Amway is full of secrets. Those
Amway fuckers would even claim that the secret to financial success can be
found by becoming an Amway salesperson.
Our sack of shit Platinum was always lording it over us that he held the secret to becoming successful in Amway even though after 15 or 20 years he still had failed to move on to the hallowed ground of Emerald or Diamond before Amway fired him.
And here’s another time for a good old LOL. Where else can you get fired from “your own business” except in Amway.
But whatever - it was something he gloatingly held over our heads. He held the secret and wouldn’t we want to be in his good books and become a member of this secret knowledge club that he was an esteemed member of and learn from him.
Gag! Puke! Fuck you you sack of shit Platinum. The only knowledge I want from you is how we can quit and get back the money we wasted on Amway.
So what secrets do Amway and their brainwashed ambots hold? Actually that’s too broad a question. Amway the company has all kinds of secrets like how much they’re paying ambots in commission each month and breaking it down into a table so prospects can fully understand the business they’re getting into and potential profits they can expect to receive. Columns broken down into number of ambots earning less than $10 a month Between $10 and $50. Between $50 and $100. And so on though numbers would get scarce around the $50 mark. Also how many Amway products are sold to people who are not registered IBO’s. How many current qualified Diamonds there are. How much does each Amway product cost to produce and what is the mark up that ambots get dinged with. Those kind of things. And fuck you Amway for your lack of disclosure.
I’ll leave Amway the company out of this discussion. My blog is all about trashing my upline. If I have to trash Amway in the process so be it but not my primary objective.
So what secrets do our Amway upline hold. Part of the secret knowledge club means knowing how to scam and brainwash others. From what I’ve observed here are some characteristics some of the people in our upline held. Fucking assholes like our sponsor and his sponsor didn’t have these traits. The scary thing is half of these traits are not really all that bad. The difference is the people who like everyone they meet and get along well with others who have no ulterior motive in mind other than being a good friend or a good salesperson as opposed to Amway scammers who are only out to rip off others.

Members of Amway’s secret knowledge club learn the above secrets and how to effectively put them to use so the victim does not realize they’re being scammed. Befriend the victim. Be the victim’s best friend. Convince them to buy overpriced useless Amway products and pay big bucks to attend Amway functions.
Being a member of Amway’s secret knowledge club is learning how to use your powers for evil instead of good.
And the biggest “secret” in
Amway is that the whole thing is a fucking rip-off. This secret is known by
everyone in the organization except for the dumb fuck ambots who are at the
bottom of the downline. There’s no room for you at the top of the pyramid. No
hope in hell of getting rich.
Amway creeps handle prospective new recruits in a way that is very similar to the procedure of unscrupulous men who seduce innocent young women.
ReplyDeleteA man trying to seduce a young virgin will of course "love-bomb" her endlessly. He will praise her beauty to the skies. He will tell her how great she is. He will be as friendly and as accommodating as possible, so as to make a good impression on her, and to create a favorable image of himself in her mind.
This is exactly what an Amway creep will do when trying to hook a new recruit.
Once the girl is prepared by all this preliminary stuff, the seducer will make his move -- slowly, unobtrusively, and gently. The girl (who is inexperienced) will assume that his first physical passes at her are OK and not a big deal. But soon she is compromised, and eventually trapped in a sexual relationship that is abusive and exploitative.
That's also what happens in Amway. Once the Amway IBO gets you to go to a meeting, or to read a certain book, or to meet with his Platinum, and finally convinces you to "take a chance" by signing up, he then carefully nudges you into monthly purchases and "tools" and "functions" -- well, that's it. You've been fucked. After that, the relationship is purely exploitative. The man will use the girl until she finally gets wise and quits.
And that's what happens with the vast majority of new sign-ups in Amway. After a few months they realize what's happening, and they quit.
That's a great example Anonymous. The whole time I'm thinking the way that predatory male in your scenario behaves is similar to any scammer out there. The scammer tells the victim what they want to hear and then ups their game slowly to steal money off their mark.
DeleteI watch enough Dr. Phil to see mostly women, but sometimes men, victims of a romance scammer. What you said about praising her beauty to the skies, telling her how great she is, friendly, accommodating, creating a favorable image, how he wants to get married when he gets back to the states. And then the sob stories begin. He's in the hospital. He's in jail. He's been kidnapped. His passport was stolen. He needs money. One man had given his scammer $750,000, and we're not talking all his money. He sold his house and he borrowed money.
Two things that the fucking assholes in the Amway upline order Ambots to do. If they have a house that is. They "counsel" with them and say get out of debt by selling your house, paying off your credit cards and finding a rental. As soon as the credit cards are down to zero, then the fucking assholes in the Amway upline tell the Ambot to buy more tools. Buy more shitty overpriced Amway products. They're up to their asses in credit card debt in no time.
Scammers have the same goal in mind - to steal as much money from their victims as they can before the victim figures it out or runs out of money. Amway brings you nothing but financial and emotional distress. The same things you'll get from every other scammer out there.
Anna, the problem is that too many people ARE NOT TOUGH-MINDED! They are weak and trusting and believing, like dumb little kids!
ReplyDeleteTo survive in this world, you need a strong streak of cynicism and skepticism. You need to look at every stranger as a potential enemy! You need to have a deep knowledge of how rotten and corrupt every single human being has the potential to be, no matter how nice or friendly he seems!
If you are a policeman or a clinical psychologist or a priest who hears confessions regularly, you have this valuable streak of cynicism and skepticism. You know how evil persons can be.
Unfortunately, a lot of people in America are just too goddamned trusting! And this is how MLMs stay in business.
Anonymous - I never used to look at stangers with cynicism and skepticism until we got messed up by the Amway cult. Now I'm suspicious of every friendly stranger out there. Is there an ulterior plot to engage me in conversation?
DeleteOver my life I've dealt with evil on occasion but I've never dealt with so much evil in one place as when I was at Amway cult meetings and brainwashing conferences.
It'll be interesting to see how MLMs are staying in business this year? Lying and bullshitting and preying on people who became unemployed. When you have no income and you're worrying about paying the rent/mortgage, car note, and credit card bills, are you really thinking of loading up on a bunch of shitty overpriced MLM crap? I'm sure Amway Ambots are going around bullshitting how business is going great to reel in more suckers. I just don't know that people are buying right now.
