VRS Vlog #3: Purple and Maria | SignCasts

And to make it worse, trust me, there are more stories about Purple that doesn't even involve Datastar.
They started illegal conference calls until they stopped last fall. However, one of my close friend, who is still a purple rep, recorded all the conference call through video. He showed me a few of them which I was shocked to see what they were doing in conference call. One video showed that Andy Lange was the moderator of the meeting and he talked about football for half hour to group of reps instead of discussing purple business. Also, the District Managers of Purple would talk about the same topic everyday with almost same rep. Another rep told me that the conference call was so boring that he had to watch tv at the same time. Reps were paid $20 everytime they participated the conference call. Thank god that FCC told them not to do them anymore. If you look at purple.net and go to purple's stock market chart, they dropped from $5 a share to .25 cent per share after the conference call scam was dropped.
I'm bewildered Purple did business with Data Star in the first place. This is the crux of my thinking. Purple pumped business in their veins and got out of Data Star's bed when the former had nothing to lose. This is what Purple is known for--mastering the art of saving face. It's no accident they're losing executives and employees not to mention trading on pink sheets nowadays. If Purple are what they say they are they'd be second to none dusting the competition. They're not and it's not happening. I know about Jerry Nelson and his consulting work with The Master Group some years ago. How do I know? I learned John Yeh's Viable Technologies (not to be confused with Viable Communications) used one of Master Group's grants as template for one of its own from the Department of Education's Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program. How ironic! Remember MVP which is technically vaporware to many people? MVP stands for Manipulating Vulnerable People. I can't trust providers unless they disclose minutes they generate monthly. As long as surcharges funds the industry their businesses needs to be made known to the public. No kidding here!
