AMWAY
Cheated by taking Rs.2.5 Lacs

I had come to know Ashok Sharma from Amway and was also lured into the business of Amway through him. During the course of time he developed good relations and trust with me and we used to do Amway Business together. However, Ashok Sharma used to always boast about his good contacts developed through Amway Business and used to take me around with him to meet these Govt. officials he knew. One day he came at my home and told me that there was an opportunity for getting job in a govt deptt for Rs. 5 Lakhs and he said that Rs.2.5 Lacs was required upfront and the rest later after getting the job. I asked a few friends of mine who were still looking for govt jobs and one of them showed interest. So i collected Rs.2.5 Lacs from him and gave it to Ashok Sharma for getting the job. However, as soon as he got the money Ashok Sharma started ignoring my calls and even stopped meeting me. My repeated attempt to ask him about the job promised resulted in vain. And eventually, i confronted him about the money after 3 months which he said he had given to the friend of his for getting the job. I then asked him to return my money and he gave me a cheque for the amount which bounced. The moment ashok sharma came to know about the check bounce he started making fake promises about giving back the money and somehow managed to fool me further for another 6 months after which time he knew that i could not file a case in the court. I then meet some amway friends of mine who knew ashok sharma to force him to give me my money back, but they too expressed their inability to get the money from him, mostly because he was part of their amway business and they would not risk loosing him or making bad relations with him.

I am now left no where to go, and i have paid my friend Rs.2.5 lacs back that i took from him from my own saving, this for trusting a person i knew from Amway which boasts of its ethical business standards. I want to ask this to amway that how are they managing to still keep this person with them when everyone in the amway business in Shimla knows that ashok sharma is a cheat and that he has joined amway just to make contacts and rob people of money. In another case ashok sharma had also taken Rs. 1.5 lacs from another amway owner for which a case has been registered against him..

Please help me with this..
