*I am frequently asked Why Forever, well apart from the incredible Health Benefits these Amazing Products have brought to my life, I found that I wanted to be able to offer Solutions for other people and their Health too.

I am no longer taking any Prescribed Medications, after over 32 years and I truly feel the healthiest I have done since I can't remember.

These Solutions for my Health, made me look seriously at the Incredible Business opportunity too.

If you want to know more, take the time to watch the Video below and message me.*

Again, the implication the aloe vera will cure you of all that ails you.

My Herbalife bot has mysteriously disappeared. According to my sources she's also put back on some of the weight she lost too...

I now have two FL bots and a juice plus. Two are fairly quiet after an initial spam of vague how awesome is this opportunity posts.

the other one has discovered she can spam us even more by having 'online event' evenings. I've discovered I can hide the event posts. Phew.

FLbot has started doing a monday product spotlight! cue lots of hints and tips for each product.

today its bee pollen and apparently it - prevents asthma, smooths skin, boosts energy and... 'Bee pollen stimulates and restores ovarian function'

hmmm...

Ragusa · 03/08/2015 20:59

I've got one who used to do Futility Warehouse, which at least sells something necessary but still with all the "working from the beach" bullshit.

Then she moved on to "business consultancy" and is now self-publishing opaque self-help books. With some snidey comments about how only dumb people are 'employed'. I can't block, It's too compelling ...

Ragusa · 03/08/2015 21:02

Maybe if the bee pollen was attached to a bee sting and it somehow came into direct contact with the ovary in question? That might bring about a bit of an ovarian stirring? It could be true, I tell you.

Mermaid36 · 03/08/2015 21:06

I like how they are so mysterious - can't tell you what the opportunity or product is - you must message/call them to find out....oooh, a secret!

Ragusa · 03/08/2015 21:19

It's just so....stoooopid. How many salespeople selling vaguely legitimate products do you know who actively go out and recruit their own competitors?! "Hey, I've got such a greeeeat product to sell; I'm making loooads; wanna come and take some of my finite market share?"

None? Nope, didn't think so ....

twirlypoo · 03/08/2015 21:26

Oh I love this! I have 2 forever living bots. Ironically (outing myself) I used to work with them both at an energy drinks company where they used to pedal the evil stuff like billyo!

tribpot · 03/08/2015 21:33

It must be tempting, given how frequently the FLbots post about drinking, to note 'perhaps you wouldn't need the world class detoxifying qualities of aloe if you weren't permanently pissed?'

bettyberry · 04/08/2015 06:59

tribpot off to post that on FB right now :D

Shakey1500 · 04/08/2015 07:12

What does bot mean/stand for?

I get the gist, have been messaged on FB as to whether I want to work from home from one woman (ignored) and another friend has started Forever Living...it's only a matter of time Smile

xenu1 · 04/08/2015 09:37

"Bot" stands for "robot" - a reference to the identikit patter pushed out by those unfortunates caught in the various MLM cults. There are some good threads on MLM/FL in MN Money Matters - for example:
www.mumsnet.com/Talk/legal_money_matters/2417524-FL-thread-2

(I have enjoyed this thread, too: give 'em hell! :)

An account by a woman whose DH is sucked into Amway...

Annie65 · 04/08/2015 10:55

My Flbot says shes going retire in 4 years, must be a really good pension fund, shes only 24 Wink

Mermaid36 · 04/08/2015 10:57

My bot is apparently paying for private school for both her children, as well as a new car this year and 2 holidays abroad.... who'd have thought it was so profitable....

happygirl87 · 04/08/2015 10:58

I don't have any bots Sad Why are my ailments not good enough to be cured with aloe?!

Minniemagoo · 04/08/2015 11:17

Have a 'friend' that does this, seems quite high up and its now her FT job with her Dh. They recently 'became' a proper company and now offer careers advice and motivational speaking too!

minniemagoo ask her to post her audited accounts up so we can all be wel jel. They're fast to tell you that they're earning zillions but surprisingly shy when it comes to proving it Grin

tribpot · 04/08/2015 14:10

Not to mention telling the tax man about their vast salaries!

suzanneyeswecan · 04/08/2015 15:53

I dont think any of these bots have to worry about the tax man, none of them really earn enough to pay any tax :o

AskingForAPal · 04/08/2015 16:07

"This company literally has changed our lives beyond recognition and the only way that I have been able to do this is to help as many other people as I can change theirs too......"

Well that's kind of the thing with a pyramid scheme isn't it?

suzanneyeswecan · 04/08/2015 16:18

This company literally has changed our lives beyond recognition
does she mean that in a sort of 'FUBAR' sense Shock

PandaMummyofOne · 04/08/2015 16:32

Can I join in? My ex based purely on selling FL shite best friend, just started her 'business' and put all over Facebook her rank it tasted and that she couldn't believe people actually bought it.

She's atrocious not very good at selling anything.

Mermaid36 · 04/08/2015 17:39

#foreverfamily #dreamscometrue #lovemylife

Bleurgh......

lastuseraccount123 · 04/08/2015 17:42

so, the BS photos are STILL up and no sign of anyone being fired from FL for making bogus claims.

Pondering whether I should send a follow-up email to FL compliance pointing that out.
