Remember the meme lastuser created a few weeks ago? Well, I posted it on FB in response to one of the many ads, and just found a message in my 'others' folder. It's fucking hilarious!

I have since added to my response that using a personal page for business purposes is against T&Cs.

These bots really are as thick as pig shit, aren't they?

GriefLeavesItsMark · 26/09/2015 14:24

Did the message come from a bot?

acatcalledjohn · 26/09/2015 14:37

Yup.

lazycoo · 26/09/2015 14:49

Good work cat! Good that TV openly admits to shilling your mates. Does that mean we are more ethical than FL...? Hard not to be I suppose!

Hello all, ive lost most of the day reading this thread Smile

Only came on because I've got someone trying to recruit me for Nucerity. Has anyone else heard of it? Our kids do a sports class together and I spent a weary half hour getting the spiel and her trying the overpriced utter shit products on me. It didn't exactly go well- the eye cream made me look like I'd done ten rounds with Mike Tyson, the 'super moisturising, anti-ageing, anti-septic oil that you can use anywhere' resolutely refused to be absorbed into my skin. And then there was the flagship product, Skincerity. This is a roll on thing you are supposed to put on at night. It contains vitamin e, grape oil, a couple of polymers, and acetone. Yep, that stuff you get in nail polish remover. 'It stings a bit ' she said. No shit. This wonder product is available to you for the knockdown price of just £70.
I can't believe she actually fell for any of this stuff. She's a science teacher FFS. And she's telling me in all seriousness that this shit can cure excema. I just hope she doesn't get too caught up in it.

Here's what one of my bots put up today. I wonder how much she had to pay to get paid...

Whoa, Tatty, she's seriously pee'd off isn't she Grin.

lastuseraccount123 · 26/09/2015 17:59

cat the fact they were threatening you with spam reportage shows you're making an impact.

btw, we've had some more post-hides on TV. A very small number, but it shows it's hitting home imo.

would love it if more people shared TV in response to their bots.

I think TV should parody that pic at some point. It's a sort of Loadsamoney for the 21st century isn't it? I'm so INCREDIBLY SUCCESSFUL that I DON'T NEED YOU LITTLE PEOPLE

As a sales technique .. mmm. Not the best, perhaps.

stopfaffing · 26/09/2015 19:33

Soooo loving the fb page :D

nappyoclock · 26/09/2015 19:35

Not my bot, but someone has just posted on our local fb selling site.

She wants to do all of her xmas shopping with other local small business owners i.e. candle people, avon and the like. Except she wont actually be giving you cold hard cash for what she's buying from you, she will be giving you 'credits' for her 'business'.

I think her business is yewneeeeeeeeeeeeeeek

PopcornFrenzy · 26/09/2015 19:41

Wow nappy, that's really bloody cheeky. I hope the other small businesses tell her to fuck off!

LittleMissStubborn · 26/09/2015 19:50

The probably think it is a good idea, after all they are all in the same game.

GriefLeavesItsMark · 26/09/2015 19:51

Actually that's a good idea. The could set up an alternative currency (the bot) and trade entirely amongst themselves. Then they could all afford new cars and holidays in Mexico.

CheekySmile · 26/09/2015 21:22

Video is ready, just uploading it to the FB page now!

CheekySmile · 26/09/2015 21:23

Ironically I had to ask DP to take the kids for an hour this afternoon as I was getting absorbed in doing it! #workingfromhomearoundthekidsishard

ladyvimes · 26/09/2015 21:43

I've been lurking on this thread for a couple of weeks and it's really made me laugh. A very good friend of mine has been inducted into the cult of forever living. I am horrified as she always seemed so intelligent and down-to-earth. She has now started a vlog!
I have a serious problem with these pyramid MLM schemes and really want to unfriend her on facebook, but I am too fascinated concerned!

I did laugh though when she ran a competition the other day and only two people entered.

LittleMissStubborn · 26/09/2015 21:44

I too always wonder how they manage to actually work with the kids around. Earlier this year I did some studying at home 2 days a week. Even with dh around it was really hard work as the smallest would still be seeking me out. I was grateful when she started afternoon school nursery.

lastuseraccount123 · 26/09/2015 22:26

hahahaha I heart that video so much!!!!

lastuseraccount123 · 26/09/2015 22:33

just a thought: would those of you reading this who watch MLM bots mind searching for Timeless Vie on google? I'm thinking if enough of us do it we could get it up the rankings a bit
