Debunking the critics. Claim: the one who does the work receives the smallest compensation

September 3rd, 2012 | Posted in Amway Myths, Steve Nakamura (JoeCool)

In recent weeks I’ve done a couple of posts where I’ve highlighted some of Amway’s online critics and their hypocrisy and sometimes downright fraudulent behaviour. But what about the claims they make about Amway? Do they make legitimate points? Occasionally they do. But not often. Here’s a recent example: Over the weekend Joecool aka Steve [...]

Who is Amway critic Joecool? And does he owe me $50000?

July 27th, 2012 | Posted in Critics of Amway, Steve Nakamura (JoeCool)

I’ve occasionally participated on a website called scam.com. There’s regular duels there between MLM supporters and anti-MLM zealots with their usual falsehoods and misconceptions. Back in August 2011 a poster joined using the nickname Joecool44. As of writing this post, he has, since joining scam.com contributed 3,473 posts, at an average of nearly 10 posts [...]

1222 new Founder Platinums and above for Amway North America!

October 12th, 2011 | Posted in Amway Facts, Amway North America, Steve Nakamura (JoeCool)

I saw a tweet from Jody Victor earlier today that was so incredible I had to confirm it before posting about it here – What I needed to confirm was this was just for Amway North America. It seemed too small for Amway globally, but an almost unbelievable result for just Amway in North America. [...]

Are you recruiting your competitors?

A supposed “criticism” of Amway, and indeed of multilevel marketing, that I’ve seen turn up regularly is the idea that it’s inherently flawed because “you are recruiting competitors”. For example, Robert T. Carroll, in his “Skeptic’s Dictionary” says – Why, you might wonder would you recruit people to compete with you? For, isn’t that what [...]

Amway’s most prolific internet critic – what we already knew, confirmed.

March 8th, 2011 | Posted in Steve Nakamura (JoeCool)

Last month I hinted about some information proving the dishonesty of one of Amway’s most prolific internet critics. As I expected, that critic guessed who I was talking about and has attempted to cover his tracks. Alas, he hasn’t succeeded. JoeCool is the (main) internet pseudonym of a former Amway and WWDB IBO by the [...]

Amway critics and credibility – another one bites the dust

October 20th, 2009 | Posted in Commentary, Rocket, Scott Larsen, Steve Nakamura (JoeCool)

When you read stuff on the internet, it’s difficult to know what’s true and what’s not – generally all one can do is assess an authors credibility by what they say and how accurate it is. Everyone makes mistakes occasionally, but if people are making major errors of fact in their posts … well, it [...]

This is hilarious …

May 30th, 2009 | Posted in Steve Nakamura (JoeCool)

Anti-Amway zealot JoeCool has posted various responses to my Anatomy of Deceit – an Amway Critic’s Price Comparison post accusing me of being a liar and wrong etc etc. One particular post is absolutely hilarious and is truly indicative of what we’re dealing with here -
