The Perfect System Review: Old-school ebook library pyramid
The Perfect System’s website is a lengthy marketing pitch, supposedly authored by “Bill Anderson”.
On LinkedIn Anderson goes by “William Anderson”. His profile has him operating out of the US state of Georgia.
Anderson (right) runs his various ventures under the branding Network 6000.
On The Perfect System’s website Anderson claims to be a “30+ year marketing expert”.
Based on its website domain and social media profile, I believe The Perfect System originally went by “Simple Cash Daily”.
Outside of The Perfect System I wasn’t able to put together an MLM history for Anderson. This is likely due to the generic name.
Anderson not having an MLM footprint left me skeptical but I’m satisfied he’s an actual person.
Outside of Network 6000 Anderson appears to have made a name for himself in BBQ circles.
Read on for a full review of The Perfect System’s MLM opportunity.
The Perfect System’s Products
The Perfect System has no retailable products or services, with affiliates only able to market The Perfect System affiliate membership itself.
The Perfect System’s Products
The Perfect System has no retailable products or services, with affiliates only able to market The Perfect System affiliate membership itself.
The Perfect System affiliate membership provides access to an e-book library.
The Perfect System’s Compensation Plan
The Perfect System affiliates sign up and pay a $997 fee. They are then charged $40 a month.
The Perfect System takes these fees and uses them to pay recruitment commissions.
Recruitment commissions are paid down two levels of recruitment (unilevel):
- the initial $997 affiliate membership fee generates a 5% commission across two levels (personal recruitment and affiliates recruited by those you recruit)
- the ongoing monthly $40 affiliate fee is paid 40% across two levels
Joining The Perfect System
The Perfect System affiliate membership is $997 and then $40 a month.
Conclusion
From its horrendously long marketing copy to the bundling of an ebook library, The Perfect System hearkens back to ebook pyramid schemes of the late 2000s.
The marketing copy, complete with yellow highlights, is lengthy by design. Anyone who makes it to the bottom of Anderson’s rambling is easy hanging fruit.
The ebook library is a weak attempt at pseudo-compliance.
This is just a two tier commission structure so it is not considered a MLM program.
Because of this and the fact there is a real product, it can never be considered an illegal pyramid scheme.
Members will continue to pay their membership fees because if they cancel their membership, they will not receive their affiliate commissions anymore.
Again, this is the type of pseudo-compliance we’d see back in the late 2000s to early 2010s. The FTC has made it clear that MLM opportunities that don’t generate significant retail sales are pyramid schemes.
By design The Perfect System is a pyramid scheme, with 100% of commissions paid out tied to recruitment.
As for the “it’s not an MLM” hogwash, The Perfect System pays out across two levels. Two is more than one, making The Perfect System a multi-level marketing opportunity.
In addition to being a pyramid scheme, Anderson is also promising The Perfect System affiliates “guaranteed paid signups”. This is another potential violation of the FTC Act (deceptive marketing).
Speaking of the FTC, on The Perfect System’s website Terms and Conditions page, a link to an FTC Disclosure statement is provided.
Buried in that document is this:
If you purchase a business opportunity from Network6000/The Perfect System, your contact information can be disclosed in the future to other potential buyers.
Sounds like a great way to receive spam for the life of your email address.
The same FTC Disclosure statement also warns The Perfect System has no “cancellation or refund policy”.
Once you hand your money over to a pyramid scheme, it’s gone.
Finally Bill Anderson is also using The Perfect System to funnel potential victims into other scams.
Dubbed the “Money Multiplier”, Anderson is currently promoting
- Silver Partners for Profits – $495 “crowdfunding” pyramid scheme run by TJ Rohleder
- Touchstone Success Network – $35 and then $25 a month pyramid scheme run by Danny Pollard
- Icanget2 – $29.95 a month pyramid scheme (reviewed by BehindMLM in 2016, price seems to have gone up)
- 98 Unlimited – $980 a month cash gifting scheme
Like The Perfect System, math guarantees the majority of participants in all of these scams will lose money.
Update 3rd September 2021 – Since this review was published, The Perfect System has been renamed to TPS100.
Owner Bill Anderson has also scrubbed any mention of him from TPS100’s homepage.
Update 23rd April 2022 – At time of this update The Perfect System’s / TPS100’s “simplecashdaily.com” website has been down for over a week.
Readers are reporting non-communication in the comments below so it appears William Anderson’s pyramid scheme has collapsed.
Hello:
Ya’ll should get your facts right… false claims/reviews like this are slanderous and may get you sued.
You did get a few things wrong…
You think all MLMs are pyramid schemes – this is clearly not the case – maybe somebody should shut down Amway.
TPS is not a MLM – I don’t even have a “pyramid” – just a two tier affiliate program.
If affiliate programs are illegal, maybe someone should call Amazon and tell them to close their doors.
And last time I checked, eBooks were real products – Clickbank sells ebooks all day long and makes a ton of money doing it. Besides 95% of our products are NOT eBooks – our product is 100’s of great business plan ideas. Real businesses that I have seen for myself working and making money.
We do have a retail only option that sells quite a bit – of course you ignored that.
Thanks,
Bill Anderson
False.
MLM comp plan = MLM company.
Whether they are or not is irrelevant. Attaching ebooks to a pyramid scheme doesn’t make pyramid schemes legal.
Neither Amway, Amazon or Clickbank are running an ebook library pyramid scheme. And legitimacy via association isn’t a thing in any case.
Which are presented in PDF? Yeah it’s an ebook library.
Correct, because it has nothing to do with the MLM opportunity.
What happened Bill? Less than a month after we expose your pyramid scheme you go and delete your The Perfect System website?
Aww.
To be fair it was a bit of a 1990’s throwback, maybe he’s rebranding soon ™.
When I first read this review, I was reminded of the opening patter of the Sheryl Crow song “All I Wanna Do (Is Have Some Fun)”
[I hope I remembered the words right. I’m not a big Sheryl Crow fan, but I do like that song.]
So I wonder… what did happen to William? Or Bill, or Billy, or Mac, or Buddy? Only two weeks after his strident defense and thinly-veiled legal threats, he pulls the plug?
I wonder if he’s ever had a day of fun in his whole life? [Disclaimer: no I do not wonder that, nor do I care.]
I have to stick up for Bill Anderson on this one. I’ve known him for over three years now and he is the only honest person I have met online.
Whether his program is mlm or not, he’s the only person online that is truly trying to help others at this whole money making thing.
Not sure why you posted above that his website in gone. That’s not true, I log in daily. You should delete that comment. It’s a lie.
One thing Bill does do that others do not, is that he continually makes changes to his program in order to make it the best that it can be. I’ve experienced more than a few changes over the years. All for the better.
I do appreciate you being tough on money making programs and I do visit this site often for your reviews. If you knew Bill personally as I do, you’d be a little easier on him.. lol.
Well then, Bill’s program must not be a pyramid scheme because my money isn’t gone. Many other members are also earning a profit.
In 2020 Bill helped me earn $800 profit. So far for 2021 I’ve earned $1,320 profit. It takes up to one year to start seeing results.
Not game changing income, but Bill never promises get rich quick. I’ve been in this online money making arena for over ten years now and have never earned a profit in any program until I joined Bill’s program. That’s why I’m still a paying member.
I also continue to reach out to as many people as possible and ask them to show me if they’re in profit with their program. So far, not one person can show me that they are actually earning some extra income from other programs.
Bill also offers a service similar to yours. He also investigates other money making programs and determines if they are scams or not. He then posts them in the members forum. Last I checked he has reviewed 78 programs.
I’ve read posts from many members thanking him for saving them thousands of dollars. So the forum is also a valuable service for paying members. I do wish he would put more effort into promoting the members forum.
Knowing Bill, he will not come back here and reply. He has said his peace.
Thanks for your review of his program. I do enjoy reading your all of your posts.
How long you’ve known Bill for is irrelevant. The Perfect System is a pyramid scheme and as the admin, that makes Anderson a scammer.
SimpleCashDaily went down shortly after this review was published. I see now that there’s a new website up you’re here pretending it never went down.
Please, I’m not expecting much from pyramid scammers but blatant misrepresentations aren’t going to get you anywhere.
Regardless of whether you’re able to steal from people who joined after you, the fact is what you paid in was stolen by people who joined the Perfect System before you. I.e. your money is gone.
Whether he does or doesn’t, The Perfect System is a pyramid scheme in which the majority of participants are mathematically guaranteed to lose money.
Whether he does or not, The Perfect System is a pyramid scheme in which the majority of participants are mathematically guaranteed to lose money.
Also Anderson’s Money Multiplier was a list of scams to sucker victims out of even more money.
Anderson’s due-diligence demonstrably doesn’t extend past promoting scams he can recycle existing victims across to steal more money from.
Whether he does or not, The Perfect System is a pyramid scheme in which the majority of participants are mathematically guaranteed to lose money.
So Bill Berg, who are you that we are just to “believe” everything you have said? What credentials do you have that will support us “believing” everything you have said? Who’s going to come and vouch for you like you have for Bill Anderson, and what credentials will they have to prove what they say is true about you?
I haven’t known Bill Anderson for 3 years like you claim, but I do know him and obviously better than you. You see I learned everything I needed to know about Bill Anderson just by reading his post.
You see I know he is full of BS. I knew that with his first three sentences he wrote. in case you missed them, let me quote him:
You see the opening statement claiming that false claims/reviews like this are slanderous and may get you sued. First, it is a veiled threat while trying to sound reasonable. The problem is even deeper and it is this. The review is not slanderous. More importantly if this was a real company, the attorney for the company would have contacted the owner of this blog not Bill Anderson coming here and posting half-truths.
The other major reason why I know he is full of BS is his claim that this is not a MLM program, when its compensation plan is exactly MLM. If Bill doesn’t know he is running a MLM, then he has no clue what isn’t or in this case “is” a MLM company.
Then we had you coming here to prop up Bill Anderson and to again sound reasonable, but all the while doing a lot of talking and just words not based in facts.
Now it remains to be seen who’s next to come and vouch for Bill and his MLM company that is not a MLM company according to him.
Wow… tough crowd. I guess when people are so one-sided, they’ll never be convinced of anything else. I can’t go through life thinking that way.
I like to be more open-minded and positive. It makes for a more enjoyable life.
Good on your for at least acknowledging
a. you don’t think about your victims and
b. you enjoy scamming people out their money.
Best of luck with it.
He refuses to accept ample evidence of an obvious scam, preferring to cling to his own warped world view, then calls all of us one-sided.
Ironic.
What I found funny was his claiming this is a “tough crowd.” I was being “polite” to him. Guess I should have shown him what “tough” really is in Ponzi-land.
Obviously not used to dealing with people that can think and use common sense, and are not gullible sheep hanging on his every word as gospel.
You also know he is new at this since he “gave up” so quickly. Nothing more than a budding wannabe Ponzi pimp.
Pure scam bill or will is full of shit I have been in this program for 7 months 0 sales and his guarantee is a lie.
Stay far away from this scam you have been warned!!!!
I agree with you, Michael. He calls out other scams, when he needs to add his to his own scam list.
Lol I would have been better off, buying Long term stocks.
Well, I’m glad I was able to help someone pay their bills, not a total loss, I suppose.
Aaaaand it’s down again.
#RIP for good this time or another reboot?
5 Garanteed sales within 3 months was what was promised. I was in it 6 months before I pulled the plug.
Asked for my money back and he acted like I was crazy. Stay far away.
He changed the wording on his sales page to make it sound like sales were booming because of covid while emailing us the exact opposite… just a bs sob story from an “expert”.
While many are thriving online because of covid he is struggling to get any sales. Hmmmm.
I joined because a friend recommended and claimed he knew he was a good guy. So much for that. I’m sure he’s also feeling the pain.
The insidious nature of MLM-scams
I have worked with Bill Anderson on a different venture and he is a completely dishonest person who does not adhere to agreements.
Do not work with Bill Anderson as The Perfect System’s MLM is likely a scam.
Hello Bill Berg, when exactly did you come into the system and when did you get your first commission? Just curious.
Tee
Hello OSum, what program did you work with Bill in?
Thanks,
Tee
Review updated to acknowledge Anderson renaming The Perfect System to TPS100.
TPS = an initialism we all know from the movie Office Space.
TPS100 = The model name of a popular treadmill and lots of other products (like a throttle position sensor).
You don’t suppose Anderson is trying to bury his scam system name among a bunch of other Google hits, do you?
By any other name, this scam would smell like shit.
So, Bill is doing something extremely illegal. He is running a pyramid scheme (TPS) while hiding behind TPS 100.
You see 99% of the money he is paying his TPS 100 members with is coming from the current TPS members who still thinks they are going to get paid one day. I was in it for 1 year and never received a dime from TPS!
If anyone is interested in joining the TPS 100 don’t do it because people are going to eventually come to this page and they will hear the truth and not join.
Yep, I was one of those that got suckered in. 18 months in TPS and 7 in TPS100, total outlay of $4000 and made nothing.
Hell, I lost money on Jeff Breakey’s and Lon Linsay’s B.S. programs but at least got a 1% response rate…so it was pretty demoralizing when I sent out 3000 postcards (decent quality, better than 90% of the crap I get in the mail) and scored a big goose egg.
I can’t confirm if some of the ad traffic I bought was actually done as well.
IIRC he stopped supporting/discontinued marketing for TPS and switched gears to TPS100. His emails became few/far between and his tenor changed and threatened to drop people if they call him or TPS a scam.
He had a pretty decent forum until a server crash and was quick to reply to questions and had a fair bit of knowledge about mailing lists.
Point of order: Bill no longer markets 98Unlimited because they don’t have PayPal as a processor and used another one (that according to Bill won’t process your payments and keep your money) but I forgot what it was called.
I actually sent him an “I’m done” email and his reply was to “hold off I got things in coming in”. Whatever.
On the bright side at least Discover is going to be happy for a while and rebuilding my credit is doing well (nothing like having Capital One cancel a card I had for 20 years because I didn’t use it for a year).
Funny bit was is that MatrixProLeads is taking Bills TPS100 postcard idea and running with it ::laughs:: I bet that’s pissing Bill all to hell.
I joined TPS in August, 2020. It’s now 11/23/2021 and I have NO SALES or INCOME from this scammer or his BS program.
Earlier this year I emailed Anderson, requesting a refund since he did NOT deliver on his “guarantee”. He responded there is NO REEFUND.
Isn’t a refund the usual result & definition of the word GUARANTEE? His program and guarantee is worthless!!!
Stay AWAY from anything Bill Anderson is selling as he is a COMPLETE FRAUD & a SCAMMER.
Agreed. I stuck with his cash gifting (because that’s really what it was, although he’ll say his website has digital product although it’s of dubious quality) scheme for too long and recently quit.
Once he stated changing the program and pay plan, quit supporting TPS and launched TPS100, I gave it a shot but totaled up what I spent for zero results and called it quits.
He used to have a forum that I enjoyed but he had a server crash and didn’t intend on replacing it since I was the only one really using it.
Well, he got my COVID money but I opened a new credit card (because I stopped using my Capital One card and they cancelled it since I didn’t use it much) and it pretty much turned me off to doing mail order (unless you’re marketing a physical product).
I feel both of your pain. This guy is even padding his comments on a another scam alert website.
I can tell it is him because I’ve received many email from hime and they all have the same tone and pitch. Such a loser.
Yes, the owner of TPS100 is a straight loser and he will be brought down real soon!
I ordered this system for 495.00 because they had a money-back guarantee if they don’t get you 5 sales.
I tried it for six months and didn’t get one single sale so I asked for my money back then they asked me to give it a little more time and I did, six more months.
So I requested my refund again. They actually told me they did not have the money to pay out refunds and basically told me to go f— myself.
Therefore I will be taking these great bullshit scheme artists to court to get my 495 dollars plus the 600 dollars I paid on the yearly subscription of 50 00 dollars a month.
Fair warning this thing don’t work trust me not Bill Anderson. I’m living proof its a scheme.
I have been working with Bill since November 2021 and he has done everything he says he will.
I have been paid on time every time and I have no complaints with what he is offering right now. This is certainly not MLM or anything like it.
This business is working and I and many others in this are making money.
I posted this so new visitors know that what you are saying about this is not accurate.
Bill is running a pyramid scheme. Whether you’ve scammed people through The Perfect System or not doesn’t change what it is.
“bUt I gOt PaId!” isn’t due-diligence and doesn’t change The Perfect System’s fraudulent business model.
David, it would’ve been nice if you said “I made $545.98 or many of us are making at least 450 a month”.
Can you do that instead of the vague comment “I get paid on time every time”. Sounds like Bill writing.
Anyway he owes several people over $1000. So your pay is coming from someone who is never going to get paid. It’s going to end soon!!
I started in 2020 of June paid 600.00 sub cost of 20.00 a month bought two more in July of 2020 at 1000 each paying 40 a month for each subscription.
Never got one return sale and probably won’t get one. Will stop paying this next pay period after losing 5,000 plus.
Sorry to hee that Thomas. We have got to get this guy out of this space. The only people who are getting paid are the ones who came in at the vry beginning. His program most go!
By theeee ay, I started July 2020 and I pulled the plug July 2021. I couldn’t give hime more than that. A lot of us lost a hefty bit.
Find something more easy to understand.
Hi everyone.
Is there anyone that can help me to get in touch with Bill? If anyone is willing to help me it would be most appreciated really. It seems everything went well for a while we got our commissions but its been 20 days since people got paid.
The website is still live with people signing up but the commissions dont get paid.
Thank you guys.
Yeah mate, your pyramid scheme collapsed.
Bill doesn’t want to be found.
Bill has been in the hospital for weeks with a serious condition. He is going through rehab right now and will be back to work very soon.
Your questions or concerns will be addressed very soon. Please give him time to recover.
Chronic scamophrenia and/or scamcer claims another victim.
Is there a fundraiser we can not donate to?
@Mal:
SCAMVID-19, maybe?
That is not an excuse. What kind of business has only one person running it when it’s this large. He even pushes back payment to the following week when he goes on vacation.
He deceptive tactics are coming to an end. Be glad you made something and get out asap!!
Bill Anderson is an honest businessman. I made a $90 commission that went directly into my PayPal account after my first month in the program. Which makes TPS100 the first home based business that I have ever made a dime with!
This site Behindmlm.com is telling nothing but a bunch of lies on an excellent business opportunity that has ever worked for me!
Whether you made money in a pyramid scheme or not doesn’t change it being a pyramid scheme.
Honest businessmen don’t run pyramid schemes. Scammers do.
Bill Anderson is a scammer running a pyramid scheme. And you profited on someone getting sucked into it. That’s the reality you’re celebrating.
Also, there are still people who have paid in 1000’s of dollars and been with the system for over a year and haven’t made a dime.
You should not be happy making 90 dollars while others are losing 1000’s.
So Curt and David when is Bill going to be back then as there are people relying on him and trusted him? Is he going to be MIA again for another month?
People trusted this system even people who used there last few bucks to try and make a living and so far he failed them.
I joined this program in May of 2020 for $497 and a $20/mo subscription. Like everyone else, I was promised 5 sales.
As of this writing, April 5, 2022, I’ve not received a dime.
The program has changed numerous times since I joined. Numerous excuses of why things aren’t working, the elections, covid, slow economy, time of year, you name it. The fact of the matter is, it just isn’t working.
I’m a business person and know sometimes things just don’t work out as planned, that’s biz 101.
I took the gamble and thought it would work, so it didn’t, but I only lost maybe around $1000. Oh well, stuff happens, not a big deal.
The thing that has pissed me off is I have tried numerous times to cancel my monthly subscription and Bill keeps running my card. That’s unacceptable and makes me feel like he’s no better than any of the other scammers out there.
I finally ending up placing a charge back with my card provider and cancelling my card so he’d quit running these monthly charges. That has been a total inconvenience and waste of my time.
I joined the end of January, have made 3 payments and have no responses.
I used to get responses to my emails to Bill, but nothing in over a month.
I also tried to cancel and he is still running my card! Not a happy camper.
I even asked him in an email what happens if something happens to you and he told me he has others working with him and there would be no interruption…. All BS I guess!
I’ve noted the “simplecashdaily.com” website has been down for over a week.
Looks like it’s over, sorry for your loss.
Today, I pulled the plug after six months when I discovered that, not only is the site down, but the URL is available.
Seems like we could at least get a bar-b-que ebook as a consolation prize???
Hey Nathan, I pulled the plug too, but they kept running my card anyway.
I would suggest cancelling your card now and get a new one or you may find yourself in the same boat as I did paying for a couple of months of nothing until I cancelled my card.
Thanks R Rice – I did it via PayPal.
