Dozens of people show up at this blog after Googling “how to
cancel Communikate” or how they can communicate (ha ha! Get it?) with someone
at Communikate.
They end up at the post CommunikateMakes IBO’s Superior Over Other IBO’s
where a reader put in the toll free number to Communikate 1-866-333-3204. I
have not tried to phone that number. For all I know it goes to a sex chat line
so phone at your own risk!
Here I want to say that one of the dumbest things we used to hear from the
assholes in our upline when they wanted us to sign up for Communikate and make
the Amway cult leaders richer was that they called it a “personal assistant”.
Now when I think of personal assistant this is usually someone who tags around
with the person paying their salary and helping them keep their life organized.
This could be a whole bunch of things - grocery shopping, picking up the
kids from school, walking the dog, running errands, meal planning, keeping the house
tidy and organized (not necessarily as a housecleaner), running to Starbucks to
pick up snacks, or whatever tasks they’ve agreed upon. A woman I worked with
many years ago quit and took a job as the personal assistant to a president of
a big company. Now some might think that was working in the office in a
clerical type of role, but no it was more keeping his homelife organized. One
of her first tasks when she was hired was to take the kids on vacation to
Hawaii because the old man had promised them a trip there but was too busy to
take them.
So those are the things I think of that a personal assistant does.
What does an Amway ambot think a personal assistant does? They think a personal
assistant is renting a toll free phone number that takes messages, call
forwards a phone call, and does conference calls.
What the fuck? What kind of fucking moron thinks a personal assistant is an
automated phone system? A fucking brainwashed Amway ambot! Those brainwashed
fools don’t realize they are being scammed and their beloved cult leaders are
raking in the dough if they’re foolish enough to sign up for Communikate aka “kate”
aka personal assistant.
The majority of people who sign up with Amway usually quit within a year. They
now have the problem of cancelling this voice mail system that isn’t worth the
$36.95/month or however much the ambots are paying into it these days. Like
anything else to do with Amway signing up is easy but trying to quit or get
your money back pretty much means promising your first born.
Here’s a former employee with his views on Communikate.
I worked for Webley (company that owns communikate) and yes, it is a scam, the uplines get kickbacks, that's why they push it. They make it super hard to cancel now, you can no longer call to cancel, too many were canceling! They now have chat support, but you cannot cancel by chat, we're supposed to call them and pressure the Amwayers to keep using Communikate. Free tip: Accounts NEVER go to collections, just change your payment method to something incorrect and the account will close itself in a few months. Got questions, ask away?
The amount the uplines receive differs according to the specific deal they have with the respective group, BRITT, WWG, etc. It ranges from $5 to $10 per sign up. “Diamond” level people get special treatment. Another fun tip: Due to Webley's ridiculous billing practice we have gotten many of our clients Debit cards cancelled, it's true! We bill monthly for the service (36.95) but we ALSO bill separately for usage, which usually runs between .25 to .75 cent for most users. These tiny, stupid charges are tagged as “potential fraud” charges by 99% of banks and they “lock” the cards. Lots of people have had important charges for other recurring services bounce back thanks to Webley's stupidity and refusal to make even a tiny good faith effort to better serve their customers. Now you know!
So there you have it. A bit of inside scoop on the deals the Amway cult leaders
make with Communikate to get their piece of the pie. Just for those doubting
ambots who don’t believe the Amway tool scam.
From the sound of things I would suggest that if you want to cancel Communikate
the easiest option might be to call your bank and say you lost your credit card
and get a new one issued. The next time Communikate tries to charge the old
credit card number, bouncey, bouncey!
And less money in some Diamonds pockets the next month! Oh wouldn’t you like to
be in the room when the Diamonds are fighting over how they’ll split up the
Communikate profits!
Or listening in on the telephone when the Diamond phones the Platinum to give
him shit that someone in his downline just cancelled Communikate!
"CommuniKate" is a fucking joke. It is obsolete in a world of voicemail and skype and conference calls. It only continues to be pushed on IBOs as a way to enrich up-line pigs.
ReplyDeleteThe main reason why stupid IBOs insist on keeping
"CommuniKate" is psychological. The mere fact that you can brag to others that you are talking to your secretary/assistant (a woman named "Kate") while your phone is glued to your ear makes you feel empowered and important.
It's sort of like when The Wizard of Oz pins a fake medal for "courage" on the cowardly lion. It's meaningless, but it makes the lion feel good about himself. And a great deal of Amway is about making IBOs feel good about themselves.
So the little fake businessman who calls himself an "IBO" is happy to go around pretending that he actually has a secretary named "Kate." It's really pathetic.
Anonymous - the Amway cult leaders have a rule to "never question upline". The Ambots might be too scared to ask why the hell they need Communicate in a world of instant messaging, Skype, Zoom, etc. The rest of the world laughs at these Amway losers who use Communikate.
DeleteOur sack of shit Platinum used to send out messages on "Kate" to round up Ambots for an immediate "business meeting". That's how he could tell who had signed up for this Amway tool scam.
Good call on canceling one's card that CommuniKate and other Amway "business" related items are coming out of each month. This is probably the safest way to leave all together without making much of a fuss.
ReplyDeleteCancel all your cards you have connected to this scam. Never attend another function. Don't answer phone calls from your Upline. Wash your hands clean of everything and everyone associated with this. And be done with it all together.
Hi Anonymous. Agree. Cancel the credit cards that anything Amway was used on. Just call the bank and say you lost them and get a new card issued. I have a couple of credit cards I can go to the app and turn them on and off and that way no charges go through. But in the case of ScAmway even if they haven't been able to charge that card for a few months cause it was turned off - it it gets turned on again something Amway could get charged. So just chalk up the inconvenience of waiting for a new credit card to arrive in the mail versus the inconvenience of Amway purchases continuing to be charged.
