I've just noticed that someone I once recruited but left the business has started again. Maybe for another go at it.
I feel bad as she has just bought some products for a pupp box.
I think I will send her a link to these threads and apologise for signing her up.

stopfaffing · 18/01/2016 17:46

Interesting video, eye.

sminky, yes, she just made it up I expect.

At 11:48 she invites everyone to do the C9 together {grin].

stopfaffing · 18/01/2016 17:49

clean it might be this one.

Eyespying · 18/01/2016 18:15

stopfaffing What's also very interesting about the video is the fact that the 'FLP' bosses don't seem to care what evidence gets posted on the Net. It just goes to show that they know they have nothing to fear from British regulators or law enforcement agents

Since Ackman's intervention, there's no way that the bosses of the 'Herbalife' mob would allow a meeting like this to be filmed and posted on You-Tube.

That said, I don't know who filmed this 'Sizzle' or exactly why he/she posted it.

stopfaffing · 18/01/2016 18:49

eye it was mostly beyond boring. Most people would nod off half way through (it is 70 odd minutes long).

Yes, it surprises me too that FL management are not bothered by lies posted about medical benefits etc. But then again their Terms and Conditions say that they are not responsible for what their "business owners" actually say about the products benefits.

Eyespying · 18/01/2016 18:57

Stopfaffing It's classic thought-stopping 'MLM' ritual meeting. I only stood a few minutes of the video and then scanned through the rest.

Hi all
So I have skimmed through this thread and the other thread but I'm a bit confused ... Someone I work with started with Younique a while ago and her posts are getting more and more frequent (and more and more nauseating). She has recently posted about a cruise they are all going on?? Do they all genuinely get to go on a cruise? I don't want to ask and have her think I'm interested and she can recruit me!
She is also posting more and more shitty 'guess how many numbers are here, post your answers below' and 'how many balls can you spot' type "fun" posts. Do they get reviewed on how many Facebook hits they get or something? It's a little random as she never used to post stuff like that.

I will leave you with a little gem she recently posted
'We are all here for a reason. Stop being a prisoner of your past. Become an architect of your future' 😷

JuxtapositionRecords · 18/01/2016 19:10

Also, LOVING timeless Vie!

fastdaytears · 18/01/2016 19:11

Welcome Juxt but not going to thank you for posting that little nugget of wisdom which has made me a bit nauseous.

The holidays are all nonsense. I'm not sure if anyone's found anything much about the Younique cruises but generally the bots pay tons for extras making the free-ness nonsense

sparkleyes · 18/01/2016 19:14

That video is eye opening basically fake it till you make it and entrap all your friends!

She also says our friend CS is rough as you like!!

Well that doesn't come as a surprise!

BonjourMinou · 18/01/2016 19:21

Been reading these threads for ages, am a big fan of TV too. I have one Flbot friend who used to exhibit all the behaviour you are talking about, boasting on fb, exciting business meetings, lots of holidays etc but seems to have stopped doing it now. I'm wondering if she's given up and is just selling off old stock.

Also don't know if anyone has noticed, but in the comments section of the MN how to be more financially savvy in 2016 post on fb, half the comments are "easy! Work from home, be your own boss" #mumpreneur etc. just shows you how prevalent it really is.

Also the word mumpreneur makes me want to vomit Envy

As you were! Grin

DollyTwat · 18/01/2016 19:27

It's clever isn't it, you alienate most of your friends because you stalk them to sign up, but it's ok because you suddenly have lots of new friends who are as delusional as you.

I posted a link in a local business page where lots of bots post, and I've had a comment from someone everyone looks up to agreeing MLM's are a scam. So that's really encouraging

Patzy85 · 18/01/2016 19:41

Fastdaytears - Imagine losing all your friends just cos they didn't 'catch your vision'. (I suspect they cut her off and not the other way round!)

I also bet your new #foreverfriends won't give a crap about you when you're not in their downline anymore.

I have just been given the go-ahead to post the name of my major 'FLP' whistleblower. He is Craig Morgan-Jones the ex-husband of a deeply-deluded 'FLP' shill, Teresa Morgan Jones. Although both now use just the name Morgan.

trinitybleu · 18/01/2016 20:47

My FLbot was at the Motorcycle Museum over the weekend ... Assume that was the power training?

The Younique Mexico cruise - if you qualify (by selling product, there's no reward associated with recruiting) then you get yourself to the departure location but after that it's standard cruise format - accommodation and food provided. No training, no success rubbish - just fun activities, events and parties. Some cruises you also get a cash allowance which you can use for whatever you like - it's designed to help with airfare but you get it as cash in your bank so you can use it for whatever you like.

If you don't qualify for the cruise, there are other incentives like make up trunks and credit for products.

Thanks eye.

Thanks Eye!

As for not catching her vision, I don't want to catch it, just the same as I don't want to catch norovirus!
