Amway's 'great business opportunity' is only cheating

Now let us have a look at the Business model of Amway, "The Great Business Opportunity".

If anybody gets enrolled as an Independent Business Owner IBO, his performance level is three per cent provided he sells products worth 100 PV. If he sponsors six people and if each of them sells products worth 100 PV, the sponsoror's performance level reaches six per cent. If each of these six people sponsor four people each, the performance level of first sponsoror reachers 12 per cent. Again these 24 distributors sponsor three people each the performance level of the first sponsor reaches 21 per cent. At this level his gross monthly income would be Rs. 56, 925.
It is another thing that there is no compulsion to sponsor people. Then there would be no business at all. Sponsoring should be done and each sponsored person should do 100 PVs, then only the first sponsor would get Rs. 56,925 per month and the annual earning would be 6,83, 100. So, if the first sponsor is doing only 100 PVs and all his downline members are doing 100 PVs, there would be enormous income for the first sponsoror. By the way, this is what is called 'mathematical impossibility'. Nobody could find so many people on earth.
This is what was pointed out by the Andhra Pradesh High Court. The first sponsor is earning income if the downline members are doing the business. That is why this is called easy and quick money.
If this is not pyramid structure, what else is?

Amway apologists incapable of facing ego-destroying reality
Shyam

To persons, such as Trivedi, Scott ('Tex') Johnson , David ('IBOFB') Steadson, et al. 'Amway' is total reality. Yet, in the final analysis, 'Amway' (short for the 'American Way' ) can only be a puerile game of make-believe. All the quantifiable evidence ( as well as common sense), reveals to us that the 'Amway' myth of 'total financial freedom in 2-5 years' is no more real than the tale of one kindly old man with a white beard, Santa Claus, delivering presents to countless millions of obedient children around the world. However, young children's unconscious acceptance of 'Santa Claus' as total reality, stems from a fictitious scenario reflected as fact by the traditional culture in which they live. Up to a certain age, children are not equipped to challenge the model of reality offered to them by authoritarian figures in their family groups; particularly, their parents. Therefore, once children have been converted to a self-gratifying false belief in 'Santa,' the truth (that they are actually being deceived by the people whom they instinctively trust and follow) is unthinkable. The scenario can then be expanded to modify children's behaviour - 'Santa' has magical powers... he can see and hear everything they do at all times... he will reward them for unquestioning belief and punish them for dissent. Only when they attain the necessary level of intellectual / pyschological development, can children begin to use their critical and evaluative faculties and come to realize that 'Santa' is merely a game of make-believe. If you think about it, many of the basic procedures and conditions which have been used to establish the 'Amway' deception are only more-sophisticated versions of those which also propagate the benign 'Santa' deception. However, the instigators of 'Amway' were anything, but benign. In deed, many of their most-deluded adherents and convincing apologists turn out to be educated adults who have simply become incapable of facing the ego-destroying reality that they've been fooled by what is merely a game of make-believe.

Although core-adherents of the 'Amway' myth are demonstrably dissociated from external reality, they are always certain that they alone represent the 'truth' and they act accordingly. This is why Shyam, I keep saying that it a pointless waste of time trying to reason with these deluded people.

In effect, we are telling a group of wide-eyed children that they will receive no presents at Xmas, because 'Santa' is a lie and their parents are liars.


Spineless, faceless, nameless Amway apologists come out in the open
It seems it has been the strategy of Amway apologists to simply deny whatever and whenever something is written against Amway. They simply, rather routinely, ask for what proof one has got for such statement. When I said Amway products are not that of great quality, immediately it was asked what was the proof, totally forgetting that necessary links were provided about the testing at the two laboratories.
The question of easy and quick money aspect of Rs. 56,500 claimed by Amway India website is just ignored. This is how these shameless apologists come to the rescue of Amway whenever it faced any critics. Instead of raising their bored voices here, they could contest the criminal case in the court of law and present their arguments to the Judges.
What is the point in trying to convince me when I have provided enough material about the judgements, et cet ra.
These spineless, nameless, faceless creatures should be thrown behind bars for supporting an illegal company. Probably that is their fear and that is why they are not coming out open.
A girl named Padma from Vijayawada told me that their monthly income is Rs. 68,000 but they live in a two-room asbestos-roofed house. Why don't they verify with their own members at Vijayawada.


Amway losers never file criminal cases because they are also part of cheating
Shyam
I'm sure your free-thinking readers will be interested to read a particularly revealing testimony given by a formerly - unquestioning 'Amway' core-adherent.

"When people ask me is Amway a cult? this is what I tell them.
We ate Amway crap believing it would bring Success!
We drank Amway crap believing it would bring Success!
We washed with Amway crap believing it would bring Success!
We cooked with Amway crap believing it would bring Success!
We drove with Amway crap believing it would bring Success!
We brushed our teeth with Amway crap believing it would bring Success!
We dressed in Amway crap believing it would bring Success!
My wife put Amway crap on her face believing it would bring Success!
We fed our children Amway crap believing it would bring Success.
We fed the dog Amway crap believing it would bring Success!
We wiped our crap with Amway crap believing it would bring Success!
We talked Amway crap believing it would bring Success!
We never took a break from Amway believing it would bring Success!
We never counted our losses believing it would lead to Success!
We went to every Amway meeting and bought all the tapes and books believing it would bring Success!
We shut out everyone who criticized Amway believing it would lead to Success!
We only talked to people who had swallowed the same Amway crap believing it would bring Success!

Amway brainwashes you to keep smiling and believing that everything Amway offers is good and will make you a Winner and everything that is not Amway is bad and will keep you a Loser. It's only when you get clear of Amway that you realize that your life in Amway was crap and that Amway is for Losers!

Thats why Amway is a cult "!!!

I think that this angry fellow just about covers everything, but, interestingly, he's never filed a criminal complaint, and, what's more, he doesn't intend to, because he also realizes that he tried to cheat his friends and relatives.
