About 2 months after Facebook
became live on the Internet a guy I know sent me a friend request. I didn’t
know what Facebook was so I left the email alone for awhile and then one day I
finally clicked on the link, accepted the friend request and registered. He
sent me a message saying he was happy I’d joined and almost right away a couple
other people I knew through him also sent me friend requests. They already had
many friends signed up and some of them sent me friend requests too even though
I didn’t actually know them I accepted the request. In the beginning I thought
it was weird that people who had never met me in person wanted to be my friend.
I joined a couple of groups - schools I went to and organizations I was part of
- and signed up people I really knew as friends. I even sent friend requests to
a few people I didn’t know but were friends of friends. Still seems weird.
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.
Amway assholes are so lacking in class that they'll try to chat up prospective recruits at weddings and funerals. They have no sense of decency, or respect. They'll bother strangers in restaurants and hotel lobbies, they'll annoy you in shops, and of course they'll make use of social media to get up your ass about their stupid soap-suds MLM.
ReplyDeleteThe problem is that up-line scum are constantly screaming at them: YOU HAVE TO BE THINKING ABOUT "AMWAY" 24-7! This is why Amway assholes have to prospect every human being they can possibly connect with.
Thinking about something 24-7 is a symptom of mental disease. Psychiatrists call it obsessive-compulsive disorder, or mania.
Anonymous - its sheer desperation of trying to make a buck. Everyone laughing at them because Amway is a scam so if they make it big then they can laugh at everyone who was laughing at them LOL! Also sheer desperation to find anyone to buy Amway shit or come to a meeting so they won't face the abuse from the fucking assholes in the Amway upline that despite all their hard work they're not making money. The reason for that is most of the world has already heard about Amway and know its a scam. The people who haven't heard about Amway do a search on the Internet. read other people's stories of financial and emotional distress and are smart enough to stay away.
DeleteYes an Amway Ambot must always be thinking about Amway and how to pitch everyone they see. Amway is a worse than a mental disease but it's definitely something pyschiatrists have dealt with = people who have been brainwashed by a cult.
When my cousin was flogging Amway back in the 1970s, he would of course give the whole shpiel and draw the chalk circles and talk about what a great business opportunity it was.
ReplyDeleteWhen I asked him if he wasn't going to be bored by selling all these silly products, he said "Yes, I know what you mean. I'm only in Amway to build a big down-line and retire and collect residual income. I CERTAINLY DON'T WANT TO SPEND THE BULK OF MY LIFE SELLING THESE CRUMMY SOAP-SUDS."
Little did he know that being in Amway as a core lifer is like being incarcerated with no chance of parole. You are condemned to live a life of Amway, 24-7, and you'll be chained to those shitty soap-suds forever.
Anonymous - that's right. The lifer Ambots are been brainwashed to believe that they can't quit now not when success is right around the corner. That's just desperation from the fucking assholes in the Amway upline who don't want to lose the pennies commission they make off that sucker and how it keeps them in a higher BV bracket. The old brainwashing about how after 2 to 5 years of working part time in ScAmway 10 to 15 hours a week and then bazillions of dollars in residual income will come rolling in for the rest of their life. That bullshit has been flung by Amway cult leaders for decades!
DeleteThe biggest and most outrageous lie in Amway is that you are "helping others in your down-line," even if you aren't making a profit. You are helping them to "achieve their dreams."
ReplyDeleteWhat total BULLSHIT! It makes Amway sound like the Peace Corps.
In Amway, the only people you are helping are your immediate up-line-sponsor, as well as the fat-assed big pins that go up to you Platinum and Diamond asshole-bosses. You are working FOR THEM.
Anonymous - I can tell you that I don't give a flying fuck that some asshole in the Amway upline needs to get 2500 PV or 5000 PV or whatever so they can reach the next stupid level in Amway and the orders are issued to the downline to buy more Amway shit. No one in the Amway upline is helping anyone beneath them without some financial benefit to themselves. Those Amway fuckers all lie about how they're giving up something more important in their lives to show up and "help" the ambots in their downline but you can be pretty sure none of them is showing up for free.
DeleteScamway products are spendy too. I was in “the business” back in the early 1980’s when they changed $12 for eight bars of soap. Different prices today however back then $12 bought you a lot more for your dollar. Upline always had the same bullshit line, “well, the products are more concentrated. That’s why they cost more.” I remember my dad always comparing the Scamway products with what he was buying his “non-Scamway” or “negative products”my father would say, “hey, check this out. I just bought ten bars of soap for a dollar!” Which would shoot the Scamway prices down and make them look like the crooks that they are and always will be. Thank you for this wonderful forum. I was in Scamway back in the early 1980’s and learned many great life lessons at a young age and have avoided all kinds of cults, pyramid schemes, ponzi schemes and crooks from my brief time in Scamway. Cheers to all, J
DeleteHi J. Thank you for stopping by! It's good to hear that you learned at a young age how to recognize pyramid schemes and crooks thanks to ScAmway. And Ambots still have this over the top obsession with all things that they perceive to be negative. Ambots haven't gotten any more positive in the last 4 decades LOL! Amway losers are the most negative nasty vicious evil motherfuckers I've ever met in my life.
