Just catching up properly. Norbert good to have you back, welcome synthetics and averagebear and to everyone else old, new, posting and lurking! Toobusy I love Bot Watch! Socks your bizarre encounter is funny. More so because you predicted it! I think that'll make its way to TV. Last that sounds a great idea for a blog.

SocksRock · 13/01/2016 22:55

I would have been like a lamb to the slaughter without you lot.

As it happens, I do need to make some more money, I'm a SAHM at the moment and while we can pay the bills, obviously a bit extra is always nice. I'd not heard of MLM before this - hopefully DH would have saved me though, he is incredibly grumpy and opinionated sceptical... I can see how I would have fallen for it, which is a little embarrassing.

So there you go. One genuine, bona fide, victim saved due to Timeless Vie :-)

lastuseraccount123 · 13/01/2016 22:59

Grin that makes it all worth it.

as i've said before, this is a team effort. it's all of us working together and contributing ideas that makes bot-watching soooo aweeesum

chloe obrien on facebook trying to pedal poonique wares. and has a beautiful pic on her page of the new poonique HQ currently being built

M0biusgeek · 13/01/2016 23:09

Yay for TV!

Also I actually lolled at touching cloth toobusy
Excellent work with Botwatch.

I have a kingpin bot in my town, sweeping up all the people I previously credited with some sense. This person even featured in a recent fl magazine and is going full throttle so I might have to call on you to help take her down as she took my close friend Angry who has since fallen into all of the stereotypical bot scenarios we know of because they basically bum eachother since becoming a 'team' Angry

We don't talk about 'the business' when we are together but we are still close. It's just the elephant in he room and I detest it to my very bones for that reason .. as well as all the rest of the stuff uncovered since reading most of eyes stuff and all of the mn threads! Grrrrr
You guys are my salvation really!!

I'm not bad with a bit of photoshop manipulation so inbox me if there's anything u may need making to emphasise a post or whatever. I'd like to think it's my small contribution to the greater good.

lastuseraccount123 · 13/01/2016 23:12

ooh mobius I may just take you up on that! thanks!

who is the kingpin bot, may I ask? is he/she on the FB?

Fab Job TooBusy!

Would you please post the herbal life survivors video on here?

Siwi · 13/01/2016 23:34

From the hl survivors video:

'It's like playing a slot machine' (sunk cost fallacy)
'It was like an addiction'
'It's like a cult; you get in. Some people don't get out.'

All kinds of rage over that!

Will aloe stop the allergic response? The repeated chest infections from poorly controlled asthma? Stop you from fecking dying!??Angry

Ginormarse · 14/01/2016 07:00

I have been reading this thread with interest. I too have Facebook friends who have been brainwashed and become FLbots. They are friends with glossy CS who has been mentioned earlier and constantly posts selfies of herself in gym kit, and of her amazing training seminars you could attend to learn about how you could earn a six figure income.
I have been stalking various FLbots on Facebook and noticed yesterday evening a number of posts showing them holding up birthday cards or Xmas cards from someone high up in FLiving. Do they have someone from very high up in the hierarchy who tells them what to post on Facebook?

sparkly72 I am very concerned about the post on Facebook you linked to. I am a GP and telling people that you can recommend something that doesn't have side effects like asthma inhalers is insane and very dangerous. I would be interested to see if the post is still on Facebook and if it is I would be more than happy to post and comment. I will continue to follow this thread.

Toobusytowee · 14/01/2016 07:04

Sparkly, please can you PM me the name of the asthma bot? She needs to be told she is endangering people.

MrGrumpy01 · 14/01/2016 07:05

I have just had a really quick scan of that article. In actual fact it is saying that GPs aren't prescribing correctly not that there is anything inherently wrong with the inhalers. She is using a headline to draw her own wrong conclusions and then make horrendous claims.

Very very dangerous.

stopfaffing · 14/01/2016 07:33

Just seen this thread from someone called sarah f, on the nethuns site.

Bears out exactly what we know to be true.

Crazybaglady · 14/01/2016 07:34

Name the bot! That post needs reporting Angry

dreich · 14/01/2016 07:40

What happened to the timelessvie post on MrsGloss&theGoss? Did it all kick off.

Sairelou · 14/01/2016 07:42

I am actually ShockAngry at that asthma post. She needs reporting.

BoGrainger · 14/01/2016 07:50

There's a couple of sad messages on the nethuns linkSad Hope they haven't gotten in too deep and can walk away with only a small loss. I hate the responses that say keep going or imply you're not working hard enough.

Melaw21 · 14/01/2016 08:45

Just want to say hello folks! Been lurking and decided to brave it!

This nonsense is rife in my small village! seen JP, body by Vi and FL bots on my fb in the last yr alone, also just yesterday spotted an arbonne flyer at my local co-op!!! Shock
These scams need stopping!!!

I was on the timeless vie glossy thread but I asked a couple of questions that didnt go down too well with bot and bot got upset with me (boooooo... 👎) also Bot made some quite insulting statements about childcare which she was called out on. Bot did not like it and things kicked off! Eek!

Hello anyway guys and gals! Keep up the great work! Happy to assist!

Siwi · 14/01/2016 08:59

Ginormarse,
As a GP,
What would you say if a patient ACTULLY FOLLOWED the advice from the FL company handbook and 'consulted their Dr) before using any of the fl products?

I am thinking of:

  1. Aloe gel (drunk daily)
  2. Clean 9
  3. FIT 1

Great to have you aboard.
I hope that the pp who spent five years studying herbal medicine is still around.

Poor woman must be feeling pretty silly wasting all those years when she could be a manager in a few months for the mere cost of a few grand and her friends.

Melaw21 · 14/01/2016 09:15

Oh and look what I found on the jp fb page! Think our #viestars could really benefit! Looks like a great piece of literature! 👍😉
