, doesn't mean that was the only reason. What kind of cancer did she have? She had it only for a short time. Now call me crazy, but I don't care who you are, if I ever got diagnosed with cancer I wouldn't listen to someone who didn't have proof or facts. If ever ever get diagnosed with cancer, God forbidding, I would do my treatments, kemo, and what not. Then when my dr says "it's not going away" i will then donate myself to a worthy cause, that way maybe the next person will survive. I am sure your mom signed something that stated she knew what she was doing. Do have have absolute proof? Were you with ehr 24/7, did you read everything she signed? did she have an attorny? And you do seem a little angry...were you upset that she did leave you as Power of attorny, i mean you are her child, right? I dont want it to come off rude, but your mom is just ONE person. there are millions of people trying it, like my aunt. Who has never felt better and looks healthier and I WILL get my mom some and have her try it. I know my words dont make sence to you and I am sure you are gonan sit and be rude to me just like you have everyone else. You seem like the type of person that doesn't like when other people voice their opinions. And you just come off as extremly rude, childish, and a bit bored...maybe a job would help all that!
May God send you peace in your heart.

Thank you Kkssldodppga, Thank you for having the guts to post your comment and not be intimidated by these fruit juice phony's
Let's try to keep these ### from fooling more sick people. Thanks K
God bless you K and tell all you know.
Harley.

Hi harleyda
Thank you for the enlightening comments. I was thinking about getting into this "juice" business, but since reading your story, and googling the things you talk about, I'm OUT. I will never get involved in such a scam Thank you for the warning...K

Hey! it's me again, Harley the purple juice scam fighter.
Stothew, just to let you know from an inside source, that Xango's numbers are dropping dramaticly.
Might be the economy or Sherman Unkefers affair with one of his ? or criminal background(google sherman unkefer prison) or that the magicle juice craze is fading out. Or the crazy price they want for mood vitamins. LOL.
Xango does not report its earnings and relies mainly on hype to keep the whole scam afloat, nor does it list the amount of mangosteen in each bottle.
Please Stothew, I beg you to listen and quit this evil company, I'm sorry I called you a fool, But I think in your heart that you know that you are decieving yourself. I wish you were there when my mom said that she "trusted the wrong people" when she was close to deaths door. And those wrong people were Templeman, and and the crappy clinic she went to and Xango.
Go with your heart and not wallet.

Stothew, thank you for your inspiring response. You are right! the money and dream that I so wanted was never achieved in Xango. so all day long I sit in my room and tell everyone that my mother was Sharon Unkefer and lie about the phoney cure all juice.
one day I hope to find purpose in my life and abandon my mission to warn those who are conned and duped into believing $38.oo fruit juice will make them rich and healthy.
The Sherminator is such a wonderful man, I know that when judge Yberra sentenced him to 10 years in prison for fraudulent schemes that she was too bitter and hateful. I think that if eleviv was around back then (google dr Shawn talbott FTC) and she was taking it, he may have only gotten 2 years for stealing over $18 million dollars for running another pyramid ponsie scheme.
I'm realy glad that you "truly laugh" as you say, but I doubt it, you sound like a person who just got into Xango and multi level marketing and is probably paying more to the company than you are taking in.
Stothew, I know you have to pump yourself up everyday and really, really have to make yourself believe that some kooky juice cures all sorts of things.
I have heard it all before in the hate mail I get from you Xombies, and this is why I only get a few fools like you who want to take me on and debate me.
1- First I hear about the miracle's that Xango has done
2- they tell me how sorry they about my mom and feel sorry for me
3-they talk about what a great man sherman unkefer is
4-then it is all about the money,
ya i'm upset that xango didn'y make me rich!
Or your dream is blah blah blah
and more sappy cheey salesman, dream, financial independance crap.
5- then they send me something out of scripture that will make me stop and examine what I am doing and get down on my knees and ask god forgiveness for exposing a bunch of liars, con men and phoney doctors.
Stothew, you are a broken record, I feel sorry for you !that you are involved in this sham and cult and have probably alienated your friends and family. Why not come clean and join me in warning gulible people about these creeps.
Thank you, Harley. harleytcb@yahoo.com

Namyap, better get some tequila and make some margaritas.
Since there were always 20 cases of xango laying around in my moms store room, I decided to see if it would make a good margarita, since I ran out of traditional margarita mix.
And it realy does make a good one.
The only side effect was that I turned into Charlie Sheen.
Don't wait too long, you may wind up in the morgue and the person that told you xango cures cancer will not be at your wake.
Via con dios.
Harley D

Hey Milli, still waiting for your homework to be turned in, I would like to see the results of the human clinical trials of hundereds of people that benefit from Xango and the unknown amout of Mangosteen in each bottle. I hear crickets .

Wow! You are one angry person. Wishing Cancer on someones family. Anyone with brains who
read your comments will know you are simply a lunatic. God Bless

Angry? me, I love a good joke and a laugh. You Xombies are the ones angry at me, speading the truth about your magical snake oil.
All you Xombies seem to be suffering from a form of the Stockholm Syndrome, you know? thats when the captors start to bond with the kidnappers?
You suckers buy this juice or sign up to have it shipped to you for hundreds of dollars a month, then just so you don't feel stupid you have to make believe it cures everything, and start worshiping failed caberet singer Aaron garrity and the Mortons, oh and don't forget my favorite Dr Freddy Quackerman.
But milli, you know whats not funny? It's watching your mom suffer and die from cancer that she thought Xango would prevent.
I agree with you that people should get the facts, then I know they would run from Xango.
There's nothing in life that gives me more peace than, exposing con artists and greedy sales people that will say anything to sell a bottle of fruit juice to sick and ailing people. Nothing new with Xango just the age old traveling medicine show.
And i have a feeling you will be seeing Xango real soon on a network news program exposing ALL THE FACTS. Don't mean to scare you, but thats what these investigative shows do.
And then you might have to take a whole bottle of Dr Talbott's mood altering vitamins so you can have peace Milli Vanilli.
Oh, did you google Dr Shawn Talbott and the Federal Trade Commision. Poor guy lost a lot of money, a vacation rental, and other property for telling lies about supplements. Hmmm sure glad Xango hired him, he's just the type a guy Xango needs over there to boost the sagging sales.
You know that when these MLM companies start loosing money they start to get desperate and concoct more crazy revolutionary wonder vitamins, and face creams and energy bars and so on. Times are tough and people are starting to do thier homework when thier asked to sell thier buddie's $39.00 fruit juice.
All the best, I hope no one in your family gets cancer, and if they do, PLEASE don't call Dr Templeman.

Wow, Harley, you sound really angry, you should try Xango's Eleviv for the tired, stressed and depressed! Xango juice has rid our family of the pain of fibremyalgia, athsma, digestive disorders, PMS and my children and I no longer get sick due to boosted immunties! We Love the product and there is a lot of third party information that is far more credible than your opinion. People should get the facts and make thier own decisions. As for you, you need to let your angry go and move on with your life so that you can find peace, because right now you are just encouraging disease to grow in you.

Xango's doctors not that credible.
If you google Dr Shawn Talbott and the Federal Trade Commision or FTC, you find that Dr Talbott got in a lot of trouble and had to pay thousands of dollars in fines for making false claims about Cortysol.
Dr Talbott works for Xango .
Dr J Fredric templeman has a daughter named Celine, who happens to be married to David Morton, brother of Joe and Gordon morton, founders of Xango.
Dr templeman works for Xango and so does David Morton.
Dr Templeman and Dr morton have both authored books on the healing powers of Mangostine and Xanthones.
Can you trust paid experts to tell you the truth?
Are they experts?

Bill, here are a few more facts.
Sherman cannot have any thing in his name because he does not want to pay $7.5 million in restitution to the victims of his fraud conviction.
He did everything through my mom. I.e(pre paid legal, Matol, Nu Skin)
If you or a relative or friend lost money with Shermans company, North American Coin and Currency, you may not think it is water under the bridge.
I know we all make mistakes, but why travel the world bragging about how much money you make and at the same time fight a restitution order to pay back the ones you robbed. That should tell you somthing about the greed and character of Mr Unkefer.
Here are some more facts Bill, the great paid expert on Xango Dr Templeman and father in law of Xango's founders brother David Morton came out to Scottsdale Az in July of 2008 to take my mother to an alternative cancer clinic called Envita.
Bill, this clinic treated my mother like crap, gave her bottles of vitamin C to take and sadly by the time she realized what a mistake it was to listen to Templeman and that xango really did nothing she was beyond help.
My mother soon went down hill fast, and not one of the great founders of Xango came to the hospital to visit her.
You probably want me to be lieing about who I am because this true story does not fit your image of Xango and Sherman Unkefer, Who I realized what a low down snake that guy really was after my mom died.
Documents were signed by my mother on her death bed and Laundy Unkefer was listed as being the benificiary of LLc'S and other companies in Nevada.
Laundy Unkefer is listed as Daughter in law on my mothers trust. Yes, she was married to Shermans son, Sherman the 4th.
Now Sherman and Laundy are ionvolved in a sexual relationship in wich, cause my brothers and I to be suspiciuos of the documents my mother signed with a signature that resembled a chids, since she was so sick and medicated.
Bill, my mission is to expose these Lies and con artists who prey on people who want to be rich and swallow fruit juice and think it's going to do all sorts of magical things for thier body.I left you my E-mail so and anyone can verify my story, so don't you think you should do this before you call me a liar?
I did see the clip about Xango on "The Doctors show", It was a funny piece about Charlie Sheen and did not mention a thing about the science behind Mangosteen. Because there have not been any real scientific studies done on Xango that can be taken seriously in the medical or scientific community.
There needs to be 100s of people studied not just 40, that were done by Dr J Udani from Medicus(Xango's sponsered study)
Dr Udanis study showed that 180z of Xango a day did have an anti imflammitory effect, but that would cost around $600.00 a month. you could get the same results by taking an asprin each day.
If you look at Xango's chart and Dr Udani's chart on the amount of Xango used each day, you will see that Xango manipulated the numbers to fit its own. More lies.
The Mayo clinic also says there needs to human studies on Mangosteen.ot just test tube or animal studies.
I have no doubt that Xango can pay for a huge study of thousands of people at a reputible research clinic. but I doubt that the end results woul be earth shattering news, and only lack luster conclusions that would show cheaper and better natural cures.
Save the hate mail Bill, I'm just trying to get a little justice for my mom.
All the best.
Harley.

If Sharon Unkefer was indeed your Mother, you left out a few facts. Mr Unkefer was convicted and served his time, water under the bridge as they say. Also she would have been married to him during this ordeal. And the most interesting fact is, it was your mother who was the one who joined Xango in the first place, Not Mr Unkefer. Your entire post is hyperbole and opinion and nothing more. There is much science behind the mangosteen fruit that proves those opinions to be false. Anyone watching the Doctors show tomorrow will see there opinion on Xango on 4/11/11. Check your local listings and do your own due diligence and investigate the truth, not just someone lying about who he is.

My mother was married to the top Xango salesman, Sherman Unkefer for 25 years. He went to jail for artificial schemes in 1989."google sherman unkefer prison"
Me poor old mum drank about 4 bottles of xango a week. She got cancer in July of 08 and died 2 months later. Behind the scenes everyone in Xango will tell you it cures everything.
Since then I have been investigating Xango, its claims, it's spokesman, It's doctors and the juice itself. They are all liars and con men who are making a killing off of $ 38.00 fruit juice with less benefits than most juice's grown here in the U.S.
Please! stay away from these liars.
If anyone wants to verify my story, please feel free to e mail me at harleytcb@yahoo.com

I disagree with the original comment too. For one, the product called Xango juice helped me in three immediate ways: I don 't have restless legs at night, I sleep like a baby now, and I am absent any menstrual cramping. As Dottie posted earlier, the juice helps people in various ways - or not. We are not all identical so the benefits will not be the same.

Bill also posted wise comments regarding the uninformed slammers of this product. Information is valuable when it is gathered - not pulled out to the air Janet.

WOW. What a crowd we have here. First the original comment was totally off the mark. Someone who is making a claim and has no idea what they are talking about. They formed an opinion without ever actually coming into contact with the product. What incredible ignorance. Which explains only 3 negative posts in 2 years.
So on this pathetic thread we have 3 negative posts an 2 positive posts, that is if you count the Xango knock-off salesman from PFT.
If you have come to this thread seeking information about the mangosteen, go to pubmed.gov and do your own research from unbiased medical studies. Don't take anyone's mere opinion. Educate yourself.

The truth is incontrovertible, malice may attack it, ignorance may deride it, but in the end; there it is.

I just want to say that I am sorry for the bad experiences that some people might have experienced with XanGo. I tried it because a friend knew I was constantly in a lot of pain and she thought if it could help me it would be worth the cost. IT DID! Recently I thought I would quit drinking the juice to help us financially. I now regret that decision. I ended up in so much pain, it hurt to walk. XanGo has literally given me my life back. I am still limited in what I can do, but at least I am not in bed 5 days a week any more. I did not get into the business to sell, but I did want to tell everyone I knew about it because if it could do that for me, it may be able to help them too. NO, people should not make ANY promises because the juice works different for anyone. A few people tried it just like I told them too, and unfortunately it did not do anything for them, BUT it has given some people I know a much better life than they had before the juice. I do want to let people know, if you think it will be easy to get people you know to try it...THAT IS NOT TRUE. If you are going to try it to make money, do not expect it to go good. If you are not patient and feel you have people who are interested and willing to work with you to build the business...DON'T GO THERE! I have found that you need help from the people above you and below you and everyone must be willing to work together to make it a go. If you have health issues or just want to feel the best you can feel, I would encourage you to give the juice a try. If you have any health issues you need to stay on the juice for at least three months so your body can get saturated to see any benefits. After three months if you don't feel it is doing anything for you, quick taking it and then you may notice things that were better or not. If you have any questions that I could answer for you, contact me at jrkorpi4@msn.com I would be happy to fill you in.

My mother-in-law got caught up in Xango and the promises they made. She was convinced her cancer would be cured through drinking enough Xango juice. She passed away on Sept. 9th, 2008. My father-in-law is now paying off $1200 of Xango juice on his credit card and a funeral.
I thought it was illegal for a company to make claims that their product can "cure" cancer, but Xango representatives do so regularly in promo and recruitment meetings.

Thank you I thought I was alone. Everytime you looked on the internet for something about Xango you went right to the pages on how to sell. As luck would have it the guy that signed me up came in to my office today. I told him about cancelling Xango. "Oh you should have just called me to cancel it". I told him it would have been nice to know that before. They should let you know when you sign up. Thanks for letting me vent.
