Anyone part of VemmaBuilder?

Yesterday I clicked on a link in an email sent by Mike Glaspie, it took me to a landing page for VemmaBuilder and I was instantly signed up...without doing anything except for clicking on the link.
I immediately received an email from VemmaBuilder....

"Congratulations, and welcome to VemmaBuilder. We
want to sincerely thank you for visiting our
VemmaBuilder website and registering to look over our
NO RISK OFFER."

I absolutely did not fill anything out, sign up for anything...I JUST clicked on the link in the email. I even received an ID and a Password from them.

Now today I received several more emails...one asking me to call them...another informing me of live training on Saturday and yet another congratulating me...

"We've got terrific news! The following 37
people have joined your SuccessLine as new
Pre-Enrollees.....Just as exciting, some of our Paid VemmaBuilder
Members are working to make YOU money right now, by
adding more Pre-Enrollees to your SuccessLine! To
see how many people already placed below you, click
on this link:"

I'm not CLICKING ANYMORE LINKS just yet. I don't want to end up "signing up" for even more.

Obviously I'm a little 'sketched' out as I prefer to actually SIGN UP for something myself, rather than have a link do it for me.

Anyone know anything about VemmaBuilder? I really would appreciate any input you folks could give me...as I have never heard of them and would like more information.

Thanks for your help.

    Yeah...it is definitely MLM...I'm old enough to remember how Amway worked..back in the day (and probably still works). I've met a lot of people over the years, who hooked up with them and very few made much more than enough to pay for their products.
    I don't even know what this group is 'selling'.
    Since I now have "all of these people in my 'successline'...(uh..huh..) I wonder what it is that everyone is 'supposed to be doing'....I'm pretty sure they want us all to "pay for being part of their group"....and, "then, what?"

      The first question I have is, was the link in an email from someone you signed up with? If so, I would report BOTH the sender of that email AND the source of the one from VemmaBuilder to the appropriate ISPs/web hosts.

      If I found that someone I had given my address to used a link like that without labelling it VERY carefully, I'd make sure a few hundred thousand people knew not to ever do any kind of business with them at all.

      If the link was in a spam, well... That will teach you not to click on links in spam.

      I have never been fond of Glaspie's emailing practices, but, assuming your account of the process is accurate, this one alone would be enough to ensure that I would recommend avoiding any contact with him at all. Ever.

      Would you mind PMing me a copy of the email containing that link?

          I have absolutely NEVER had any kind of success with MLM. My experiences are pre-internet but, they ended up being quite 'nightmarish'...and I don't want to go "down that road" again.
          Thank you for giving me the 'heads up' on what this is all about....I don't know what you mean about 'fear of loss'...but it sounds scary!

        I PM'd a copy of that email to you Paul.

        Yes, I am kicking my own butt. I was actually going through my emails to unsubscribe to those that I was no longer interested in receiving offers from!
        Should have probably unsubscribed to his, instead of clicking on the link to see what it was all about!
        Sometimes I'm just TOO curious!

    Thanks for everyone's replies. I was a little surprised to find I was 'automatically' signed up for a program just by clicking on a link.
    Since I had never heard of this program, I was just wondering if anyone else had either??
    I do appreciate your help!
