Class Action Suit Filed Against Amway in Montreal, Canada
Oct 25th
Williamsport, PA October 26, 2009
New Class Action Lawsuit Names Amway
A class action litigation was filed against Amway Global on behalf of defendants alleging a loss in excess of $15,000. The complaint states that “The Defendants sell dreams of wealth, independence and success when in fact the overwhelming majority of distributors recruited into this dream world lose money and over half give up within one year”.
Eric Scheibeler is no stranger to this industry. He was a former government auditor and high level leader in the multi level marketing industry when he himself discovered massive, systematic fraud. He is an expert in the area of multi level marketing fraud and is the author of the book, Merchants of Deception which exposes the industry from within.
Revised and Updated
Great news! Merchants of Deception, the hard-hitting expose of Amway’s Motivational Organizations by a former Founders Emerald, has just been re-released. Revised, updated, with new information added, this book reveals the slimy underbelly of the motivational organizations within Amway and how they attempt to control their members. Look for a full review of the book here soon.

It’s Been A Long Time
Oct 24th
It’s been a very long time since I updated MLMSurvivor.com. Health and other problems forced me to cut back. I have to admit, also, that the political climate during the Bush administration was such that no real legal changes could possibly rein in this out-of-control “industry,” and I felt very discouraged.
However, it’s a new day in Washington, and I am hopeful the FTC will start doing its job to protect consumers again. So I will update MLMSurvivor.com occasionally, although it won’t be nearly as frequently as I did before.
Going forward, all new information will be done here, blog style. But the old MLMSurvivor.com will be lurking behind it, in its entirety. Just click on the link above that says “Original MLMSurvivor Site” to go to the hundreds of pages of information and comments.
Welcome back!
