is quixtar and its products a fraud?

No. It is an offshoot or maybe a name change of a legitimate 50 year old US company. If it was a fraudulent business it would have been shut down years ago. By the way the former name of this company was AMWAY. Ever heard of it? The original CEO and primary stockholder is Rich Devos. He is the owner of the "Orlando Magic" NBA basketball franchise. This is all as legitimate as any company in America.

This site is a nice, shiny ad, with a picture of a man standing in front of what appears to be an ICP-MS.  There is no explanation of what "Xytos" actually is, and the site actually says on it, at one point:  "There is little downside other than a possible waste of money and time"\n\nI think this is more of an effort to interest potential investors than it is an effort to address the needs of people with cancer.  For some reason that leaves a bad taste in my mouth.\n\nMaybe they are genuine, but they obviously haven't hired a marketing person who knows anything about cancer.

quixtar was formally Amway, if u decided to joint, make sure you start as a part time work. Products from Amway. are no doubt high quality, the pricing for the product are high as well and  the profit margins for distributors are very low, a lot of networking are require to establish a business like that. The marketing sounds really good, however you have to sponsors thousands upon thousands of people, and continuously motivate your sponsored distributors to drive the sales. In today's world consumers are very price concious, it's tough to convince poeple to buy from you, if they can get the same products else where at a much lower price.

A "pyramid scheme" is illegal.  The U.S. government agency that regulates all networking-type businesses is the Federal Trade Commission.  Not all businesses with a pyramidal structure, are illegal.  One of the keys to tell whether an MLM or "networking" or pyramid-structured business, is legal or not, is "Does a product or service change hands, in return for the money invested, and is/are the product(s) or service(s) a reasonable, fair-market value for the money?"  Another key question is, "Where are the profits made?  Primarily from the legitimate sale of fair-market-value products or services (legal), or primarily from entry fees (illegal)?"  A Multi-Level Marketing (MLM) business that is very much legal and ethical, and is used by the FTC as an ideal model for all others, the grand-daddy of them all, is the Amway business, since September 1999 known as the Quixtar business. Both Amway and Quixtar are sister companies and both are still growing by leaps and bounds.  Amway started as a soap sales and mfg concern in the basement of two men's homes in 1959.  Rich DeVos and Jay Van Andel.  Both are multimillionaires and they and their eight adult children, who now run the corp. HQ, are very respected in their home community of Ann Arbor, MI and around the world, have met with Presidents, kings and queens, etc., and the business is now in over 80 countries.  I'm in Harrisburg, PA and know nothing about Quest International, but I have been in Amway/Quixtar a while and there's not a better place to be than the team I'm on.  The products are the best in their class and are great value.  The convenience is unparalleled.  the sky is the limit with regard to how much you can earn.  E-mail me if int. in further info.  Jack

For years Quixtar diamonds have been filing suit against one another for dumb reasons.  Exposing these scandals could help people see the organization for what it really is.  Also, most people who join Quixtar are told that they should start subscribing to the training tapes, or "standing-order," and spending hundreds of dollars on seminars.  What they actually don't realize is that most of this money goes directly in the pockets of their up-line.  It is estimated that almost 70% of the income for a diamond or plantinum memeber comes from the training material from his downline, and not from PV/BV bonuses.  No wonder they push you so hard to listen to tapes every week.

Not really.\n\nLike the first one that answered, most of the places that make such claims are all scams.

You should be very careful not to give them any info until you contact their "sponsors" to see if they are real or not.\nThey have contact info on their website. Maybe you can try their local better business bureau, to see if they are real or not. Good luck!

It isn't really a store - but a shopping website. Quixtar.com has a 100% no questions asked refund/return policy. Even if you have completely used up the entire product and they'll even pay for shipping. Can't beat that!

BLUF: If it sounds to good to be true than it probably is.\n\nIf you didn't enter a contest then it is more than likely a scam!

I recommend that you search the web for "quixtar".   You will find comments by many people.  It rose in the aftermath of Amway, which I would definitely call the king of scams.   Often the fruit does not fall far from the tree.  Good luck and be careful with your time and your money.

Contact Qchex and explain your situation.\n\nNot sure if this helps, but here's an alert from the Federal Deposit Insurance Commission.  Contact info and resources at bottom of article.\n\nSpecial Alerts \n\nSUBJECT: Fraudulent Checks Created Using Qchex.com  \nSummary: Several financial institutions, retailers and consumers have reported receiving fraudulent checks that were created using an online service called Qchex.com.  \n\nSeveral financial institutions, retailers and consumers have reported receiving fraudulent checks issued via Qchex.com, a subsidiary of Neovi Data Corporation, San Diego, California. Qchex.com is an online service that enables users to print checks or send checks by e-mail to recipients who could then print them. Financial institutions should be aware that some, but not all, checks created using this service may be fraudulent.\n\nThe fraudulent checks may bear actual routing numbers assigned to the drawer bank, along with either actual or fictitious account numbers. A signature is not required on the face of the check, and due to the microprinting aspect, the checks may bypass special handling requirements. The checks may or may not contain Qchex tracking codes.\n\nFinancial institutions, retailers and consumers should be aware that Qchex.com provides the following disclaimer: "Because user authentication on the Internet is difficult, you must make your own independent determination regarding the statements and representations of the other party and the party's ability to pay for the delivered good(s) offered for each transaction commenced through Qchex.com." In addition, the following disclaimer is provided under the section "Terms of Use" on the Qchex.com Web site: "Qchex does not guarantee, verify or investigate transactions undertaken by users of Qchex.com."\n\nOn a related matter, consumers have reported receiving fraudulent checks issued via Qchex.com for items sold over the Internet. In some instances, these checks were issued for an amount in excess of the actual transaction. Generally, in such circumstances, the sender of the check requested that the overpayment be returned via a wire transfer. Financial institutions should encourage their customers to view with extreme caution any proposed transactions requiring them to wire funds outside of the banking system. Given the nature of the activity, the FDIC has notified law enforcement.\n\nInformation about these instruments may be forwarded to the FDIC's Cyber Fraud and Financial Crimes Section, 550 17th Street, N.W., Room F-4004, Washington, D.C. 20429, or transmitted electronically to alert@fdic.gov. Information related to federal deposit insurance or consumer issues should be submitted to the FDIC using an online form that can be accessed at http://www2.fdic.gov/starsmail/index.asp.
