Amway
Reviews and Complaints

While the above negative complaint was passionate (lol) and the racial slurs were offensive... I BELIEVE EVERY WORD OF IT! I suspect it's not just black women - it's women in general. My personal experience with the security staff was similar. I found the security staff to be completely ineffective and rude during my interactions with them at a Magic game. I had a security problem and security staff refused to help us. I am not able to go into detail because of pending litigation, but I can tell you they should ALL BE FIRED! When the security staff finally responded they were rude and treated us with contempt. The "floor managers" as well as the uniformed staff are completely for appearance. They stand around and do nothing and treat the female spectators like SH***! And to the smart a*s who told the Angela522 to call "Rev Al" ... with that attitude you should be working for them too - you'll fit right in. The truth is still the truth - Amway security staff are absolutely rude and obnoxious.

I think that you might be a little to sensitive about this and need to stop ranting. Really, do you think that your lies will work to make a facility that serves the minority community as this one does would be racist? I really find that offensive. If it's so bad then cal Rev Al and he will make it right by shaking down the Amway Center for a bribe as he usually does when he need fast cash.

I got a call from them to. They told me they were filing a civil complaint against me. I was sceptical to call back because I thought it may be a scam. I never returned the messages. But I finally did call the number that was left by voice mail by a Ann Jones, a few times...To find it was in regards to a pay day loan that I had taken out and could not afford to pay back at the time. I do owe this loan. After contacting my attorney I was advised that they can file a civil complaint & request the court summons me to appear. In most instances, the plaintiff does not call person to attempt to settle of court ~ but he suguested that maybe this is a new approach. Anyways he said after getting the docs in person or in the mail I have a time frame to answer the complaint or the court may enter a judgement against me. Ms Taylor was helpful in answering my questions and even set a payment arrangement that I could afford. After paying this off she sent me a paid in full letter and the matter has been resolved.

I also had an issue in which I spoke with a woman who gave me two different names each time we spoke.

Like many, I have had payday loans in the past, and I currently have one. However, I have paid back all of them. When you fill out the info for the payday loan companies, it's pretty simple for your information to end up in the wrong hands. IMO They are making money off of people's financial problems. They will probably do this to thousands and thousands of people and some will be scared into sending them money.

I just received a call from a private number. It was a ladies voice(I can't remember the name) They told me I had a complaint filed against me for writing a bad check. They never said the name of their business or who was the specific person that had filed a complaint. However, they said I have a right to know who it was that had filed the complaint. They gave me the number [protected] to call back. The funniest part was, when I pressed "0" to speak immediately with a representative, the SAME LADIES VOICE was on the automated response for her answering machine with...you guessed it...a different name. This company is trash and are mentally insane if they think I'm sending any money or speaking with any of their representatives until they state a specific amount for which I "owe" or the "company" that they are representing.

Funny part is,

I’ve been getting the same calls. They have also been calling other people who know me and telling them the exact same things that the rest of you have experienced. After I threaten them with a call from my attorney (because they said I would be arrested, which is an illegal action) I was told that they are collecting for a company called Cash Well which is a pay day loan company that I am unfortunately in default with. I can’t afford to pay them and I can’t make them stop calling people they find to be connected with me.

I have had the same thing happen. They agreed to make payment arrangements with me however my whole damn checking account was hacked. The account that was hacked was not tied to the account number I gave them. They told me they would serve me with papers regarding this issue last week. As of today I have not had papers served nor had a call back. I will wait a week or so before contacting them. I think they are legitmate but use illegial tactics.

I started to receive calls from a "Natasha Williams". She is telling me the same thing and I have not had a checking account in years so I know that is bogus. She slipped up and said they would start tracking me down and I would get "served" at work and at home. I have received collection calls and they all state the call is being recorded and it is for debt collection purposes. She never says that, never says what company she is with, never states what party is after me for writing a bad check. Again, if you don't have a bank account, you can't write a bad check. This sounds like a scam to me.

My husband just got a call yesterday. I think its a SCAM... we to were told the same thing...I had started to ask questions and they were giving me info that wasnt even my husbands. We live in California and they call us from [protected] and then give us a case #. From my understanding AMWAY FINANCIAL are advisors and an investment company not a collection company... Have they continued to call?

Well I was told that last week and so far not served, They are all a bunch of stupid people trying to make a buck and they are not going to get it from me!

I got a call today amd they sat at ed they would sue me and the judge would not make the arrangements I wanted to make on the loan I borrowed. They also said it should be tomorrow morning that I would be served with papers.

So has anyone heard from them since the threat? Anyone get served with papers? Just wondering since they told me the same as above. I did not give them any of my info and I called my debt person who is handling all my payments. They told me that they were probably not legit and to see if they call again. If they do by law they have to send a letter by 30 days that they have assumed the debt to notify us.

DING DING ROUND ONE!

Tatiana- meet TexTex...Im sure he wold argue otherwise...

I did Amway in Canada years ago and your summary is exactly what I was told. Someone from my church contacted me and wanted to help me as well and to help me succeed and they had you going all over the place for these stupid meetings and you are getting poor and they were getting rich. When you can't recruit people to go to these stupid meetings then they stop contacting you. So after a period of time I quit going to their meetings and got what little refund I could from that business kit.

This is the best summary of Amway/Quixtar I have ever read! I too had a "friend" want to help me succeed. What a bunch of crap.

I cannot wait to read the canned Amway response to this well written document.

My Schwan's rep got me and my husband to go to a meeting and now he won't return emails or calls in response to my declining to become part of his "group" through LTD in Norfolk, VA. It is sad that people seem to flip out - but then again I guess they have to take their anger out on the people smart enough to see a pyramid scheme when they see one; bottom line is if the business or people cannot provide you with a copy of the FTC document of disclosure for their part then they are likely an even bigger scam and want you to buy "educational tools" to help you succeed in the business. RUN!

She went the wrong way about doing things, a sample is never shared between clients. It is for personal use for that person.

I too sell from Amway. I apologize that she was rude to you. Please keep in mind that she is only a rep for what product she sells. The quality of the product does not change because of the seller. Many times I buy from McDonalds from burgers to bottle water. However, I do come across people who are plainly rude and mean. The cooperate cannot change the way their employees act, but they can reprimand them and/or terminate them. On the contrary, the rep you spoke with is her own boss. She is the cooperate. If you remember her rep number and name, call Amway to report her. They will instruct you what to do.

I'm so sorry this happened to you! I am a business owner through the World Wide Group, and I sell Amway products. Not everyone who sells Amway does so through the same company, like I said mine is through WWG. I would never treat someone like that and neither would any of my association. I hope this doesn't tarnish your thoughts of Amway in general, a lot of the products are great. Again, I'm so sorry that person was so rude to you! You are right, makeup should not be shared!

Was scamed by this group in July 2009. They got $750.00 out of me, then wanted more money. I closed my account at bank so they couldn't get any monies out of it. Please don't let this happen to you. This was all the money I had for the month.

Thank You
Ada L. Cauley

I would avoid doing business with any company that had the word "Amway" in their name.

Kelby is at kginsc207@yahoo.com if anyone wants to talk about any of this. I am just so sick over this.

I talked with 3 people. Sharon Taylor, Nancy Walsh and Eric in customer service. Told to send wire internationally to save some fees and send to Mathew Munroe. They made one mistake. I have the real name of the Sharon Taylor person. The first fax they sent me was sent accidentially with the persons real name on it. When I asked severtal times, who this person was, they denied it was sent. But on a fax transmittal, the number faxing from always appears at the top. The name was Ionica Mihalachie. I could tell tey became very nervous and that's why they woold not let me talk to Ionica AKA Sharon Taylor. They all talked with an accent. How can these people listen to you cry sending them every dime you have until next payday, take your money like this. These people need to be stopped. Like I mentioned, I have one of their real names. I will not let this rest.

I am another one. They got me for $1040.00 on June 17, 2009. I filed a complaint with BB and also online with the FBI, Onine Fraud Dept. Please can someone do something for us. That was my entire paycheck.

Ken I also fell victim to this company. I recieved a call from a Nancy Walsh and she promised me 30000. I thought it was legit also but had many reservations. At the time we were looking for som loans to pay off some debt. but dont remember appying for this company. When she told me i had to pay 1200 to recive it i though it was a small price to pay to get this much money. I had to borrow it from my dad though. When she told me i had to pay 1700 because of my credit I really becam suspisous. but i borrowed it from my dad again. but before i did i made this woman give me a guarentee and she did. But for the hell of it we called wester union fraud hotline just to check things out and they told me it was fruad. so i caled her back and canceled it. she then told me i had to pay 700 to cancel. which i will never pay. Do you know what happened to this place. I did file a complaint with the fbi. and they did pursue the complaint i think. I do not see thier website anymore. email me at ramtough9904
@aol.com if you want to talk about it.

Yes.. It's really happened to me in bangalore..Oneguy called me regarding part time income..One day i met with himm..He is trying to convince me to but 9800 rupees cost of Amway worthless products.. but he hidden wht's my job..he told first buy and use these products ..if u r satisfied then i will let u know the ur job..Then i got ..he is trying to cheat me.. i told tomorrow i will pay..After that he called me to buy those producs..I came to know that these people are fraud people in bangalore cheating unemployee people..i thought to complaint againt him to police...But he has family for that i warned him dn't cheat the people with ur cheating tricks..

Please dont fall in Amway Britt (BWW) people trap .. ur life will spoil..if u didn't take right decission..

Perhaps Very True,
Many incidents are happening here in India too. I was shopping in 'Total' Mall in Bangalore, and from no where, a couple start communication and tried to continue relations by relating himself to my hometown, then he offered Cup of tea at his place which we accepted. After having tea, we also offered them to come our place for the same. They got the chance, and they came with all their IBO of (Britt Worldwide) and started my Mindwash saying they are different from AMWAY. I was expecting a healthy terms with him, but then was frustrated to listen his million rupees plan. They just want me to shell out 1000/- as membership/registration. I found my self in his trap which he has intentionally created at the Mall. These people can be anywhere searching for their soft-targets. BEWARE to become members...if you can not make the same traps for others.

Yes, I do agree that Amway is cheap. It will make you to sell the product to your own mother/Wife. These people are such bigtime losers who will waste your 2 hours!.

One of my best friend called me one day stating that he would like to take suggestion from me about the business as I have the knowledge about the business world. As I know the biz world, I agreed to spent two hour with my friend.

There he is, explaining me for hours to join Amway. I told him arre baba, mei to insaan hum... sub logo ko idar jeena hei... mei kushi hun aur mei kushi rahna chaahta hu...

I told him that he lied me. Even to sell this, you'll lie to your mother. Chain marketing ( hidden in case of amway ) will make you cheaper than a street seller.

In order to get people under your tree, you'll even convince your wife, mother, daddy, brother and everyone. Believe me people hate this. I don't want my relatives hate my...

Beware! This may not be fake. But your reputation in the community goes down. People think that this guy is cheaper than a street seller. Go for a franchisee or some other way to do a genuine business. Don't make your own people hate you!.

People hate door sellers. Don't get in to Amway. My friend is in amway for 9 years. He's still nothing. He told me much about this [censor]!

Amway is great for amway and bad for the [honest] IB'Owners' (and their friends).

BTW, they want you to go to the seminar because speaker makes money out of it!

Totally agree with both comments above. Quixtar/Amway is scam. Pyramid Schemes never work! If selling products is only on the internet then anyone can create their own website and sell whatever they like. (Since if it is all about E-commerce).

These representatives are all liars, and my theory is to earn something, you must work hard for it. If businesses like Quixtar can help someone to make money then everyone in the world will be doing this.

My family, friends and I have suffered a lot due to this business. I was approached by a family friend (Neelofar and her gang in Jersey City) and was involved with this business for 6 months. The people who we were involved with were liars and illiterate. Their demand would be not to discuss business plan with anyone without their permission and not to talk to cross-lines. And even if we spoke with someone then they would make a huge deal out of it. Later on we had a huge argument with the diamond and other people in that group to explain what waste of time this thing is.
To Quixtar reps, education/job was not important and neither had they valued it in their speeches.
Now, what job /business in the world de-value education and job?
Morals are something; these people do not have morals.
Anyhow, I can go on and on but will say one thing, please stay away from these people.

This was totally true because it happened to us and we are so sad! I was a member in Amway, and then I cancelled my account due to their false talk! They’re really, really BIG CHEATERS as everyone commented. We have truly suffered, but thanks to God that I’ve cancelled everything. I can’t deny that they have some good projects, but very rare! Amway’s projects are so expensive, even if you just register, so it cost a lot!
The problem is that their project doesn’t renews, it just stays the same thing.
I agree 100% with those who complains on Amway cause I have tried it very well. I couldn’t even sell the projects I booked to my friends because it way so expensive. It has a same problem in Sweden because my friend lives their and she explained the same problem to me(she was also a member in Amway).
I’m now registered in a company that has satisfied me too much, actually and it is Oriflame. I hope someone of you can know more about it because it’s 100% Swedish naturally and safety projects.
It’s not a joke, because I’ve tried Oriflame and wish to proclaim it to every one of you.
I’ve a lot of things to explain about Amway, but maybe later.

Thanks in advance

This happened to me too. The guys always lie to get you to this seminar.

AmyWay is a scam and handles business in a very unethical way. They take advantage of the old and uneducated victims who are lured by misinformation, chasing a goal that’s always so close to reach but never a reality, I invested so much and when they realized I was no longer useful they discarded me like they did to others complaining. Companies like this have always been getting away with it because most people don’t know they can get their money back.
Luckily I found someone in these comments called Alex, the most reliable Asset Recovery Agent who took on my case and made sure I recovered everything I lost. You can email him here;

I am concerned that my son has been brainwashed into being a "business owner". Even though he is highly intelligent (for a 20 year old), he can't seem to do the math. We are negative. We will see when he is making 6 figures in the next year or 2. He apparently has a new family of friends, because his old friends avoid him. His parents are fools, working all these years and not millionaires. He is planning on throwing his college education away for a scam.

Can someone help?

oh by the way you can get back some of your scAmway scammed money

M3C Slimjim & NoCultForMeThanks - Good points!
In fact can any of those earlier scAmway apologists who posted here some years back, can any one confirm that they are now diamonds or at least emeralds? No prizes, I just want to identify your scammer level. The rest of them of course dropped off, quickly scurried somewhere full of embarrassment, while others are still being scammed. Oh "success" is just a around the corner you know. A long corner that's not to be. Meanwhile, life is on going, kids are now in high school, debts have piled up while supporting upline's lifestyle, etc.

I'm guessing that most of the earlier Ambots who posted on this board a few years ago (Heather, GoDiamond) have already dropped out of Amway and have slinked off embarrassed to have been snookered by the scam. The majority of the brainwashed "fired up" IBO's either run out of money or have some kind of epiphany before 2 years are up as to how their finances are in a mess and their personal life screwed up by their change in personality.
The constant "love" and "hugs" described by Arjun is on the list of brainwashing techniques called "lovebombing". People tend to drop their guard and red flags to those who give off warm, fuzzy vibes, regardless of how phony and forced it is. Thus cults use it. Other brainwashing techniques used by Amway is requiring constant "indoctrination" in the guise of "motivational" CDs, meetings and seminars, which keep the victim up late at night as the brain is more open to propaganda when exhausted.
Those who are brainwashed don't see themselves as such. That is the whole idea. They don't see it strange that they alienate friends and family they have known all their life in favor of a "new" set of friends who encourage them to break free of the "negative" (i.e. voices of reason) people close to them. Religious cults are the same way. They counsel that anyone outside of their closed group are negative, evil and to be shunned. Interestingly, these new cult (Amway) friends who hug and love proclaim friendship forever will drop the IBO like a ROCK should they ever drop out of the cult. Then they will call them quitters and losers and other bad names behind their back. So much for that love, eh?
Less than 0.6% of those who get involved in Amway will ever see a decent profit. And for that to happen, like in any pyramid scheme, they have to be ruthless and uncaring of any lives they destroy in order suck in enough downline to make any money. Sorry, for those odds and selling of one's soul, I'll buy a lottery ticket instead and keep my job that pays me over $100, 000 a year, full medical and pension benefits and I enjoy doing and keep my friends and family and peace of mind.

I was new to the US, I met an Indian man at the local post office. He was very friendly and told me how he was self employed. I was new and easily trust people, specially when they talked in Hindi as that is my mother tongue. The man then invited me to a meeting, he asked me to dress formally. I was charged 30$ entree fee. In the meeting I saw hoards of people all dressed very well and on stage a select few people doing a presentation of how rich they were and all the good things in life they had, during dinner break I was shocked to see there was no dinner served! If every one there is so rich and the meeting was of filthy rich people and 30$ entree fee I was expecting a dinner! I was amazed to see these men and women in suits pull out wall-mart bags of home made food from their swanky leather briefcases and eating while they stood out of the hall, no table chair to have dinner, having directly from plastic bags standing. I was truly amazed. The man who got me to the meeting then asked me to fill form and pay couple of hundred dollars, I dint want to so I said I need to think. His wife was very good looking and she was a very sweet lady, he knew I enjoyed her company so he made sure she was the one who explained me the business when I went to his house. He would go to get Ice cream or some crap and leave us alone so she could explain me in detail about the Marketing crap. She would call me when he was not home so she could explain to me everything about the business, she did a great job. She tried her best to convince me to join their growing business, she was very warm lady full of hugs at smallest reasons, she hugged me a lot and told me she felt I was her long lost relative and she hugged me saying I was part of their family. I also made him pay for a few dinners in hope I will join, later he understood I am not interested and gave up.

i really hate this amway ppl, they can even go to the extent of not talking to you anymore if u refuse to be their downline. what kinda of a crap is this. i had my cousins wife over to my place, and she introduced this so called 'wonderful bussiness venture', without mentioning the name amway, finally, when the introduction part was over, she finally uttered the word amway and i was pretty sure that i was not goin to join this cult-like organization and screw my life. i told her that i wasnt interested and she kept bugging my life like forever until she really got my message that i was really NOT INTERESTED..! since then, she neve spoke to any of our family members anymore. i also lost a fren into this bloody scam, she also refuses to talk to me nw..what kinda of a attitude is this? is this what they teach and preach when they attend to all their meetings and seminars. to detach themselves from family and friends who do not join them in this bussiness? please grow up amway distributers..! dun be childish..! mature..!

All the people here. Answer my question, why did Amyway come to America? Research it... Here is the simple point.The company origins were in Europe.They never made any money becasue the government there never approved their products. They thought their next strategy was to come to America and operate there on a different name which is 'Quixtar'. For those of you, who did not research this, do it. It would help. As for the fools who joined the company, learn about business and this includes heather. I would recommed heather go to school and learn.. Even the other idiot godiamond too, do your research instead of ripping people off their money.

Heather tell me why the company's products are not sold in the market? The reason is that the FDA has not approved their products. It is illegal to sell them in the market. Heather did you know about this? I am pretty sure you did not because you are brainwashed by the fools and you are helping them clear out a lot of debt.
Heather, tell me how many lawsuits are against Quixtar. The answer is over 200. The California court awarded once couple about 25000 a month for life and quixtar has to pay it. Heather did not you know about that? Obviously not...

Do the BBB recognize this company. Hell yes. But it is written clearly on the site it is an MLM business and is a pyramid scheme. Heather did you know about this. Obviously not!

Heather, you can marry the other idiot 'godiamond'. He is on this complaint board too. Take the stick out of your ears, clean your head and learn more... Yes you are brainwashed and you are going to loose a lot of money before you will finally admit it that you were wrong

I like how quixtar preaches "fake it till you make it". It's fitting really, as most of their members are fake. I have a friend who's related to Larry Winters, a diamond. His uncle dragged him into the business and been his personal success coach. He's taken him to all the rallies, the get togethers, helped him get all the tapes and paid his costs without him having to do anything really. He's even tried helping him sign up his friends and associates. That wasn't working. So then they had someone FIND candidates to put under my friend. People my friend had no contact with. Then my friend posed as a successful business owner who makes tons at quixtar to these people and offered to be their mentor, spilling rehashed motivational ### to them in the exact words they were told to him.

But what these people don't know is that:
A) He paid nothing. Not the 100 and something dollar IBO registering fee. Not the 5 dollar door charge at every seminar. Not the 10-20 dollars for tapes and videos used to brain wash their members. Nothing on the cost of travel or entry into their conventions.

B) Quixtar operates on a point system. About every 3 dollars you spend, you get 1 point. All members must pull 100 points in order to even see a return from their business. So this means that you are spending 300 dollars or so EVERY MONTH on absolute crap just to get a return. He brags that he's making close to 300 every month just off quixtar already. He doesn't mention how much he's putting hin.

C) The crap he is buying / trying fruitlessly to sell to others is nothing but trinkets and junk. They say it replaces your household spending but truthfully, unless your entire monthly spendings equate to energy drinks, vitamins, and other garbage that would fill a elementary school students bring home christmas catalog... you're not replacing anything.

D) He's been completely brain washed. He's no longer himself. He genuinely BELIEVES the business and everything they feed him. He thinks he's a new person. He's cut people out of his life because they didn't support the idea. For what? A small small check at the end of the month? And that's ABOVE AVERAGE for members in this group. He's had more help than anyone will ever get going into this business. With mediocre success like that, I wonder what it actually takes to make money at this?

So unless you have hundreds of contacts who will all buy mostly useless supplies from you and sign up and spend 300+ a month for your business, you aren't making money. This business isn't for the regular person, but they don't tell you that. Those people are filler and what make it work. They are where the money comes from.

Quixtar is a sham, plain and simple. They are not what they say they are.

This is to godiamond.
I have read your post. You are ignorant and do not understand the business world.

First of all an MLM is an illegal business pyramind. What is the meaning of it? It is when someone tries to sell a product that has little or no meaning to the public. It is sold by hiring members in their downline and finally when no profit is made, the business crashes. Now godiamond the fool who wrote that, I am sure you are going to go down soon for a fact.
Now my question to godiamond. Why are Quixtar's products not sold in the public? 1)There is no demand for the product 2) The FDI has not approved the product 3) MLM - According to BBB. Godiamond go to the BBB site to see what quixtar is. Go to the FTC site to see how many lawsuits quixtar had. Both the FTC and BBB do write quixtar as MLM. If you want to read it, go ahead.

Comparing the military to MLM. Why is the military a product of no value? It never is. Everyone loves the weapons used. Many of the weapons are brought overseas. What about Quixtar? Who buys it overseas. NO ONE!

Show me the facts that you got a lot of money.In fact why not show a notarized bank statement?

Get an education godiamond... You the ignorant who can't even prove one bit from your bank statement wants to lure others to a trap. I know all the facts of Amyway and I know your are hiding out from telling others that you have not even made a single profit and you stil have a job.

By the time you finished reading this message, it was enough to apply for one job. GET A JOB!
