Friend: Give me a reason to trust YOU. You are accusing Eric. Prove it. Eric is written a book and there are many facts in it. I can verify some of them. I can relate many of them. What about you?
Eric is not alone.

I read the whole thing from cover to cover. It's a very interesting story.
Although not very well written from a literary standpoint, the content had merit and was very disturbing. Was some of it exaggerated? I don't know, possibly. But I DO know that many, many, many of his experiences are factual, as others have experienced them as well. This is not an 'isolated case.' I feel for the guy and his family.
To 'friend of the gop' - interesting how you can call Eric Scheibeler the nut job, and not Dexter Yager. You, sir, as scarey as well.
Here is what I want to know? Dude says he was making 30k after expenses and taxes. WHAT IS THE PROBLEM???? People would KILL for that extra money coming in. If he was only living on that income alone...then as "friend of the gop" has a valid claim. I have not seen or read any of the official or non-official story. All I know is that 30k is good money, espeicially if you are making on the side of a regular job, which averages 25-30k.
After only a short time as an IBO, I find Eric's book to contain an exact mirror of everything that has been presented to me and said to me by my "upline." Thankfully I came across his book before I got sucked in any further and wasted more money on tools and seminars that make others rich and drain millions from unsuspecting people.
having read a book, i can't help but feel that eric is just a usual man - full of blinding self-importance, ugly self-pity, fear and, above all, greed.
can't say whether this book contains a real experience or is it a maneuver to take a chance and sue millions from amway and whoever comes along. i don't care.
but in any case, being less self-important, self-centered and self-pitying would make everyone a kind of person that has enough sobriety, personal power and strength of will to laugh at a thought that someone can do something to him or her.
take full responsibility for yourself and be free at your heart, and your life will be full of genuine happiness.
As a current IBO and member of quixtar, I have to say that Im sorry for all the people who are so conviniced that it is a scam simply because it didn't work for them. Buying books isn't mandatory, you can get them from your local library-- and neither is going to a seminar. If you go, it is because you want to go. No one can force you. My total investment in this business is $200 and a few hours a week. Im already making $50 a month, which means that I will have made $600 after a year-- 3x my initial investment. Not to mention the fact that as as IBO i get better prices and deals on anything i buy and I get all the tax writeoffs of being a business owner. Scam? do your homework and look at the facts. Just 'cause someone wrote it and posted it on the internet doesn't make it true.
Eric Scheibeler is wasting everyone’s time. He is a self-proclaimed whistle blower, a self-proclaimed FBI informant, a self-proclaimed Quixtar insider and big shot, etc. The fact is, and he admits it, he doesn’t even have the common sense to properly manage his money on a monthly basis. Now I see he is writing his own press releases to give the illusion that he is someone that should be listened to and trusted.
If things don’t go his way, there must be some kind of conspiracy going on. He accuses nearly everyone of a cover up: the FBI, Presidents, the GOP, etc. Isn’t it more likely that Eric is watching just a little too much tv and is a nut job?
