Lies about Amway, and their answers!Being an IBO is a business. No, it's not. A business provides a product or a service. Like building houses, growing food, fixing cars, or something. Something that actually creates real wealth. Real value. What does an IBO produce? It's like what does a rabbit produce? more rabbits. What does an IBO produce? Yes, that's right, an IBO produces more IBOs. That's not a business, it's a pyramid scam! Systems don't fail people, people fail themselves. Systems are simply a tool. Of course some systems fail people. Some systems are designed to fail people, like the Mafia, casinos, Organized crime syndicates, and Amway. But systems are a tool - the question is whether that tool is being used by criminals to trick, swindle, or steal from other people. This isn't like your job. You don't put in an hours worth of work and get an hours worth of pay, or even a years worth of work. Well, that one's true. You don't put in your work and get out your pay: You put in years of work and loose thousands of dollars. And 99% of you will fail miserably. And the fraction of a percent who succeed do so at the expense of all those failing. This is building a business asset. You spend years building it so it pays you for a lifetime. There are no assets. No property, no actual assets - just at best a bunch of people below you trying to do the same thing until they fail. And 99% of them will fail. And it doesn't pay you for a lifetime because according to Amways own numbers over 99% fail and drop off, so you'll always have to be conning new downliners. How can it be swindling if nobody is forced to sign anything? Swindling is how you get someone to do something without forcing them -- usually something they will regret, something that benefits you, not them. It's not a scam because the BBB rates it A+ The rating is for Amway corporate while the actual scamming is done by IBOs -- Independent Business Operators -- which are separate legal entities, and when they are brought up on the BBB, they would be listed under their own names, not under Amway's. It's still a scam. It's a business opportunity An IBO does not produce any products or services, he only skims from other people, who are skimming from other people, who are ultimately skimming from new victims who are working a corporate job, and pouring in their money to the system. If it weren't for the real jobs of the millions of victims, the whole thing would collapse overnight. Apple and Microsoft are partnered with Amway so Amway must not be a scam. Apple and Microsoft want to sell product. Amway sells their product to their captive victims. Apple and Microsoft make money and that's all that matters -- it in no way proves that Amway is not a scam. Amway is not a pyramid scam Actually, it is. The "Bonus" structure is dependent heavily on the amount of downline business volume there is. Amway does not scam people Maybe not directly, but they create an environment that causes most IBOs to scam people. You can reach financial independence No, you cannot -- over 99% of you will fail. Amway's own publications indicate an average monthly income of $207. Less than one percent reach a living wage. The system is engineered this way. The odds are 99% against you actually even making a living wage, much less reaching financial independence. You simply cannot have an average monthly income of $207 if even 50% of people succeeded as IBOs. Nobody on my team claims I have scammed them. Heh, that's because the ones that woke up to the truth left your team. There are lots people who are not on any team who say they were scammed. Just google it. If you haven't been involved with Amway then you cannot know enough about it to say its a scam Just like seeing someone get mugged, you do not have to be the perpetrator in order to know it's a bad thing. The math is clear - Amways own numbers are clear - 99% of IBOs fail and this is engineered into the system. But this is not the dream they are sold. TIME is the currency of the wealthy. MONEY is the currency of the poor. If that was true, then the thousands of amway IBOs posting to forums are poor. If time was their currency, they couldn't care less about some forum and they sure wouldn't have time to post silly dribble on forums. Fact is, they are broke and having a very hard time signing up downliners and money is their currency, not time. |
