To think this is a new MLM low

[Sunshinesusan67]

I have an acquaintance who has recently been sucked in to the murky world of MLM. She now posts lots of daily inspirational quotes, lies about her income and has an army of huns egging her on.

But today I've seen something so ridiculous it's unreal. She's posted a photo of a well known celeb 'holding' her products saying "look, even * thinks Juice Plus is amazing". The products are so badly photoshopped on its embarrassing.

Why do people lie like this? It's one thing to get suckered in but to openly lie to others and try and drag them down the same path is actually really annoying to watch. I am going to unfollow. But aibu to hope someone calls this blatant lie out?

Just after my daughter died, literally just hours after, a neighbour came over and offered her condolences and asked what happened.

I told her my sweet girl was born with an, as yet undiagnosed, genetic condition.

This utter cunt then told me that if I had taken X product it wouldn't have happened and that, since she sympathised with me, she would give me a discount but that I had to take it daily or it could happen to my next child.

I cant say I was proud to have smacked her in the face, but I did. She never tried to sell me her fucking shite products and false claims again.

She did, however, attend a group for parents of children who have autism and told them she could cure that too, it just wasn't advertised because autism makes the government loads of money

She 100% deserved that smack in the face

I have a few 'reps' on Facebook. They seem nice enough and they haven't ever messaged me asking to buy their stuff but I've noticed they all put up progress photos of their weight loss and claim its juice plus thats done it. I find it quite sad that they do this as the weight they have all lost is impressive and obviously down to a lot of hard work and healthy eating yet they sit back and don't take the credit for it and claim juice plus done it 🤷🏻‍♀️

pivotpivot isn't it bizarre, that handing over all credit to a product that had nothing to do with their achievement for the promise of a bit of cash that probably never really materislises?

I know (only on FB these days) a woman who went from a size 20-something to a 6-8 about 5 years ago (according to her captions). It must've taken real grit and she's kept it off. She looks great.

She is now, some time after the fact, claiming that one of these diet drinks is responsible so they are getting the benefit of her before and after pics when I don't even know if it was around at the time. There's no way I would give a company that kind of credit for my own work and she doesn't look to be coining it in which suggests that it is quite vulnerable people who get sucked in and are willing to say anything.
