SSI Membership is provided at no additional cost to anyone who purchases the SSI products at a cost of $49.95 per month.

Yes.

SSI offers two products that SSI Members can sell to the public. One is a subscription to the Social Security International Newsletter and the other is 24/7 access to the SSI Member Community Forums. They are priced and sold as a package and together they cost $49.95 per month, payable as a subscription that automatically renews each month until it is canceled, and it can be canceled at any time and for any reason.

Each of these products is an Internet-based information product designed to meet the needs of anyone who is interested in establishing a more reliable retirement income and/or financial independence at some point in his or her lifetime.

The Social Security International Newsletter is a monthly source of information focusing on strategies designed to help subscribers achieve their saving, investing, and earning goals, and the SSI Members Community Forums are a 24/7 fully interactive source of answers to specific questions as well as peer-to-peer encouragement for subscribers who may appreciate an association with other individuals facing similar challenges and life situations.

No.

SSI is designed to provide three very important services:

1.) Make people aware of the problems facing the U.S. Social Security program without all the political rhetoric that tends to distort the facts and confuse the issue.

2.) For those people who might choose to take a more proactive approach to creating a more secure retirement income, SSI offers a package consisting of two online resources as follows. (The resources are available by subscription and the cost of the subscription is $49.95 per month. The subscription is month-to-month and may be canceled at any time and for any reason.)

The Social Security International Newsletter is a monthly newsletter focusing on strategies designed to help subscribers achieve their saving, investing, and earning goals. The information contained in the newsletter is presented in a very easy-to-understand format and includes links to other, more detailed information on various subjects.

The SSI Members Community Forums are a 24/7 fully interactive source of answers to specific questions as well as peer-to-peer encouragement for subscribers who may appreciate an association with other individuals facing similar challenges and life situations.

3.) For those people who might want or need an additional source of income to begin or supplement their retirement savings, or to help them pay off debt, save for college, or for whatever other reason they might consider important, SSI also provides (at no additional cost) the SSI Income Opportunity.

SSI makes no claims that there is any benefit to subscribing to SSI's resource products sooner as opposed to later, and encourages each individual visitor to this website to read the information provided completely and carefully and to make his or her decision at his or her own pace.

SSI will never ask you for any information other than name and email address. You will never be encouraged to provide SSI with any banking information, credit card numbers, etc.

SSI makes no "easy money" or "get-rich-quick" claims. The SSI Income Opportunity is designed to reward participants for the revenue generated as a result of the effort put forth by each individual participant.

SSI involves no investments of any kind, makes no offers of investments of any kind, and collects no money for investments of any kind. There are no promises of investment returns because there are no investments.

There is nothing "magical" about SSI or the SSI Income Opportunity. We provide what we consider a fair compensation plan to reward participating subscribers for their efforts to make other people aware of SSI products when such awareness results in a new paid subscriber.

For every new paid subscriber to the Social Security International Newsletter and the SSI Members Community Forums, 90% of the revenue generated ($45 per month) is paid directly to other qualified participating subscribers and 10% ($5 per month) is paid to SSI to cover the ongoing costs associated with maintaining an online presence, researching, collecting, and generating valuable content, researching and programming future improvements, and as profit.

No money is paid until such time as a new subscriber pays for his subscription. If a person makes no effort to share his SSI website with others, or if his efforts aren't sufficient to result in any new subscribers, then that person will earn no money.

Because new subscribers arrange for payment to be made directly to qualified recipients (other participating SSI subscribers), the only revenue that is paid to SSI is the 10% ($5) share of the monthly subscription payment to cover the ongoing costs associated with maintaining an online presence, researching, collecting, and generating valuable content, researching and programming future improvements, and as profit.

Different people will choose to share, promote, or advertise their SSI website in different ways. Some people will simply mention it to friends, neighbors, and co-workers. Others may prefer to use newspaper ads or commercials on radio or television. Some may want to limit their advertising efforts to online methods of advertising. And some people will choose not to bother sharing their SSI website at all.

Each individual will be able to decide how they want to share their SSI website, if at all, and whether they want to use paid advertising or no-cost advertising methods, as well as how much money they want to spend to advertise their SSI website, if any.

SSI makes no "easy money" or "get-rich-quick" claims. The SSI Income Opportunity is designed to reward participants for the revenue generated as a result of the effort put forth by each individual participant.

At no time will SSI have any of your money.

At no time will any of your money be in the control or possession of SSI.

SSI offers no products designed for saving or investing money.

SSI products are information products intended to help people become better savers and investors.

SSI also arranges for those SSI subscribers who choose to participate in the SSI Income Opportunity to be paid by new subscribers when those new subscribers purchase and pay for a new subscription from an SSI website that is owned by an active SSI subscriber who is a participant in the SSI Income Opportunity.

The SSI Income Opportunity is provided at no additional cost to all active SSI subscribers who wish to participate in the SSI Income Opportunity.

Applicants pay qualified participants directly. All money designated by the SSI Income Opportunity to be paid to qualified participants (90% of the total subscription price) is paid directly to those qualified participants by subscribers.

No money designated by the SSI Income Opportunity to be paid to qualified participants passes through SSI.

SSI involves no savings or investments of any kind, makes no offers of saving or investment products of any kind, and collects no money for purposes of saving or investing.

Because no money passes through SSI, there is no money within SSI to be lost or stolen.

The primary reason for the failure of the U.S. Social Security program is that elected politicians couldn't resist the temptation to "borrow" trillions of dollars to use for pet projects that would help to get them re-elected again and again, and now nobody can figure out how to repay all that money.

With that awareness, the first thing that was designed into SSI was the elimination of any kind of "Trust Fund" to hold people's money, thus eliminating the concern that someone might "borrow" that money and never pay it back.

How did SSI accomplish that?

Simple. Instead of everyone sending money to SSI and then SSI deciding who should be paid and when (which is precisely how the U.S. Social Security program operates), SSI reversed that order. SSI first determines who should be paid and when (always immediately) and then instructs the person paying to pay those people directly.

Because no money flows through SSI, there is no money in SSI to be lost, borrowed, or stolen.

SSI is 100% secure for the very best reason... there's nothing to steal.

And all member-to-member payments are processed individually by AlertPay, a solid, secure, trusted, and reliable online payment processor that does business in over 190 countries around the world.

Bottom line: Security issues are simply not a concern for SSI because SSI holds no money. SSI's integrity is the result of direct member-to-member payments, and is reconfirmed with every payment that passes from one member to another without ever passing through SSI.

No.

According to the U.S Securities and Exchange Commission's website...

"A Ponzi scheme is an investment fraud that involves the payment of purported returns to existing investors from funds contributed by new investors. Ponzi scheme organizers often solicit new investors by promising to invest funds in opportunities claimed to generate high returns with little or no risk. In many Ponzi schemes, the fraudsters focus on attracting new money to make promised payments to earlier-stage investors and to use for personal expenses, instead of engaging in any legitimate investment activity."

SSI involves no investments of any kind, makes no offers of investments of any kind, and collects no money for investments of any kind. There are no promises of investment returns because there are no investments.

No.

According to the U.S Federal Trade Commission's website...

What is a Pyramid Scheme and What is Legitimate Marketing?

"Pyramid schemes now come in so many forms that they may be difficult to recognize immediately. However, they all share one overriding characteristic. They promise consumers or investors large profits based primarily on recruiting others to join their program, not based on profits from any real investment or real sale of goods to the public. Some schemes may purport to sell a product, but they often simply use the product to hide their pyramid structure. There are two tell-tale signs that a product is simply being used to disguise a pyramid scheme: inventory loading and a lack of retail sales. Inventory loading occurs when a company's incentive program forces recruits to buy more products than they could ever sell, often at inflated prices. If this occurs throughout the company's distribution system, the people at the top of the pyramid reap substantial profits, even though little or no product moves to market. The people at the bottom make excessive payments for inventory that simply accumulates in their basements. A lack of retail sales is also a red flag that a pyramid exists. Many pyramid schemes will claim that their product is selling like hot cakes. However, on closer examination, the sales occur only between people inside the pyramid structure or to new recruits joining the structure, not to consumers out in the general public."

Let's consider that paragraph.

"They promise consumers or investors large profits"
SSI makes no promises of any kind.

"based primarily on recruiting others to join their program,"
No money is earned by merely recruiting.

"not based on profits from any real investment or real sale of goods to the public."
SSI Members earn money based on profits generated as the result of a sale being made to a consumer.

SSI provides two products that SSI Members sell to the public. One is a subscription to the Social Security International Newsletter and the other is 24/7 access to the SSI Member Community Forums. They are priced and sold as a package and together they cost $49.95 per month, payable as a subscription that automatically renews each month until it is canceled, and it can be canceled at any time and for any reason.

Each of these products is an entirely legitimate information product designed to meet the needs of anyone who is interested in establishing a more reliable retirement income and/or financial independence at some point in his or her lifetime.

The Social Security International Newsletter is a monthly source of information focusing on strategies designed to help subscribers achieve their saving, investing, and earning goals, and the SSI Members Community Forums are a 24/7 fully interactive source of answers to specific questions as well as peer-to-peer encouragement for subscribers who may appreciate an association with other individuals facing similar challenges and life situations.

"There are two tell-tale signs that a product is simply being used to disguise a pyramid scheme: inventory loading and a lack of retail sales."
Let's examine each of these tell-tale signs.

"Inventory loading occurs when a company's incentive program forces recruits to buy more products than they could ever sell, often at inflated prices."
There is no "inventory loading" with SSI. In fact, it's impossible because there is no inventory. SSI products are created at the exact moment of purchase and delivered over the Internet in real time. And there are no "inflated prices" either, as the total cost for both products is just $49.95 per month by subscription, which can be canceled at any time.

"A lack of retail sales is also a red flag that a pyramid exists."
Every Member of SSI is first a retail customer... a consumer who made the decision to purchase the SSI products at the retail subscription price of $49.95 per month. Some of those customers will decide to take advantage of the Bonuses that comprise the SSI Income Opportunity, others will not. But no matter what each individual's decision happens to be, every Member of SSI is a retail customer.

"Many pyramid schemes will claim that their product is selling like hot cakes.\"
SSI makes no such claims.

"However, on closer examination, the sales occur only between people inside the pyramid structure or to new recruits joining the structure, not to consumers out in the general public."
In SSI, each and every sale is made to a consumer "out in the general public". There are no sales that occur "between people inside the pyramid structure".

As you can clearly see, SSI is not a pyramid scheme.

Every Member of SSI is a retail customer, a consumer, an end user of the SSI products. Some Members choose to build an income by making others aware of SSI, while other Members choose not to. Money is earned based on profits when a sale is made to a consumer.

No.

SSI neither offers nor endorses investment opportunities of any kind.

SSI involves no investments of any kind, makes no offers of investments of any kind, and collects no money for investments of any kind. There are no promises of investment returns because there are no investments.
