Precautions should be taken if long-lost pals contact you out of the blue to tell you about a new business venture they're participating in, or to ask if you're free, if you despise your work, or if you want to start your own business. Otherwise, it's likely to be another MLM fraud similar to the Amway scam. Here's a reader's account that tells us that nothing ever changes in the Amway organisation.. The same old 8 p.m. Amway witching hour meeting time is still in effect. Arrive early to ensure that you have a decent seat. J.O.B.s are the target of insults. Cult leader preaching to his followers about how impoverished they used to be, and how now, thanks to someone who showed them the Amway plan, they are raking in the dough.
The correct attitude from everyone who attends an Amway meeting, of course: getting the hell out of there while thinking this is fucking scary.
What you should say to the Amway ambots with their bogus once in a lifetime opportunity is – SHOVE IT WHERE THE SUN DOESN'T SHINE! –
Hello, Anna. First and foremost, I must express my admiration for your page and express my heartfelt gratitude for your blog. Second, I attended a night meeting this past Tuesday with a LONG-LOST-COLLEGE acquaintance whom I had completely forgotten I even knew existed! At the petrol station, we happened to run into each other... I had a brief conversation about business and before I knew it, I had been booked into a network business systems and marketing meeting at a Holiday Inn in town.
Currently, I'm pursuing my MBA while working a 9-5 job with a "decent" benefits package. I'm also certified in bookkeeping. The meeting is scheduled for 8 a.m. sharp, but we want to arrive a few minutes early because the room is expected to be crowded, and we want to be sure we can find seats! I had eaten before we arrived, but I inquired about snacks, and he responded that there would be some (as well as plenty of water for everyone!). In the room where we were sitting, I was introduced to his VERY GOOD colleague, and afterwards to the business EXPERT who was yelling away at the front of the room about why a JOB was being considered a DEAD-BEAT! Stories about "eating from the dumpster" and "sharing a bed in the homeless shelter with four other people" came up during my interview with the homeless shelter director. Once they saw the PLAN, they realised they had struck gold!!! During this time, I've been waiting for some relevant Independent Business Owner methods, customer-base, product-marketing, and business-promotion techniques to come my way... licencing, location, and so on ANYTHING! About 10:00 pm, the EXPERT moves around the conference room concluding the recruitment process for a few of the other candidates... “Say you're entering the company to make a difference in your family's lives, to bring your family closer together, and to one day offer them with a bright future... Say it to them with me right now (he is holding the hands of a young couple while their pals yell this out loud).
He performs this all around the room, holding hands with couples and guiding them on what to say. He tells them that there is no other way to bring hope, support, and an endless amount of money into their families' lives.
He assured me that it is never too late to join, just to make sure I act quickly and join in time with the rest of them, so that I can retire making approximately $20, 000 per week managing my own company and not having to pay for my groceries or receiving endless discounts on everything I purchase or lease (apparently this includes vehicle leases or financing...HAHAHAHA). We agreed to meet the following day to help me DIGEST all of this NEW information and once-in-a-lifetime opportunity... I only had to specify the location and time, and he would send several of his business associates, as well as someone with a Master's degree in Business Administration if necessary; they have individuals from all walks of life there!!!!!!
No, I haven't answered my phone or checked my email, and if I happen to run into him, I'll just tell him it's not for me...ever! I had the chills during the f*cking meeting... When they look at you and speak to you, the way their voice sounds makes my skin crawl... AND I'M A DUDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
