Ah littlemiss

AJF, thats made me laugh. The no floride in FL expensive toothpaste is a debate indeed. Even FL tell you to use it along side your normal everyday toothpaste. Whats the use of that, buying that expensive shite to still use floride toothpaste? My Grandsons dentist has told his mum to use the adult toothpaste as there is not enough floride in the kids toothpaste, and he is only 2. I would rather listen to a professional who knows what he is talking about, instead of a flbot, who has zero knowledge, but each to their own I surpose. Hmm

I just went shopping in my local shop (I'm in Germany) and found some propolis capsules that FL sells for a fortune, on the shelf at Real they are €2.99, feel like taking a picture and posting it on bot's wall and asking why there's are so expensive

AJFsmummy · 21/10/2015 17:36

Oh popcorn you will just get the speal of "thats because are propolis is gathered by virgin nuns of the honaloulou islands and its brought to the factory via a thoroughbred stallion then flown over by a wikkawamzipzop"

I usually just lerk (and laugh) on this thread but I thought of you all today when I asked my youniquer how much she actually earned and what the hourly rate was on when of her recruiting posts. She ignored me Shock but the Huns were flying freely with all those who wanted to sign up

I saw that link mobius.
Interesting statement she made at circa 10 mins in, that if someone says to her 'I'll give it my all for 12 months and see if it's working out' her response is 'don't bother, you've got to be prepared to give it as long as it takes.'
I bet forever love her attitude, sinking money in year after year hoping riches are just around the corner.

Even Halfords are getting in on the act - my local branch has Aloe Vera juice (with aloe pieces in, urrrr) for the bargain price of £1.29 or £2 for 2!

ForeverLivingMyArse · 21/10/2015 22:52

Halfords?!

AJFsmummy · 21/10/2015 22:55

I brought an aloe plant to go in our waiting room.......£1.25 from ikea. I might use it for a new company set up....and call it "eternal deceit".

AJFsmummy · 21/10/2015 22:56

Halfords? Oh B&Q will be selling Aloe vera paint next.

Love this thread - thought this may be of interest www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/fraudster-boasted-internet-millionaire--6680094

AJFsmummy · 22/10/2015 08:44

Sounds familiar jase ;)

LittleMissStubborn · 22/10/2015 12:28

I was going to mention that news story. The local newspaper website has a bit more and talks about the legalities of pyramid schemes. I have no idea how the likes of FL, JP etc don't meet this criteria. I know there is a product but it is secondary to the recruitment of others into the scheme.

acatcalledjohn · 22/10/2015 17:22

FL-bot currently tugging on heart strings of anyone trying to sell her deodorant stick. It Angry & Envy me that they use cancer as a fucking sales tactic. No other product feels the need to do that.

Oh, and she is again recruiting saying that this time next year she'll be doing this full time.

Del Boy said something similar on a regular basis, didn't he... Hmm

LittleMissStubborn · 22/10/2015 19:02

I've got a JP bot spamming a selling group with the usual before and after photos. One is obviously photo shopped, the other, if genuine, is only achievable after surgery due to the amount of skin overhang. She Nevers says what it is though, just inbox me. I am debating whether to engage her.

CheekySmile · 22/10/2015 19:35

My bot is claiming now that FL fits around your existing commitments 'like cling-film'. I desperately want to comment that she sounds like she's being suffocated...

Acatcalledjohn** I think you might be onto something there with the delboy reference, I'm going to type the Rodney millionaire quote every time a bot refers to their earning being huge next year.

Annie65 · 22/10/2015 19:54

Wait for it guys. FL are doing a "Festive Facebook Tab" apparently they can tag and share all their friends on it, giving ideas for Christmas gifts. Oh I cant wait !!!!!! Wink

Tupperwarelid · 22/10/2015 22:05

My Younique bot is a fellow school Mum who seems to be working more days at her non Younique job now her youngest daughter has started school. She turned up today with the most obvious blusher/red stipes on her cheeks. It didn't inspire me at all.

acatcalledjohn · 22/10/2015 22:12

Cling film. Excellent! We can draft a response to that:

Like cling film? The stuff which always does the opposite of what you want it to, clings to everything it shouldn't, and sends you in to a humdinger of a fit of rage every time you try to use it?

Then sit back and relax. Maybe microwave some popcorn.

acatcalledjohn · 22/10/2015 22:27

You could just comment linking to , bunched.
