Bollocks that you have had more than 2 people message you.

And bollocks that you have had another member join you and they're keeping it secret. And bollocks you're so busy.

Because #lifestyletribe/ #Juiceplus

Exactly! No likes or PM's.

In fact the one person who does like it, is the person who dragged them into it in the first place.

My JuicePlus bot's FB messages are currently recording how she and all her family are succumbing to colds and connected infections. That's going well, then.

Nancery · 05/02/2016 13:44

I just knew it was a MLM thread! I find it strangely compelling to watch them on FB all coming out with the same nonsense, whether its Juice Plus, Forever Living, Younique etc etc.
Inbox on fire indeed!

scarlets · 05/02/2016 13:46

Why do people get sucked into this nonsense? Someone's getting rich, and it's not your average facebooker!

Sirzy · 05/02/2016 13:47

That's the one nocca, and then a few hours later "only 9 places left for x, I can't wait to start it"

Motorheadmum · 05/02/2016 13:47

Knew it had to be JP or FL or one of the others! Have a look at the bot watch threads on here op!

fuzzpig · 05/02/2016 13:47

Ha.

I finally have a MLMer on my facebook. She's a new friend, she did take no for an answer immediately though, so no badgering or anything. Lots of posts but nothing about the amazing busy lifestyle etc.

Nancery · 05/02/2016 13:48

and surely if you were actually that busy you'd be too busy answering the emails instead of telling people on Facebook that you're 'inbox is crazy'

Chippednailvarnish · 05/02/2016 13:48

I have a crazy inbox. Mainly it's spam...

TaliZorahVasNormandy · 05/02/2016 13:50

I have a MLMer on my FB. But she normally just asks if anyone wants anything and maybe the standard JP stuff but otherwise, shes relatively normal.

It all sounds utter bollocks though.

Pantone363 · 05/02/2016 13:50

Good I want one on my FB so bad

Highsteaks · 05/02/2016 13:51

Dammit I only have one MLM bot on my Facebook (Herbalife) and she is not nearly annoying enough to get any pleasure from! I really want one of my friends to join Younique so I can't truly witness the car crash!

Cakeycakecake · 05/02/2016 13:52

I feel bad, a lovely friend is sucked in by the younique crap. I bought the mascara at the start (didn't know a thing about all this) but nothing since and all the same status updates.
I ignore those posts and any selling attempts and very much keep it to the kids chat. I just hope she's not wasted more time and energy than she can afford...

ForeverLivingMyArse · 05/02/2016 13:54

Ha ha! My bots post this all the time!

Have you seen the threads on money matters?

Crazypetlady · 05/02/2016 14:09

Do you want £200 worth of makeup for just £69...💁🏼 cause I've got it and help you too!🙋🏼

BakewellLass · 05/02/2016 14:16

I want to post a link to the "Ditch the Kids" video but I can't find it anywhere, sorry Confused

ALemonyPea · 05/02/2016 14:17

I have a FB friend who was very into juice+ last year. She had HUGE news that she'd be telling everyone about in three days, two days, one more day until the big reveal, then on the day, it was half price blackcurrant tablets. She pushed and pushed her products but had her inbox full constantly.

It all seemed to die down, and now she is spamming FB with her money saving tips and groups that can save you £££s and she has codes for xyz to save you even more and get food for free.

I do feel sorry for her, she has MH issues and, I think, very vulnerable and easily led by the people posting the same stuff on her walls.

Esmeismyhero · 05/02/2016 14:23

There's no eyeshadow police! Watch me!

BumpTheElephant · 05/02/2016 14:26

I have 4 Younique bots and a juice plus amongst my Facebook friends. They all post exactly the same stuff. The juiceplus one claims all her ailments have been cured and constantly goes on about "eating clean"
The Younique people claim to have an "amazing opportunity", claim they "get paid to take selfies and wear makeup" and a load of other bollocks. Oh and of course they have all "changed their lives" and they're all "smashing it".
I actually googled how much Younique presenters get paid because I wanted to know what hitting white/yellow means. They don't make very much and as far as I can tell what money they do make goes straight back into the company as they "treat themselves" to more overpriced make up. The respresentatives/presenters or whatever they're called are actually the biggest customers.

comedycentral · 05/02/2016 14:28

I can't tell if that woman is taking the piss or not! Grin

Esmeismyhero · 05/02/2016 14:29

Not that I have any makeup! I just think that tutorial was so funny

SocksRock · 05/02/2016 14:29

This one?!? GrinGrin

Esmeismyhero · 05/02/2016 14:29

She's the real deal!
