Scumbag Amway assholes mainly
prey on less fortunate people and those who are down on their luck scamming
them into believing in a few months they’ll be making thousands of dollars
every month in Amway and after 2 to 5 years they’ll be gazillionairs with
barrels of money rolling in every month while they sit back and do nothing.
Often these Amway bastards target victims who are already in a financially dire
situation with promises and dreams of riches. Unemployed, new immigrants,
people in minimum wage jobs, students, people with lots of debt, etc.
There are Amway ambots who went to college and are in professional occupations
who also want to believe that they’ll strike it rich in the Amway scam. And
these are intelligent, educated people who you’d think would know enough to do
research before getting suckered into a too good to be true “opportunity”.
Smart people who couldn’t fall for a scam like Amway. You know people who
might have a chance at putting money aside for a mortgage or retirement if they
weren’t throwing away all their money tithing the Great Amway God.
There are people from all walks of life, all income brackets who are
financially irresponsible. They take out a car loan on a super expensive luxury
car with huge monthly payments instead of looking for a car more in their
budget or buying one with whatever cash they have. Same thing with buying a
house. They take out the wrong kind of mortgage. They buy a more expensive
house than they should have and struggle to make the payments. They get credit
cards and go crazy spending but don’t pay the card off in full every month.
Instead they pay the minimum and spend the next 20 or 30 years struggling to
pay off that card because as soon as they got some room on it they spend it
again. Just because someone is a CEO or a doctor or whatever doesn’t mean
they’re financially responsible and make good financial decisions.
It costs a lot of money every month to belong to Amway’s expensive buying club.
You have to buy around $300/month in Amway products just to earn a commission
of around $10. You want more commission you gotta buy more of their expensive
shitty products. Yup buy from your “own” store and create how much commission
you make LOL! Most ambots spend more than $300/month buying shitty overpriced
Amway products. Depending on whether or not there’s a major function that month
and how much it costs to get there, stay in a hotel, eat out, the additional
costs in Amway could be another $200 to $500 more each month. And it goes up
from there. They spend $50/month on membership to the Amway cult sect they
belong to. Communikate, another $30 or $40/month. CD’s, books, tickets to go to
Amway meetings. It all adds up. To be a member of the Amway cult it costs
hundreds of dollars each month, probably $500 to $1000/month. For $10 in
commission?
Not keeping a profit & loss statement?
Of course not! This is Amway. They don’t do stuff that real businesses do.
So are people who are already financially irresponsible more open to the Amway
scam? These people don’t really notice where their money is going. By the time
they notice they’re probably already in trouble and can’t dig themselves out of
the hole. That’s the price of keeping your Amway cult leader happy.
Financially irresponsible people believe these fucking Amway assholes who say
all you need is to have a dream (and a credit card!) and you’ll get rich in
Amway. Its all about dream this and dream that and getting distracted with all
your dreams of material riches that you don’t notice all your money is going
into the Amway shit hole and the ambot isn’t getting any richer. Well what do
you expect when you earn pennies on commission if you’re lucky to have a
downline or a customer who buys something. Pennies! This isn’t a salesman at a
car lot or a realtor selling houses where they could make more than pennies on
a commissioned sale. This is Scamway. Only the cult leaders who have their own
cult sects and the company owners are making money. Not lowly commissioned
salespeople. Plunk down $100 or $200 to register with Amway and “own your own
business”. LOL!!!!! Scammers!!!!
Would these same people answer ads that say earn $10,000/month stuffing
envelopes – send $20 to find out how? What about an email from the king of
Yawma (yup spell it backwards LOL!!!!) who is in hiding and needs to sneak out
$10 bazillion dollars and transfer it to your bank account and you send him
back $9 bazillion and keep the other bazillion for your trouble and commission.
They’re all scams that rely on people’s dreams of getting rich and they don’t
need any special skills to get rich doing these things. Just be a dumb ass
dreamer.
Amway relies on financially irresponsible people to keep the scam going on.
Amway: the Cult of Greed
And from marriedtoanambot let’s just send another big old FUCK YOU out to Amway
Scamway and their scammer army of Ambots.
Anna, you bring up the real enigma of Amway: why do people stubbornly stay in the racket when they are losing money every damned month?
ReplyDeleteThe real mystery is those intelligent and educated people who ought to know better, and who could normally be expected to do research before they join an obviously fraudulent MLM racket like Amway. Why do they join, and why do they stay?
All I can give to solve this conundrum is a negative answer (that is, one that starts by finding out what their motive is NOT). Here goes: Many people do NOT join Amway to make money. Let me lay the whole thing out.
If you do join Amway with the purpose of having a profitable business, you are going to quit very quickly. You'll see in a few months that Amway bleeds you of funds, but never fulfills its promise to help you earn more money. So let's just put it this way: the smart people leave fast.
OK, so who stays? The logical conclusion is this: those who stay in Amway have joined NOT for money, but for something else, which isn't clear yet.
Here's where the analysis become controversial. Many persons say that Ambots have been "brainwashed," and that's why they stay. That's not a good answer because it really doesn't explain what is going on. Even someone who is brainwashed doesn't want to lose money, or go broke, or have all his family and friends ignore him. Something else is behind all this
Others say it is for friendship and comradeship, and loyalty to up-line pals, and the desire to be part of an in-group of special initiates -- sort of like being in a club or a fraternity or secret society. This is probably a true motive for many Ambots, since loneliness and the lack of supportive friends and associates are very hard to endure. Some persons are deeply social and gregarious, and they need to be around others to feel happy and loved.
But my own opinion is this: the biggest reason persons stay in Amway despite losing their financial shirts is cultic "faith." Something inside them screams "You've got to BELIEVE! You have to have FAITH, no matter what happens! The facts don't matter, as long as you KEEP THE DREAM!"
This last reason is, in my view, the key engine that keeps Amway and all the other MLM systems going. It is a powerful mix of religion and cultism and deep psychological need. Why else would someone deliberately and willingly choose a life of gradual financial suicide?
Thanks Anonymous. Those are great observations. And the questions you ask have been asked by many others over the decades.
DeleteEven smart and educated people can suck at finances. Everyone's got things they do better than other things. The difference with smart and educated people versus those pretend business owners at Amway are that they hire experts who are better at them. I'm pretty smart with finances and accounting and I've used the services of a professional accountant for decades. Could I do it myself? Sure. But can my accountant do it better and faster and keeps up to date on stuff that would never occur to me - you bet. See? Smart people know when to hire experts LOL!
So saying that educated people can be financially stupid and might get sucked into Amway at least for awhile for any number of reasons. One that is most compelling is this side income, residual income that will come rolling in for ever. Built it once and it never collapses. LOL! But yes these intelligent and educated people will usually leave Amway fast when they figure out they got scammed and the only chance they have of making money is by scamming others.
Amway is a powerful cult. It mixes instant friendship and faith and believers who keep the dream alive. And keeps the Ambots busy so they don't notice how much money they're losing from their savings or the debt they're running up on their credit cards.
