Lying Amway Asshole of the Week - April 24, 2012

So I get some lying Amway asshole from Seattle Washington who showed up at this blog to leave his lying words of wisdom. Yet another lying Amway asshole who accuses me of having a job - not that I think people who have jobs is a bad thing I haven’t worked a job for someone else in years. So I gave the lying little Amway asshole 12 hours to prove that I have a job - where I work and how much I make etc - and if I don’t then I’m going to feature him as the lying Amway asshole of the week. So here we are! When pressed to prove their lies, lying Amway assholes scramble back into the sewer like the little rats they are.

Wow you people are very misinformed or just don't care to learn some facts. Amway is a very successful business model for over 50 years. How long has your company been doing business? Are there some bad IBOs? Yes, just like there are bad people in every industry. Amway did $10.9 billion is sales in 2011 and 63% of that is returned to the producing IBO. If you don't produce you don't get paid. It is that easy. Artistry brand skin care and cosmetics is used by Miss America and all of the contestants. Amway has been giving International Environmental Awards before going green was cool. I could go on and on how you are misinformed but it is actually a waste of my time. I am trruly sorry you have devoted an entire blog to stealing people's dream. Enjoy your lives of working for other people and worrying if your company or government job will be around in the future.

Seeing as how this was a post where I made fun of a searcher who was staying at a hotel and looking for information on Amway’s book of marriage I hardly see how I was misinformed or didn’t care to learn the facts.

If there is an Amway book of marriage I admitted I don’t know anything about it but I’m not surprised that such a thing exists. Seeing as how this Amway asshole from Seattle says I’m misinformed and don’t care to learn the facts that tells me an Amway book of marriage does exist and the fact that I was poking fun at it and saying no sex when you’re married until you hit Emerald may be incorrect. Maybe you can have sex after you’re married when you reach Platinum according to the Amway book of marriage. I don’t know. Amway asshole from Seattle didn’t clarify exactly what I was wrong about.

Amway has been a successful business model for 50 years? By whose standards? Who says so? What legitimate person - who is not a fucking Amway asshole - says that and where do they have their facts? And more importantly where in my post about the Amway book of marriage did I even bring up the Amway business model? Fucking jerk ass Amway ambot!

Typical Amway ambot strategy to change the topic as a distraction technique.

Amway did 10.9 billion in sales last year? So what? That’s good for the people who own Amway. Not so good for the lying Amway asshole IBO’s in their sales force who only get a few bucks in commission. And more importantly where in my post about the Amway book of marriage did I even bring up how much Amway made or didn’t make last year? Fucking jerk ass Amway ambot! My blog is for pointing out how my Amway upline and everybody’s Amway upline are a bunch of lying assholes! My blog isn’t to discuss Amway sales and business plan.

Lets talk about Amazon! 40 billion in sales last year. MUCH better $$$ than Amway! Been around a lot less time than Amway. No one goes around accusing Amazon of being a pyramid scheme. They do get accused of other things though! Namely being a bad ass employer who don’t supply air conditioning in their warehouses and staff passing out from heat exhaustion. http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2393303,00.asp You’d think Amazon could take some of that 40 billion and put in a few air conditioners.

Likewise you’d think those greedy ass owners of Amway could give their employees benefits. Amway employees show up on my blog and leave comments that the company treats them like shit. As if I needed any proof of that, in 2011 Christmas Day fell on a Sunday. On Monday December 26 the businesses that are open tend to be restaurants and retail because a lot of people got Christmas money and they want to spend it ASAP. Banks, office employees, non-essential services get the day off on Monday if Christmas Day falls on a Sunday, its the right thing for employers to do. Not Amway. I had an Amway employee who was really pissed off not to get a day off for Christmas and a long weekend like many employers offer that they were fucking around on the Internet instead of getting their work done and one of the places they surfed to was my blog.

Artistry is used by Miss America contestants because Amway supplies it and pays them endorsement fees! Fucking moron! Do you think Miss America does it out of the goodness of their heart? Do you think the Miss America pageant actually pays for this shit? Its called endorsement! Its called advertising! If McDonald’s paid me a million bucks to appear in a commercial and I had to chomp into a Big Mac and say it tastes great I’d do it too. Many companies pay models and spokespeople. And more importantly where in my post about the Amway book of marriage did I even bring up the Amway Artistry cosmetics or Miss America? Fucking jerk ass Amway ambot! Using the old Amway technique of throwing in other shit to distract people away from what is being discussed.

So who gives a flying fuck if Amway has been giving environmental awards or not? Where in my post about the Amway book of marriage did I even bring up the Amway and enviromental awards? I brought it up in another post a long time ago. Fucking lying jerk ass Amway ambot!

If you want to waste everyone’s time on how misinformed we are about the Amway book of marriage that was pertaining to my post - then keep to the fucking topic! How are we misinformed about the Amway book of marriage and that the Amway asshole looking for it isn’t a fucking loser. Stick with the topic you lying Amway asshole instead of throwing out distraction bullshit about how misinformed we are and then spouting off a bunch of bullshit that has nothing to do with the topic I posted about which is making Amway upline look like a bunch of assholes.

I have devoted my entire blog to stealing people’s dreams? Where in my post about the Amway book of marriage did I even bring up people’s dreams? Fucking lying Amway ambot asshole! My entire blog is devoted to showing everyone what a bunch of assholes my Amway upline are and how the lying Amway ambots that show up here to post comments are a bunch of assholes too? How is discussing Amway assholes stealing people’s dreams? Fucking lying Amway asshole!!!! Amway is the biggest dream stealer around!

Enjoy my life working for other people? Here’s what got you in trouble in the first place you lying little Amway asshole from Seattle. What job? I enjoy my life just fine helping my husband in our business as we slip into semi retirement so our business won’t be around forever when we decide to retire for good. What’s it to you anyway you fucking lying Amway bastard from Seattle? How does whether or not our business is still operating years from now affect your life one way or the other? We're a local business. We don’t have clients in Seattle so obviously you’re not one of our customers. Whew! I wouldn’t want a customer who is a lying Amway asshole anyway!

What makes you so sure Amway is going to be around in a few years? People who have been scammed by Amway and Amway’s former cult members take to the Internet and let others know of our experiences. Eventually due to mass saturation the Amway pyramid scheme will be so well known that the cult leaders will be unable to recruit more members to scam.

So why don’t you take a one way trip up the space needle you fucking troublemaking lying ambot? The world doesn’t need any more lying Amway assholes!

15 Worst Amway Items to Find Under the Christmas Tree

I read an article obviously written by someone with a sense of humor who has a list of the 15 worst items for the holiday wish list from Amazon. http://money.cnn.com/galleries/2011/technology/1112/gallery.weird-amazon/index.html

Oddly enough all of those Amazon items I can absolutely see Amway wanting to get on board and offer the same things to the ambots. Oh sure. IBOFB is going to show up here and claim that Amway already offers cremation services and bags of bones!

So seeing as how every Amway meeting I attended the cult leader would be comparing Amway and Amazon (Amazon rules!) I have taken the opportunity by choosing the 15 worst Amway items to find under the Christmas tree.

What?! Only 15?! I have to stop at 15???!!!!  Shit! How do I narrow it down? Amway has so many shitty overpriced products I’d hate to find any of them under the Christmas tree. So here is my 15 in no particular order and like I say I hate to stop at only 15.

1. XS (Piss Water) Energy Drinks
2. Perfect Water
3. Any kind of Nutrilite vitamin
4. SA8 Laundry Soap
5. Amway Dish Drops dishwasher detergent
6. Amway Trim Advantage
7. Glister toothpaste
8. Satinique shampoo
9. Amway Debut tampons
10. Any kind of Nutrilite food bars
11. Artistry lipstick
12. Nutripet dog food
13. Artistry eye shadow
14. Artistry time defiance cream
15. Any Amway CD

The really scary thing is that when we were in the Amway cult can see my Ambot going out and buying those shitty Amway products to give to me or others as Christmas presents.

Talk about a really fucking nasty surprise when you get up on Christmas morning and see what's under the tree!

4 Things Never to Buy

4 Things Never to Buy from Amazon Amway

I read this article about 4 things never to buy from Amazon but I decided the same list also applies to Amway.

1. Groceries - that would be anything you buy from Amway that you can stick inside your mouth and consume (food bars, vitamins, XS, Perfect Water, etc)

2. Hardware and Hand Tools - I don’t recall ever seeing any hardware items being sold by Amway but its a good idea not to buy them if they do offer them. Get them much cheaper at Lowes or Home Depot! As for hand tools, lets knock off the “hand”. Do not buy tools from Amway. That’s called investing in the tool scam. Don’t do it!

3. Home Furnishings - I’ve seen some home furnishing from Amway or the Ribbons catalogue. For the most part they’re substandard quality and overpriced. Save money and buy from Walmart.

4. Cleaning Supplies - yup, don’t buy them from Amazon and don’t buy them from Amway either for the same reason listed in the article - too expensive!

Is Amway Really One of the Top Internet Retailers?

I was reading an article about Amazon being the top retailer of Internet sales coming in around $30 billion last year. The article also said Amazon had 3 times as much in Internet sales as its next competitor.

Seeing as how I get ambots showing up at my blog to call me a negative unchristian dream stealer quitting loser and bragging about how awesome Amway is and had $10 billion in sales last year I thought it might be possible Amway was in the number 2 spot.

Ha! I should know by now to discount everything an ambot says as a lie!

That article meant its time for a Google search for the top Internet retailers and I found the top 500 here:

http://www.internetretailer.com/top500/list/

The number 2 spot with about $10 billion in sales is - wait for it - TA DA! - Staples!

Wait how can that be? All those Ambots showing up on my blog bragging about Amway is $10 billion in sales last  year.

Well maybe they’re off a bit in the list. Surely Amway with their $10 billion in sales has to be close to Staples number 2 spot.

Number 3 - Apple with $5 billion.

Oh oh. Now there’s a huge drop. Double. What the hell happened to Amway and all those ambots bragging about the $10 billion? Surely they weren’t lying were they?

Hmm. Amway. Ambots. Liars.

Yup its all making sense.

OK forget the drum roll. I’ll just keep scrolling down until I find Amway.

And down and down and down and down.....

They’re number 28. On a list of 500? I would think the ambots would be basking in glory about that and bragging about it to everyone. So how much does #28 make in sales? $912 million.

Uh, what happened to 10 billion? This seems to fall about 9 billion short.

Amway. Ambots. Liars.

Who’s #500? Magnet Street with $11 million.

I tried a few other searches such as the world’s top Internet sales. On those lists that are usually about 100 strong Walmart is number one and Amazon drops way down. Amway or any of its incarnations (Alticor, Quixtar) is nowhere to be found. You’d think if what those IBO’s are always bragging about 10 billion I’d find the company sitting in with other companies of comparative sales.  

Hmm. Amway. Ambots. Liars.

I did find Amway on a list a few years old. It was number 6 or 8 but didn’t say how much in sales.

I get it. Ambots parrot what their cult leaders say. They “duplicate” those lies. A cult leader spreads the word that Amway made $10 billion in sales last year and the gullible cult followers believe it and repeat it and brag about it.

Obviously Amway is making a lot of money scamming IBO’s with overpriced products but the total tally seems to be unknown other than the $912 million.

Its possible that Amway the corporation is worth 10 billion in its various assets. After all they’ve had 50 years to sock away the profits they make ripping people off but that amount doesn’t mean its their annual sales numbers.

Unless of course you’re a scamming lying Amway IBO trying to impress others with made up figures.

Free Ebook Merchants of Deception

Someone showed up at my blog the other day with the search criteria “why is Merchants of Deception so expensive”.

Hunh? Free is expensive?

I wondered where this guy was looking. I’m aware that Eric Scheibeler did put his book into print and sell it for a few months. Then for reasons I’m unaware of though I suspect Scheibeler decided it was time to finally put the Amway horror behind him, he announced he was closing his website and the book would only be available for a couple more days.

I don’t recall what he was selling the print version for $15 or $20 perhaps.

I didn’t buy a copy of Merchants of Deception seeing as how I already had the free ebook version. Apparently the print version had some updated information in there.

So where is this guy looking that the book is so expensive? I checked ebay. Nope. Nothing there. I went to Amazon. Ah ha! Got it! There are 7 copies available ranging in price from $95.00 to $175.58. Yikes! What the fuck!

A couple of years ago I read an article that when Amazon only has one or two copies of a new book available and that’s it its no longer being printed there are some book buyers who keep an eye out and buy these books hoping that there will be a demand for them later on when they’re out of print. When the book is out of print and no longer available new the sellers who have used copies think they are rare collectibles and list them with outrageously high prices. Kind of like what Amway does with its products! They can ask any price they want. Doesn’t mean they’re going to get it unless there is some cult leader putting pressure on the downline to buy.

Crazy about the high prices on the used books! Especially since most books being sold on Amazon’s used book section are books published within the last 20 years and sold for $20 or less and there is really nothing special about them to command that kind of high price. The seller can always hope that someone is desperately searching for a used copy and willing to pay any price to get it. I can’t imagine paying $100 (or more!) for a paperback book especially when its available for free as an ebook.

The Slight Edge

There was a book that was a must read for all ambots called The Slight Edge. One of those expensive Amway tools that all good little ambots must buy. I don’t recall what Ambot paid for it maybe $20 because he had to buy it from the upline bastards at their inflated price instead of finding it cheaper on Amazon or Ebay. You’d think one copy would be enough but Ambot bought at least 5 copies of this book. Had to put something on those tools orders to get his upline richer! We’ve long since given them away. I think we sold one on Craigslist for a buck. Typical return on your Amway dollars spent!

I remember going to an Amway function, don’t recall which one either Family Reunion or FED but it was definitely one of those two, and just about every Diamond couple that marched across the stage was holding a copy of The Slight Edge. They’d wave it around and encourage all their cult followers to buy it. They neglected to say that they’d probably bought a container load for a stinking deal of a dollar each and they were selling them for $20 each on the tools orders and what a profit they’re making!

I’m pretty sure The Slight Edge was the book that had a story about a man on his deathbed and he called his sons over and gave them a choice of a million dollars or a purse with a penny in it and every day for the next 30 days the penny would be doubled. One son took the million dollars and went out and had a good time spending it on stuff that I’ve long since forgotten about. The other son took the purse with the penny. His brother predictably taunted him because after a week the penny brother has 64 cents in his purse and the million dollar brother has a new house and new car and whatever. By 30 days the double your penny brother has over $5 million. Who gets the last laugh?

I was reminded of the story when I came across this page on the False Profits website where the article discusses why so many people lose money in MLM’s and why many keep trying. http://www.falseprofits.com/Lessons%20from%20the%20Pyramids.html

This article uses the penny doubled theory with a chart but this article also uses it as the people doubled theory and why most pyramids collapse sometime between one and thirty.

This article also answers the question why our upline wants everyone to read The Slight Edge - other than the obvious profit they make from selling it - and why they tell the penny doubled story from the stage to convince every ambot recruit how they too can succeed at Amway. But the upline liars conveniently forget to mention that this pattern will not work because of the high number of drop outs at the lower levels. IBO’s leave when they realize they’re not making any money at Amway. 

One last thing. If anyone approaches you with a reading suggestion on a great book they’ve just read and loans it to you and its called The Slight Edge - RUN! Its an ambot!

Selling Amway Products on Amazon

I was surprised to see Amway products for sale on Amazon - totally discovered that by accident.

First of all I’m pretty sure that Amway has some rule saying you can’t flog your Amway shit online.

That said a lot of former IBO’s got to get rid of that overpriced shit somehow and I’ve seen it sold on eBay and I’m sure IBO’s are hitting Craigslist too.

But Amazon? I know its hard for me to grasp the concept that Amazon sells things but books. Here its important to note that Amazon the company is not selling Amway products but its individual sellers who have accounts with Amazon. But still I thought people with Amazon accounts were selling their used books not household items.

OK so maybe some former IBO’s are trying to flog their inventory. If they’re not active IBO’s they wouldn’t give a shit about breaking Amway’s rules. The problem with selling vitamins and energy drinks is that they all have expiry dates. Who’s to know that date hasn’t come and gone?

Amway shipped us expired protein shakes once. And then refused to refund our money when we complained about it. I ended up chucking them in the garbage.

I’m not so certain that these are inactive IBO’s flogging Amway shit on Amazon. I think active IBO's are loading up on inventory (another violation) to get their PV up there and then selling it on Amazon so they can cover their financial losses. Someone named Totalbeautyzone is currently selling 188 items - most appear to be Amway products. I don’t know. That seems a little excessive stock for an IBO quitting the business. I have to go with professional liar theory on this seller.

I decided to do some comparing. Totalbeautyzone is flogging XS Energy Drinks on Amazon. Cranberry Grape Blast in particular for $38.88. He/she has 4 in stock. Amway’s price is $26.88.

This makes a lot of sense. If someone was really craving the piss water they could buy it from Amway or find an IBO rather than spending an extra $12 to buy it from Totalbeautyzone. Like we need any further proof that IBO’s are out to rip us off!

Then Totalbeautyzone is offering a better deal on the Tropical Blast flavor - $36.88. I checked Amway. $26.88. Only ripping off customers by $10 on that flavor and he/she has 2 cases left in stock.

Now what’s up with the Naranja Blast? Totalbeautyzone has a price tag of $42.88 and 2 in stock. What does Amway say about this flavor? $38.88. Holy fuck I thought all those nasty piss waters had the same price. Rip off! Rip off! Amway sticks a foreign word on the can so it can slap a higher price tag on it? Come on! We all took Spanish in high school. Naranja = orange. Save money and buy the Citrus Blast for $26.88. So one could say Totalbeautyzone is giving a slightly better deal by only ripping off customers by $4 over Amway's price.

I know Amazon charges a commission for items sold through their store so I imagine Totalbeautyzone has tacked on the cost of doing business with Amazon to the prices.

I don’t know why Amazon doesn’t ban Amway products from their website other than it doesn’t cost them anything to let people have a marketplace storefront. Amazon is earning money off Amway.

Interesting when at every board plan meeting Amazon is mentioned as a comparison to Amway - except of course Amazon sucks when compared to Amway - at least in the brainwashed minds of the speakers.
