MLM bot watch - Continued discussion of the network marketing companies Forever Living, Herbal Life, Juice Plus etc as a pyramid scheme or scam

[CheekySmile]

Still 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 an MLM bot of your own then join us and share their claims and content.

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

And don't forget our very own MN MLM Timeless Vie!

Meant to say that I shared that NHS dermatologist's letter with another group where there are a few members who work for the NHS. It could be real, the informal language is possible if it's been dictated and then sent by a secretary. The only way to know for sure would be to call the hospital and check.

Its incredible how many shares Barnbot has had since she posted her journey.How many assumed she has bought this. It's incredible how little people understand isn't it? Think you're gonna need two years of accounts and a hefty deposit, so yeah, definitely rented.
I read on another bots page that Forever Living business owners apparently aren't subject to the same tax rules as other self employed people.

Surely a rental would still be pretty hefty though.

But it is ok at least the kids will live in a big house whilst you sacrifice your time with the kids to make FL work.

Thanks for sharing barnbot with us Pink, she is priceless! The barn is still up for rent on rightmove, might be a delay in taking it down I suppose, or it might all be made up rubbish

Found it. Can you tell Im bored?

Its Grantham, my sister in law lived there, its a cheap area. But yeah, slow handclap, fake it til you make it, reminds me of the Ambots with their second hand, clapped out Cadillacs.

On the estate agents website it says 'Under negotiation' -

Jury's out I suppose

The ad only went up on the 19th, quick off the mark with the photos from the viewing eh?
59 shares, FLbots sharing and saying she bought it and this is what FL can do for you.

17 requests for info about her business, how much will she rake in from this? Whats her comission on 17 x £200 starter packs?

it EC all over again .

Oh.....my......god.

I really do not know what to say.

Is she definitely renting?

She may not have even signed the contract, yet. Yes thats the same property, its a rental, it isnt for sale.

To give her her due she hasn't actually said she is buying. She has just left the implication hanging there.

Hi Sminky, the signup bonus as a manager is £64 pound for each person who buys the starter pack. In total she would get £1088 if they all joined which isn't bad from just a simple fabricated Facebook post.

She hasn't said that she is buying it but she will know by saying she is (if she definitely is) won't have the same impact.
The whole x factor sob story to go with it too. She certainly has done a good job at selling the dream.

Its quite sad though, she could have been a property owner. Sacked it off for a flash rental, take the kids out of school to an area they don't know in the back of beyond and a school they don't know, surely thats not a very wise idea? Have had my own small business 13 years now, in the beginning you keep your costs low as possible. You save for your tax bill incase it's big. You're new so you don't want any nasty suprises. You don't piss your turnover up the wall showing off to all and sundry. Business mentor? Social media meme and bullshit coach, more like.

I wonder if this kind of dupping could be a mumsnet campaign if the Women's Equality Party might be interested in it. It's essentially targeting women when they are at their most emotionally vulnerable and taking their money.

It makes me so mad.

Would Woman's Hour look at it I wonder?

Local Facebook pages are currently being bombarded with Kleeneze, actiderm and TLC teas. All the same shite memes about selling dreams.

Latest Kleeneze recruitment drive seems to be posting a cheque for £665 and boasting that this is earnings based on 4 weeks part time work. By the time you deduct costs and tax, that's a bit crap really. Deducting 25% and basing it on 20hrs per week that's only £6.24/hour and £8.32 based on 15 hours........you could get more per hour with a part time retail job.

forever oh, that sounds like a good idea. how can we go about that?

Dont think there's much point in outing them on their own page. You just get deleted. Its more important to screen grab things as you see them (I've got the estate agent ad) and perhaps stick them on the blog and promote that.

Green, that's the same one as Pink was talking about further up the thread, I commented on her as well.

I posted a few weeks ago that WH were asking for ideas for content.

Could some one send them a summary via Twitter?

Also You and Yours and More or Less.

Good morning and merry Christmas! I have another bot- this one has a degree in health psychology. She's peddling the clean 9 hard. I'm cringing.

Thanks for the shiny new thread!
