ATS - Amway Tool Scam, the symbiotic relationship between Amway and the LCKs. When the LCKs asked for more of the Amway profit, Amway turned them down, but then ignored the FACT the upline was TOTALLY misrepresenting the business model by showing the Amway marketing plan, but in reality making most of the profit from their "tools" sold to the downline, yet leaving the ATS out of the presentation.
I thought my Amway upline made most of their profit from Amway, because that's how they show the Amway marketing plan, but then I found out most of their profit comes from the ATS, and most IBOs (distributors) in their group operate at a loss.

Lying Cowardly "Kingpin" - a high level Amway IBO (distributor). For most groups, it starts at the Emerald level. There are actually 3 levels, the highest is LYING COWARDLY "KINGPIN" - the 20 or so owners of the large ATS companies. The next level is Lying Cowardly "Kingpins", the midlevel, below the owners, but major Diamond and above pins, and finally the lying cowardly "kingpins", the Emeralds and first level Diamonds.
I didn't realize my Amway upline LCK was ripping me off, until I was educated on the ATS (#9) facts.

Amway has ripped off millions of people for several decades, to the tune of 10s of billions of dollars.

Amway is a scam, and here's why: Amway pays out as little money as they can get away with, so they support the higher level IBOs ripping off their downline via the tool scam.

As a result, about 99% of IBOs operate at a net loss, while the top 1% make several TIMES more from their Amway tool scam than from the Amway products. This was made illegal in the UK in 2008, but our FTC is unable to pull their heads out of their butts to stop it here.

Read about it on this website: thenetprofitgroup.yolasite.com and forward the information to everyone you know, so they don't get scammed.
Hi, I'm an Amway LCK(#1). I promote Amway, but make most of my money/lifestyle from ripping off my group via the ATS (#9).
