Hounded

I’d like to say the last meeting Ambot attended was the last dime he spent on Amway.

Unfortunately it wasn’t. He hadn’t yet received professional help for leaving a cult.

Someone upline who claimed to be a double eagle maybe he was once but now only had one active leg, phoned to hound Ambot to buy 150 PV worth of products because an upline couple wanted to reach their next goal of going Platinum.

Even though he’d stopped going to meetings, Ambot was still influenced by the cult and he dutifully pulled out his credit card and purchased $500 in Amway products after that phone call.

The bugger phoned again a few days later to hound Ambot to attend the next function.

“Can’t afford it,” said Ambot. “I spent all my money buying those products so those bastards (my word not his) would have enough PV to reach their next level.”

Oddly enough this weirdo still phones from time to time to ask Ambot how he’s doing even though we’ve cut ties with anything Amway.

Ambot is pleasant enough to him and will chat for awhile. In fact the fellow showed up at our house a few months ago to pick up a book that he’d leant us (that we’d never read). It wasn’t on the Amway reading list so he had to be rather hush hush about it.

  1. Would be awesome if your hubby baught 500 in product and returned all of it for a refund just for laughs. I decided i wouldnt buy a dam thing associated with amway when i left the scam. Actually, i didnt think much of the products even when im involved as a ibo. I hope your ambot hubby stopped buying stuff from scamway

  2. Just too bad your hubby is still nice to these people. Most people would just slam the phone down or tell them not to call again. He has to realize they arent his friends and dont really care much about him. Maybe get a new number or use caller id when they call.

  3. Colin, that was his last purchase on Amway and I believe he did return some of that last order for a refund so hopefully that screwed up his upline's dreams to become Platinum that month! Nope haven't purchased no Amway products ever since. Ambot does have caller ID but he still answers their calls. Yes he's too nice to too many people.

  4. Does "Ambot" have the email addresses of his upline? If so, I would be happy to send them to my site. You can even forward the email addresses to hawaiianibo@yahoo.com if you don't want to publish them online. LOL

Comments are moderated but we publish just about everything. Even brainwashed ambots who show up here to accuse us of not trying hard enough and that we are lazy, quitters, negative, unchristian dreamstealers. Like we haven’t heard that Amspeak abuse from the assholes in our upline!

If your comment didn’t get published it could be one of these reasons:
1. Is it the weekend? We don’t moderate comments on weekends. Maybe not every day during the week either. Patience.
2. Racist/bigoted comments? Take that shit somewhere else.
3. Naming names? Public figures like politicians and actors and people known in Amway are probably OK – the owners, Diamonds with CDs or who speak at functions, people in Amway’s publicity department who write press releases and blogs. Its humiliating for people to admit their association with Amway so respect their privacy if they’re not out there telling everyone about the love of their life.
4. Gossip that serves no purpose. There are other places to dish about what Diamonds are having affairs or guessing why they’re getting divorced. If you absolutely must share that here – don’t name names. I get too many nosy ambots searching for this. Lets not help them find this shit.
5. Posting something creepy anonymously and we can’t track your location because you’re on a mobile device or using hide my ass or some other proxy. I attracted an obsessed fan and one of my blog administrators attracted a cyberstalker. Lets keep it safe for everyone. Anonymous is OK. Creepy anonymous and hiding – go fuck yourselves!
6. Posting something that serves no purpose other than to cause fighting.
7. Posting bullshit Amway propaganda. We might publish that comment to make fun of you. Otherwise take your agenda somewhere else. Not interested.
8. Notice how this blog is written in English? That's our language so keep your comments in English too. If you leave a comment written in another language then we either have to use Google translate to put it into English so everyone can understand what you wrote or we can hit the Delete button. Guess which one is easier for us to do?
9. We suspect you're a troublemaking Amway asshole.
10. Your comment got caught in the spam filter. Gets checked occasionally. We’ll get to you eventually and approve it as long as it really isn’t spam.
