[edit] Ad article?

To me, this article looks a lot like an ad. I think I even tagged it as a stub incorrectly. Can someone do some research on this "organization" and do a cleanup on this article? Come to think of it... if it turns out to be an ad, you just might want to delete the article entirely and wait until a legitimate entry about the company turns up. It looks like this article was created by an employee themselves.

[edit] MLM

They take your money for a distributor program of a product that does not work to save you fuel,it's called an MPG Cap. They want you to sell distributor programs ,not the product. Then you are suppose to make money off of the disributor programs you sell.

Then they set you up on an auto-ship program to where you are automatically sent the product for your own use,which who wants it any way.But that is suppose to build up a buyer volume that your suppose to make money off of,This would be after the fact that you already set other people up on a rip-off program

[edit] Removed this from 'See Also'

I took this out of the See Also section, it is undetailed, out of place, POV.

Rebuttal: This customer quickly got to a 17% MPG increase and became a distributor whose mileage has held steady at 27, up from 23, for about 18 tank-fulls now....that's a 17% increase, more than the guarantee offered.

[edit] Lack of NPOV

This is nothing but an ad for a pyramid scheme. Selective quotes, lack of independent double-blind tests, obvious conflicts of interest by contributors. I think the whole article should be dumped, but maybe let's see if it can by made more even handed.--Dmol 07:49, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

Your unsourced POV is noted; however, that is not a valid basis for a NPOV tag. The article is balanced, sourced and skeptical of FFI and their product. How you can see anything else (after removing the testamonials) is beyond me. Also this is a pyramid scheme only if there is no product, or the product is bogus. - RoyBoy ⁸⁰⁰ 17:58, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Ad in article?

gasfood is a registered distributor of FFI. Please consider removing this website reference from the article. thinksmart is another registered distributor. Removed from reference list. Moderators, please consider blocking their address.

[edit] Scam?

This company seems to be associated with this Bob Pearson featured in this blog (http://www.bewareofbobpearson.blogspot.com/) and on NBC CHANNEL 5 News Story.

HERE IS A SAMPLE OF ONE OF BOB'S MLM SOLICITATION LETTERS:

Dear Past Associate, If you are receiving this letter then you have been involved with me in a past company. I have kept your information in the event that one day a program would come along that would cause me to walk away from a very lucrative salary in an industry that I have been in for the past 35 years, insurance. Well it has. As some of you know, that know me, I hit the financial “Home Run” in the mid-90’s with a direct sales company that sold gold coins. I earned more money in a two year period than I have earned in my best 5 years in the Insurance business. After that run was over I thought that it would be that easy to make money in any “Direct Sales” company. Boy was I wrong. What I did learn is that “Timing” is the most important thing in this business. After that you must have a product that everyone will buy and a pay plan that will not “FLUSH” 90% of your sales just to make the owners of the company rich. I was first approached about a year ago to get involved by the man that is now the top money earner of the company and told him in no way am I interested, I am done with direct sales companies and my insurance business is going better than ever. He respected my wishes and didn’t push me. WORST MISTATE I HAVE EVER MADE IN MY LIFE!!! The company is FUEL FREEDOM INTERNATIONAL, who in only one year in business has rewritten the record books on the direct sales industry by marketing a product called the MPG-CAPS. This company in now in over 120 countries and has the marketing plan, the internet tools and the pay plan that will allow anyone, whether they can sell or not, to make more money than they ever thought possible.

[edit] Spam or Scam or Real Cents?

I'm not sure which, if any, are relevant to this particular organization / product. I do know one things for sure ... Canada isn't allowed to "play" yet... Seems that there is no real date as to when they can ensure that we can do anything more than help them market here ... It appears as though there is some question as to whether the pill is effective or not. In spite of representatives (or the one we spoke to) inability to produce the product itself for retail sale in Canada he was also "unaware" that there were restrictions of any kind in place.

I deffinately got the feeling, after a couple bours of research and some long distance calling that this 'project' is one you want to spend some REAL time researching before you hand over your sin number and a payment of any type... Might even be worth give'n it some time to develope ITSELF ... Mom says... IF it seems to good to be true... It probably is. RycrocksRycrocks 02:09, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
