Forever Living Amway business

Forever Living Products business model a la Amway
Recently, there was an invitation from Forever Living Products business meeting. The speakers at the meeting said that it was a good business opportunity. They also said that anybody could become a member by paying Rs. 10 and get an identification number. Then they could purchase products from the company at a discount and sell the same to make good profit. The key point here is all the products are exorbitantly priced. The toothpaste alone costs Rs. 220. Who would buy a toothpaste at such a price. Other products also are equally highly priced. The members are offered a huge discount of 45 per cent. The members are free to enrol members and there is no compulsion. If they enrol they get commission on their business too. Here comes the money circulation scheme. More members they enrolled they get more commission on their business also. They get discount of 45 per cent and depending upon the number of members they get commission of varied percentage. Now what is the original cost of products and how much the company is making on the maxim retail price of the products. If this is not money circulation scheme what else.


What is the relationship between Ram and Sita?
After reading thoroughly Ramayana, the great Indian epic, one nitwit finally asked what is the relationship between Rama and Sita. Trivedi just now asked after arguing in this blog several weeks, what is money circulation scheme. He could have gone to older blogs to read what is money circulation scheme and which enactment covers it and what is the punishment.
This type of nitwits are found through out world. That is why this type of fradulent companies have been hoodwinking people and lining their pockets for several decades. If one company is closed, several other crooks raise their ugly heads to cheat the gullible. That is why I make it a point to bring awareness among people not to fall prey to these monsters who are out to steal your hard-earned money.
But greedy people who want to become rich overnight never hesitate to cheat their own friends and relatives in the name of 'proven business opportunity'.


Amway's business model is money circulation scheme
Shyam
In respect of 'Amway,' the term 'Direct Selling' is a ritualized inversion of quantifiable reality. Core-'Amway' adherents, such as your naive young friend , Trivedi, are constantly told that they are involved in the 'Direct Selling Industry'. They are also constantly told that they are 'IBOs' ( 'Independent Business Owners.' ) Self-evidently, all this thought-stopping 'commercial' jargon has been maliciously introduced to control the reality of 'Amway' adherents and that of casual observers. Trivedi has apparently swallowed so much of this hypnotic drive that he is now unable to think, or communicate, using accurate deconstructed terms. Indeed, it would be a very interesting excercise for Trivedi to sit down and attempt to explain on paper exactly what he believes he is involved in, but without using any of his habitual '100% Positive Amway' terminology.
Unfortunately, Trivedi is currently unable to face the fact that 'Amway' core-adherents are the de facto slaves of billionaire American racketeers. They are unpaid proselytizers for an economic pseudo-science, commonly referred to as 'MLM' ('Multilevel Marketing'), but which is actually a camouflaged closed-market swindle or money circulation scheme. The evidence for this, which is staring Trivedi in the face, are his own 'Amway' accounts.
In the adult world of quantifiable reality, for more than 50 years, virtually no products have ever been retailed by 'Amway' adherents to non-'Amway' adherents, and no one (not even 'Amway's' aggressive echelon of attorneys) can refute this simple fact. No matter how you divide up the money in any closed system of economic exchange, it is an absolute impossibility for the majority of its contributing participants to receive a profit. Anyone claiming the contrary is a liar, and lying to people in order to take their money is fraud which is a form of theft.


Amway apologists conveniently skip many a question
Amway apologists conveniently skip the aspect of the question that from whose pocket the Amway pays for the foreign jaunts of the IBOs. The IBOs get only peanuts and sizable amount is pocketed by Amway worldwide. A small part of the money pocketed by the Amway is spent for foreign jaunts of the IBOs.
People who lost money in the scam of Amway never prefer to file a criminal complaint because they are introduced by their kith and kin. They think that they have already lost money why lose relationship too. But the crucial point is that they never trust the person who introduced them into the 'proven business opportunity'. That is why it is all the more dangerous and damaging to the social fabric of the civil society. That does not mean the crime had never taken place.
Amway apologists also conveniently skip the question why the Consumers Forum of Krishna district, Andhra Pradesh slapped a fine of Rs. 1 lakh on the basis of Andhra Pradesh State Food Laboratory Report. Instead, they simply attempt to discredit the lab report. But people know well about the tactics of these crooks.
My dear fellow humans all over world! Throw these crooks out from your respective countries.


Intellectually castrated Amway apolgoists
Shyam
The arrogance of your little band of resident 'Amway' apologists is again self-evident. They remain convinced that I am addressing them directly when, quite obviously, I am addressing all my comments to you and to your free-thinking readers.
Typically, when these unquestioning 'Amway' adherents can't follow what I am saying, because they have been intellectually castrated by a totalitarian cult, they systematically retreat into their group-delusion of absolute moral and intellectual supremacy. They have been conditioned never to consider that there might be something radically wrong with their ego-building, controlled model of reality.
Indeed, the puerile and abusive comments of Mr. 'Tex' Johnson put me in mind of members of the 'Ku Klux Klan' from the 1920s, or proponents of the Apartheid regime in S. Africa. In both these cases, a fictitious scenario of absolute moral and intellectual authority was used by wicked imbeciles to justify criminal activity.


One need not wait till the end of trial to say Amway's business model is illegal
Young people, these days, are very anxious to become rich as early as possible to enjoy life while they are still young. It could be understood. To achieve that goal, they could choose a lawful business or study hard to become a professional. Those who can't do these both naturally become anti-social elements. That is what happened with these Amway apologists.
Youngman Trivedi raised a point. He said, "besides this ur point against amway regarding money circulation scheme its like considering court giving final verdict regarding murder and accusing of murder both as same."
It is true no one is guilty unless it is proved otherwise in the court of law.
Addressing this aspect, the Andhra Pradesh High Court refused to agree to it. Just read the following.
"Sri B Adinarayana (Counsel for Amway India) contended that even assuming that the police are satisfied that the petitioners (Amway India) are indulging in money circulation scheme, they cannot interfere with the business of the petitioner till the criminal court after a full fledged trial holds the petitioners guilty of the offence alleged against them. We have carefully considered this submission of the learned counsel. It is a well settled principle of criminal jurisprudence that no person shall presumed to be guilty until his guilt is proved, but we are unable to accept the broad submissions of the learned counsel for the petitioners (Amway India) that till the conclusion of the criminal case the police have no power to interfere with the business activities of the petitioners. Section 7 of Act (Prize Chits & Money Circulation Schemes (Banning) Act, 1978) empowers the police officer not below the rank of an officer in charge of a police station to that effect."
So the Amway India's business model is a money circulation scheme and is illegal.
