Why isn't Amway illegal?

I think it is a pyramid scheme and it should be illegal. My brother has been doing this business for twenty years and dropped thousands upon thousands into those crazy"how to build your business tapes" and he only makes a few thousand a month. He claims it's residual income, but I see him working 3 times harder than a real job. If he would have put all that money into a retirement account, he would be retired by now sippin Lattes on the beach.......

I have worked in resturants, and dug graves, worked on a farm, drove truck, in a factory, and worked some construction, I would do it again if able. I wonder what some people do not know about the word ILLEGAL. it is scarry that criminals are allowed to just roam in the US without knowing who they are or what they are up to.

There are absolutely no reasons for it to stay illegal. It's an enormous cheek that it is illegal, it's a bit like saying "God made a mistake!" (thanks to Bill Hicks deceased for that) and that seems a tad presumptuous to me.

Quixtar is an offshoot of Amway. Avoid MLM like the plague.

A "pyramid scheme" is illegal.  The U.S. government agency that regulates all networking-type businesses is the Federal Trade Commission.  Not all businesses with a pyramidal structure, are illegal.  One of the keys to tell whether an MLM or "networking" or pyramid-structured business, is legal or not, is "Does a product or service change hands, in return for the money invested, and is/are the product(s) or service(s) a reasonable, fair-market value for the money?"  Another key question is, "Where are the profits made?  Primarily from the legitimate sale of fair-market-value products or services (legal), or primarily from entry fees (illegal)?"  A Multi-Level Marketing (MLM) business that is very much legal and ethical, and is used by the FTC as an ideal model for all others, the grand-daddy of them all, is the Amway business, since September 1999 known as the Quixtar business. Both Amway and Quixtar are sister companies and both are still growing by leaps and bounds.  Amway started as a soap sales and mfg concern in the basement of two men's homes in 1959.  Rich DeVos and Jay Van Andel.  Both are multimillionaires and they and their eight adult children, who now run the corp. HQ, are very respected in their home community of Ann Arbor, MI and around the world, have met with Presidents, kings and queens, etc., and the business is now in over 80 countries.  I'm in Harrisburg, PA and know nothing about Quest International, but I have been in Amway/Quixtar a while and there's not a better place to be than the team I'm on.  The products are the best in their class and are great value.  The convenience is unparalleled.  the sky is the limit with regard to how much you can earn.  E-mail me if int. in further info.  Jack

because if you have control of the area you can stop people from entering and exiting, forcing them to go all the way around which takes longer... and time is money.  They can also charge money for a toll therefore creating a profit.

Depends on which state you live in.  In some states it is illegal but in others it is not.  Check your states stats.

No, that would be illegal. You are in a public access place why would people want to risk that?

It's illegal.\n\nPeople who casually break the law purely for their own pleasure are poor citizens.

No its not illegal.\nIts free information.\nThey're not selling you anything, if they were, then that might require a permit of some sort.\n\nBut you don't have to accept the literature, OR answer the door.\nYour choice.
