I 'retired' from this company because I could no longer put up with the degrading of its members and former members. I poured almost two years of hard work and my own money into this company. I retired as a member in good standing and fully expected to receive the retirement payments as promised. I had no ill will towards the company, it's members, or it's programs. I thought the programs were good ideas and would bring an income to me as I was still a member of those and advertising them faithfully.
Then came the bombshell. December (the same month I retired) I was locked out of all accounts, without notice!! Because I joined a program that was comprised of former TTL members, I was suddenly black-balled from all current and future programs that were under the Blacktop China/TTL/SSS network. I never received any explanation of why my accounts were locked. Through other "retirees" I learned that anyone who joined this group of former members was considered to be "harming" TTL and would have all accounts blocked, downlines removed and would receive no retirement payments.
I am not the only person that this has happened to. I know several in the same situation. I am owed retirement payments from January to date.
What I also did NOT see were the Thimbles that I was suppose to receive for being a member of "The Thimble Club" I paid $10. each for thimbles that I have never received. The reason stated was that the "certificates of authenticity" had not been created yet. I've waited for nearly a year for those certificates to be created. I don't believe they ever will be. I'd still like to have my thimbles. I was a member of the Thimble Club from March through December. So, I am owed at least 8 Thimbles.
I worked very hard to make TTL, This Team Leads, Simple Stepping Stones, etc great profit and income earners, but am denied the benefits of that. I did receive $200 in November the first & last payout I ever received. This despite the fact that I contributed over $300 of my own money to keep the company afloat during the early building stages.
I and many others worked tirelessly and endlessly for nearly two years to build a great marketing team and some good programs. When the big money started flowing, the Founder who holds all keys to the income but would not be held accountable for it in any fashion, becan summarily finding reason after reason to squeeze out those whom had built his company to a profitable level.
Be warned that if you join any programs affilitated with Blacktopp China, Mike Blacktopp, SSS, Simple Stepping Stones, The Team, This Team Leads, etc you will probably not see any income. In fact, you'll more than likely lose income. You are required to remove yourself from any program that is not affiliated with Mike Blacktopp. He also states you will never have to "pay to join" a program again, but several of us did pay out of our own pockets because we believed in the company and we believed in Mike Blacktopp. We were wrong.
These are the current programs being offered online:
