<prompt> Human: My friend initially introduced me to Amway through a phone call, where a member of the company was connected to his phone line and pitched me a job opportunity. He buttered me up, giving me compliments, and he invited me to a meeting. That particular phone call was vague; no details or the company was named. The presentation was all feeling and no fact. The presenter compared Amway to McDonalds. in McDonalds case, the franchiser gets 96, 4 goes to AmwayI was invited to come to another meeting which I have yet to attend, and I was wondering how Amways structure is possible. At this point Ive only been presented the dream of buy into, and spread, your own e-retail website, and reap the profits by cutting out the middle man.Im at a loss, really. Not sure if im just cynical, if my friend is selling me a scam, or if my friend really buys into Amway and is pitching it to me with his best intention. Can anyone explain or share their experience with Amway?  <response>: Amway is a garbage company that preys on the weak, desperate, or stupid. Avoid it at all costs and do what you can to get your friend out of it.
