Continuing the discussion of the various network marketing schemes or multi-level marketing schemes (MLMs) that people we know are involved in.

If you have a bot of your own then join us and share what they are saying!

Or if you are researching a company before signing up to be a network marketer please take a look at the previous bot watch thread and also this thread which delves deeper into the workings of MLMs.

Dave O'Connor is the guy that EC recommends for brainwashing mindset training. She says she does his course every 12 weeks to 'keep focused'...

I wonder if she gets anything for promoting him?

Arbonne is running rife where I live. Makes me angry as one very lovely but very struggling LP has just been signed up by someone higher up the chain and it makes me sad. These are committed church goers too!

CheekySmile · 13/11/2015 10:20

Ok, for the benefit of TV I have signed up to one Dave O'Connor's webinar tonight to find out his secrets.

I may need an intervention to bring me back to reality afterwards!

"I wonder if she gets anything for promoting him?"

a castle perhaps??

cakeisntforsharing · 13/11/2015 11:56

Cheeky oooo let us know how it goes!!! If you come back spouting inspirational messages and talking about your mindset being in the best place we may have to stage an intervention Grin

My fl bot is off to a very important business lunch and can't wait for the amazing things that are about to happen to her business.

CheekySmile · 13/11/2015 12:02

Tired I could understand that living in the castle is a perk of promoting FL, which as a shill she does a lot.

But Dave O'Connor is nothing to do with FL directly, his 'training' applies to all MLMs. I just wonder if she gets a kickback or other 'perk' from signing up so many of her team to his training?

Hello friends! Thank you for letting me vent about my Arbot.

What is interesting is she came back to work after a slightly extended mat leave - you wouldn't know it from Facebook though. Never mentions she is back at her job -just makes it look like she is making trillions from Arbonne. Grrrrrr

AngelSparks · 13/11/2015 12:07

why oh why would you WANT to look like this?

Oh my gosh. Is that what we're supposed to want our eyelashes to look like?

MushroomMama · 13/11/2015 12:18

I have a actiderm bot!

Lots of hashtags and boasts of money galore £25 acti cash

And to top it off a long rantyish status about how a contracted job was crap and we should support her business if we were good friends to her

ClaraLane · 13/11/2015 12:27

Someone I (used to!) respect has become a FL bot and I was invited to her "aloe aloe" party tonight. Sadly I can't go because I don't want to. Some of her friends have expressed concerns about it and told her to make sure it wasn't a scam or a con but she's adamant it's all above board and is an amazing opportunity. Poor thing.

LadyHonoriaDedlock · 13/11/2015 12:35

OMG at scamming people and getting the jobcentre to pay for it!!

On a lighter note, Yooneekbots were going on about some event one of them had been to and said "did you see the Yooneek carved watermelon?"

I might carve a celeriac for TV.

I have a Utlity Warehouse bot who's always posting about the amazing opportunities UW give him, holidays, free meals out etc and how we can all have those opportunities too if we sign up as distributors. Although of course, the benefits are not why he does it. That's all for the love of saving people money. Obviously.

NoPowerInTheVerseCanStopMe · 13/11/2015 12:38

He's one of my oldest friends and I love him dearly, but my word is he full of bullshit!

SocksRock · 13/11/2015 12:46

Gosh if it's 2CC for recruiting you can understand why the pressure...

JustRosieHere · 13/11/2015 13:04

My FL bot is in overdrive trying to flog us her aloe shit as Christmas gifts. They are the least appealing smellies.

My youneeeek bot posts a lot of videos and she is a really nice person but she's not very good at doing make up. She coats on so much concealer and foundation which leaves her a lovely shade of orange.

acatcalledjohn · 13/11/2015 13:29

Very quickly as I am meant to be prepping for an ACTUAL business meeting...I have done some lunch time digging and found:

Natalie Heeley of FL fame, and David o'Connor bullshitter to the brainwashed bots share a company directorship for Pay it 4ward Limited, which is registered at the same address as Atlantean Enterprises Limited (The company behind the bullshitter). Equally, NH's Residual Wealth Management Limited is also registered at that same address, with her as the sole director.

EC's business won't show accounts until 2016 as the company was only founded at the start of this year.

So we can safely say that OF COURSE is David Martin o'Connor bullshitter to the brainwashed bots linked to FL. Indirectly, yes, though I would assume this is to avoid to be seen as the bullshitter that he is.

fast, hunni, can i be on ur team?

Autocorrect prefers 'bunnies' to 'hunni Grin

rayofhope · 13/11/2015 14:01

Stqueen, I joined FL a few years ago, but it's just not what it's all cracked up to be. I was put on a plan to make me Manager (a pivotal point in the plan) and had to contact 5 people per day. It was too much pressure for me and I got out. I hated the thought of having to contact people about it every day, I felt guilty about approaching people so clearly I'm just a terribly FLBot lol. I never really posted about it on fb either and I certainly didn't make out I was making loads of money when I wasn't and sacking my boss.

The plan is normally do 5cc per month, 1cc in retail/personal use and 4cc by recruiting 2 people per month and teach everyone in your team to do the same.

xenu1 · 13/11/2015 14:11

rayofhope, again many thx for input.

4cc by recruiting 2 people per month and teach everyone in your team > to do the same.

Even if you had successfully followed the plan you would be out by December 2017. (The'res only 64million people in the UK and you'd run out at 26 months - 2^26 = 67,108. 864 :))

lastuseraccount123 · 13/11/2015 15:36

acat any chance you could screenshot that info? thinking of doing a post on the website.

Tupperwarelid · 13/11/2015 16:00

I thought I read somewhere they aren't supposed to do this and link to a charity?
