Amway has been lining its own pocket with its schemes

Let us have a glance at a part of the Andhra Pradesh High Court's judgement:
As is evident from the contentions advanced on behalf of the petitioners as noted earlier, the petitioners have taken the stand that there is no quick or easy money involved in the scheme and that the money which the sponsor member gets does not depend on any event or contingency relative or applicable to the enrollment of the members into the scheme. But on a careful analysis of the true nature of the scheme as explained above, it is quite apparent that one of the components of the income earned by a sponsor member is the commission which is calculated not only on the personal PV of the sponsor member, but also from the PV earned by all the remaining 102 members falling within his group. There is, therefore, no gainsaying that a substantial part of the income which the first sponsor member of the group gets depends on the event or contingency relative or applicable to the enrollment of members into the scheme. This conclusion can be tested by a further analysis of the income figures given in the earlier paragraph. Supposing the sponsor member at the top does not introduce any member and if he merely sells the products given to him, he gets an income of Rs.12,420/-. If he sponsors only six people and they in turn do not sponsor any member, then he will get an additional income of Rs.23,760/-. If those six members whom he sponsored again sponsor four members each, he will get a further income of Rs.1,14,480/- and if the 24 members sponsor three members each, he will get a further sum of Rs.6,83,300/-. Thus the money which the member at the top of the line gets depends upon the members whom he enrolls or the members enrolled by him enroll. (Para 28).
From the aforementioned discussion, it is proved that the scheme provides for easy/quick money to its distributors. The first ingredient is thus satisfied (Para 30).
When it is crystal clear that it is money circulation scheme and is out to cheat my fellow humans all over world, how can anyone remain passive not to tell everyone about the cheating of this fraudulent company. That is why I appeal people all over world not to fall prey to the pyramid schemes or money circulation schemes of the companies like Amway, Herbalife, Hindustan Unionlever Network, Forever Living Products, Tupperware and others.

Go through Andhra Pradesh High Court Judgement IBOFB to learn facts

It is good that the swindler has finally asked what is wrong with his swindling. It is very easy to answer his question. But let him do some homework. If anybody wants to know why the Andhra Pradesh High Court held the Amway scheme illegal, I am ready to send the full text of the judgment. It will be lot easier for anyone who is really interested to learn facts. And I have been writing in this blog against Amway India basing on that judgement only.
The judgement is based on the writ petition filed by the Amway India itself which appealed to the High Court to declare its scheme legal. In other words, Amway India has dug its own grave.
The judgment is very, very balanced and delivered without prejudice. It thouroughly studied the writ petition filed by Amway India and came to conclusion that its scheme is illegal basing on the affidavit filed by Amway India itself.
The Division Bench of the AP High Court did not rely on the public interest litigation by one of the victims of the Amway scheme or criminal case filed by the Andhra Pradesh CID but solely relied on the affidavit filed by Amway India itself.
My sincere advise to IBOFB is just go through the judgement to learn the facts. I think that he is under illusion that I have been maliciously writing against Amway India. That is not true. There are hundreds and thousands of business houses which have been into legitimate business. I have no problem with them. Instead of doing legitimate business the Amway India indulged in illegal money circulation scheme and I have pointed that out several times.
Still, IBOFB with feigned innocence asks what is wrong with Amway India scheme. I don't think IBOFB is really interested in learning truth. He beats around the bush and time and again asks irrelevant questions like ' who is paying to write the blog'. Anway, IBOFB knows the truth. We can wake up a sleeping person but not a pretending one.

Andhra Pradesh High Court admits writ against Amway

The Division Bench of Andhra Pradesh consisting of Chief Justice A R Dave and Justice Ramesh Ranganathan admitted the writ of mandamus filed by Corporate Frauds Watch against Amway India and issued notices to the principal secretary (Home), Additional director general of police (CID), and Amway India to respond.
After a lively argument for more than 40 minutes, the Division Bench has agreed to admit the writ petition against Amway.
Taking up the writ petition, the Division Bench asked the advocate for Corporate Frauds Watch as to how the scheme of Amway India is illegal. Advocate Mastan Vali explained the Division Bench in detail how the Amway is swindling the gullible. He also narrated the judgment of the Division Bench of Andhra Pradesh High Court and how the government failed to implement the law of the land. The Advocate said that Section 7 of the Prize Chits &  Money Circulation Schemes (Banning) ACt, 1978 gives enough powers to the police to raid such premises on mere suspicion and seize incriminating evidence. Though the A P High Court categorically stated that the scheme falls under the Act, the police are not acting to stop the illegal activities of the company.
The counsel for Corporate Frauds Watch pointed out to the comment by the division bench of AP High Court in the para No. 49 of the judgment which said that ''It is a well settled principle of criminal jurisprudence that no person shall be presumed to be guilty until his guilt is proved, but we are unable to accept the broad submissions of the counsel for the Amway that till the conclusion of the criminal case the police have no power to interfere with the business activities of Amway. Section 7 of the Act empowers the police officer to enter, search and seize any incriminating evidence on mere suspicion.'' The counsel for Corporate Frauds Watch said still the police are not acting on various complaints against the scheme of Amway.
The counsel also pointed out to the advertisements of Amway and said these advertisements are nothing but camouflaged ones to perpetuate money circulation scheme. The advertisement directs people to go to Amway website, where the Amway induces people to become members of the scheme which promises more than Rs 50,000 every month if they recruit 102 members his downline.
However, the Division Bench refused to give notices to the electronic media as we could not submit the copies of TV advertisements to the court.
This is a great victory for the right-thinking people all over world and let us hope that the court verdict would do justice to the millions who lost money in this swindle by Amway.
