One night somebody in our
upline - or perhaps crossline I was never quite sure where he fit into the
equation but he was at every meeting I attended - brought a guest with him to
an Amway meeting. A young lady who didn’t look quite right. As is par for the
course whenever someone manages to drag a prospect to a meeting all the IBO’s
in the room welcomed her with loving arms and showered her with phoney attention
and interest. After a few minutes of talking to her you could figure out she
wasn’t all there. Something not quite right in her head. Perhaps a high
functioning autistic? She could carry on a reasonably decent conversation but
after spending a few minutes with her you’d see something wasn’t quite right.
Due to her disability she was unable to drive and so the IBO who was
prospecting her was driving her to and from the meeting.
She sat down beside me and I asked how she’d met the ambot. She told me she had
posted an ad on Craigslist looking for friends and good conversation and he’d
responded.
That stunned me because you never know what kind of weirdos you’ll attract
doing that. I’m aware that Craigslist has a personal section but I thought it
was mostly for people looking to hook up. Well maybe she was trying to do that
too I don’t know.
But I get the picture. The ambot who’d brought her to the meeting was trolling
Craigslist ads looking for women with no other motive other than to get them
to an Amway meeting. Well maybe he was trying to get them into bed too! I think
this young lady enjoyed the companionship of a room full of people happy to
shower her with fake love. The price to pay? Listening to the bullshit from the
sack of shit Platinum for 3 hours.
Did she ever join up with Amway? Not that I know of. I saw her at 3 meetings I
think and oddly enough I saw her at Free Enterprise Days. I was walking through
the lobby undoubtedly on my way out of there to find a Starbucks or Burger King
for some nourishment and I spotted her wandering around by herself. Fortunately
she didn’t spot me and I was able to make a clean getaway! That was the last
time I ever saw her. Obviously her potential sponsor had given her a ride to
FED, paid for her ticket, and then ditched her once inside the arena. I knew if
I stopped and talked to her curiosity would get the better of me and I’d ask
about the sleeping arrangements. Some things its just better you don’t know.
None of my business anyway.
The real sad thing is the ambot who’d stalked her on Craigslist lost interest
in her real fast after he met her and realized she wasn’t fully functioning. By
the second or third meeting he’d driven her to he didn’t want the burden of
responsibility for her anymore and was checking the room to see if anyone else
could give her a ride home. Yeah just the type of really nice guy you want in
your life. Asshole! But what else do you expect from a self absorbed fucking
Amway ambot? The reality was this young lady was just looking for people to
hang out with for a few hours and she didn’t have the mental or financial
capacity to buy into the Amway scheme. The IBO figured that out fast enough
that his plan didn’t work and tried to ditch her but she kept showing interest
in going to Amway meetings to be around people. So desperate to spend time with
someone, anyone she’ll go to an Amway meeting! Shit!
I don’t know about posting personal ads on Craigslist. The first thing that
comes to my mind is the Craigslist Killer. The second thing that now comes to
my mind thanks to the young lady’s experience is the possibility of getting
prospected by some fucking Amway IBO thinking this is a cool way to pick up
recruits.
But where will it end on Craigslist? Perhaps ambots are trolling every category
and calling people who’ve put phone numbers on their ad. Can you imagine if
your cat didn’t come home and you placed an ad on Craigslist and some ambot
phones you to say he spotted your ad and you get all excited thinking he’s
found your missing cat only to find out he’s prospecting you to join up with
Amway. Or you place an ad looking for a boyfriend with similar interests only
to get a response by some ambot pervert. Or people looking for a job and post
an ad on Craigslist with their resume and qualifications and someone calls and
says they’d like to hire you and set up an interview. You get all excited about
landing an interview and go to the meeting which is oddly enough being held at
Dunkin’ Donuts only to find its a scam and an Amway IBO wants to show you the
board plan.
Craigslist does put up a warning about affiliate scammers who prey on people
posting on their classifieds but people can get all the warnings and red flags
waved under their nose and they still might not realize they’re being set up by
a scammer.
Get a clue you lousy ambots! People put up legitimate ads on Craigslist and
they hope for legitimate, helpful responses. They don’t want to be recruited
into Amway! You’re just contributing to Amway’s bad image by pulling shit like
this.
It just seems creepy to me that Amway IBO’s are stalking people on Craigslist.
I bet some kingpin has a CD out there on how to troll for prospects on
Craigslist.
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!

Oh Shit! The Creepy Craigslist Ambot!
2 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.
Imagine how insulted a woman would be when she finds out that the man who showed interest in her on Craigslist was actually only aiming at recruiting her into some damned MLM scam like Amway.
ReplyDeleteWomen enjoy male attention. It flatters them. But to discover that they guy who is chatting you up is only concerned with making you part of his down-line? Man, that must really rankle.
Anonymous - a woman left a comment here a few years ago. She was on a dating app and met up with a man for coffee. I think they were in their early 20s. She couldn't believe it when he grabbed napkins and started drawing Amway circles on it. Real businessmen probably have better marketing materials than free napkins at McDonald's or wherever they were at! So she looked up Amway when she got home and found this blog. I remember her saying it was too bad he was an Ambot because he was cute and if he hadn't been an Amway loser might have had a shot at getting laid. The Amway cult leaders must be holding seminars on how to meet prospects using Craigslist and dating apps. Reality when the woman figures out he's an Amway loser? Strike out!
