Anyone heard of this? One of my friends told me about some guy coming around trying to get people to join and it's similar to a pyramid scheme. It's some company called Best Associates thats centered in Herndon and it's similar to Amway.

No it is not a scam. I've been with them for years and have made so much money that I quit my day job. It's not for everyone but if you are dedicated then you can make big $$.

Good Luck!

Where? cool? It is not a scam. But you kinda have to scam others to make money. Really its not even scamming. Its called sales. The company is legit.

On November 3, 2010, Amway announced that it had agreed to pay $56 million – $34 million in cash and $22 million in products – to settle a class action that had been filed in Federal District Court in California in 2007.[95] The class action, which had been brought against Quixtar and several of its top-level distributors, alleged *fraud, racketeering, and that the defendants operated as an illegal pyramid scheme*.
While noting that the settlement is not an admission of wrongdoing or liability, Amway acknowledged that it had made changes to its business operations as a result of the lawsuit. The settlement is subject to approval by the court, which was expected in early 2011.[95] The economic value of the settlement, including the changes Amway made to its business model, totals $100 million.[96]

In 2004, Dateline NBC featured a critical report based on a yearlong undercover investigation of business practices within the Amway organization.[127] The report noted that the average distributor makes only about $1,400 per year and that many of the “high level distributors singing the praises of Quixtar [Amway]” are actually “making most of their money by selling motivational books, tapes and seminars; not Quixtar’s cosmetics, soaps, and electronics.”

They scam suckers into buying shit they don't need.

They prey on the sick and dying selling health supplements as cure-alls.

If there is a god, these people are the ones you will see in hell.
