Anyone feel like shouting at her, 'but you don't get sick pay!'

Rudechoob · 24/01/2016 09:35

Pmsl, any single opportunity to try and coax people in....

Ugh ok, my bot admitted to me she does things like coffee shops or restaurants and prey on tired, busy waitresses...

She will say something like..."gosh you look tired busy day? Are you working this weekend too?! Do You have kids?! Wow you do? That must be hard not spending Time with them?! I bet your on minimum wage too"

Then she will hand them her card when leaving a tip.....

I've just posted a brief article introducing the major British 'FLP' wistleblower, Craig Morgan - including a transcript of part of his testimony to me. I've also added the same material to my main article on the 'FLP' racket.

Fascinating Eyes, look forward to hearing more!

I've been nosying at Seemore Green (Eric turner) on FB, formerly at the top of wake up now, now at the top of disrupt. I actually quite like him, he's like a no bullshit MLM-er eg. Calls them out on the lies, takes the piss out of the way they behave etc. I'm finding him quite entertaining!

darceybussell - What do think is the motive behind this latest no-bullshit bullshit?

Is the author of the 'Eric Turner' FB page someone pretending to be the 'MLM' bullshitter, formerly known as 'Seemore Green?'

Eyespying · 24/01/2016 11:50

It's difficult to know what to believe, but I wouldn't trust Mr. Turner as far as I could throw him.

darceybussell · 24/01/2016 12:16

Yes it could be someone pretending to be him, but he is still promoting disrupt so I suspect it is him. He is probably trying to attract disillusioned people from other MLMs - he's still a charlatan but i think it's quite funny that he is being honest about being a charlatan!

Eyespying · 24/01/2016 12:23

I think you are right.

Shades of Sir James Savile?

The best way to avoid being investigated as a pervert, is to dress like a pervert and make jokes about perverts.

Gimlet1984 · 24/01/2016 13:52

Quite humorous reviews of the clean 9. I couldn't help but laugh when the first guy described the shake as tasting like nutty shit. The second chap says it made him extremely ill with a funny announcement at the end.

M0biusgeek · 24/01/2016 14:09

those videos are hilarious gimlet - defo ones to share on TV

Siwi · 24/01/2016 14:36

Brilliant!

Also Nick Oldfield's video diaries.

He stopped on day 6 because he felt so awful.

'Right now I'm going for a curry and you can stuff your C9 right up your arse.'

Siwi · 24/01/2016 14:37

Oops!

Fintan · 24/01/2016 15:08

Err.. does anyone know what 'Tropic' is?
My FLbot appears to have gone over to that side as well! I don't know if this means she's disappointed in FL or if she'll be doing both.
I don't know why I can't just accept that the friendship is over.

Fintan · 24/01/2016 15:11

Wish we could edit our own posts on MN. Ok have now consulted Google and it seems that Tropic is a skincare line and Alan Sugar has some involvement.
How can my bot believe that FL skincare is the dog's, and now want to sell a different brand? hmmm...

Eyespying · 24/01/2016 15:13

Fintan - I presume this 'Tropic Skin Care,' a home-grown 'MLM' racket.

Gimlet1984 · 24/01/2016 15:20

It seems to be another Mlm similar to Amway and Forever Living. It's quite common for bots to move from one scheme to another if they feel that they are not progressing. It's also very hard to get your friends to leave once they are commited both mentally and financially. If you push too hard they will tell their upline who then step in to get rid of you because your being negative and taking away the uplines source of income. You are painted black and won't hear from them again. All you can do is hope they realise themselves that it's a scam and they come to find the blogs and information such as this thread to help them see the light.

GeordieBadger · 24/01/2016 20:46

Here's a great one:

Thought of the day...
Whilst I'm very open minded and welcome feedback, I'm not that inclined to take "constructive" criticism from someone who hasn't constructed anything.
Last week, I went through the contact list on my phone and deleted the psychic vampires, dream stealers and toxic relationships that drain me of energy.
Like a tree it was time to let the dead leaves fall off.
I gave those people who don't appreciate my presence the gift of my absence.
I'm fortunate to have people in my life who will push me in exchange for being pushed, who will provide wise counsel, and who will tell me the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.
These are people who rather than put out my fire, seek to fan the flames, friends who don't tell me to reduce the size of my dreams, but instead tell me to grow my spirit.
Before any of them became rich and famous, Henry Ford used to meet with four of his friends every month to discuss their businesses and brainstorm ideas. This is what the "mastermind group" developed:
Henry Ford - cars and the modern assembly line.
Thomas Edison - the light bulb and the motion picture camera.
Harvey Firestone - made the first tyres for the Model T and then made a huge fortune off said tyres.
Alexis Carrel - Nobel prize-winning surgeon who figured out how to suture blood vessels and prevent infection during surgery.
Charles Lindbergh - Hot shot aviator and the first person to make a solo flight across the Atlantic Ocean. He also helped to design the Boeing 747.
These five friends regularly bounced ideas off each other.
Carrel and Lindbergh invented an artificial heart together.
Firestone helped get the Model T on the road, and Edison said that his friends helped him to shape his thinking and get him back to the drawing board after hundreds of his prototypes failed.
Five heads are clearly better than one. smile emoticon ‪#‎teambuilding‬ ‪#‎businessbuilding‬ ‪#‎morestuffihaverealised‬

sminkypink · 24/01/2016 20:55

I love it how they imply you're not 'open minded' if you don't fall for it. They live in opposite land.
And ugh, what the hell does MLM scamming have to do with Nobel prize winners. They really do believe like they are Jesus figures, here to save us from ourselves.
#Ugh, #Ugh, #Ugh.

GeordieBadger · 24/01/2016 20:55

And honestly, what s up with all the hash tags?? Here's another:

Lush seeing these girls at our business presentation last night 💜 showing people that they can make an extra income around their current commitments 🌟 #extraincome #workfromhome #loveit

And another (different bot):

I can't believe this!!! Wow
This afternoon I received confirmation for our FREE 5* all expenses paid HOLIDAY to South Africa and safari where I will pick up a chairmans bonus cheque.
This business is unreal...🙀😃 and absolutely anyone can do this...no experience needed just belief and the will to try....!! 😃👍🏼 ‪#‎pinchme‬ ‪#‎lifeexperience‬ ‪#‎familymemories‬ ‪#‎bucketlist‬ ✔

And, as for this one! (was accompanied by a pic of her with her children):

Back home after a fantastic weekend with friends learning how to make 2016 an amazing year!!! Finished off perfectly being back with my boys that's why I do what I do.....providing my boy with a life where he can fulfil his dreams!! ‪#‎family‬ ‪#‎happiness‬ ‪#‎friendships‬ ‪#‎businessbuilding‬

Some kind of 'business' (snort) presentation:

The room is silent !!!! ....sitting quietly and learning from Dave O'Connor. It's no coincidence why his book has just become the No1 best seller on Amazon! ....the perfect way to help thousands of people make 2016 a special year !!

MrGrumpy01 · 24/01/2016 21:06

It is actually quite sad (though I have no idea what a psychic vampire is) that it appears that they are actively encouraged to cut out anyone who is not in their 'business' out of their life.

DH and I have just had a long discussion about the negative aspects of my job -he isn't a dream stealer or anything like that, but a person with an opinion, who cares for me and can see how those negative aspects are impacting on me and those around me. It is a shame that those who express concerns are cut off like dead wood.

NorbertDentressangle · 24/01/2016 21:17

It is a shame that those who express concerns are cut off like dead wood

This is exactly why I'm worried about one of the latest victims I know.

I'm hoping she doesn't get too deep into it as (without wishing to be too identifiable) she is going to lose someone very close in the not too distant future (terminally ill).She is going to need her friends, those that care for her and her family, around her when that day comes.

I'm worried that FL will skew her perception of those that are there for her.

I also feel that she has been "targeted" as a victim by a ruthless bot and was truly gobsmacked when her fb feed showed the signs of her FL recruitment Sad. Honestly, if I were to outline what's going on in her life you would want to throttle the bot responsible.

GeordieBadger · 24/01/2016 21:53

Norbert so sad. My only experience is watching my single, unemployed mother-of-2 friend get sucked in. Aside from recently divorcing, she wasn't too "vulnerable". I thought she was intelligent though.

Teddy1970 · 24/01/2016 22:11

@GeordieBadger, Is that bot SERIOUSLY comparing these great people who invented and developed things that changed the world for the better with a two bit pyramid scheme? Deluded doesn't even come close..

Wadingthroughsoup · 24/01/2016 22:19

LOL @ FLbots comparing themselves to Nobel prizewinners 😂

Yes, they are such brilliant minds, such original thinkers.

As we all know, Edison, Ford et al spent a great deal of their time trying to recruit their friends to sell stuff. They were #livingthedream those industrialists.
