Recently an acquaintance emailed me to ask if I could 'help' her by trying a few products and giving her some feedback. Being the nice person I am I agreed. When the bag of samples turned up the penny dropped and i realised that she's trying to sell them to me (I'm naive I know!). I thought id just buy a little bubble bath. Its fucking 14 quid! No way. I'm sending the bag back and pleading eczema. Does this whole company operate by guilting friends and family into purchasing crap quality at ridic prices?

lazycoo Shock Grin

My FLBot has just been promoted to Eagle Manager #becauseshesoars Can anyone beat that?

ps - Bob is the CEO, y'know like the Hugh Hefner of FL Hmm

(incidentally my original FLBot is sacking it already, turns out she has seen through it and my aunty, cousin and DM are fecking furious with her after spending £££££ on the shite to 'help her on her journey'. I am sitting back and watching the fall out - it has caused a massive family bicker fest - hilarious, more so now that i know she is out of the woods! Smile)

lazycoo - When I've received scripted-comments from indignant FLbots I've tended to send them links to this smashing movie?

"She believed she could, so she did"

Ugh. I wonder, do they have a quick reference inspirational quotes randomiser or something?!

lazycoo · 01/07/2015 18:45

marthas great news she is out of it but yeah she leaves more victims in her wake. Is it all being played out in public? Shock

GUESS WHAT

From my flbot:

To start the month off with a bang our C9 is now retailing at only £108!!!!

only 100 pounds for a 'cleanse' and some aloe vera shitescreen.

BARGAIN

NorbertDentressangle · 01/07/2015 19:49

lastuseraccount123 - yes to the "Sonya" make-up suddenly appearing. It appeared today in a photo on my FLbot's page. No reference to it yet but I'm sure it's only a matter of time.

lastuseraccount123 · 01/07/2015 19:50

Interesting - from the FL London Fb page:

8Recruiting new team members (2 business builders every month) is a fundamental part of the plan, in fact the plan cannot work if you we not recruit consistently. So, the training session was all about helping the team members to make that happen and how to approach recruiting as well as some methods that we can learn, apply, master and become an unstoppable recruiting machine!*

suuuure, it's all about selling the products. sure it is.

See that might be worth reporting perhaps? Should be flagged up to someone? The guardian?!

"Take it offline as soon as possible" - certainly explains why whenever anyone asks my FLbots how much a certain product is, they say "I'll PM you" rather than just tell them the fucking price...

lastuseraccount123 · 01/07/2015 20:24

yup, interesting eh? the whole thing is so opaque.

lastuseraccount123 · 01/07/2015 20:24

I'll take some more screenshots and save them until I can upload again.

throwingpebbles · 01/07/2015 20:25

Fascinating Shock

Jossysgiants · 01/07/2015 20:33

Very interesting lastuseraccount . My FLFBbot follows this to the letter. I feel sad about it- she used to be very down to earth but now seems totally insincere. You can't trust her to be acting in any way other than the way the Borg dictates. You suspect every FB like or comment to have an agenda.

It's so dangerous because many people just perceive MLM as a harmless way to earn a bit of extra cash. It's like hiding in plain sight.

Eyespying · 01/07/2015 20:48

NB: This is not a piece of satire, it's a real 'FLP' motivation video from India.

MarthasHarbour · 01/07/2015 20:52

I notice they use a picture of Alan Sugar in the boardroom on their presentations. Lord S would be fuming if he found out - this is soooo not his bag Angry
