I googled a topic related to "amway" earlier today. One of the ads that popped up was about a Web site titled, "amway is a scam"...
Well, of course it is. According to the online dictionary, a scam is "a dishonest scheme... a fraud." In my years of experience, I have certainly seen people in the amway business do dishonest things. And I have heard of different schemes, conceived by amway distributors, in an attempt to defraud other folks...
One guy, who was in my upline for a few years (until he lost his business), was used to selling me duplicate copies of the same informational cassette tapes every few weeks. I was supposed to be purchasing new tapes, but he just copied old ones, sold me those, and pocketed the money... that was a dishonest scheme.
I've known another guy, though, for about fifteen years. He's also in my upline. He's still active in the business, and he's doing quite well... He's never taken a dishonest dime from me... even once... in fifteen years.
Isn't that how it is with any commercial enterprise you can think of?
Some of the people... in anything... will be dishonest. And many will be above board. We all know, or have heard of, dishonest attorneys, physicians, and accountants. We've seen the movies and documentaries about crooked stock brokers, or real estate agents... But, some of your family members work within these same industries, and they're probably doing just fine. In fact, some of my family I would trust with my very life... and some of my people, I wouldn't trust to bring back change from the grocery store!
That is a fact... and, that is how it is with everything.
There are some practices, among amway guys, that I disagree with. The Amway Corporation probably does not endorse them; and I don't practice those things. And, over the years, I've met plenty of honest... and a few dishonest... distributors. That's pretty much life... that's how it is... because, let's face it...
Amway certainly CAN be a scam... but so can everything else!
