Downline Poaching by Online Marketers is BULL!

There are always practices online that make me ill and "poaching" is one of them! Not unlike some joker getting impatient with putting a line in the water and waiting to catch a fish, they throw dynamite in the water to harvest their catch. Another example is someone that trespasses and without a permit or permission, shoots a deer from a car window or the bumper of a truck.
The same practice is used often online for getting recruits or referrals. There are those that use someone elses downline and market to them with their little scams and programs that don't work, normally, and also legitimate programs as well. This is the personality of the person and not the program but is usually the same type of person that will scam someone. When a person is a member of some program online and is building a list with referrals, it is unacceptable for that program owner to use this person's list to promote other products or programs to. There is another unethical practice with this style of marketing and that is to use a chat room for a program and go directly to individuals and promote to them outside of that room or program. There are more than likely downline builders within these programs that someone else would get the referral from and this is just plain and simple...THEFT! If you are an online marketer and someone approaches you to join or buy something, make sure this program or product is not already offered through what you are already a member of. It is only the correct and fair way to do things, for you would not want this happening to you.
This practice will not stop but hope this post throws a wrench in the unscrupulous machine and makes people aware of what is going on more and more everyday.
