  • AMWAY and BWW is a huge scam

    I was in Amway and BWW for 3 year since March 2017 and left 2020. I was brainwash by EX mentors who isn’t certified to help anyone but only with there experience.

    I learned Alots but once I left I finally learned how to live my own life without worrying about bonus point or money or things that does not add value toward my happiness.
