Part 1 Getting Prospected By An Amway Ambot

A reader shares his story about how Ambots follow the Amway script. Thank you!



About a month ago I was informed by one of my Facebook friends (a guy that went to my high school, goes to college with me, we’ve never been super close, but he’s a trustworthy guy) that he had been introduced to:

“...a business opportunity I recently came across. I am working with some successful entrepreneurs to expand business. I can’t say anything for sure but I wanted to for sure put it out there and see if your open to looking at different income ventures.”

That was the message I was sent. I was very skeptical, especially as he was working with people that I had never met, although again, I do trust him and have known him for a while, which eased my fears a bit. Yesterday, I was convinced to be a part of a three-way phone call with him and his “senior business adviser” (to be read as: upline!) and the details were exceedingly vague. “I’m working on building a group of partnerships... It’s very hard to explain over the phone... it’s very possible to make thousands a month.” The thing that worried me the most was the fact that I was told “don’t talk about this to your family or friends yet, you aren’t informed enough and will lose credibility that you could use to build your business in the future.”

Everything about the call threw up red flags, so I decided to do my research. I managed to find the Facebook profile of the upline guy, and soon realized that this was all Amway. I hadn’t really heard of Amway in the past (and was even more skeptical about the fact that it was obvious what business it was, but he made no mention of it in the call), so I spent most of last night doing some research. This is scary! You would think that people would learn to look into the background of what they’re getting into before they commit and try to rope others in. Another person I know has been caught up in this, and still appears to be in the delusional stage of thinking success is still possible. No one seems to realize that the market is exceedingly over-saturated and will keep growing.

Anyway, at the end of the call, they convinced me to attend a meeting on campus tonight, which I will still go to, just to listen to see how much BS is being spewed, and how similar it really is to what I’ve read. However, I will not being buying into this scam, when no room for new success exists. I would like to not burn any bridges with the people I know over this, but they seem to be very gung-ho about selling this idea. I’m going to ask a few questions regarding MLMs, the taxes from this, how many people I’ll need downline to make a profit, etc. and can’t wait to hear the answers. I expect the peer pressure to be very large, but I’m going to fight it completely. It’s just sad how these people use their language and speaking skills (the guy on the phone yesterday kept trying to relate to me personally, it was a great tactic) to completely brainwash others into believing everything they say.



Stay tuned. What happened at the Scamway meeting?
P.S. We all know it followed the old Amway scripture!

 

Who Wants To Mow The Lawn?

One day Ambot and I were in the car and Ambot pulls out his cell phone to call his beloved Platinum.

He asks him if his teenage son would like the job of mowing our lawn.

What the fuck! Ambot NEVER discussed this with me first. I’ve been mowing that lawn for a long time and Ambot has never given me any money when I’ve put the mower back in the shed and come into the house and now he wants to pay the fucking Platinum’s teenager to mow our lawn!

First off - Ambot never checked with about this before whipping out his phone. Probably because he knows I would have said NO!

Second - teenagers do NOT want to mow lawns. They have tons of other stuff they’d rather be doing. I sure as hell didn’t want to mow the lawn when I was a teenager.

Third - the Platinum lived nowhere near us. Who was going to drive his teenager to our house so he could mow our fucking lawn? I bet not daddy dearest. Ambot or more than likely me would be assigned that “privilege” of a 45 minute one way trip.

Fourth - Ambot would have likely paid him some extravagant wage for spending an hour mowing our lawn like $40 or $50. If he paid me that I’d mow the lawn daily!

Fifth - I may  have hated mowing the lawn as a teenager but as an adult I know the exercise is good for me. I also take pride in keeping my property looking neat. Some teenager for hire isn’t going to give a shit what our lawn looks.

Fortunately the Platinum’s son is like every other teenager out there had ZERO interest in mowing a lawn and said hell no I ain’t doing it. And I’m paraphrasing. When your Ambot parents are Amway prudes there’s ain’t no cursing. LOL! Fucking Amway losers! LOL!

To this day I have no idea why Ambot was suddenly overcome with this sudden urge to phone the sack of shit Platinum and offer to hire his kid to mow the lawn other than perhaps his skewed way of thinking this would earn him brownie points. I also have no idea why he felt this wasn’t something he should discuss with me first. I always mow the lawn so why the hell would Ambot even come up with this wonderful idea. I wasn’t complaining about mowing the lawn and asking if someone else could mow it. Its not like Ambot is the one who is mowing our lawn and doesn’t like doing it and can’t convince me to mow it and is therefore forced to hire someone.

What I’m really surprised about is that the Platinum didn’t say: “You want MY son to mow YOUR lawn? Dude, you got that one backwards. I want YOU to mow MY lawn. I expect YOU to mow MY lawn twice a week to keep it looking good. And I’m not paying you any money for the privilege of mowing my lawn. I’ll give you one on one counselling after every ten times you mow my lawn. That is an incredible deal for you! Oh I forgot, I expect you to buy the gas for my lawnmower too.”

Fucking pompous sack of shit. Maybe that conversation DID take place and Ambot never told me. For all I know he WAS mowing that motherfuckers lawn!

 

Beware Of Amway Scamway Job Ads

Someone sent me a link for what is clearly a fake job ad on Craigslist probably listed by some scheming Amway asshole. Ad title is Online Shoppers Wanted Anywhere Work Part Time. The ad says it’s a worldwide health and wellness company that will show you how to turn your shopping dollars into earning monthly residual income. Yup ads like that don’t stay up long because they get flagged for being a scam and its not a real job offer. Amway ambots don’t have morals or a conscience when they lie and scam others, those are just part of the qualifications of being an Amway Ambot. Most people looking for a job can spot a scam ad like that a mile off.

Its possible the ad was placed by a different MLM fucker but it just screams Amway all over it. You know how Amway ambots go around bragging that they get paid to shop online. And then they usually add from their own store. So that grabs the title about being an online shopper. And its part time. Amway ambots go around bullshitting prospects into believing Amway is only a part time job 10 to 15 hours a week in your spare time. Double to quadruple that for a more accurate estimate of the time you’ll waste inside the Amway cult.

Worldwide also appears in the ad. Can anyone say WWDB aka World Wide Destructive Bastards.

Health and wellness company? How many times have I heard that bullshit at an Amway cult meeting claiming to be a health and wellness company. You know flogging overpriced shitty vitamins, energy drinks, perfect water and blah blah blah.

People who are looking for a job and checking out the listings on Craigslist don’t need to be weeding through fake job ads posted by Amway scammers. It’s a waste of time for someone trying to find work to click on an ad and see its posted by an Amway scammer. Its hard enough finding work without dealing with MLM scammers.

And do these fucked up Amway assholes violating Craigslist rules of posting (no MLM) really think they’re going to sign up some suckers they’ve reeled in with a fake job ad. Fortunately most people who read the ad will mark it as a scam and Craigslist will eventually delete it.

Now’s a good time to send a big old FUCK YOU out there to scamming lying Amway assholes who post fake job ads and another big old FUCK YOU to Amway for allowing it to happen. Get control of your fucking commissioned salespeople you fucking flogger of overpriced shitty products!!!!
