Re: [MLM Survivors Club] Re:Ex MLM Junkie

Hi Martin.

Thank you for replying to my post. It is nice to be able to chat with other people who experienced MLM's and the damage they can do to people and their families.
You have asked me to elaborate on a statement that I made in my first email.

"There is no way one can succeed unless you take your diamond upline
back behind the building and ask for a cut in the tools business, or
else."

That statement was made in jest. However, sadly, if one wants to make any kind of real money in Amway, you got to get yourself in the tools business. Everybody who has been in Amway or dealt with Amway knows that there is no money to be made, unless you tap into the tools business. The statement sounds a lot like something like mob speak. Amway operates very much like the mob, only they wrap up their dealings in the American flag and God and Country bit. You would not believe what those people do, and how deep their pockets are. They are truly evil. But don't take my word for it. Read the book "Merchants Of Deception." Do a google search. I was lucky. I was lazy enough not to work the business seriously.

If I was a wiseguy, I probably would of taken my diamond upline out back and had a little chat. But I don't operate that way. There are so many good honest people that got caught up in the Amway scam, it hurts. I see the damage that has been done, I have seen lives destroyed. I will never touch any kind of MLM ever again.

I will always speak out against Amway. I will discourage people from joining. I will always warn everyone I know not to join Amway. And if they have a problem with that, so what. They come to my door, they will have hell to pay.

Hope that helps.

Regards,

P. Watkins

Hi P. Watkins,

Thanks for your story .. each experience brings new light on the subject. Can I ask you to elaborate on:

"There is no way one can succeed unless you take your diamond upline back behind the building and ask for a cut in the tools business, or else."

I think I know what you're saying, but I want to be clear, as it seems this was the realization that changed your mind.

Thanks,

Martin
