I have a ...Ok, so your blog is awesome anna banana! I have a little story to tell. I work at a Barnes & Noble, and some time ago, I started to notice this customer that would come in rather frequently. He didn't spot me right away, but eventually made his way to me after about two months. He would have valid questions at times, like "do you have said title", or I'm lookling for this author" and stuff like that. But after we started talking and he became more familiar he started asking me about places I liked to hang-out at, when I was off and such!<br /><br />Now, he new I am gay because I wear an ID with a rainbow pin that sais "I'M GAY". So he would invite me parties, get-togethers and even on a trip with him to Florida! I would reject every attempt due to the fact I've never been hit-on by another guy or girl (I'm not that attractive-trust me, I know).<br /><br />The last time he tried to invite me to have dinner with him he said "Look, I'm not trying to sell you anything, all I want is to go out with you and get to know you better".<br /><br />I still rejected his last request to hang-out together. A few weeks later a colegue of mine (someone from work) told me she was getting hit-on by some guy and she at first felt flattered by it, but she later found out that all he was doing was prospecting her. One of her friends told her this guy did the same thing to her. A couple of days later she pointed out THE GUY that was flirting with her...SURPRICE, it was the same guy whom wanted to take me out for dinner!<br /><br />My questions is, will theses guys do anything for a prospect? That the most degrating situation I've ever been in, I mean...I feel bad for the guy, he had to pretend he was gay just to bring someone to a meeting!

BBQ in disguise. Thanks for sharing.

My former squad leader from my days in the U.S. Army contacted me through Facebook (I had left the military several years before) asking for my phone number because he was working with a new company (we were Army Reserve) and needed people like me. I assumed that this was legit and that he based this on experience working with me in the Army. He asked to meet up at a Tim Horton's near my home and when we met everything sounded on the level ( no mention of what this entailed just yet). The whole next week was constant texts and calls from this guy that seemed overly friendly, even for this guy, who was pretty friendly to begin with. We met a week later and now the big "A" word comes up. I live in Michigan (HOME of Assway) and hadn't heard of it before, not to mention he referred to UR Associates instead during the first meeting, which I hadn't thought to research yet. Next thing I know his song and dance is in full motion, he gives me a bag of assorted shit, and invites me to a barbecue at his house, all while talking about all the money I can make doing this. I was 29 at the time, with 8 years of military service (including 2 tours in combat), and had just taken a promotion in one of the top corporations in the world with plenty of honest opportunity to continue upward. I'm no dummy, and this sounds far too good to be true. That evening I couldn't research this (internet was out) but I tried one of the XS Energy Drinks in the bag-o-shit...now I drink energy drinks, and HOLY JUMPING FUCKING SHITBALLS! That was some nasty shit! Tried a food bar...fuck that! Threw it in the trash and had a Scotch to get the taste out of my mouth. Then, not one hour after I had gotten home...my phone rings. Now his "business associates" are going to be at this barbecue, which originally sounded like it would be his wife and kids, plus myself and fiance at the time. Something's amiss. The next day, I start researching Amway...SONOFABITCH! Aside from this blog, TONS of other sites saying the same thing, which just cemented what was already starting to form in my mind...RUN! Told him I couldn't make it to his barbecue, and the day of, I'll be damned of one of his "associates" didn't call me himself to pressure me into coming, prompting me to ask "Hey, motherfucker? How'd you even get my number?" After saying no in very impolite terms, I hung up. The original aquaintence of mine, no joke, texted or called me several times a day for months. I just ignored it until it stopped. Funny part is, after he got the hint he unfriended me on Facebook...guess Amway even trumps serving in combat together for those Ambots.Tekidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02343540284853234986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2623443549536997676.post-43126717581564587202014-01-14T21:05:06.534-08:002014-01-14T21:05:06.534-08:00I was told by a top producer in a mlm deal to neve...I was told by a top producer in a mlm deal to never prospect family,friends, Facebook etc. His trick for building massive organization was going after professionals, salon owners, and sales super stars.

Their FB profiles all had buzzwords like J.O.B. in the statuses and entrepreneur or CEO of some fictional company as their employment. Apparently someone hacked into her FB and sent these friend requests. Creepy! She also got phone calls from strangers with "business opportunities" who said our friend gave them her name (though he denies it). She started screening her calls, changed her FB password and deleted and blocked all of them, including our friend, and has had no further problems. Damaged our friendship with Ambot, but that's what Amway does to relationships.Like-a-momnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2623443549536997676.post-73921020609388685892014-01-13T21:53:35.441-08:002014-01-13T21:53:35.441-08:00Remember guys.

Clearly, this guy was the head of all Amway training organizations simultaneously and now millions of IBOs will start duplicating this behavior. Careful!
