so its about breaking people? Nice attitude!

Fintan · 29/01/2016 11:00

Zig, that sounds familiar!
My own bot had a successful corporate career. In addition she also had a small business on the side in health and beauty. She started with FL just retailing the products as add-on to her health and beauty business and it worked well for her for around 3 months. At that point she came under pressure from her upline, understandable due to the structure of the business, that's when she started to recruit.

WhirlwindHugs · 29/01/2016 11:34

Love the work guys!

Just catching up this morning, I saw on my fb this morning that a bot has recruited her daughter who will be off to Uni in September - how could you do that to your child?! Hopefully daughter will have realised it's a load of balls before she actually starts or she is going to have a horrible time trying to make friends/make money out of everyone she meets in new area.

The videos are fantastic, I put the subtitles on because I had the sound down and they aren't quite right - I guess YouTube auto writes them? I'm not sure if these are editable but might be a good idea if so, when vids autoplay on facebook they have the subtitles visible so a good way to pull people in and get people watching the whole thing. (Brilliant job on the videos, blog and fb - clearly ruffling feathers by telling the truth.)

The videos of their training day dancing are absolutely hilarious Grin

They look like they are genuinely possessed.. Dance! Dance! Dance til your rich!!! 😂

sminkypink · 29/01/2016 11:57

that Uganda news link you just posted is horrific, worcestersauce29

throwingpebbles · 29/01/2016 12:01

Oh gosh. That level of exploitation in Uganda has me angry beyond words. I don't even know where to begin! This is even bigger and more evil than I imagined

Teddy1970 · 29/01/2016 12:02

That's shocking worcestersauce29 it just goes to show that FL have no scruples or morals when it comes to poor third world countries.

Check out 'The Forever Story Telling Contest.'

At 7 minutes 35 secs - 9 minutes 40 secs

Here's how Bots have been programmed to write their stories.

At 10 minutes 30 secs -13 minutes

(be sure to check out the 'Pied Piper' cartoon image, top right, at 12 minutes 16 seconds)

cozietoesie · 29/01/2016 12:32

MLMs follow vulnerability and money, throwing. There are no boundaries to those.

Siwi · 29/01/2016 12:33

HOLY FUCKING SHIT Worcester!

( and I am not a sweaty person; I hate swearing)

They are exploiting people in developing nations!!!

Said people admit that they lost their money!
Lured by tales of riches!

PLEASE read Worcester's link.

I know that this thread I'd lighthearted and TimelessVie is just a joke but this one is serious.

How did you find it? Can you get in touch with the journalist? Have to go out now but back this evening to work out Ugandan shillings to sterling.

This is no longer funny. At all.

I agree siwi , the FL exploiting people in UK angers me, but this is something on a whole other level.

didntsaythemagicword · 29/01/2016 13:05

if you haven't seen GRAND ZERO yet, it has been around for a while.. also sums up most of our MLM concerns perfectly. Bots might too want to watch this one before they boast about the 'willable incomes' (LOLZ). It has won numerous awards and has a FB page etc.

didntsaythemagicword · 29/01/2016 13:05

also this Grin

Mootpointer · 29/01/2016 13:05

Exploitation Angry. Keep digging people!
Oh and this....

JL and setting goals. All insidious and aligned to The Secret and manifesting your desires. If you don't achieve, shame on you, you need to try harder!!

This image is a comment made by a lover of the products on the Bot Watch page.

Yeah, I guess they are worse things happening but you know what, not doing something about bad things (and this is bad) and letting them get worse makes me no better than those doing the bad things!

That's why I love this thread and everyone on here for being capable of critically thinking! When you see what is happening in Uganda you have to challenge the ethics of FL. Surely even EC in her shiny rented castle can see this is unacceptable.

That video (the standard 'stick the word myth/lies/scam in the title so people can't find the real factual ones so easily one) is a perfect example of the drivel they spout. Where was the evidence to back up her false claims?!

Even her aloe gel in stocked in the shape of a pyramid!!

At the end of the day, the simple fact that you have to get other people, mainly people you supposedly care about to part with LOTS of money just to find your dream is sad. There are better ways to make money.

BTW. The Ugandan journalist who posted the article back in 2013, was impossible to contact.

Today, no nation is too poor for 'MLM' mobs to steal from.

There are an increasing number of Micro-Finance Institutions ready to lend money to the poorest of the poor so that they can give it to 'MLM' racketeers start ther own 'MLM businesses.'

FLhahaha · 29/01/2016 13:20

Hmmm - we are clearly rattling some people as the thread title has been changed and lots of posts are being deleted. Has MNHQ contacted anyone about this? Anyone who has posted videos etc please make sure you have a copy!

throwingpebbles · 29/01/2016 13:26

I guess we should be grateful though. MN could have pulled the thread if they were ccowardly. The fact they are just editing it so as much as possible can stay is something I am grateful to them for!

Patzy85 · 29/01/2016 13:31

didntsay - excellent videos!

Patzy85 · 29/01/2016 13:37

How to do a product launch.

Tell me this didn't bore you to tears!
How can anyone get excited over this?
It's absolute bullshit nonsense.
