Is AMWAY a Scam? See what former Amway IBOs have to say below. Add your own opinion about Amway.

Have you ever had a good friend or close relative join AMWAY (Mary Kay, Herbalife, Quixtar, Meleleuca, Shaklee, USANA, nuskin, or other mlm, multilevel or network marketing scheme) and suddenly become the annoying sales zombie from hell?

The question came from a comment left on the post “IS AMWAY A GREAT BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY?” thirstyfox claims that Amway/Quixtar is a cultlike scam that makes everyone annoyed with her deluded sister:

My sis was in it once, wasted all her time and in the end made little or nothing.

She got back into it recently against everyones advice.  It’s like a cult that turns you against your family so you don’t listen to them. Now she has no time for family, just scamming strangers and wasting her time away with unfullfilled dreams.

The constant meetings are to keep you brainwashed.   It’s all a scam and she knows it herself now as she tries to get others in “under her.”  Hard to see her as a Christian anymore when she does this, and it’s sad to see all the time she loses when she could be raising her kids.

I’ll never understand how she could be so stupid. I asked her why she got in it last time and she said of course money.  Then I asked her what she got out of it and she replied defensivly “I met a lot of very interesting people!”  I think that about says it all and if it didn’t work for my sis it won’t work for anyone.

All the BS they tell you about how well this that and the other person did or is doing is all lies so they can get your money.  98% of all Quixtar products are sold ONLY to stupid Quixtar members themselves, yet they go around saying they own a business???

Don’t give them a second of your time.

What do you think?  Does Multi-level “Network” Marketing consists of stupid, annoying members selling worthless stuff to other stupid, annoying members?  Share your MLM story below.

  • Tex:

    You indicate that you don't agree with Dr. John Taylor who with his Consumer Awareness Instuitute seems to be trying to combat "white collar crime" and expose the MLM's.

    He has excellent credentials and it appears that you share the same goals of warning about the general unprofitability of MLM's for those on the bottom of the pyramid. Where are you in disagreement? What is your goal? What is his goal, in your opinion?

    What do you think about his article "Despite the Amway Ruling, De Facto or Markiet Saturation is Very Real." (I disagree strongly with his statement, i.e. In franchising, strict limits are placed on territories covered to protect against de factor saturation of the marketplace" because, of course, this is not true because churning and encroachment is encouraged under state and federal regulation and the adhesory franchise agreements.)

  • You indicate that you don’t agree with Dr. John Taylor who with his Consumer Awareness Instuitute seems to be trying to combat “white collar crime” and expose the MLM’s. ----> Taylor is putting the focus on the FTC declared LEGAL aspect of the Amway MLM and taking the focus off the unethical, immoral, and ILLEGAL aspect of the ATS (Amway Tool Scam). All he does is causes confusion, and the ATS marches on.

    He has excellent credentials and it appears that you share the same goals of warning about the general unprofitability of MLM’s for those on the bottom of the pyramid. Where are you in disagreement? What is your goal? What is his goal, in your opinion? ----> He doesn't know what he's talking about, he is using his title to speak of which he doesn't have a clue. I've BEEN an Amway IBO, I've SEEN what happens, so when others say similar things, I KNOW what they're talking about. I don't operate in Taylor's world of theory and goal to make money off an opinion based entirely on an erroneous theory, not experience. You and Taylor have failed to separate the legitimate Amway product business from the ATS. Why should those "on the bottom of the pyramid" be making millions of dollars?

    What do you think about his article “Despite the Amway Ruling, De Facto or Markiet Saturation is Very Real.” (I disagree strongly with his statement, i.e. In franchising, strict limits are placed on territories covered to protect against de factor saturation of the marketplace” because, of course, this is not true because churning and encroachment is encouraged under state and federal regulation and the adhesory franchise agreements.) ----> I didn't read his article, he's a waste of time. From the standpoint of Amway being saturated in the U.S., I agree, because it hasn't grown in several years. However, this doesn't mean new people aren't being ripped off, because the ones who drop out after being ripped off by the ATS are replaced with new ones.

  • John IBO,

    The reason I sound like a broken record is because the ATS (Amway Tool Scam) run by the LCKs (Lying Cowardly "Kingpins") has been ripping off IBOs using the same old techniques for several decades. The abuse hasn't changed, why should the reporting of it change?

  • What makes you think you have the right to invade and take over people's blogs saying the same thing over and over, post after post? Make your comment and leave it at that.

  • What makes you think you have the right to invade and tell me not to "take over" people's blog saying the same thing over and over, post after post? Make your comment and leave it at that. LOL

  • Where is Shekhar?

    Perhaps he can give us an update on what his monthly sales and profits are with his Amway business!

    What do you think the odds are that Shekhar is still pouring time and money into Amway?
