Merchants of Deception Site to Close

After 10 years of fighting against MLM behemoth Amway and its kingpins, Eric Scheibeler is stepping back. He sent an email today to his subscriber list. In part, it stated:

“Thank you for being part of the Merchants of Deception community that has grown to over 40 nations. It has been ten years of effort to protect those recruited into the Am-way business globally.

I have had the good fortune of meeting and speaking with many of you. That has been wonderful.

This has been a difficult but rewarding journey. Great strides have been made to protect consumers with Am-way having to radically change its business model in the UK and it appears that many of those protections will be rolling out in other markets now.

It is time, in my life, to literally close this chapter in the book and move on to other exciting endeavors wholly unrelated to M-L-M. If you have not yet obtained your copy of the new, updated and edited book, Merchants of Deception, for yourself or a loved one — you can only do so for the next seven days. At that time, the Website and Blog are coming down and they will no longer be available in any format. The newest edition of Merchants of Deception is available for this limited time in pdf or paperback for your convenience.”

You can purchase the book here.

It has been my privilege to know Eric. He has shown rare courage in speaking out vociferously against Amway and Quixtar, even while they were bankrupting him. His book is phenomenal. His work in gathering tens of thousands of victim testimonies from all over the globe has been incredible.

I reached a point a few years ago where I had to step back from my anti-MLM activities because of the health problems I had developed and for my family’s sake. It was a difficult decision for me then, and I know this decision has been difficult for Eric now. Although difficult, it was the right thing for me then, and it’s the right thing for Eric now.

You can help Eric by buying his book now, while it’s still available. On February 12, it’s going away for good. The link, once again, is here

I wish the Scheibeler family all the best going forward.
