I’ve seen comments from people that they’ve applied for
sales jobs listed on places like Craigslist only to find they’ve been sucked in
by an Amway IBO scammer posting a fake job ad.
On Craigslist their terms of use specifically state that MLM reps can not be
posting there but they do anyway and Amway IBO’s are not the only guilty party
but they are the majority of the offenders. Usually these ads get flagged off
if they blatantly mention the MLM or one of the products which might alert some
job seekers who it is.
It must really suck if you’re looking for a legitimate sales job and respond to
an ad and get called for an “interview” at a local coffee shop only to be
nailed with an Amway board plan presentation.
Finding a job is tough enough without these fucking MLM scammers trying to
snipe you into their pyramid scheme.
Ambot and I noticed a sign posted on a telephone pole. I don’t recall the exact
wording but it said something to the effect of be your own boss and run a
health, sports, and beauty business. Even though it was crudely painted it
included a toll free number (Communikate?) to give it an air of authenticity.
We’re pretty sure it was Scamway.
Likewise people who post resumes on various job sites end up getting trolled by
MLM participants who are trying to “grow their business”. In fact you don’t
even need a resume up you an just post an ad for something to sell on
Craigslist and some demented ambot might phone to pretend they’re interested in
buying and then spring an Amway presentation on you.
These ambots have to keep coming up with new ideas on how to trick prospects.
The thing with becoming an Amway Independent Business Owner is its just a fancy
term for a commissioned salesperson. Amway is just a sales job no matter how
much the upline tries to bullshit you that its not selling. I guess they were
kind of right. Its more self consuming Amway products instead of selling them.
But to succeed in Amway you do have to be good at sales, either selling the
board plan and signing up IBO’s into your downline or selling overpriced
substandard products and have the art of selling down to convince buyers this
shit is really high quality.
Its like a vicious circle sales job cycle. Amway sells products to gullible
salespeople and tells them to recruit other salespeople to sell the Amway
products. Once the ambot has exhausted all friends and family and random people
in the mall they turn to walking the neighborhood and leaving ads in people
mailboxes, posting signs on telephone poles, or posting bogus sales job ads on
Craigslist. Once they get a live prospect the Ambot assholes get the recruit in
front of their cult leaders to close the sale. That’s because - according to
the upline - people on the lower levels of the Amway pyramid are too
stupid to close a sale when it comes to bringing in new cult members.
Bogus business. Bogus sales jobs ads. Yup it all seems to go hand in hand with
ScAmway.
The thing that is most embarrassing about the entire Amway racket is what you describe above: the sheer brazen chutzpah of Amway ambots who try to trick people into coming to meetings and presentations by lying.
ReplyDeleteHow can they possibly defend this? Lying to people on Craigslist about a job opening, swearing up and down that they are not pushing Amway, assuring people that they need not sell products at all, and promising them that they will be rich enough to retire in just a few short years... all of this downright LYING would make any normal person blush with shame.
But the Amway freaks are not ashamed at all. They are cult-ridden and brainwashed, and truly believe that anything that promotes the Amway Ponzi scheme is acceptable and OK.
That's one of the many sad things about Amway -- it turns people into mindless robots without any morals.
Anonymous - it looks like scammers with fake job opportunities are randomly phoning or texting victims now. I get around 5 losers every month reaching out to me even though I'm not interested in a job. If I respond asking how the fuck did you get my number I get an auto responder. Delete and block. Good advice for anyone that's being bugged by an Amway Ambot!
DeleteAmway losers aren't the only scammers out there and we have to keep up with the times to know how they might find us. Amway losers are not always lurking in Barnes & Noble. They could be randomly phoning and texting hoping for a hot prospect.
The Amway losers are getting more frantic every year. Nobody wants to join. Ambots are panicking.
DeletePhoning prospects at random, on the chance that they might be interested, is a sign of sheer desperation. The more intelligent Ambots know that they need a down-line to make any real money, but getting even a single new recruit is a one-in-a-thousand long shot.
All fraudulent things eventually will collapse. So will Amway.
Anonymous - yes! We are all definitely looking forward to the day Amway collapses. Amway has had a good run at scamming unknown numbers of people. It's time to shut their shit show down!
