Folks,
I guess some of you have heard of a company named Amway, or perhaps have been approached by their member. I was approached 3 times, by the people I know, to attend the 'something new, both charitable and lucrative'; once I've attended myself, another time my wife was with me. In those meetings I was told that people that join and work hard for 2-5 years are going to be finacially independent for the rest of their life. My wife me agreed their representative may come to our home, so we can discuss the details.
Now, after that 2nd meeting, I've spent two evenings googling about Amway. The search engine in Firefox lists 1st the name of the firm, then 'Amway scam' as second. You can guess my feeling, as I've read the stuff. The 1/1000 of people in the top brass of the scheme ('king pins') are surely wealthy, the 1/100 can make a living out of that, but the rest 99% are cannon fodder - as in all 'good' pyramide, or multi-level-marketing schemes.
Now, since the US (country of origin) is saturated, they are after China India, plus other, previously not covered countries.
After the second evening of my research, I've canceled the meeting with the representative.
Do not take my word for it, use the internet common sense for your own conclusions.
