Married To An Ambot Helps Other Scam MLM Victims Too
Many pyramid schemes use the Amway model to scam victims. If you look into many of these other MLM scams you’ll notice similar cult tactics and buzzwords to create excitement on the bots.
Too many times we have very similar stories as victims of other pyramid schemes.
Here’s one of our reader’s stories:
Hi There - Anna Banana excellent blog with informative view points and experiences.
Mine is very similar story probably familiar with a lot of folk.
An old girlfriend of mine got hooked up with a similar MLM/Pyramid product- Kyani - recently.
The change in her personality was literally night and day - I witnessed the transformation from a confident, kind, caring, strong independent woman to the brainwashed shell she is now.
It started initially with cryptic messages about "great opportunities" and "needing to talk, valued opinions" etc. Needing to meet for coffee to discuss things and getting the scripted txts - pitching the product and "business" opportunity.
Short story is I initially - gently - called her out on her BS - asked her to stop pitching and was pretty much confronted with denial, hostility, demeaning actions.
I haven't heard from her since.... MLM's are destructive and change people and their relationships - in a definite negative direction.
Anna Banana Responds:
Hi Anonymous. Yup these pyramid schemes operate pretty much the same. Everything you've said, you've probably heard someone else on this blog share similar experience or maybe read the same story somewhere else online.
The personality change is awful to live through. The Amway cult takes a person who was previously nice, caring, independent, and confident and turns them into an angry, condescending, sneering, arrogant, know-it-all miserable bastard.
Amway cult followers use the same cryptic messages. Even though they've already signed up to the pyramid scheme they ask others to come to a meeting about this great opportunity because they value their opinion and want to know what they think of “the business”. And then when you tell them what you really think - its a bunch of bullshit - you get hostility. So much for your valued input! LOL! And Amway Ambots always want to meet for coffee. They'll string along a prospect with a line that goes something that they know a successful businessman who's an entrepreneur with some great ideas and they can't promise you anything but how'd you like to meet for coffee. And then you end up meeting some Amway loser who has a regular job because he needs the dreaded J.O.B. in order to afford his expensive Amway habit.
And the Amway upline is all about destroying relationships. Destroy anyone who won't join the Amway cult is their slogan. Your old girlfriend's upline were already working on her to end the relationship. Really you're better off without her. You don't need any more emotional and financial distress in your life like these MLM cults bring you. It's too bad the way these pyramid schemes destroy lives but at least you don't have to put up with those losers in your life anymore.
Hope you have a great life with someone who's not throwing away their money at a cult!

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.

All the MLMs have a problem with cultish temptations, and with the tendency to promise big and deliver small.
ReplyDeleteLuLaRoe is now in serious trouble, and will probably collapse soon. Thousands of women have been bilked by the company.
I do feel somewhat sorry for the originally good MLMs, like Avon and Tupperware. I believe they did provide an honest opportunity for some women to make money. Unfortunately even they did not escape some of the evils that became a mark of MLMs.
Anonymous - yeah I'd be happy to see LuLaRoe collapse not that I have any dimes in that fight but this is another scam MLM that has destroyed lives which is why we included an article about them on the right side of the page.
DeleteI'm not sure if it's still happening but a few years ago Avon started to jump on the Amway scam teachings and get their distributors to start pushing for recruiting. Which is too bad whenever that happens to a previously pretty good company.
