Like all MLM scams they'd have to mark up the travel considerably so everyone in the upline can make money. Its like when you enter a contest for a trip to Hawaii or Las Vegas or Mexico and get the call that you "won" only to find out all you "won" was the airfare and you only "win" the airfare if you buy the hotel package. The hotel conveniently costs a few hundred bucks more a night that what it'd cost if you booked it directly or through Travelocity or hotels.com or wherever. Because they jack up the hotel price to cover the airline tickets plus all the scammer workers got to be paid.

I saw an expose on a different vacation scam (though they all pretty much fall under the same pattern) where one pays $3200 for a "package" which includes an "exclusive" website to look up vacation deals, and during the expose they found that for every "deal" they found on the $3200 site they then did a free google search to find other deals to the SAME hotel, SAME airline, etc that were hundreds LESS. Same thing with Amway. For every product they sell, you can find better products for way less. That's why they are not about the products, just pulling in more and more victims. In other words, a PYRAMID scheme.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2623443549536997676.post-84109612151127646532015-03-10T11:51:59.788-07:002015-03-10T11:51:59.788-07:00Hi ayangmi.

Once the ambot realizes they got scammed yeah they desperately want to find some downline to make money off so they can earn back their losses. Its really hard to find one person to sign up to Scamway let alone enough other warm bodies to actually make income from.<br /><br />And then the whole conscience thing kicks in knowing you're a victim, do you really want to sign up other people to be victims too.<br /><br />To get ahead in Amway you have to be a good liar and have no morals.

Do you know more about this company? It seems just as shady and cultish like Amway. I have never had an interest to join any MLM and I can't believe people fall for this all the time. Same format as you have described in your many articles on this blog. Same lingo and perspective about your current job and life situation. It must prey on people who are not content with their lives and not happy about their jobs. I'm not doing what I love currently, but I'm also not naive and dumb enough to see that these MLM's are short fixes and if that. I just wanted to know if you knew more about this company http://www.worldventures.com/ Thanks!ayangmihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04138482108653481586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2623443549536997676.post-41623283017291077862015-03-10T09:16:17.529-07:002015-03-10T09:16:17.529-07:00"The System" is built on double stuffing..."The System" is built on double stuffing the IBO (I'm Bending Over).

I think Amway is basically a cult franchise that peddles domination and abuse in exchange for $$. They take your money and hold your nose to their grind wheel. It's difficult to manipulate someone who walks the beaches with lots of money but it's easy to control someone who perpetually scrapes together their last dollar to dry clean the same suit and tinker with the old junk car to make it to the next cult function to worship their masters and hope to get praised for being a good little cultling. While their chances of actually getting rich at selling this crap are somewhere between winning the lottery and flying with Peter Pan to Neverland, a more realistic hope is that they might recruit some meager downline of their own. That way they can indulge themselves in their own fantasies of power within that fantasy world called Amway. It's easier to take being shit on if you have someone below you to pass the shit on to. To the Ambot perception of wealth and power trumps the reality of being a poor powerless sucker. The pioneers at the top of the Amway fraud are pure perpetrators, those at the bottom of it are pure victims of it but as soon as they get a downline they can be both.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2623443549536997676.post-62163169926710954332015-03-10T08:56:51.784-07:002015-03-10T08:56:51.784-07:00Anonymous - yeah really.

Those who shell out the bucks to go to an event are far deeper in the hole afterwards, so you'll need to buy a lot more tools and product to bury in your garage to try to catch up to them! Hurry! They are way deeper in debt now that they attended that once in a lifetime event (assuming one's definition of the word "once" is "often") than you are if you missed it. <br /><br />You know that a person is brainwashed when they go to multiple events and never stop to think "um, didn't I see all those exact same bragging slideshows the last 10 events I went to? How is watching people brag about their wealth and buying products that no one wants so they collect dust in my garage INVESTING in a business? Just what is Amway's definition of 'investing'?

Of course the money would be better spent at the Chiropractors office due to back pain being crammed into a hotel room for 2 with 15 other IBO's. Sounds like a real blast. So now months later, with his back all stove in, the Ambot will listen to the same tired bullshit while swerving through traffic. He will smile gleefully as pipedreams fill his head while cutting off traffic in his smoldering heap of a car fresh off set of The Road Warrior. And where is this future Diamond going? To his multiple part time JOBs to pay for all this Amway and Tool shit until he can "retire". Of course he's so brainwashed that he's not sure why he has a chronic burning sensation between his cheecks. May need to invest in a proctologist as well. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
