#scamway

I didn’t want to say anything until she actually left, since she’s said she was going to move out before (twice) and flaked

but as of yesterday, she has packed up her things and left for Seattle

one new housemate arrives this weekend, the other at the end of the month. and yes, all the appropriate testing has been or will be done

so basically: no more Amway bullshit! no more appalling Hot Takes on everything from Hinduism to abortion to voting to disability rights to being able to recognize lesbians by the way we walk! (every single one of those could be a whole other post- and probably was. check my “roommate” tag)

I really do wish her all the best in her new life, with every success and happiness. I hope she gets out of Amway. Being annoying, narrow-minded, and self-centered isn’t enough to make me hope she fails. I just want to be clear on that

Um...she mentioned Inception? I guess nobody in Inception has a “scarcity mindset” by the metric her “mentors” have set for her.

Basically, 95% of people are better off in their current shitty, dead-end job than trying their hand at Amway or in other direct-to-market-sales company.

I actually don't even call It Amway. Me and some of my other friends call It Scamway for a reason. It Is actually a scheme that Is used by other Pyramid type companies that lures In folks that need money fast which Is usually young teenagers and adults. First, I should explain what a Pyramid scheme Is In a simple fashion.

Pyramid schemes Is also called 3/3/30. First 3 Is how many recruits you need, second 3 Is for how many recruits your recruits need, and 30 Is for how many days you have to do all of that until you make money. It may sound easy, but the reality Is that you have to target friends, family and strangers. That means you would have to approach them In a matter of solicitation. So once you get members under your name and build a team, they have to go and find members for themselves to make money because you get to have a portion of your teams sales. That's basically a small explanation of a Pryamid scheme.

Now for the Scamway portion, I had "friends" into the business for more than a year now and I supported them for awhile because I thought It was cool that they were selling things for themselves to make cash, but I didn't look It up what Amway Is about until mid December. They always targeted me to come to their meetings and by doing that, they tried to convince me like this:

"Hey Jordan, want to come to the meeting tonight? Their is going to be food and you can learn how to make a lot of money. Now I know, your going to school and don't have a job so this could be an importunity for you and your family to make a lot of money."

I thought about how good that sounds, but I already knew from that sentence that nothing Is that good to be true. First, you can make that type of money without sacrificing time and I mean some serious time. If you actually go into the business and attend their meetings, they actually encourage you that school Isn't everything and to fully take on the business by devoting your time and money into It. They told people that education Isn't the only way of being successful. The explanation that they used to being successful In life was to sell their products of soup detergents to skin care. That sounds unbelievable already to just get rich out of.

Another thing about Scamway Is I heard they have a Ditto Quota which Is that you have to order products annually. They connect It to your bank account and take out money from you so you can get the products and sell it. Its ridiculous In trusting a business with that type of way In make money for the sake of it.
