So was I. Still am. Amway is a fine company and it is not a "pyramid scheme". btw, Rich Devos's wife Helen just passed away this week at age 90.
That is sad about Helen. Thanks for letting me know.
Amway is a fine company and it is not a “pyramid scheme”.
Amway, by its very nature, is a type of pyramid scheme. The recruiters actually tell you that in so many words. Amway doesn’t sell products. It sell dreams. They tell you that success is achieved by creating down-lines. The more down-lines, the more money you make.
When you pay the monthly bill, they will tell you that the greatest benefit is access to the up-lines.
So it is all about the up-lines and down-lines. The difference between that and a pyramid scheme is that a pyramid scheme doesn’t give soap for your money.
