A lot of people I know have been approached about Quixtar and most of them have had that same nagging feeling that I had. It sounds interesting, but somthing about it is just off. They sometimes heavily promote themselves as a christian company, which does work witht that market. I am all for family values and staying home to spend time with your family if you can, but what's the point if you go broke just trying to make it in their company?

Here is a list of MLM to at least be wary of (many of them are those infomercials that come on at night):

A friend of mine was involved in Nutrition For Life, Intl back in college -- he was convinced by Kevin Trudeau's salesmanship that he would become rich selling these nutritional lifestyle products and he too went to a lot of "motivational conferences" that cost a lot of money. A friend he really trusted got him into; they were both debators and very persuasive people, he eventually realized how much money he was losing and gave it up. He is now an investment banker
