AIBU to be absolutely disgusted by the rise of MLM bots with
"I know many are going through tough financial times so I wanted to give you a shout about this amazing opportunity"

Fuck off! If you are MLM hun currently hiring "because you just want to help others who lost their job" and you are reading it, let me tell you that there is a special place in hell for you.

Does anyone know how to rid facebook of them? I don't know what to report it as so they are blocked not just from the group? These people should be blocked off facebook. Admins on some groups are great, but some groups are just way too busy. Bloodu hyenas and their diarhhoea coffee.

@StealthPolarBear was that foreigners? It's very common on mainland now. Some countries have them mandatory so people make their own and for medical staff too. They should use 100% cotton and do often make them quite "happy". Which I think is nice. Unless they sell them for more than 4.50each...

Ugh I've seen the handcream one loads too

Buy a load of shitty handcream and I will donate it to the NHS staff. I'm sure the NHS staff will be delighted 🙄

Fucking unbelievable. Local uni is now promoting the bloody Body shop £4 handcreams

I’ve seen Younique sellers saying they’ve bad an idea to make up ‘little pamper packs’ (ugh) for NHS staff including a little candle (Hmm) some other random shit and a ‘pampering face mask’. ‘If any ladies want to donate them I’ll make them up, the face mask is at no profit’ blah blah.

I don’t believe it, it’ll be to raise their presenter level or whatever shit that’s about, surely.

One of my local tropic huns has posted this

"CAN WE HELP THE HANDS AND BODIES THAT ARE HELPING US ?

Today, I have decided to send this message to my customers who I have contact with, or who at some point have ordered a gorgeous Tropic product from me to enjoy 😊

And to my friends and family members

In this world we are in right now, I would Like to give something back to the NHS staff on the icu units locally in xxxxx and Xxxxxx but also to the intensive care team my sister works in at the x hospital unit.

At this time my sister is working long shifts as an anaesthetics nurse in intensive care . She is exhausted .
One big thing is that the staff she have sore hands because of the soap and alcohol gel they have to use . 😬😢

Talking regularly to my sister and her explaining day to day life in these units has made me want to give these guys a treat. To give back in the one way I can . 🙏🏻

If we donated a parcel with some healing hand balm , some super food hand therapy or freshly made body pebbles and chemical free deodorants
It would make people very happy 😃

They would feel very special to receive these.
If anyone would like to send a donation, comment below and I will set up a donation link . A £1 donation would be amazing 😉

I wait in anticipation to see if we can make this happen and be able to give something back to these guys that need a little self care .

Take care of yourselves , stay at home and stay well . "

I'm going to email Tropic this morning to ask them how much profit they're making out of their reps desperate attempts to flog overpriced hand cream in support of the NHS. How dare they Angry

ThePawtriarchy · 06/04/2020 08:36

Ugh it’s horrible isn’t it. The same person I mentioned above did the whole ‘supporting little businesses’ crap as well on the same day. She’s getting lots of ‘oh what a lovely idea’ on the NHS post Hmm

GloGirl · 06/04/2020 08:52

Ive seen Body Shop and Avon. Ugh.

"Hi huns, I decided that i shouldn't message you due to covid 19 but then i realised, we're all boss babes who need a pamper and a treat at this time! I used 300 pounds worth of products last night and slept like a baby! Flowers Brew Biscuit Star Halo

Im totally paying for you to have these treats! And theyre 5% off i just think everyone deserves to feel gawjus"

Paraphrase.

It is all so puke worthy. I voted the wrong way by mistake, so here's a big YANBU, OP.

Tajiri · 15/04/2020 15:58

I work in ITU and staff whilst very grateful for donations are not impressed with these handcreams, bathbombs etc. Many are actually out of date (by several months) and I'm not using something on my sore and stressed skin that has no ingredients listed on it. That's not even taking into account the shady MLM side of things.

yorkshirecountrylass · 16/04/2020 16:04

Sorry if I've missed it but have just seen a Tropic-bot post that all profits are being donated to make hand sanitiser for the NHS. How? How are profits being donated and to who, does anyone know any way this could be feasible?
