That is exactly the point Amway friend, profiteering without personal effort

Now you come to the point my friend. It is nothing but profiteering without personal effort. You quit business ten years ago and still you make money when somebody is toiling for you. This is nothing but unjust enrichment pointed out again by the Andhra Pradesh High Court.
Just merely brushing aside it all as rubbish, facts cannot be swept under the carpet, my friend. The inducement is very attractive and the commission is very high. Everybody tries to rope in more people. And where do they find more people?
They do not hesitate to bring in their friends, relatives, kith and kin. And Amway in one of their business training sessions brainwashes them to treat anyone who does not tow your line as an enemy. That is how the social fabric of the society is being destroyed in India. And it is being done systematically. Unless it is stopped immediately, everyone becomes other's enemy. And the society ends up in chaos.
This is the best advice I got from Amway friend. 'Follow the money'. There is nothing but money and profits. No social relations, love and affection.
Amway keeps on changing its strategies like reduction in product prices by 350%. How ridiculous reduction. What is the original price. The ex-factory price of Glister toothpaste is Rs. 16 and Amway sells it for Rs. 120. If it is direct selling the consumer must get it for Rs. 20 if not for Rs. 16. What is the benefit the consumer is getting? Except toiling for someone at the top of the vortex. My friend conveniently skips the unjust enrichment of Amway by way of subscriptions and their renewals every year which is pointed out by the Andhra Pradesh High Court.
Please read one of the earlier pieces to recall how a housewife is deserted by her husband when she refused to sell the products. That housewife, a mother of two, is trying her best to win back her husband by counseling. The husband is refusing to return home unless she accepts to continue the sales. And he also insists that they are going to become millionaires soon. She says it is humiliating when their friends close doors on her face when she takes Amway products to their homes. This is the pathetic scene and reality my friend. There are at least 50 housewives like Nirmala. More about them soon.

Yes you right, someone is "toiling for me". They go online, order what products they want, and get them delivered home.

They're toiling hard!

The way business works is that you work hard for very little reward, and then, if all goes well, you get the reward. Most of the time you don't.

By your judgement, and that of one of the AP judges, this means virtually every company in the world, let alone India, is a scam. People start businesses, working hard for nothing, then build it up, putting in their own time and money, employing people, all in the hope they can at some time retire.

Every Bollywood actor and movie maker? Scammers! They make the movie, then get money for nothing as royalties come in.

Every author! Same thing. The years writing the novel don't count. Every time some hard working bookstore clerk or internet computer sells their book - they get a royalty! Scammers the lot of them!

The rest of your remarks are just plain silly. A couple have marital problems? And it's Amway's fault? Maybe it is. So? Every day couples have problems caused by their jobs or the businesses they run. It happens! When there's millions involved, you'd have to be surprised if it didn't happen.

Re glister pricing, you seem to have some unusual definition of "direct selling". Direct selling is selling that occurs outside of a fixed retail location, usually in the customers home or office. A 25% markup on manufacturer's cost does not cover enough to do any marketing or pay any commissions to sales folk. Entirely apart from which, it's the role of business to sell as much product as they can for highest price they can get. If they charge too much, their sales drop.

I asked you previously, more than once, what experience in business you have had. You never answer the question. I'll try again. What experience in business do you have?

I'm also wondering if perhaps you're a member of the communist party? It appears clear you are anti-profit, and you've also made it clear you are anti-capitalist in general, that people risking their time and money developing a business in hope of receiving later rewards is "unjust".

So, (1) have you ever owned or run a business and (2) are you a communist?

Shyam,

There is no real evidence that this fellow (ibofb) has run any kind of successful Amway business. Although he claims to not to be involved in any further personal 'bidnez' building, why operate a web page designed to draw in new suckers in languages other than his own? How can anyone that lies about anything be trusted to tell the truth on any matter? His arguments are plastic and he represents a counterfeit.

Folks who toil hard in this scam 'bidnez' are for all intents just buyers of dreams, mundane monopoly priced goods, and all the insane propaganda which teaches one how to be an Amway con man, all while being significantly taken in the scheme as well. Shyam, you definitely do right to warn others about this fellows deceit. Just look at his avatar, his picture? Supposedly this might appear to be a Zorro like hero, but is more properly the attire of a thief?

The Amway swindle that he loves so much attempts to represent itself as a legit affair. It indeed scams enough money to buy all the ads and PR like any reputable company, save one problem, it is not. It has a long history of scandal and a chain of broken dreams and tears from those that have historically fed their piggy bank of greed.

Amway is merely a game that attracts folk who get suckered by liars who many times do not even realize that they are being suckered as well. The swindlers get what they deserve: swindled!

Thank goodness there are high court justices in your country that have determined that Amway does indeed violate Indian law, a fact that cannot be denied.

Wow,

Husbands leaving wives unless they vis a vis "plug in" to a system.

Like North America!

Yep, it's sure different IBOFB.

Here's a nickel's worth of free advice IBOFB:

If you can't prove your point, you obviously don't have one.
