Amway, pyramid schemes....... and Nazism. ACHTUNG
 
The other day at work, I was approached by a customer who said he was impressed by my style of interacting with people. So we got to talking and he told me that he was running a business of his own and that he'd like me to consider working for him. What would i do for him? He wouldn't really say, but he asked that we get together to have a sit-down talk next week. We were talking for about 10 mins before he finally left.

When my shift was over, an employee from another store (I work in a mall), Dan, says that he saw that man talking to me. Dan says that he was pressured to work for him too, but it turned out to be nothing more than a pyramid scheme.

The company is called AMWAY. [url:89bce]http://www.amway.com[/url:89bce]
Their website makes the business look legit, but i warn you now, if u are ever approached by such a recruiter.... heed the following site: [url:89bce]http://skepdic.com/amway.html[/url:89bce] and [url:89bce]http://www-2.cs.cmu.edu/~dst/Amway/[/url:89bce] and [url:89bce]http://www.cocs.com/jhoagland/[/url:89bce]

Those of u who have actually profited from such pyramid schemes, speak now, or forever hold your peace.

There was a similar scheme here in Canada.

A company called Cocooning Club offered something similar: usually, I
never would have tried it, but we were some of the very first people that
got a spot up there so the odds of making money were on our side. It
was shut down very fast...

You can actually make money at amway if you dont mind acting like a used car salesman to all you friends, family and random people off the street. I got suckered into going to one of those meetings before along with a friend. We specifically asked if it was amway and we were told no. Me and the guy I went with got up to leave as soon as we heard it was amway. The speaker started to pitch a fit about it and said it was rude. Our basic response was that it was pretty damn rude to lied to to get us to attend. That started a chain reaction and about half of the room left 5 minutes into this guys hour long sales pitch.

my dad's been approached by amway people when I was but a kid,
but he's economically smart enough to tell them to go f*** themselves biggrin:

This reminds me of a story of when my friend distracted a Jehova's Witness at the front door while his brother came from behind and hit the Jehova right in the back of the head with a wiffle ball bat.
