Firsthand Experience in the Burnlounge Scam

NOTE: this was not written by the founder of the blog, but rather by a reader.

I'm one of the many who were "in" BurnScam at the beginning and I am now very happily OUT of the very clear Ponzi scheme. (It took me 21 e-mails and threatened lawsuits and an e-mail exchange with an alleged Vice-Pres of the company to actually GET out ... but that's another story).

More people need to exposing this scam. You've got the right idea: nobody, and I mean nobody, is ever going to make money selling products; the only earning potential is through the chain-letter effect of scamming the suckers beneath you.

An idea: challenge anyone who finds your blog to show you their actual numbers. Good luck! I haven't seen a Burnmelounger yet who will do it!

Every single burnscammer has either 1) made no money at all, or 2) got in early enough and scammed enough of their friends and family to make some money working it like a chain letter - but none of them made money selling music.

By the way, before I got the hell out of this Ponzi scheme, I had 36 people beneath me (I got in all the way back in January). Of those 36, 35 had not even come close to making their money back. One guy, who I directly signed up, had worked his ass off for 6 months ... and made a grand total of $900. Minus the $440 'mogul + university.' Minus $14.95 per month. Minus all the money he spent going to Vegas and going to weekly meetings. In other words - he probably lost more money than anyone.

And of those 36 people, the entire downline sold less than FIVE DOLLARS worth of music. In six months.

Keep preaching the truth, brother. Maybe you'll spare a few suckers from wasting their time and energy.

You're more than welcome to reprint my words.

However, you do owe me 5 cents. Should you reprint them, you owe me an additional 5 cents.

Also, you can let your friends and family reprint them, too ... but they'll all owe me 2 cents.

If their friends reprint my brilliant prose, they'll owe me some fraction of 2 cents or 5 cents. A little foggy on that.

However - and here's where it gets exciting! - if you get your friends and family "in on the ground floor" of this exciting opportunity to reprint my words - you can make MILLIONS! Get in now!

YES, I want to see a screen shot of your BMS page. Where can we see it?

Can't wait. And that 10k is mostly from album sales, as required by the FTC?

Let us know. Awesome. Somebody showing their numbers!

I am an artist. I put my music up on burnlounge. Before that happened I made back my investment in 3 days. I promote my site to my fans at shows and they download music from me. I have been successful with burnlounge. Sure, not everyone will do well with it, and in some way shape or form that happens in all businesses, but I think for the most part the structure is there. Sure, it is a MLM program and yes you get headhunting fees, but the bottom line is the company sold more albums last month than I-Tunes regardless if the owners bought them or not. This might be around in five years or it might not, but I'm not waiting 5 years to get in.
In Jan, they will be the only site to sell all forms of digital media from the same place. Thats pretty big.

THESE PEOPLE WHO FAILED SHOULD HAVE NEVER GOTTEN IN, ONE MUST BE OF AN ENTREPANURAL SPIRIT AND BELIEVE IN A DIGITAL FUTURE, AND NOT BE AFRAID TO SUCEED. LOSERS ALWAYS WANT TO BLAME SOMEONE ELSE, NEVER THEIR OWN INEPNESS. THEY NEED AN 8TO5 JOB PULLING THE CRANK SOMEWHERE. FROM WHAT I READ THEY HAD NOT A CLUE HOW BL OPERATES, THEY MUST HAVE WANTED AN INVESTMENT THAT WOULD MAKE THE LOTS OF MONEY QUICK, WE DONT NEED THEIR KIND INVOLVED, WHOEVER SIGNED THEM UP WERE NOT VERY SELECTIVE.
