"Mr. Scheibeler's book is a chilling portrayal of the process by which intelligent people can persist for years in pursuing the Amway dream while making no money. It is all the more significant because he earned his way to one of the highest distributor levels in the Company....I learned of similar experiences from ex-distributors when I interviewed them for the State of Wisconsin's Amway litigation in the early 80's. Such conditioning may explain why the tax returns (obtained for this litigation) of all active Wisconsin Direct Distributors, the company's top 1%, showed an average net income of minus $900. Why did these men and women persist....under these economic circumstances? Eric Scheibelers book answers this question for those whose minds are clear enough to read
its pages."

Amway India - accused of
"Running a National scam with
its money circulation schemes"

The Mumbai Mirror reported that The Economic Offences Wing is on the trail of the pioneer of direct marketing, which is accused of running a national scam with its money circulation schemes (full article below). According to the article, raids were conducted on Amway offices in September 2006 and criminal cases were booked against the company and some of it distributors. Another article stated "In series of raids that ended on Wednesday night the Economic Offences Wing of the Hyderabad police shut down all offices of international multi level marketing firm Amway. With it, the fate of 80,000 distributors of the company has been sealed. The enforcement says the business model of the company is illegal." Amway has contested the claim, which was recently heard in a court of law and is awaiting a decision. A retired scientist has filed a public interest litigation in the high court of Andhra Pradesh stating that that his two son's seven year involvement in Amway caused them to suffer both financially and morally. A law enforcement official has advised that a consumer association has petitioned the Monopolies Restrictive Trade Practices Commission (MRTP) regarding "illegal and unethical practices". Updates will be posted as these cases progress. See PDFs here: India 1 India 2 India 3
