Fuck You IBO!

It finally happened! Someone did a Google search for “fuck you IBO” and found my blog! You guessed it. Number 1 on the search engine!

Yes this is definitely the place to be if you want to tell any IBO you’ve ever met: “Fuck you!” Or live vicariously through me saying it.

Depending on your perspective there are different types of IBO’s to say fuck you to:

1. from the point of view of someone who is not associated with Amway and does not want to be associated with Amway and does not want to be hounded by Amway IBO’s

2. from the point of view of someone who has a spouse, family member, or good friend who is an Amway IBO

3. from the point of view of a former IBO who has found out the truth about Amway and the tool scam

So rather than say fuck you over and over in each sentence I’ll just say it once at the top of the list.

FUCK YOU IBO:

1.      for saying where else can you start up your own business for only $150 but neglecting to mention all the other costs once you’ve paid your start up fee

OK I think I’ve said enough fuck you’s for now. If I keep thinking about it the list will keep growing and I have to stop this post sometime! Feel free to load up the comments with the many ways you want to say FUCK YOU IBO

No One Is Buying My Amway Products

“No one is buying my Amway products.”

That is the lament of a recent searcher who showed up at my blog. Not me! I have no Scamway products for sale!

There is a reason why no one is buying your Amway products. That is because the food and drink items taste like shit and piss. The cleaning products are average to lousy. The cosmetics are ugly. I could go on and on.

But the main reason no one is buying your shitty Amway products is the price tag. Amway charges exorbitant prices for generic and substandard products. Amway is hardly the only company around to stick overinflated price tags on products that are worth a fraction of the cost. Some people might say Safeway is too high priced or Sears is too high priced or Burger King is too high priced. Though as far as I know none of these establishments has regularly been accused of being a cult. Can Amway say that?

Price can be subjective.

Quality not so much.

Brainwashing people to believe that they pay high prices and receive high quality products is the sign of a good Amway cult leader. Especially when those “high quality” products are shit. Generic products at best. Substandard is more like it.

To others money doesn’t matter so much and many people are open to paying more money for better quality products. Unfortunately Amway does not have better quality products except in the minds of their current crop of brainwashed IBOs. When those IBO’s quit Amway why don’t they keep buying Amway products if they think they’re so wonderful and reasonably priced? Because reality sinks in when a person is no longer being brainwashed and they got it figured out that Amway’s products are really no better than brand name products and often much worse.

Think of it this way. According to an Amway employee who stopped by my blog one day and let us know that employees are given free boxes of SA8 laundry detergent or whatever name they use now. S/he is like no thanks and goes to the store to buy Tide. Why spend money on a product you can get for free? Could it be that this Amway employee wants their clothes to come out clean in the wash?

Put aside the low quality and the high prices on Amway products.

Most people don’t want to buy Amway products because of Amway’s shitty reputation. And how did Amway get a shitty reputation? That would be thanks to their commissioned salespeople aka Amway independent business owners aka IBO’s aka ambots.

The trickery, the bad behavior, and the lies are what makes Amway IBO’s.

High price tags, shitty quality, and the bad reputation of others before you is why people don’t want to buy your Amway products.

Amway Ambots Paranoid Of All Things “Negative”!

What is it with all these Amway assholes that they are so fucking paranoid of all things they believe to be “negative”.

An Amway ambot’s definition of “negative” is anything that has an opposing view to their Amway cult leader’s position. This is why ambots are unable to tell the difference between the truth and negative.

Its like this unnatural obsession for negative that the Amway cult leaders brainwash into the ambots.

During the couple of years we were in the Amway hell hole I heard the word “negative” more times than I’ve heard it in the rest of my life put together. That tells me unnatural obsession by paranoid Amway assholes!

The last 20 years of my working life I worked for 3 different employers. None of them ever talked to us about anything negative or “don’t say negative” or there will be a lot of people out there who have “negative” things to say about our company. Nobody at any of these companies had a paranoid obsession with the word “negative”.

I get enough Amway assholes showing up claiming I’m negative because they can not accept the truth about their great cult. But really if people have to be so obsessed with all things “negative” perhaps they need to take a better look at what they’re doing. If you choose to work for a company with a shitty reputation and there are many people hitting the Internet with their horror stories about this company you gotta say to yourself - all these people can’t be wrong. Unless of course you are an Amway ambot and then you would say all these people are negative. Ambots choose to be commissioned salespeople for a company that sells overpriced shitty products, its next to impossible to find any customers so ambots go around bitching about all these negative people who won’t support their business.

I heard millions of times from the bastards in our Amway upline “don’t say negative”.

Can’t handle the truth assholes? TRUTH. An evil word to ambots. Just because something is true does not make it negative. And why are you Amway assholes so fucking paranoid of all things negative like its some kind of deadly communicable disease?!!!!

Grow a thick skin and learn to take criticism and the truth civilly instead of going on the attack. You are not running your own fucking Amway business!!!! You signed a fucking contract saying you’ll be a good little IBO! Someone else put a price tag on those shitty products! You can’t change that! Someone else decided how much commission you’ll make if you sell any shitty products! You can’t change that! Someone else decided to make food bars taste like shit and energy drinks taste like cat piss. You can’t change that! You have no control over “your own business”. Fucking morons! Get a fucking clue!!!!

As for you Amway ambots who show up on my blog and say I’m negative - well first of all what’s it to you anyway if I am. Do you think it hurts my feelings if some Amway asshole scum of the earth shows up at my blog and calls me negative. Well its better than being called a fucking Amway asshole!!!!

Aren’t you listening to  your sack of shit Platinum about not visiting “negative” websites about Amway. That’s because your cult leader doesn’t want you to learn the TRUTH! So why are you at my blog anyway leaving comments that prove you’re an Amway asshole! You better go listen to some more sermons from your Amway cult leaders about staying away from all things negative you paranoid little ambots!

You wanna lead the sheltered life of an ambot unable to tell the difference between the truth and the negative. Believing your cult leaders are the only people in the world who speak the truth and everyone else is a negative liar. The Amway cult leaders don’t want their downline to be influenced by outside forces who can reason, tell them the truth, and show the IBO’s that they’re wasting their time and more importantly wasting their money on trying to build an Amway business.

Since writing this blog I’ve had a few dozen negative ambots show up here who all say the same thing. Some canned amspeak response they’ve duplicated from their cult leaders. They all accuse me of being a broke loser. They all accuse me of working a job. They all predict I’ll be dead or broke by the time I’m 65. They all call me a negative unchristian dream stealer. I mean talk about NEGATIVE! Its the old Amway cult influence. Spread negativity around the world courtesy of being an Amway IBO.

Anna Banana is no way near being as NEGATIVE as an Amway asshole! Anna Banana isn’t paranoid about all things NEGATIVE the way those Amway assholes are! Anna Banana isn’t afraid to be NEGATIVE about the assholes she put up with thanks to Amway!

Those fucked up brainwashed ambots think they’re better than everyone else and here they are violating their upline cult leader’s rules by coming to my blog and spreading their Amway negativity.

Becoming an Amway “independent business owner” running a fake business, putting on a business suit, carrying a cell phone, lying to people that the business is not Amway, making false product claims, marching off to 8pm Amway cult meetings, and sneering at people who are not in Amway does not make an ambot a positive role model.

Amway makes for a hell of a lot of misery and negativity in one’s life.

Drop out of Amway and that’s a big load of negative you’ll also be dropping.

Amway is the shit hole for all things negative! If you choose to be a salesperson for a company that provides shitty overpriced products that is accused of being a cult and being a pyramid scheme (by multiple sources!)  and you choose to associate with a bunch of lying assholes - then don’t show up on blogs like mine and bitch about how NEGATIVE your life is and how you look at everything as NEGATIVE! You dug your outhouse. Go wallow in it!

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!

On the Topic of Thieving Amway IBO’s

I mentioned in a previous post how an ambot in our WWDB crossline has lost his phone at Amway Spring Leadership brainwashing conference. Though I’m sure the real story is he put his phone down, buggered off somewhere leaving it unattended to record the words of wisdom from the Amway cult leaders, and an IBO saw it and said hey free phone! and took it. I don’t know what kind of phone it was. Our sack of shit Platinum was encouraging everyone in the downline to buy a Blackberry so it might have been one of those. All I know is there were enough bells and whistles on it to include a recording device. Yeah its kind of like a news story I heard a month ago where a bunch of cell phones - I think iPhones - were randomly dropped off to see if honest people would return them. They all had tracking devices and were able to be monitored to see what sections of the phone the finder would access.

I was at a park a couple of years ago and seen a young woman was running down the path. She stopped and asked if I’d seen her iPhone. I hadn’t. She’d been in the park and had got back to her car 5 minutes earlier and realized her phone wasn’t in her pocket and was hoping to find it dropped somewhere on the path. But she seemed to doubt she’d ever see it again. What do those things cost? Around $500? Not everyone’s going to be honest enough to return them.

But enough about phones. We were at World Wide Dream Builders Family Reunion and it must have been dinner break. Ambot and I were walking back to the arena from wherever we’d scrounged up food. There were probably about 20 or so ambots walking near us, you know we all get stopped by a traffic light and have to wait to cross so a little group forms. As we got on the arena grounds I noticed a wallet lying on the lawn, about 15 feet or so off the path. So I said hey there’s a wallet and walked over to pick it up. Now I had an audience. All the ambots stopped to watch. What am I? The evening’s entertainment? Or are they all thinking oh fuck she saw it first so I’m out of luck at taking whatever’s inside. I flipped it open looked at the driver’s license and it belonged to some guy out of state most likely an ambot. We had no idea who the guy was so I told Ambot we should go back to the arena and look for security and hand it in. And we continued walking. One of the suck up ambots that was walking near us said something to the effect of where else could you lose a wallet and end up getting it back again but at an Amway function.

Um, just about anywhere in the world. There are honest and dishonest people everywhere. Ambots are liars and scammers so right there is the proof that people in Amway are not honest. The wallet had no money in it. That tells me another ambot came along before I did and found the wallet probably on the path, removed the cash, and then tossed the wallet 15 feet to the side. Not quite good enough aim to make it into the garden and the thief probably didn’t want to call attention to him/herself and retrieve the wallet and make another attempt to hide it.

We had some items stolen by our upline. Mostly things that ambot loaned to our thieving Amway upline and never got back again. One was a cooler that said XS on it. Bought the XS gear at a hugely overinflated price. Not that I give a shit one way or another if I ever see it again because we have enough coolers and I don’t want to go around advertising the cat piss drink but I’m just pointing out that some scamming Amway IBO stole it off us.

We also had a bunch of marketing material stolen off us from people in our Amway upline. Again, nothing that I give a shit about. Its not like I want it back. Just pointing out that Amway ambots are a bunch of thieves and will steal instead of buy. See my ambot had to buy all this shit and provide it for Amway meetings even though that “honor” was supposed to go to higher pins, none of them could afford it so Ambot would jump in and buy it in other words put another Amway related charge on his credit card.

The last stolen item our Amway upline stole from us was a camera and the camera bag. Ambot tried for months to get that back and finally threatened to call the police. At that point someone in his upline got it back from whoever had stolen it (Ambot knew who had it) and we got it back. Broken of course. We have no idea who broke it. These are all a bunch of lying scheming Amway ambots so they would all deny breaking it. No one in Amway takes ownership of anything other than pretending to be fake business owners. And seeing as how they’re a bunch of irresponsible Amway IBO’s none of them would step up and take responsibility and get it repaired. Fucking assholes!

Just give us more reasons to hate Amway and World Wide Destructive Bastards! Not content at just destroying relationships they will destroy your personal property too!

Put All Your Eggs In The Ambot Basket

Seeing as how its Easter I thought it makes sense to talk about putting all your eggs in one basket!

Now thats a saying I don’t recall hearing at any Amway meeting - not putting all of your eggs in one basket. But most people have heard that phrase plenty of times in their life from their parents, their teachers, their banker, etc.

The only time I remember that phrase being used was by our arrogant prick sponsor who said when he’s recruiting prospects that he starts putting fear into people about their job and how he hopes they don’t have all their eggs in one basket because they’ll be finished.

Well what else do you expect from a rotten little bastard like him?

Captain Fuck Up doesn’t have eggs to put in ANY basket!

Diversify! A word that shall never be spoken at an Amway meeting because the activities involved in diversifying take away time and dollars from the Amway cult leaders efforts to earn an income doing the Amway pyramid scheme thing. Instead the opposite is taught: put all your eggs in one basket. The one that belongs to the Amway hen house!

Basically diversifying means investing in a variety of assets and spreading the risk around in case one venture fails there are other assets on the go that might turn out better. Before diversifying its a good idea to figure out your own risk tolerance and how much money you can afford to lose should things not work out so good.

In Amway, be prepared to “invest” at least $10,000 a year on Amway products, attending functions, and buying tools.

If you’ve got a better use for that $10,000, I recommend that’s the road you take! Why? Because you ain’t gonna make back your investment! Thats why! Amway is a scam! Same as any other scam with promises of big riches on a small investment. Except that it turns out being a huge $$$ investment and no money back or maybe a few bucks a month after spending $500 to $700 to make that $10 or $15 commission check from Amway. Getting scammed like that turns ambots into really nasty people.

Say someone has $150 kicking around in a savings account and an IBO is trying to get them to “invest” in their own business as an Amway IBO. The person doesn’t want to risk all their $150 in Amway and in this case is probably ignorant of the hundreds of dollars on top of that each month to buy Amway products and attend Amway functions because you don't find that out until after you've been sucked into the lies. On the other hand that $150 is only getting half a percent interest in the savings account. But that person might be comfortable risking $100 of that $150 and buying 100 shares of a stock that’s currently selling for $1 a share. The worst thing that can happen is the stock takes a nosedive and they lose their $100 but not all is lost because they still have $50 sitting in the bank’s savings account. Or the stock might take off and at the end of the year is worth $25 a share.

When considering diversifying, a homeowner might decide to invest in a second house using the equity in their main residence as a down payment and renting out the other house - hopefully for a few bucks more than the mortgage. In twenty years the mortgage will be paid off. At this point the owner has the choice of continuing to rent the house and all the rental income is now profit with some deductions for city taxes and general maintenance as the house gets older and things like the roof and hot water tank need to be replaced. It now becomes residual income, more than most IBO’s will ever see! Or else the house can be sold and the equity is profit to the owner.

Some people who are incredibly talented and lucky make a living playing poker or gambling, investing in the stock market, or flipping houses.

Whatever they’re doing they’ve found a way to diversify. Words that never should be spoken at an Amway cult meeting! Probably because when people are looking at their investments and figuring out which ones they should cut loose, they start with whatever one is losing money.

Toss out Scamway! Losing money! Useless baggage!

Here’s a laugh. Our arrogant prick sponsor told us he’s always looking for ways to diversify his income, talking about investments. This son of a bitch who can't hold down a job, is always behind on his bills, is a renter always under the threat of eviction, drives old beater cars, and never has any money. Diversify what income! What disposable income does he have lying around? I think finding ways to invest would be an impossibility for him. Its always nice to dream though.

Oh wait. That’s what Amway’s all about. Dreams! Gotta suck in those cult followers somehow!

Don’t be stupid! Get your eggs out of the Amway basket!

Ambots in Colombia?

Here’s a comment left on my Who Remembers Quixtar post.

Hi Anna,

I was searching for google for an Amway symbol and I found this page. I have read your posts and I see that you have a real bad image of Amway/Quixtar whatever. I really would like to discuss with you what your thoghts and your opinions are but without the bad words. I don´t know if you´ll respond me but I am going to make a request: whatever you criticise, you must at least not do it. You were talking about how Amway IBOs have a bad attitude and you were having it us well. Here in my country, all the ABOs who are succesful have good attitudes and respect everyone who doesn´t want to join because it´s a life choice, and also I haven´t met the first person who got robbed doing this. I´ve met people who thought it was too challenging or got out because they didn´t get results as fast as they wanted them, but a penny was never taken away. I know it because in my organization there are people who after buying 5k in products have returned them and gotten every cent back. So I´d like to discuss the subject with you if you are willing to have an open mind. And please stop giving it such a bad name. Life always gives you back what you give out, so I´d advise you to stop giving a bad name to the company, you don´t know when you are going to get paid with

 that same medicine.

Truthfully,
Manuel

Well Manuel, I hope you come back to read. I had enough to say to you that I didn’t want to leave it in the comments box in case it was missed and because I thought others might like to read this.

Searching for an Amway symbol and you found my blog? As if I need any further proof that Married To An Ambot is high on the search engines! Amway’s got somewhere in their terms and conditions that if you are an Amway IBO that you can not download and use any of their stuff unless you have their written permission because presumably you will be using the image to earn money.

If you’re not an IBO the rules don’t apply! Unless of course you’re using an Amway image to make money then Amway would want their piece of the pie - what else is new! Images that are put out on the public domain known as the Internet are up for grabs unless people are downloading them for commercial purposes to make money then the owner of said image would like to receive some payment. Manuel, don’t worry if you break Amway’s rules. Amway doesn’t give a shit if their IBO’s violate their policies. I’ve reported our upline and they didn’t do nothing. So I’m sure you will be quite safe to use any Amway symbol that you want even if someone reports you nothing will happen.

My blog exists mainly to curse out my Amway upline and seeing as how Amway’s employees are a reflection of the company itself they get dragged down too. Amway doesn’t do anything to clean up its act. Amway/Quixtar already had a bad reputation many years before I came on the scene!

No, I have no interest in talking to you or any other current brainwashed ambot. Its the equivalent of banging my head against the wall. You ambots have a canned Amspeak response for everything.

Me talk without “bad” words! Ha ha ha!!! You should be in a car with me and hear my running commentary of all the other drivers on the road! Yup I am probably the one who flipped you off!

You can request all you want that I shouldn’t criticize my upline or Amway but it won’t do you no good. I don’t know what the laws are in your country but here we have something called freedom of speech. It is not against the law to tell the truth or to have an opinion. Amway might not like that I tell the truth about what its like being in their cult and they might not be happy about my opinion on their overpriced shitty products but I am hardly the first person to come along and say similar things.

As for buying $5k in products and then returning them for a refund, you’re a little late to hop on that bus. Our upline and many IBO’s have been doing that for years for amounts between $5 and $25k. They buy as much stuff as they can on their credit card then return it and get a refund and then they show the check from Amway around to their downline and claim it was a bonus they got.

I have been to Colombia and I think it is sick and disgusting that this evil called Amway has infiltrated your country. There are so many poor people in Colombia and then an ambot comes along and tells them that Amway is their path out of poverty and it won’t happen for them because only a fraction of 1% of IBO’s make money in Amway. Its all about selling the hope not the soap. Your fellow citizens will be in worse shape than they were before and all because they believed a liar who told them that Amway would bring them riches. Amway is a recruiting scam pyramid scheme. I’m  not sure what kind of business plan they show in Colombia but here they show a plan where you eat one Amway food bar and drink one Amway drink daily and find 6 others to do what you do and they find 6 others and so on and so on. Nowhere in the business plan does it give instructions on finding customers and selling Amway products at retail prices. Pyramid scheme!

I have met the warmest people ever in Colombia always smiling and friendly and willing to speak a little slower so the gringa can understand. They will invite you to share a meal with them even if its all the food they have.

I have also encountered the most agressive vendors I’ve seen anywhere. I mean how many times can I tell the guy with the cooler no thank you I don’t want to buy a beer for $2. I don’t drink beer. I say it in English and Spanish and the guy still wants me to take a $2 cerveza off his hands. What about the vendor selling hats who follows me down the street trying to get me to buy one when clearly I am already wearing a hat on my head. I can imagine what it would be like if these vendors are out on the street selling Amway shit!

And now for my readers who haven’t traveled to Colombia, here is some reality for you. Many of this country’s citizens live in hovels constructed of whatever materials they are able to scrounge up and they live in communities in vacant lots, beside swampy canals, and in the jungle.

Some nicer living accomodations for the more wealthy.

The owner of this house must have some money. They can afford a fence and gate around their house.

Here’s a place to go if your car breaks down and you need a mechanic. Looks like there are some used tires for sale!

The owner of this fine eating establishment lost all his money in Amway and had to close!

Can’t afford an ambot shitmobile? Take a donkey to the Amway meeting. Some would call this a shitmobile too!

After looking at those pictures - how many of my readers think its likely that there are a lot of people in Colombia capable of putting together $5k to spend on Amway products - refund or not?

You signed off “truthfully” Manuel. Mentiras mentiras. There are only lies in Amway.

Similarities between Amway and Colombia? Both known for selling a white powder that ultimately brings misery to the lives it touches - financially, physically, and emotionally.

Is $75,000 the Magical Platinum Income?

When we attended Amway cult meetings our sack of shit Platinum sometimes asked who in the room earns at least $75,000/year.

It must have pissed him off to no end that my Ambot was the only person to raise his hand because he stopped asking that question after a few times of us attending his cult meetings. And it must have really pissed off that bastard that my husband makes more money than he does!

I think $75,000/year is the bragged about Platinum income, give or take a few thousand. Through research since I quit Amway I know that income can not be earned at the Platinum level. Nor the $125,000 an Emerald is supposed to earn, again give or take a few thousand depending on who is bragging about the money amount. I found this out by reading Eric Scheibeler’s book Merchants of Deception that as an Amway Emerald with a thousand people in his downline, he was only earning around $30,000/year, again give or take a few thousand. Also I saw a Youtube video of a former Emerald who said he only made between $2000 and $3000/month when he was with Scamway. He couldn’t afford to stick it out any longer in Amway and now makes a better income.

I doubt a Platinum can earn $75,000/year unless he’s running a lot of retail through his business which is nearly next to impossible to find regular customers willing to buy overpriced substandard Amway products.

So that “who makes $75,000/year” question probably brings another question to mind for everyone reading my blog. The same question that went through my mind.

Why in the hell would someone who already owns their own business and earns at least $75,000/year be interested in an Amway business and taking a cut in income?

I couldn’t figure out why my husband would want to shelf his legitimate business to get into a business where he makes less money a year. On a business built on a lies.

Fucking crazy!

Until I understood that my husband was being brainwashed by an evil cult.

And that’s when it became terrifying. The hold this evil cult has on its victims. Driven by greed. The Amway cult demands full control over their cult members money and their sanity.
