Mobu and Annie have really done their homework Star all round!

So they've made a very cheeky offer on the rent which has been accepted on a rolling 2 month contract?
Or FL is paying the rent as part of their 'incentives'?

What will be the excuse when they have to move back to their old house, I wonder..? Hashtag new adventures?

mobiusgeek · 06/10/2015 13:06

yup. i've read quite a few case studies and shills are pretty common. They often don't realise that's what they are though (probably like Emma) as they are so warped with all the mindset stuff.

Even when the bottom falls out of this castle rubbish, they might actually make some decent income with that Pro Planner. I have to admit the idea is genius. It's tailored to, and marketed at all network marketers (not just FL) as they all use the same model. it even has little spaces for innocent victims 'hot prospects' they intend to recruit and follow up with, current orders, party planning etc. and probably spaces so they can cut out and stick in little pictures of cars and castles on a goals page of some kind.

We all know what an endless churn of bots there are at the bottom of these ruthless schemes who will continue to lap this planner thing up until the end of time. Annoyed i didn't think of it myself haha

Funny how, if flogging the Party Planner is partly their business, they don't market it using direct marketing seeing as how much they believe in the model Grin

There's enough vacant property that they can probably keep this scam ruse going for a while - we'll live in your hard-to-move vacant property, get it a load of publicity (admittedly from jealous downliners who will never be able to afford it) and keep the myth of an FL lifestyle alive at the same time. It's win-win, basically the house version of the car.

mobiusgeek · 06/10/2015 13:15

dunno @sparechange. I'm wondering how they will justify moving too. They have openly admitted renting to 'test' living there though. they will probably spout some shit about it being too big. Who needs to 'test' whether they like living in a castle when the earn '45k' per month though? haha coughProfitisVanityTurnoverisSanityCough

my (FL) eagle eye (see what i did there?) also spotted a pic of their little kid in a room of the castle and some cushions in the bg had the union jack on. Even the cushions are the same ones as in the estate agents pics from march 2015.

mobiusgeek · 06/10/2015 13:18

oops wrong way around DUH

Turnover is Vanity PROFIT is sanity. i did that on purpose honest

maybe networkers look at it the wrong way around though! haha

sparechange · 06/10/2015 13:33

Mobiu, I think the throw on the chaise sofa is the same in the Rightmove pics and the 'look at me working from my dining table' pic as well!

AJFsmummy · 06/10/2015 13:38

I think its being paid by Fl to keep up the pretend lavish life to lure people in or she is a shill.

GriefLeavesItsMark · 06/10/2015 13:38

I don't understand her back story, she said she was a police officer for several years doing all the overtime she could get, but her monthly wage was only £1600 and, even though there were both working full time she was so hard up she had to struggle to find ,199.75 to buy the start up kit.

Does anyone have s link to the house she is selling?

LittleMissStubborn · 06/10/2015 13:46

There was a link on her fb page, not sure if it is still there though.

LittleMissStubborn · 06/10/2015 13:52

Its on her page rather than her 'business' page.

why do they all have such public pages?

AJFsmummy · 06/10/2015 14:17

So how long was she in her old place for?

GriefLeavesItsMark · 06/10/2015 14:24

Thanks for the link! On her business page does she say she used to work for a bank, bu I thought in her video she said she had only worked for the police force and was unqualified to work elsewhere.

Yes, I was wondering how long rmma had lived there.

mobiusgeek · 06/10/2015 14:26

if she did borrow 120k from mummy&daddy then it's highly unlikely she will have been struggling to pay the mortgage. She'll have been paying them back slowly instead, with payment breaks whenever. There's no way she was hard up, her house was decked out with Laura Ashley .. not to my taste tbh, not enough character inside or outside, but then again.. that's her all over, no? Grin. If she was struggling however, she clearly was good at covering it up with her expensive taste and range rover. That says it all too!

mobiusgeek · 06/10/2015 14:29

@sparechange .. look like it. I award you with a imaginary ForeverLiving Eagle Eye award. A few more of those gems and you can be promoted and have a 2% kudos rise ;-)

Twunk · 06/10/2015 15:28

I can only think that Emma's rent is a business let? As in, she's done the rental through a business. Then there won't be an assured short hold tenancy but a contractual one.

mobiusgeek · 06/10/2015 15:42

ooh yay i can add a couple of pics. This is one i nabbed off the pro planner page earlier. We can now see what a week in the life of a highlighter-happy bot looks like. I also see how the only empty column is 'new customers' and 'profits'. I laugh but weep internally for them at the same time.

SO.. we can see that the Monday-saturday workday at regular-bot level runs from 7am-8pm (whatever WDYKL is?) and comprises of:

0700: MINDSET. dailybrainwashing via Jafar

10:30-12:30 = 'prospecting' hanging around coffeeshops, charity events and supermarkets looking for prey

12:30-17:00 = 'messaging' inboxing & mithering everyone and anyone

17:00 - 20:00 = 'PUPP drops and training' mithering regular folk in person after they finish real work, then taking training from upline & mentors who have also been at work all day & hypocritically not sacked the day job!"

i've seen some bots even entertain people abroad & offering to send them samples. These prospects speak in very broken english (think creepy Fb ' Other inbox' randomers) and who probably haven't a clue what anything means, let alone what they are saying. Times must be hard!!

i also notice they are buying ads. Costly.

Another thing to add is that one of those putrid polyester FL cloths costs them about £25!!

I am completely fascinated by this madness (as you can tell!) lol

WDYKL = Who Do You Know List.
Wink

Tiredemma · 06/10/2015 16:01

Mobius is my new fave Mnetter. Lol@ 'mithering everyone'

Has anyone else noticed the distinct lack of 'likes' and 'comments' on FB when FLbots ( I have at least 8 of them on mine) make reference to something they are peddling or if they are sat 'working' in costa?

The silence from non-bots is deafening.

AJFsmummy · 06/10/2015 16:19

M/geek, I'm actually fascinated too.......my bot is constantly boasted about the past, the presence and what the future holds......zzzzzzz brag brag brag.

Well I actually have 3bots...... It distracts and entertains me for hours!

So the pro planner is a pester planner?

mobiusgeek · 06/10/2015 16:45

seems that way. it also has a scribble for a logo Grin i think that's supposed to be the brain of a Network Marketer.
