My story of what its like to be married to an Amway cult follower. I expose the lies that our upline told and what happens at Amway meetings and functions. I leave the explanations of why Amway is a poor business opportunity or the tool scam to other bloggers. This blog mainly exists to curse out my former upline, aka the cult leaders, and to let everyone know what kind of idiots I had to put up with. Feel free to join in or live vicariously!

How To Cancel Communikate
20 comments:
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.
Sorry to the person whose comment I accidentally deleted! And you're right. Most monthly cell phone plans give you better bang for your buck for the same monthly fee as Communikate or even cheaper. The problem is the Amway cult leaders don't make any profit when they're ambots purchase from outside sources so that's why they won't go that route. It's all about the tool scam and the money to be made scamming the cult followers.
ReplyDeleteI found it easy to cancel communikate, just click on help or contact us, open up a chat window with them and tell them you want to cancel.
ReplyDeleteThey did this for me and it was done in about 2 minutes with no additional charges.
When I heard a Ambot try to sell communikate. The prospect said why not use text? Then the cult leader said text is not reliable and their messages are important. In today's world nobody uses voicemail or pays almost 40.00. There's whatsapp,line,and Google voice. I hardly doubt any messages from ambots are worth 40 a month.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous - the cult leader must have left out the part how he doesn't make any money if you use text instead of paying $40/month on this tool scam where he can get a kickback. And you're right, nothing an ambot has to say is worth a penny. Those bastards ought to be paying US to listen to their bullshit!
DeleteEven for someone who didn't join Amway, I regret not calling them out on more of this stuff. I remember how they do the patronizing gesture of having you write down your goals and dreams just before you pay the $130 or whatever and officially sign up. I would've liked to see how they would've reacted if I presented them with a document and make them sign and initial each section.
DeleteEach section would contain....
1) I will NOT sign up for Communikate.
2) I will NOT attend Amway conventions
3) I will NOT look for downlines
4) I will be using my own tools from a reputable business sources
1- Not paying $40/mo I can already do for free/MUCH cheaper with existing online services and cellphone. I've never missed a text. Counter that this service is something you never heard of and is unreliable.
2- Here, I would lie and just say a friend is going and taking notes for you. If they ask who, just say you don't want to say... he's got another upline and you don't want trouble between uplines :p
3- They'll say they have training programs that help you with this. I don't do cold calls or sales, period!
In general, you can say you did your research online and it stated such as such is bad. Then lie and say that internet research said Amway is a pretty good business. They can't refute just the former without the latter
You can't just tell them you're not going to join Communikate? If they get pushy, try turning the tables and tell them you'll quit Amway if you have to sign up for it. Them telling you it's the way to success? Counter by saying your cell phone service is far sufficient for that purpose. I guess you can eventually say "I've done my research online, so fuck off!", but that wouldn't be as fun.
ReplyDeleteBut but but, they will say stay away from the internet cause its negative, only listen to 'non biased' advice from WWDB.
DeleteStrange how one can run a ECOMMERCE business without the internet lol.
We pay a lot to literally not talk on our phones (testing and surfing), so why pay 40 bucks to listen to their messages?
And I quote "Hey everybody this is Brad Duncan, just wanted to let you guys know I just took a shower, got back from the Dr's a bit ago, my cholesterol is lower, but I need more Iron in my diet. I am so FIRED UP for you guys right now" yep $40 worth to know you took a shower bro.
Anonymous - telling an ambot to fuck off is lots of fun. We do that a lot around here! LOL!!!
DeleteRbot - you're right. Those are the kinds of messages that you get stuck listening to on Communikate. They go something like I just spent more money sitting on the toilet than you've made all day! HA HA!!! I spent all day today helping out a stranded friend but no one's going to pay me any money to hear about that. And what about the most exciting part of the day? The biker who had a dog riding with him.
DeleteUgh... so that's the content and operations of it!? It's the worst parts of Facebook, MySpace, and Twitter, but you get charged for it? Alternatively, stick it in their face and suggest everyone uses Google+ or something. They'll be insistent for sure on using Communikate, but then the fun comes in butting heads as you spell out clearly there's no reason for the service, while they rattle on about success, blah blah blah...
DeleteAnna, didn't u say your emerald or brad Duncan had people doing repairs and fixing for free? People will volunteer their time just to be around them. I'm surprise they don't ask the ibos to have joint bank accounts with their leader. So their upline can empty their bank accounts anytime lol. Funny how stupid people get with worshipping their upline.
ReplyDeleteIt wouldn't surprise me if Duncan had wanted a work bee to show up at his place at the ambots expense but not that I recall. Our platinum put in a bathroom using ambot labor. No plumbing or electrical experience needed. No shit they were getting instructions off the Internet! I think the Emerald wanted garden work done. We declined on all. Bad little ambots!
DeleteJust saying if ambots are willing to put in a bathroom or garden work. Paying 40.00 is nothing to hear their dear leaders voice. Personally I rather spend the money on food or movies
DeleteYeah maybe the ambots have to pay their cult leaders to come over to their houses and do slave labor. Can't you just see the ambots punching each other out. No its my turn to pay $40 to do the sack of shit's laundry!
DeleteHey Anna,
ReplyDeleteIt's been a while since I've written here. That's because my ambot bf and I have been fighting really bad. I knew it was inevitable that he will realize this "business" is a scam, but now he's finding God through these crazy people, and it's so obvious that it's a way to tie them in. My bf was an agnostic and I know he's been going to his upline for "religious advice" instead of coming to me. It's really hurt.
Sorry to hear that ScamFighter. I was really hoping for your sake that he'd decide your relationship is more important than immersing further into the Amway cult. Amway is no different than other cults when it comes to using religion. They twist it to suit their purposes. Drink that Kool Aid. Yup it always hurts when our husbands/significant others put Amway and the assholes in their Amway upline over us. Maybe you need a trial separation to see if that will bring him back to his senses. And if not maybe you'll find another boyfriend who will love you more than a box of laundry soap. Good luck!
DeleteThese people would make great Amway diamonds.

Reminds me of Chia Pets. Those things only sell during Christmas. If it weren't for that holiday, they' have no leg to stand on.
ReplyDeleteWhen I first heard of Communikate, I sensed it had a strong tie-in with Amway. I didn't think they were the only group in on it. I'd figured at least other MLM groups would push it on their IBOs too.
Unlike Communikate, at least Chia Pets can be delightful and have value. Well, the former is a subscription, but I'd still rather buy a Chia Pet once a month for the next year than do the alternative.
Hi Anna:
ReplyDeleteWhen I shut down my Kate account back in Sept of 08, it was maybe the 4th or 5th of the month. I asked them if I would still be charged for September. They naturally said yes that the cut off date was past and that the cancellation wouldn't take effect until October. I listened to all of the messages from my up line better than I had ever listened to them while I was active. I listened to them to laugh at them, talk back at them while the messages were playing, all because my eyes had been opened to the scam. I guess it was worth paying for that last month, considering how much fun I had mocking and making fun of my beloved up line.
David - they're only your beloved upline when you're still a brainwashed member of the Amway cult. Once you get out you see them for the lying scamming assholes that they are and then you can have fun laughing at them. Oh yeah that's what we do around here!
