Amway pitch on the street: scam or not?

A reddit report about a other scam that cost someone Amount not specified. Learn how to avoid falling victim.

Class was over so I was on my way home. Then some elder woman approached me saying some things about how hot it is today and asking me if I'm from here, my looks and jewelry, complimenting me. Then she talked a lot about her son, daughters and sisters. She shared about how good Amway products are and how it healed her heart problems. I said I'm on other meds and she asked me if I have symptoms like heartache and leg pains. I said yeah kinda?? and she was shocked and said God sent her to me to stop me from taking my meds, saying that it will kill me if I don't stop now. She then told me to start taking Amway products (the capsules and pills) and told me to set aside 500 bucks to buy these — mind you I'm a student bro. I was quite doubtful of all the things she said and she NOTICED and asked why do I look like I'm focusing on other things in my mind like I don't trust her. She said on God's name I don't lie to people, I pray 1-2 hours a day. She would never do that to anyone. She said she can even pay for me. She has my number though. She said she can mail the stuff to my house which made me even more nervous. I said nah I'll just go to your place and she was so happy? That's all. Someone let me know thank you. I can't remember everything she told me but I just searched up Amway and they say it's a pyramid scheme. I really wanted to walk away but I felt like it was pretty rude to do so.
