When you're new to this country, no matter what visa you're in...may be a student in F1 visa, may be dependent in F2 or H4, or an IT consultant in H1 visa, you've to go thru' a stage where you'll have an encounter with a Quixtar IBO and that too an Indian IBO or a Desi IBO with a smile in his face and crook in his mind!
Sounds scary? It's not as scary as it seems to be. They don't look scary, but looks one among you, may be more attractive with more "make up" in women's face! I specifically wrote this post targeting Indian subcontinent IBOs which includes Paksistani IBOs, Middle East IBOs, Bangladesi IBOs, Nepali IBOs etc which look for similar immigrants for their recruiting campaign. I'll discuss about the recruiting strategy of American IBOs and Hispanic IBOs in my subsequent posts.
Beware of people who come and ask you WHETHER YOU'RE INTERESTED IN MAKING EXTRA INCOME IN YOUR FREE TIME
Beware of Indians who smiles at you and exchange phone numbers.
Beware of Indians who gives you opinion about the stuff you buys at the shopping center whether it's a shampoo or a deodorant. If they give opinion, next point from them will be that they have better products than this.
Beware of people who are "extra ordinarily well dressed" in a shopping center where "casuals are the unofficial dress code"
YOU KNOW WHY? Because all these rivers converge to a BIG SCAM NAMED QUIXTAR WHICH IS THE OLD DEVIL AMWAY! These are the recruiters of Quixtar/Amway who will approach you with false promises of extra income, IT job shifting, IT jobs etc.
If you accidently tell them that you're interested in making extra income, YOU"LL BE INVITED FOR A FREE BUSINESS PRESENTATION! They may tell that the entry to the meeting is thru' invitation and you're invited as their GUEST. Truth is that the meetings are mainly to RECRUIT INNOCENT PEOPLE LIKE YOU INTO THE QUIXTAR SCAM!
If you're not clear about why I am warning you regarding Quixtar aka. Amway, read my other posts.
So, watch out for Indian Quixtar IBOs at malls, shopping centers, McDonalds etc to recruit you!

I read several of your articles and its past midnight ..... still reading.
I was also IBO for 2 years but only for consumption of their high quality products mainly nutrilite. But, sooner than later it dawned upon me that these amway guys are well dressed up thieves.... modern sea pirates on land :-)
But, I wonder how you can write so strongly online ? Would amway not sue you ? I also wanted to write on such points but dont want to get into any lawsuits..
Keep up and please write more !
I would have liked to write to you but I guess you dont have any email id on the site....

Recently I posted my ad on an Indian site to find a roommate. This Indian girl calls me and says that she is interested in the accomodation. I called her over to have a look at the room and guess what !!! Yes.. she was an IBO and she wanted to just "recruit" me as another Quixtar scapegoat.
I couldn't believe this.
even befor i reqad your article, I refused to join when i approached by these "pirates of land".
You are really doing a good job.
people like you come under a new category called A-1 "Good samaritans".
Thanks,
Kris
Amazing finally a place, where I can share my opinion. I had this roommate, who was so engrossed in Amway ( a.k.a Quixstar) that he tried to recruit me.
I thought, only some indian students are involved. But, I got the shocked when I saw a well to do IT manager doing it.
These people are certified stupid. One of their famous line to start a conversation is " Are you Indian ?" and " I have seen you somewhere ?" and " My friend has a interesting business model and he is looking for hardworking people " and " Are you from Mumbai ?".
Fren: I just dont want to be an Avg Man, wasting my idle time post work.
Me : If you think utilizing post job time for family is foolishness than i am proud to be a avg man
Fren: Can retire at 40 with my business model
Me : Working ur ass off 24*7 just for some dream money till 40 is much worse. I'd better have a family life all thorugh my life rather than starting to live with family after 40. There is nothing called tomm.. Live for today my friend..
Me : I was in the midst of Apartment Shifting, i said i need to get going ..
Fren: DOnt worry shifting, you can buy them out with Amway.

Fren: Rental Apartment

Fren: I am more keen on my Business Expansions(AMway). thats Y i nedd ambitious people like you.
Me : Unlike you, I love what i do .. N i enjoy doing it. I do it by choice and not for survival.
Me : If you are so ambitious and so confident abt ur business model then y dont u quit job n do ur business fulltime.
Fren: I plan to in future..
Me : How much more time... If in 3 yrs you dont earn enough for monthly survival how do you plan to retire by 40 and become a millionaire.
Fren: Started bull shitting.. & giving weird reasons like only the start is late rest is all smooth n quick ride. he was nuts by now.
Fren: if you dont have time, your wife can do it.
me : She is into IT as well and she has no time for anything like this.
Fren: OK lastly, One request.. Istead of making walmart rich can u buy products from us and make me richer.
Me : I though Amway was supposed to make u rich not me.
Me : I was fed up by now and said dude send me the link will look into it.
