Scammed Into An Amway Cult Meeting

The other day on the radio the hosts were talking about a woman who’d applied for a job and had a telephone or video chat interview. She was offered the job and asked if she could start the following day.

She was a little surprised but she was currently unemployed and was able to start right away. The company was shorthanded and desperately needed staff. She went in to the workplace in the morning, was shown around and then basically left to herself to figure out the job. It doesn’t take her long to figure out the place is in major chaos and she quit within the hour.

That got the hosts talking about what’s the fastest you’ve ever quit a job and several callers phoned in with their stories.

But it was actually what one of the hosts said that caught my attention. While going to broadcast school she was working as a cashier. One of the customers was chatting her up and she mentioned she was looking for an office job.

The customer tells her she’s in luck. He’s got an opening for an office clerk. He gives her the address and the time for an interview. He’s able to meet her in the evening so it works into her schedule between classes and her job. She’s pretty excited about the interview that she doesn’t ask any questions about the company or the work she’ll be doing.

She’s driving to the address expecting it to be in an industrial park or business section. But instead she’s in a residential area. She’s thinking this is weird but a lot of people have home based jobs. She goes up to the door and is invited in and there’s other people there too. She doesn’t know if they’re all applying for the same office job or if they do other jobs in the company.

They all go into a room and sit down and she’s now listening to what she calls the most boring presentation she’s ever heard.

LOL I think we all know where this is going LOL!

But then she says she thinks the other people in the room must be actors because throughout this boring presentation they’re all cheering and clapping.

She doesn’t say Amway on the radio but she describes a few things so there’s no doubt to Amway savvy people that she got scammed into an Amway cult meeting.

After the presentation she confronts the man about the office job she came here to interview for. He does the usual Amway routine of lies and bullshit and tries to get her to sign up.

She shuts him down and says she’d rather be working the minimum wage cashier job than go through another boring presentation like the one she just sat through. And then leaves.

Promises of fake job offers are part of the lies that Amway Ambots use to trick potential recruits to come to ScAmway meetings.
