Eric Scheibeler

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Eric Scheibeler is a former Amway/Quixtar executive. As an executive at the Emerald level, Scheibeler claims he and his wife were only earning a net annual income of approximately $30,000 a year (i.e. after expenses). He claims that when he began to ask questions, he fell from grace with his upline Diamond executive, Fred Harteis, received threats, and was eventually forced out of his business after Amway suspended his income. He recorded his story in his book Merchants of Deception, which he has made available as a free download.

In 2000 Scheibeler took these allegations to court, suing Amway and his upline claiming fraud. The court referred the case to arbitration and later reviewed and confirmed the confidential results. Quixtar claims that Scheibeler “chose not to appeal the court’s ruling and instead embarked on a smear campaign.”
