It's happened....

[KnackeredHag]

AIBU to tell you that I have received a hun text from a friend I see sporadically, inviting me to join a Facebook Live or Zoom to find out about her exciting and amazing new business venture? She's earning more than her full time job role, can work around the kids and is #living her best life. It's something to do with aloe vera.

It's an attempted MLM ambush isn't it? I've not replied yet.

‘Fuck right off you daft bint 😂’

This is the only way I would reply

You’re my kind of woman.

OP, or you could send her back an enthusiastic message about how you’ve just found Jesus,, and are dying to share the gospel with her via Zoom, so she can #live her best life in God. Tell her you’re booking an extra-long slot, because — slight shriek of girlish happiness — there’s just so much to say!

Love it, @SackofTurtles.

I got inundated with Facebook messages from my child’s maths tutor of all people who signed up for this shite. I politely ignored (and was very that she thought it was appropriate to start messaging tutoring clients) but she messaged several times and then started leaving voice messages. I blocked her and no longer use her as a maths tutor so gonna say that little venture isn’t really a money spinner!

She needs to be careful. She’s got your data via her tutoring business and it’s a GDPR breach to use that data for other purposes. Perhaps she’s shared your data with FLP? With her upline?

It’s actually a real problem among MLM companies and their reps. They don’t have the first clue about GDPR but all businesses and sole traders have to pay attention to this by law.

There was one FLP upline who put a picture up on Insta of her sitting at her laptop and on the screen the private details of all her downlines (full name, mobile, address) visible to see. All these people should register their businesses with the ICO if they are holding personal information about clients or customers. Your ex-maths tutor should know this!

Haha my hun bot is now pedalling her 3rd mlm...having tried Yooooooonique and Acti Labs....shes now flogging Oriflame...you'd think she'd have worked out they are all a pile of steaming shit by now.

Sounds like her work mates need calling to lock her up for her own good!!

I hate MLMs as much as the next woman but I was given all my SIL's Pampered Chef stuff when she finally woke up and realised she'd been sold a pup and - although it pains me - it's really good stuff. I'd never have paid for it though - so expensive. They've gone bust now haven't they? Or given up.

I bought a rice cooker from a Pampered Chef party (I also won a fantastic lasagna dish), used both for years but now keto for five years and haven't used them since (they have been retired to the shed) .
