Just abut everyone has heard some Amway horror stories. Stories about being tricked into a meeting or being deceived. The Amway name omitted when presented with the opportunity. Outright lies at times. Usually these things happen when IBOs are on the rerruiting trail. They are so desperate to find downline that they will do anything to get a prospect, not thinking that deception will almost ensure that nobody wants to do business with you. There are countless stories of someone being tricked into an Amway meeting. My first brush with Amway was just that. I was invited to a "beer bust" in college, only to find out that I was at an Amway meeting.
But why do they do it? I beieve because uplines still teach it, They teach fake it till you make it. Claims of untold wealth, residual income, easy life. Think of this. Has a single diamond ever disclosed their actual income so people can see if their claims support the lifestyles they portray? In the past, some diamonds due to court proceedings, had to disclose their earnings. While nice incomes, it was nowhere near enough to support the "cash" diamond lifestyle that the big pins show off. The cash lifestyle that the diamonds often brag about is a myth. If you do the math, you can easily discern this.
Many use $100 or $200K as the pinnacle of success, but many do not realize that after taxes and business expenses, that doesn't leave enough for more than a middle class lifestyle. I suspect many diamonds are in debt trying to show off a lifestyle to recruit hopeful downlines, I certainly don't believe that diamonds pay cash for everything as many of them claim. I also believe that many diamonds actually live in debt trying to portray a lifestyle that they can't afford. Many in the US live in debt. Why would diamonds be the exception?
So why to IBOs llie? I believe it's because they have to. The truth would not be enough to attract recruits into Amway. The average IBO makes pennies and those on the tool system lose money. The products are not competitively priced and so even the products must be boosted up at times with false claims (i.e. perfect water). I beieve IBO's lie about Amway - because they have to.

AMWAY recently gave "A warm welcome to our New Platinums by Amway employees and Doug DeVos! We appreciate everything you do and celebrate your accomplishment!"
I asked AMWAY point blank to answer me this: "How many 'New Platinums' did you welcome, and how long has it taken them to get to that level since becoming 'New IBO's'?"
They have yet to give me a response.

Another good question they likely wouldn't answer is how many platinums there are total now, and how many were there last year? Platinums regularly fall out of qualification.
Hello,
I just enrolled for Amway and would like to know if all their supplements are approved by FSSAI or not, recently I heard that about 9 awmay products have been banned, now the dilema is how do I know which one's are banned as I am selling amway products on my blog.. here at Amway daily supplements
What is the FSSAI?
What an odd time for a guy from India to be posting about Nutrilite and Amway after this recent event happened...http://ethanvanderbuilt.com/2016/09/13/direct-selling-guidelines-2016-india/
The even stranger part is the way this guy is selling nutrilite. He is not actually selling it through his website, but rather promoting it and then selling on Amazon. India has very strict rules now on the functionality of Amway, and it is only a matter of time until it completely falls apart.
The FSSAI appears to be India's version of the FDA. Honestly, they are probably more effective than the FDA because of all our nonsense lobbying and deregulation. They probably don't have people like Orrin Hatch sitting around saying the supplement industry is too heavily regulated and the FDA needs to chill out (The FDA's job is to regulate...). Meanwhile he is getting paid large sums of money by the supplement companies...but at least he isn't biased.
It's against Amway rules to sell on Amazon, ebay or craigslist.
But if you are a private individual (not an Amway IBO) who happens to possess Amway products, you certainly have the right to dispose of them in whatever way you see fit. That would include selling them on Amazon or any other on-line venue. If I own a General Electric fan and I want to put it up for sale on ebay, General Electric can't stop me.
That may be for Amway in America, but they have very different rules when it comes to different countries. They had to adjust their marketing strategy when infiltrating different markets, because they have different rules set up by their governments. However, Amway has a great ability to slink their way into the governments of other countries pockets and continue to grow their brand...
Anonymous at 12:56, that's not true for Amway. A man obtained Amway stuff in an auction and made some side money selling the products. Amway sued him.
Here's the link to an article I posted about it:

But then why didn't Amway sue the persons who had auctioned off the products in the first place?
