Thank you to Sammy (who is no longer known as Scammy due to his departure from Scamway!) for sharing his experience with us.
So glad I came on this blog and discovered that I am not the only one who believes this nonsense!
Because it was described as a "once in a lifetime chance" and that attending would be "life changing," I decided to go to the leadership conference in Las Vegas. We spent three days talking constantly about how rich the diamonds are, how important it is for us to plug into CORE, how much they all adore us, and on and on.... I've never felt so foolish for wasting money in such a way before in my entire life! For 8-12 hours straight, we had to sit, and after that, we went to "night owls," where they just kept repeating the same nonsense.
I had had enough and simply went upstairs to my room to rest for a few minutes. The worst part is that I'm a medical student who has never heard of Amway prior to this. Having been dubious from the beginning, when the person suggested that I take out a loan to get to the conference (I was a student at the time, so I was basically broke), I stared at him as if he was nuts. Loan? My investment in this ridiculous idea has already been made: I've paid for a "startup package," I've paid for my super ultra necessary "communikate" system, which receives useless voicemails while I continue to receive txts and phone calls from everyone (I'll never understand that concept), and on top of that, I'm going to pay 50$ a month for cds and books that I will never use.
I've already stepped out the door with one foot. Just trying to bring my pals with me (including a friend who I've known for 14 years) since I thought I was doing him a favour by enrolling him in this company's training programme. I found myself pestering him to buy after he joined my downline, and since then, I've stopped and am doing everything I can to get him kicked out of the company.
Already, just one month, another convention has been scheduled in Washington, D.C. Because I was wiped out in Vegas (which must have been a first considering there was no gaming), and because my upline lied to me about the costs and meals (his words: yea buddy, just bring like $50 and we'll assist you out and give you meal bars and everything! ), I can't afford to travel. During my time there, he was completely unhelpful, and he wouldn't even provide me a perfect glass of water without asking me to buy it from him.
And guess what, if I miss this one, according to the company, it will be the second thing you will regret missing in your life, and "you must be present to set an example for your downline!"
Psh, please don't blow it touting your ass ambush.
