Another one of the big energy companies making headway in the MLM or network marketing business is Stream Energy, also sometimes called Ignite Energy (which is the marketing arm). Ignite Stream energy also gets accused of being a scam or fraud, so we did a little research to see what the give is.
Is Ignite Stream Energy a Scam?
In short, no, of course not. Stream Ignite takes good care of their customers and their consultants and has no real or founded complaints that we can find. In fact, they seem to run the Ignite business in a top notch, well organized manner and are very much financially stable.
Where Is The Scam Then?
The only thing we have found in regards to scam or fraud or whatever you want to call it is on a few websites where people claim they were pushed too heavily to join the MLM pyramid as a consultant. This is an inherent part of any MLM business where pretty much anyone can be a “member” if they pony up the money, you are gonna get those bad seeds that hammer and push others to join. This does not make Ignite Stream a scam at all. It just makes it pretty much like any other network marketing business.
Final Ignite Stream Energy Review
From what we can tell, Ignite Stream Energy is NOT a scam or fraud and represents one of the better opportunities in the network marketing energy business. You can also compare them to Ambit Energy Review we did and see which one is best for you.

Hi ,, it is very hard for me or any one to be in MLM its hard complicated and intrusive to ask people to put up that kind of money and work under you so you can profit off their spending and any one who they recruit TO ME THIS IS A SCAM AND ALMOST AN ORGANIZED CRIME because they hire you take your money and teach you how to do the same to others AKA people you know and know you and trust you , so instead of advertising they attack people and use them and their network of communities and relations to others in at work to score deals and contracts this will work just fine for any one who has a lot friends who have the money to spare
I am sorry to say this but I think its horrible to act like you want to help some make money by asking them for money and do the same with those who they think can profit from this I think ANY MLM LIKE THIS should never be allowed to operate IF I WAS IN CHRGE I WILL SHUT IT DOWN
when you GAMBLE USING your money and friends and there money you are going to lose BADLY
This is all fine and dandy but what about the end user? I hear how much money everyone can make and not one word about the savings that are available to the client. I remember what the deregulation of California’s Energy providers basically handed the control of it’s grids to the private sector corporations who did not care one whit about the end user and caused brown outs and black outs throughout California during the Buah Regime. What security measures are in place with this system and why should anyone trust marketing companies to provide electrical and or gas services to the people?
Ignite is not a scam. I was involved in the initial launch in Ga. In a week and a half I had a downline of 40+ people. I was too busy to really pursue it and take the time to really execute the business plan. JUST THINK ABOUT IT! It absolutley makes sense and was NEVER promoted as a get rich quick scheme. I never witnessed anything but the enthusiasm iof people helping other people hopefully achieve what they had acheieved. I wish I had stuck with it!!!!!!. I plan on getting bsck involved when things stablize with my full time job.
It’s not really fair to say that Ignite/Stream energy does not have any “found” complaints when you and I both know that consumers and potentail employees must sign a contract whichi waves their rights to filing a grievance. Since each associate has no choice but to pay a monthly charge for the same web layout that can be found on host page I say spare the pawns go to the main site and read the disclousures.
Never thought I’d be one for regulation in the face of a democracy but, somethings ‘gotta’ give
First off, anyone that calls Ignite a scam needs to pull their head out of the sand! Stream Energy is licensed in 5 states and is the #1 Independant provider in 4 of the 5 states. The only reason Stream is not #1 in the 5th state is because they just open for service 4 months ago. As to the response above about MLM’s being a scam, why have they been around for over 100 years? Are Avon, Mary Kay, Tupperware or Keller Williams Realestate all scams too? Network marketing is the business of the future! Actually, if you don’t own your own business, you work for a “pyramid” company. If you work for ANY corporation you will never own it. There’s always going to be someone you are making money for. Ignite gives you the opportunity to own your own business. Wnat you get out of it is what you put into it. As far as the website you MUST pay for, that is simply not true. It is an optional website that helps you run your business and gives you a web presence. There isn’t a successful company that doesn’t have web presence. I personally know this business works! I have made thousands of dollars off my initial investment of $299.00 and so have many people on our team. If Stream/Ignite shuts down, who cares! I have put alot of money in my pockets which I wouldn’t have had! My advice, unless you have done your homework, I wouldn’t comment on what you don’t know. Stream Energy is the #! Independant Energy provider in the world and is ranked number 14 on the Global 100 Direct Selling list. Not bad considering they have only been around 7 years!
All MLM’s care about is the purchase of their starter kit. That is how they make their money. People are so naive to think that they care about giving the customer lower costs. I would bet anything that their costs are lower in the beginning and spike after a couple months. I completely agree with NASS. Any MLM is shady to me, and I don’t want to be involved. Their sales pitch is exactly like any other energy MLM. “Nobody pays attention to their kWh on their bill”, “You care about the environment right” , “I couldn’t believe all the savings that I had to share it with someone I care about” and my favorite ” We used to never have a choice in what energy company we can choose..” blah blah blah. pyramid scheme at its best.
My father in law joined one of the MLM energy companies just as a customer. His bill was lower in the summer months, but spiked up in the winter months. Just like any other energy company, their rates fluctuate. Don’t get duped! A respectable company would not ask their customers to sell for them! They would hire their own sales and marketing team!
