Scam
July 18, 2021

This is a Network Marketing Company ( MML). They think everybody is fools. My mam and my sister worked for Amway for 4 years. Around 3 years ago Amway changed their business model. This is where the problems started. Their new business model is now utterly ridiculous. Amway distributors now have to go out and do conversations everyday with members of the public. So start chatting to the public and see will it lead into a business meeting. If the public become interested you then have to bring the person through a 7 step process with your sponsor while not telling the person the name of the company until the very end. If at any time your sponsor feels the person isn't suitable for the business, they will filter you out in a nice way. How nice of them. They seem to be picky and choosey at who they let onto their teams. If you get accepted onto the teams and you accept, then you have just entered hell. You then have to buy books, audios and you have to attend seminars every month and you have to attend 3 conferences per year which are held in different countries while paying for the books, audios, seminars, conferences, flights, hotel and food all from your own pocket. Then sponsors ask you to put in a £300/600 order per month buying products you don't need just to please them. This is not making money. It's loosing money. Even right through the Pandemic, sponsors expected distributors to pay for all this. They didn't care about distributors who lost jobs, loved ones etc. All sponsors wanted was BIG MONEY. Both my mam and sister felt brainwashed from listening to audios, reading books, attending seminars / conferences. Most of the Amway distributors are obviously brainwashed. If my mam and sister had of stayed working for Amway, it would have cost them £6,000 each per year to work for this company. My mam knows of distributors who are 15/20 years with Amway and they are stone broke and driving around in old cars all from investing money into this company. Sponsors tell you that any money you invested into Amway is an investment into your future but to me this looks like an never ending investment. Amway distributors are self employed independent distributors but they are been controlled by their sponsors. Sponsors are telling them what to do which shouldn't be the case if your self employed. So anybody thinking of joining this company, please do your research first. You won't make money. It was a nightmare for my mam and sister especially the new business model. They're new business model seems to be very shady and hidden. Be very careful. AVOID
