Fun Saver Network Review: Ecommerce ruse pyramid scheme
Fun Saver Network operates in the ecommerce MLM niche. The company fails to provides a corporate address in Tennessee on its website.
Heading up Fun Saver Network is CEO Shane Hendrix.
Other than his name and title, no information about Hendrix is provided on Fun Saver Network’s website.
In an August 2024 Fun Saver Network marketing webinar, Hendrix claimed he had “thirty years of network marketing” experience.
I was unable to verify that claim. In fact Hendrix doesn’t appear to have an MLM digital footprint whatsoever, which is odd.
Prior to Fun Saver Network Hendrix was running something called “5PC Global”.
5PC Global’s website has been abandoned but, as far as I can tell, 5PC Global sold digital marketing services to Hendrix’s MLM downlines.
5PC Global appears to have had its own income opportunity attached, Five Point Share. Through Five Point Share, Hendrix pitched consumers on “6 figures in 12 months”:
5PC Global appears to have launched circa 2020.
Based on marketing videos found on a rebranded Fun Saver Network Vimeo channel, I believe Hendrix has promoted Nowsite, Against All Odds and Govvi,
Fun Saver Network’s website domain (“funsavernetwork.com”), was registered in July 2023. The private registration was last updated on July 6th, 2025.
Read on for a full review of Fun Saver Network’s MLM opportunity.
Fun Saver Network’s Products
Fun Saver Network has no retailable products or services. Fun Saver Network’s products and services are only purchasable by its promoters.
Fun Saver Network’s ecommerce platform combines rebranded 5PC Global marketing products with third-party product offerings.
Fun Saver Network’s rebranded 5PC Global products are sold to market Fun Saver Network itself.
Pretty straight forward and clearly aimed at people promoting online businesses (*winkwink*).
Fun Saver Network’s website “shopping area” presents three options; drops, fun finds and mart:
Clicking drops presented me with the option to purchase a “double face wool cape” or women’s one-piece bathers.
Fun finds appears to be a typical white labeled product range from an undisclosed third-party network:
Mart was… more of the same (???):
While the pricing differs, most of the products featured appear to be sourced from Chinese dropshippers:
Finally Fun Saver Network also charges for access to “private apps” for $5.95 a month:
- free Fun Saver Network promoters have access to one $5.95 a month app
- Pro Fun Saver Network promoters receive free access to two apps
Other than claiming the apps provide access to “private coupon discounts” and “cashback”, Fun Saver App doesn’t disclose anything further.
Fun Saver Network’s Compensation Plan
Fun Saver Network promoters sign up for free (Freemium) or $25 a month (Pro).
Fun Saver Network’s compensation plan pays on Pro promoter recruitment and product purchases by recruited Freemium and Pro promoters.
Fun Saver Network Promoter Ranks
There are four promoter ranks within Fun Saver Network’s compensation plan.
Along with their respective qualification criteria, they are as follows:
- Member – sign up as a Fun Saver Network promoter
- FSN Duo – recruit and maintain two promoters
- FSN Trio – recruit and maintain three promoters
- FSN Pro-5 – recruit and maintain five promoters
Product Bonus
Fun Saver Network pays on product purchases by recruited promoters:
- $5 or less product order pays 50 cents per product ordered
- $5.01 or more product order pays $1 per product ordered
Product Bonus Matching Bonus
Fun Saver Network pays a Matching Bonus on the Product Bonus earned by personally recruited promoters.
- Pro promoters who recruit and maintain five Pro promoters receive a 25% Matching Bonus
- Pro promoters who recruit and maintain ten Pro promoters receive a 50% Matching Bonus
Recruitment Commissions
Fun Saver Network promoters earn Pro recruitment commissions down three levels of recruitment (unilevel):
- $12.50 per Pro promoter recruited on level 1 (personally recruited promoters)
- $2.50 on level 2
- $0.25 on level 3
Coded Bonus Recruitment Commissions
Pro promoters who recruit three Pro promoters qualify for Coded Bonus recruitment commissions.
Coded Bonus recruitment commissions are paid as $5 a month, taken out of recruited Pro promoter’s monthly $25 fee.
The reason three recruited Pro promoters are required, is because each Pro promoter must pass up the Coded Bonus recruitment commission from their first two recruits.
In turn, recruited Pro promoters also pass up Coded Bonus recruitment commissions from their first two recruits.
The Coded Bonus is paid on all Pro promoters paying $25 a month. Thus if downline promoters are not qualified for Coded Bonus recruitment commissions, recruited uplines are able to pick up new recruits.
Residual Recruitment Commissions
Fun Saver Network pays residual recruitment commissions via a 3×10 matrix.
A 3×10 matrix places a Fun Saver Network promoter at the top of a matrix, with three positions directly under them:
These three positions form the first level of the matrix. The second level of the matrix is generated by splitting these first three positions into another three positions each (nine positions).
Levels three to ten of the matrix are generated in the same manner, with each new level housing three times as many positions as the previous level.
Residual recruitment commissions are paid on direct and indirect Pro promoter recruitment into the matrix.
- Members earn 50 cents per Pro promoter recruited into the matrix down five levels
- FSN Duo ranked promoters earn $1 per Pro promoter recruited in the matrix down seven levels
- FSN Trio ranked promoters earn $1 per Pro promoter recruited into the matrix down nine levels
- FSN Pro-5 ranked promoters earn $1 per Pro promoter recruited into the matrix down ten levels
Residual recruitment commissions are tied to ongoing $25 a month fees charged to recruited Pro promoters. As such Fun Saver Network pays out residual recruitment commissions monthly.
Joining Fun Saver Network
Fun Saver Network promoter membership is either free or $25 a month.
- Freemium – no cost
- Pro – $25 a month
Full participation in the Fun Saver Network’s MLM income opportunity requires a Pro $25 a month membership.
Fun Saver Network Conclusion
Despite offering a ton of third-party products and rebranded 5PC Global marketing services, Fun Saver Network doesn’t actually sell anything to retail customers.
Typically in an MLM company a “free” tier would be the retail tier, but in Fun Saver Network the free membership option is a marketing tool for Pro Membership.
As stated by Fun Saver Network promoter Ron Pruett on an official June 29th corporate Fun Saver Network presentation;
So Fun Saver Network, we’ve tapped into that. We’ve tapped into the Freemium category, where we let people shop, we let ’em save, we let ’em share, and I’ll explain what that means – because free people here can share and get paid.
You can share on the free level and then we give them a compelling reason to level up. Become a [Pro] member.
In fact by its own admission, ideally everyone in Fun Saver Network signs up as a $25 a month Pro promoter and recruits five $25 a month Pro promoters.
This is further reflected in Fun Saver Network’s compensation plan, wherein the bulk of commissions and bonuses are tied to Pro Promoter recruitment.
The focus on recruitment over retail makes Fun Saver Network a pyramid scheme.
As with all MLM pyramid schemes, once promoter recruitment dries up so too will commissions.
This will see those at the bottom of Fun Saver Network’s pyramid scheme stop paying $25 a month.
This in turn will see promoters above them stop getting paid. Unless new recruits are found fast, eventually these promoters will also stop paying $25 a month.
Once enough Fun Saver Network promoters stop paying $25 a month, an irreversible collapse is triggered.
Math guarantees that when a pyramid scheme collapses, the majority of participants lose money.
Brilliant breakdown as always, Oz — thank you for pulling apart the Fun Saver Network with such surgical precision.
Your deep dive into Shane Hendrix’s mysterious MLM past (or lack thereof) and the rebranded 5PC Global junk is exactly what the public needs to see.
I recently attended one of their Zoom calls (yes, they’re actively recruiting), and I published my own exposé on how the pitch actually plays out in real time.
It’s everything you’d expect: vague promises, awkward silence from confused prospects, and pitchmen like Bob Bearden and Skip McCoy desperately trying to keep the dream alive. No mention of customers. No genuine product enthusiasm. Just a funnel into the $25/month Pro tier.
Here’s the video + blog I posted for added context:
dehek.com/general/ponzi-scheme-scamalerts/fun-saver-network-zoom-call-melts-down-as-mlm-pitchmen-get-exposed-for-pushing-scam-products/
Also worth noting: the Freemium model is just a Trojan horse to make the pay-to-play model feel “optional” when in reality, the entire comp plan is rigged for Pro promoter recruitment. Classic pyramid structure hiding behind a discount gimmick.
Glad to see you exposing this. Together we can make sure fewer people fall for the recycled affiliate nonsense wrapped in MLM buzzwords.
Opinions… (Ozedit: derails removed)
I have been a member of this company since they started in 2024 and I can tell you personally that they are great people and go out of their way to make sure their customers and members are happy with their orders and always looking for ways to give more back to the members through the commission plan or added benefits.
I would be a paid member whether there was a commission plan or not, and so would tons of people I know that love to shop and save. Your own screenshots from the same bag on Shein for $44 and Fun Saver for $6 proves right there the great value in being a member!!
1) NO Products are sourced and drop shipped from China, Temu, Alibaba, etc. Stop listening to D.D.H. All the Fun Finds, Drops, Health & Wellness, physical digital marketing tools and FSN swag are all shipped directly from Fun Saver Network located at 3711 Calhoun Ave, Chattanooga, TN 37407.
Stop by during business hours, they would welcome a visit to their nearly 40,000 sq ft facility of offices, warehouse and production space! We have members that have actually been there and toured the facility and taken pictures of the inventory and shipping areas.
2) The RETAIL physical products in Fun Finds & Drops are overstocks, returns, undeliverable shipments, discontinued, store closeouts, store closings, etc. They buy truckloads of pallets at a time and sort, price and sell to Free and Pro members.
They come from Amazon, Target, etc. They have also purchased whole shoe stores that were closing and liquidated the shoes in the Fun Finds & Drops at amazing prices.
3) The RETAIL physical products in the Health & Wellness section, that you conveniently overlooked, are purchased by FSN directly from the Manufacturer/Formulator and the weight loss product has be licensed to Fun Saver who personally has it manufactured direct with a formulator and marketed as the original product it was in the Mid-2000’s.
4) The digital marketing products sold under one of Mr. Hendrix other company’s, 5PC Global, are physical RETAIL products shipped directly from them as well and available to FREE & Pro Members.
Bump cards and bump rings are physical products. There are also digital tools such as CRMs, website builders, funnels, etc.
5) There are also RETAIL Custom Printed promotional products for your business or other companies that want their logos/name on promo items to giveaway to their customers. This is also a RETAIL physical product and available to FREE & Pro Members.
6) There are other service based benefits as well, like a discounted telemedicine plan, (2) FREE apps for Pro Members: a Savings app & a Cash Back app, and both are awesome and I have used them too many times to count and saved a ton and got instant cash back of over $50 in the first month or so, which doesn’t count the discounts from the savings app at national chain restaurants and stores.
There is also a grocery/gas portal coming for convenient access to deals when you are grocery shopping.
7) Soon they are launching a business management platform for members that own other businesses and want to manage customers, leads, build funnels and websites, with email and text options as well. This is a FREE benefit for Pro Members.
8) Your statement that you cannot purchase physical products without promoting the opportunity is 100% wrong. You are never required to share the opportunity in order to purchase anything!
You are never required to purchase anything in order to share the opportunity either. Free & Pro Members get paid on product purchases by their personally enrolled members, whether their members are free members or Pro Members. There is No “Pay to Play” affiliate fee like most of the other Membership business model companies out there either.
There are also no “quotas” to meet on product purchases in order to earn a commission in the matrix, coded bonus, fast start, product bonus or check match. They have continually evolved and tweaked things since inception to make sure they are compliant according to the FTC regulations.
The CEO does not and will not be involved in anything that is less than 100% legal and I know that for a fact. He hasn’t been in business almost 40 years with multiple successful businesses and nearly 1 million customers on file for those business by being shady or non-transparent!
As far as Zoom meetings and Savings vs. Earnings presentations, those Zooms have changed since Aug 2024 as well to make it clear to members and potential members what the membership is about and how they can save, but then also how they can share and earn if they so choose. There is not more focus on one over the other.
Fun Saver Network has 3-4 times or more the Free Retail members that it has paid Pro Members. It is a legally established LLC in Tennessee.
The physical address is all over the web: 3711 Calhoun Ave, Chattanooga, TN 37407 and the CEO, Shane Hendrix is in his mid 50’s and owns many businesses, including the original business he started when he was 17yo.
He is a well respected business owner in his area and beyond and in his industry and has helped tons of people. He employs dozens of people at all of those businesses in and around Chattanooga.
He is very modest and humble and does not boast about what he owns or does, so of course you won’t find tons of information about him.
I also have been in several NWM/MLM’s over the past 20+ years, with zero history of me associated with any of them found on the web. That does not make me invisible, not real or dishonest.
I would really encourage you look at companies with less of an accusing eye and to be unbiased, as not all are bad or doing things wrong. The bad characters in this industry are the ones that need targeted, not honest hard working individuals and their companies like Fun Saver Network.
I do appreciate what you do with your reviews and website, when called for and accurate. Thank you for that!
Easy to say when there’s only promoter options.
Or that Shein has an even bigger markup on a “made for pennies” trash tier product?
There’s literally an example provided in the review (the Shein bag).
Right, and where do you think Fun Saver Network sources the products from?
You don’t have retail customers in an MLM company in which everyone is a promoter able to earn commissions.
There are two Fun Saver Network membership options, both of which earn commissions. That makes them MLM promoters.
As per the FTC’s Vemma and Herbalife cases, MLM promoters are not retail customers. Fun Saver Network has no retail customers.
The FTC has repeatedly confirmed through litigation that an MLM company without retail customers is a pyramid scheme.
If you can earn commissions you are not a “retail member” (customer). As per its business model, Fun Saver Network has no retail customers.
All over the web except where it matters, Fun Saver Network’s website.
Being in an MLM company is different to running one. The onus is on MLM company owners to disclose their backgrounds to consumers so that they can perform informed due-diligence.
This falls under disclosures in the FTC Act.
Everybody loves BehindMLM, until we review your company.
