Facebook was kind of a good thing. I’ve reconnected with people I lost contact with many years ago. I’ve also met some new people through various groups. I’m not huge on Facebook but I check it and post photos and send messages to friends and family. I’m not on there every hour changing my status or seeing what my friends are doing but I’m on a few times a week. I can see why its also known as Lamebook or Crackbook but fortunately I’m not that addicted.
Back in the early days of Facebook whenever somebody posted a comment on your friend’s wall that would show up on your news feeds too. Actually get kind of annoying seeing all these comments that people you don’t know have written on other people’s walls and on and on it’d go. It hasn’t been like that in years.
There’s a woman who I’ve never met but we’re both members of the same online group and have friends in common so we became Facebook friends but we don’t interact all that much. One day I noticed some man had posted a comment to her wall because it showed up in my news feed. The fellow’s photo showed him dressed in a suit and he’d written a message to the effect of thank you for accepting my friend request and I look forward to networking with you in the future.
I thought that was a little weird for someone to say. When you get a new friend on Facebook you write a little hello message and maybe compliment their photos. But looking forward to networking with someone? Screams Amway all over it.
Ambot didn’t sign on to Facebook until after he joined Amway. The sack of shit Platinum would bring it up mostly when he was talking about the name list all IBO’s have to make of people they know. He said if you have 800 900 1000 friends on Facebook you can prospect them all as potential IBO’s or customers.
That seems creepy to me. I’d say if you have more than a couple of hundred friends on Facebook you probably don’t know all of them personally. Using Facebook to snipe friends for the sole purpose of being Amway prospects just seems screwy to me.
But Ambot decides the Platinum might actually know something and spends all his free time and there’s not much of that when you’re involved in Amway looking to snipe new friends he can prospect into the Amway cult. He goes nutso signing up “friends” and Facebook suspended his account. I believe there is a maximum amount of “friends” you’re allowed to sign up daily and he exceeded it. He was getting warning messages from Facebook saying he was approaching his daily limit of friends and that he would get blocked if he didn’t stop. And then his account got suspended! Ha! Did it not occur to Ambot that Facebook puts limits in effect to stop people from spamming or signing up “friends” for business purposes - like potential Amway prospects! Like Ambot is the first person involved in an MLM who thought about using Facebook to prospect for recruits!
Its also possible that some of these unknown friends were complaining to Facebook or maybe after a person gets enough declines on friend requests that Facebook suspends them.
For all the effort Ambot put into signing up unknown people as Crackbook friends and I’d have to say he got a couple of hundred he never got a single one of them to an Amway meeting or purchase any products.
That would be over 99% failure rate recruiting Amway prospects on Facebook. Get used to it. Amway has over 99% failure rate in making money at their scam too.
I love, love, love your posts. All of the Ambots, Scary Kay-ers, Avo-only-care-about-your-$ a$$holes deserve to be called out and shamed by being dragged (drug?) out into the light of day until they (fingers crossed) someday puff into dust like the soulless vampires they are. My sister got into one when she was dead broke, months behind on her rent, going to food banks regularly to keep herself and her kids fed, and it still angers me how much they pushed her relentlessly to non-stop market their crap drinks and powders to her nearest and dearest. Her fucking upline even got her to call me and say she had a dear friend she wanted me to meet (on the phone) before grabbing the phone out of her hand and starting in on her bull$hit spiel. I regret that my response only resulted in her to handing my sister back the phone - I was trying to leave that POS pusher in tears. Please keep up the good work!
ReplyDeleteHi Certified Bullshit Examiner. Good name! Almost makes me think of the Amway Masturbator who sometimes logs in using the name certified product tester. Except the only products he tests are all Amway's specifically their laundry soap. LOL!
DeleteI'm glad you're loving the blog. Around here we say what so many people would love to say to Amway cultists. Like how they're all a bunch of fucking assholes. Ambots hate it when we make fun of their cult leaders and Amway products and what goes on at Amway cult meetings. Whatever we can do to fling it back at those Amway losers.
Sorry to hear about your sister. Amway Ambots prey on people in her situation. It's all about sell the hope not the soap. Ambots fed her with stories about how she'd be making tens of thousands of dollars a month sometime over the next 4 or 5 months and in 2 to 5 years she'd be an Amway gazillionaire with bazillions of dollars in residual income floating in from Amway every month while she sits back and does nothing except maybe walk the beaches of the world.
When a person is in the Amway cult nothing is more important to them than worshipping and tithing the Great Amway God. Kids, job, paying the bills they all come behind Amway. In the top 5 things of importance to an Ambot, Amway fills in all those slots. I strongly believe that members of the Amway cult should turn their children over to CPS. Ambots are unable to afford and properly care for their children plus they're subjected to the twisted religious teachings of the Amway cult.
At least it sounds like you got to live out the fantasy that many of us just dream about - and that's cursing out one of those sick Amway bastards.
MLM pushers are the most vicious scum on earth. They won't take "No" for an answer unless you hit them in the face with a two-by-four when screaming it at them.
ReplyDeleteAnd they prey upon helpless, unfortunate persons in financial distress.
Anonymous - Amway Ambots are the most vicious bastards I've ever met in my life.
DeleteAnd yup they prey upon unfortunate people, especially those who are on social assistance or down and out and convince them that Amway is the path to riches. The reality is Amway is the path to emotional and financial distress.
I got sniped on LinkedIn by someone who studied with me. I have a business who serves corporates, he wanted to meet face to face to talk "business". I saw on LinkedIn he worked for a corporate so I thought let's hear.
ReplyDeleteHere's the thing, when I realised what was going on I excused myself out in a nice way before the A* word was mentioned (I think that was reserved for much later). I was nice then, I knew Amway was not for me, but I did not know how bad it was (read your blog, Joecool's and others and read Merchants of deception). Now after a year he came back, again telling how well this biz is doing, and he's going to resign from his (3rd in the past year) job real soon to attend to his global business.
I now have the opportunity to actually go to a meeting, and do some of the things you blogged about recently. I thought I'll act all nicely, saying this sounded great, let me see your income statement then we talk. What do you mean you don't have one, or non of my business?
Should I go? On the one hand I want to (I can debate quite well I think) but on the other hand I doubt I will reach anyone to think, so I fear it may just be a waste of time, which not being an Ambot, I'm not a fan of.
Still undecided..thought of saying "yes" when invited for the big evening, and not pitching. Then the next day "oh so sorry", and he'll say next time. Then the next time phoning an hour in advance saying "sorry got held up at work" (which will reinforce the idea that I'm ripe for catching so he'll excitedly tell the upline about me. I bet he'll forget I actually am my own boss). The 3rd time I actually pitch all open minded to hear about the business, and then saying aloud to my would be sponsor "is this what you made me drive all the way here? You've gotta be kidding".
Hi kwaaikat. Thanks for sharing your story. I think LinkedIn is huge also for MLM scammers but because it's more business related than friends oriented, the managers there might be tougher at cracking down on those losers.
DeleteAnd no one is immune. Sometimes I check sites where people post resumes because its easier than placing an ad and getting swamped with applications. People are ending their ads saying don't contact me with your MLM scheme. Or reply with the name of your company or the web address so I can see you're a legitimate company. Clearly people looking for work or have services to offer are getting sniped by Amway losers or other pyramid schemes and are revamping their ads.
From reading blogs like mine we tell you what the ambot's sales pitch is and the reluctance to say the "A" word so you're prepared and recognize that its Amway. You know from your research that Amway is bunch of lies and bullshit that will only bring financial and emotional distress to your life and only a fraction of 1% of participants will make money.
Don't waste your time going to an Amway meeting no matter how tempting it is to play games with those losers. That's 3 hours of your life you'll never get back again. As for how well you debate, you'll find that Amway Ambots have a canned response for everything. Except for when you tell them your dream is to star in and produce gay porno flicks. That throws off those Amway prudes! LOL! Except they might quote some twisted religious bunko at you for being a sinner.
No Ambot will ever provide you a profit and loss statement because they're forbidden to keep one because the Amway cult leaders know if they do that they'll figure out quicker how much money they're losing. They won't provide their tax info to prove their business profits and losses because Ambots are tax cheats. They write off everything Amway against the income from their real job. It's the only way Ambots make money in Amway by getting a tax refund except Uncle Sam's not too thrilled about that. LOL!
You can tell the Ambot yes to the meeting and ask for the address. They won't tell you. The Ambot will always want to drive you. That way you don't have a car and can't escape when the bullshit or the fake nice act makes you want to puke and leave. So you tell the Ambot you'll meet him at his house or wherever you want to meet him (and not have him pick you up at your house) and then you no show. And you don't answer your phone either because he'll be frantically trying to reach you. He's already bragged to his Amway cult leader and perhaps to a few other cult followers that he's got a live one coming to the next meeting. And when you no show he's in for a bunch of ridicule.
Or make an appointment for one of those coffee shop meetings with the "sharp businessman with great ideas" the ambot is bragging about and no show for that one too. Ambots are used to no shows. So have fun with the Amway losers but don't waste your time by actually attending an Amway meeting unless you really want to find out what bullshit they're flinging and report back. LOL!
Amway hates the internet, but it realizes the potential to get fresh recruits from social media. Facebook and Linked In are good places to try and capture unsuspecting individuals.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous - for sure Amway hates the Internet because the people they scammed can get the word out to others and warn them to stay away. Amway might like to think we're a vocal minority but their own brochures in the small print show that only a fraction of 1% of all participants will make money. Over 99% will get scammed out of their money. And yeah somewhere around here we have a post where one of our readers played with an Ambot on Facebook over a few months after responding to a fake job ad.
