34: Amway is a Scam, Bae: The Cult of Multi-Level Marketing Companies -- Part 2

18 May 2023

Description

In the second part of their dive into MLMs, Allison and Beverly pull two more beefy deceivers out of the hat: Amway and Primerica.Whereas a lot of MLMs set their hooks in women, particularly stay-at-home moms looking to make a quick buck, these companies tend to have a much broader net, and when it comes to Amway in particular, you'll find yourself stuck in a genuine cult. We explain all the reasons why. And with Primerica, we learn that just saying you're not an MLM doesn't mean jack squat when you actually read the fine print. And you can find better, cheaper life insurance elsewhere.Stay tuned for Part 3!Additional Info:Amway Links:https://www.cs.cmu.edu/~dst/Amway/AUS/cultism.htmhttps://www.moneyaftergraduation.com/amway-is-a-pyramid-scheme/http://marriedtoanambot.blogspot.com/2012/03/how-to-be-good-amway-cult-leader.htmlhttps://www.reddit.com/r/MLMRecovery/comments/ia4ogo/amwaywwdb/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmfhttps://www.motherjones.com/politics/1998/11/tough-sell/Primerica Links:https://www.finance-guy.net/streetonomic/primerica-review?fbclid=IwAR2zhMSuCaOMSMnpyw2GnhVi_rcAjHd7pbAIXTeZ_bdaHrDd9LJgmG731tchttps://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1475922/000156459021009754/pri-10k_20201231.htm?fbclid=IwAR2W8g9gfZdXqvR666DSxdcp-JG06KtkE7G1jmLLdYs-hJ5zfWMTa8PWFe8Show Credits:Graphics -- Nathaniel Dickson: http://ndickson.comMusic -- Spencer Morelock, Ken DicksonDing Dong Darkness Time Media:Twitter: @dddarknesstimeInstagram: dddarknesstimeGmail: [email protected]
