Published by Vue Weekly, a news source in Edmonton, the Top 5 Scam Artists list included Amway (Quixtar):
Dick DeVos and Steve Van Andel are the inheritors of Quixtar, the company left to them by their billionaire fathers. Call it a pyramid scheme, call it multi-level marketing, or, better yet, call it by its original brand name: Amway. Quixtar created a pseudo-religion where God is money and its prophets are the success stories recorded in expensive tapes and books. Quixtar has convinced millions around the world that they too can make six figures simply by selling “the best” soap, vitamins and other amazing products, when the actual average annual income of a recruiter is $1400. Some even lose money at the cost of the recommended seminars and audio tapes.

Tracy…
Couldn’t happen to a nicer couple of boys. To be included with common scam artists like Kevin Trudeau and Sylvia Brown really must be a crowning achievement for their pyramid scam! News of this will be like a shot heard round the world. LMAO!

Hmm, I wonder what the corporation’s biggest defender will say to deflect this?
At least they’re not #1? The moon is green? Our group isn’t like that?
LOL

Amway is in the business of selling hope, not soap.
