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, why do you have such a vendetta against Amway? I think it's a bad idea to join but you take it too far.
How can a multi-million person, 3-4 decade long, 10s of billions of dollars scam be taken "too far?"
The point is that no meaningful change has occurred, which indicates we haven't gone far ENOUGH.
You need to act as your name implies and "Be Real." LOL
I am being real. Who apppointed you as the judge and jury to do something about Amway? By the way, your tool scam post on your blog should be abbreviated. Nobody wants to read all of that.
No, you're Being Real stupid. I appointed myself via the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. If there were more people like me, there wouldn't even BE a tool scam, but most people are like YOU, Be Real (Wimpy) and don't have the guts to speak the truth or the brains, Be Real (Idiotic) to work with others to fix problems. By the way, if you had gone past 3rd grade in school, you would find my post informative, but your USA Today microwave brain can't process that much information, can it, Be Real (Dense)?" Next time speak for yourself, Be Real (Retarded) because others can read it just fine. LOL
I did speak the truth. It's not a good idea to join Amway because you are likely to lose money in the process. I'm not heavily invested in Amway where I want to spend all my time trying to shut down their "tool scam". I speak my piece to warn others and if they join, then it's caveat emptor.
What "truth" did you speak? The part about "Who apppointed [sic] me as the judge and jury to do something about Amway"? That isn't truth, that's a stupid, non-productive question.
The fact that you can't read for more than 3 minutes at a time? How is that the truth?
You can't even think, let alone speak the truth.
It's important to know WHY someone is likely to lose money. Otherwise, you look like a kook. If you don't care about others being scammed, leave the conversation to the adults and complain about someone else being the "judge and jury" and their posts are "too long" somewhere else. LOL
@tex, if you're so smart and devoted to stopping the "tool scam", why hasn't it been stopped?
Better to just tell people not to join. I bet that does more than to try and stop the tool sellers.
This thread has a persistent tendency to revert back to personal attacks.
Please follow this guideline: Attack the argument, not the arguer.
Thanks!
The personal attacks started on the post dated October 31st, 2011 7:50 pm.
If you're going to enforce your "no personal attacks" rule, start by removing the posts from there into the future, as you agreed to do!
This message from Be Real wasn't a personal attack, it's a display of their ignorance, and here's my response:
@tex, you are a loser. ---> How can I be a loser? I haven't given up. The "game clock" is still running.
You're wasting your time. ---> How do YOU know?
What of actual substance have you accomplished in shutting down the evil tools scam? ---> If you count being sued by Amway, and now they're running with their tail tucked between their legs, I'm winning!
Nothing, nada, zilcho. ---> See above. That is FAR from zero. Plus, I've just started to work with a couple of other people who want to FIX the problems, not just WHINE about them, so stand by for even more progress. When we win I'll be happy to point out who was helping and who was merely whining. LOL
