Pure Leverage – Scam Review 2016
Pure Leverage – Yet another typical MLM Scam?
Pure Leverage is MLM program launched in 2013. It’s also part of an umbrella company called GVO (Global Venture Opportunities) that was founded in 1999 which provides hosting services & autoresponder.
In short – Pure Leverage program is described as means to help you to make money online regardless of your level of expertise or previous marketing experience. Ironically, it’s actually not the case at all.
Pure Leverage claims to be the only program you’ll ever need to make money online. They offer you “all-in-one” tool set through multiple upsells that does the work for you to build your business.
What they actually offer you is a set of basic tools that work but do not fit together very well.
Their main focus is to funnel you into buying their “tools” so you can create your own downline structure by selling Pure Leverage tools to other people.
Yes, it’s one of those Multi Level Marketing companies. The list of tools includes coaching program, lead capture system, autoresponse & video email services, video conferencing & authority blog.
It’s safe to say it’s regular MLM with one main difference of being lower in cost compared to other similar MLM programs.
Pure Leverage - Ranking 20 out of 100
Pros & Cons with Pure Leverage
- Basic tools & guide that teaches you how to leverage your business
- Lower cost than most similar MLM schemes available online
- Program claims 100% commission payout every step – It’s actually for first month only
- Many parts of programs are listed but not available yet + outdated tools
- Founder has aggressive demeanor – For criticism you can be threatened with legal action
- False claims & blunt lies offered by affiliate program reviews that are often delivered in angry & complaining manner.
- Expect over 50 spam mails in your e-mail inbox in fist month, that are trying to upsell their products
- Poor support system – Expressing issues towards the system means that you should likely get ready to be publicly called out & verbally attacked, even by owner itself.
- Targets inexperienced users – PL is using stereotypical MLM style approach by using “dream card” & “easy way out” solution that promises you instant riches
- Additional costs a ka hidden fees – They let you in on low price point & then start overloading you with multiple new costs
How much does it cost to join Pure Leverage?
- Basic membership – $24.95 per month
- Reseller Fee – $19.95 per month
- VIP membership – $97 per month
Thanks for the informative review, I will not ever be looking to get involved in this program now. It is quite insane that the owner would threaten someone with legal actions, that is quite childish and the man should learn to take some constructive criticism. Overall I can see that this program does not have the best interests of my success in mind.
It’s regular path of MLM marketers – They’re victims who are becoming victimizers
If you don’t agree with them, if you don’t buy from them.. you’re instantly waste of time = their enemy
Those more established, are effectively covering up their emotions erm.. their fat lies..
Rest of the pattern remains same.
I love the guy standing next to the red sports car – probably rented it out for the day just for that banner!
Yeah I’ve heard of this lot before – they are blatant scammers and have been for quite some time now.At the end of the day – how many successful internet marketers do you know who own fast cars and mansions???
Well said – Rented cars, planes, mansions.. yes, you name it
..or in some case even more: Just edited pictures.
That’s one of those typical “dream cards” they try to sell to inexperienced users.
It’s usually very first strong sign of a poor business – Their business success entirely relies on bragging how successful they are. They aren’t.
Successful marketers don’t have to brag about anything..
The video immediately shows up several red herrings – there’s no mention of what products you’re actually selling – because there is none!
It’s a pure and blatent pyramid scheme – AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE.
Any make money online scheme that makes money simply by referring others is not a legitimate business model.
Simon,
That’s as far as they usually tend go – It’s a mere attempt to look like the real thing but they’re not.
Did you notice that there’s also a small yet very important psychological trick attached to that video?
Yes, it’s like watching a cartoon – Most people let their guards down INSTANTLY if someone shows them something “childish” – People will lose their state of seriousness for brief moment!
Cartoons are perfect for that, an excellent way to deliver your message!
Unfortunately, if the message itself is a scam in disguise, it can & likely will do some damage along the way to those unaware.
Keep your guard up & stay safe!

We are in a pretty similar niche and it was pretty refreshing to read someone else’s idea on creating something that they are passionate about and generating revenue from it. Do you have any specific tools or references for people that know what there passion is, but maybe can’t find an affiliate option?
Hey Albert,
Finding an affiliate option will be easy.
You can never go wrong with Amazon – There’s always something in it for everyone.
You can join it for free & there are hundreds of thousands of products that you can promote.
And of course… our good old friend Google always helps us out: Type in your niche + affiliate programs & there you have it.
Tons of ideas as well as opportunities.
Cheers,

Hi There, thanks for such a detailed review on Pre Leverage. This program seems terrible! Partnering with a Multi-Level company is a ticket to failure because you are basically working and giving money from your own pocket to people on the top levels.
The upsells are horrendous and it’s highly unlikely that people make money on the first month with their websites.
There are much better alternatives. People don’t need to partner with a MLM company to get started online. This is completely unnecessary.
The free membership at WA is much better than the paid version of pure leverage. That’s for sure!
Stefan,
One thing is our opinion, the other is statistics – Only 1% of people succeeds!?
Yes, you’re absolutely right, MLM is a big gamble with your money in most part.
Pure Leverage is one of those places.
Almost everything talks against such campaigns.
Wealthy Affiliate – One of the few places where you won’t waste your time nor money.
No need to take risks if there already is a legit way.
Thanks,
Henry
Thanks for sharing this page, it is a shame that so many people are trying to get rich quick by promising you the same, and we are so tempted that we end up being the losers. i like the expression that the more you are willing to give the more you will get.I have stated over and over that one of the reasons we can’t fix the problem of economic imbalance is that everybody is hoping to walk the same road so why block it.Oh for a better world and high ethics.
You’re welcome Courtney,
I can relate to this expression, there’s a lot of truth in it.
Some people simply don’t want to believe that there is only one big secret for success – Hard work
Thanks for taking your time to share your thoughts!
