I think you guys have hit on an excellent point there about protecting facebook info. I have always had my friends list set so you can only view friends you have mutually. It is so easy to view a profile and find a mass of info about someone if that is what you wanted. It gives these vultures so much to be able to decide which angle to approach new victims from.

Very interesting reading the accounts of ex members. You guys are helping so much to spread the truth behind the methods these people go to so well done.

I don't think the following of bot pages on FB is stalking at all. It's an insight into how fake the whole game is. Especially when these people are called out time and time again on this thread and elsewhere. The high up bots must be worried. That is why they are blocking people and that is why FL have made these ridiculous threats.
If they were all completely kegit they'd be able to defend themselves and prove us all wrong and that would be the end of it.
But they can't because it's not legit and the whole business is based around lies and shills.
They have made themselves look more guilty than ever.

Banana - these threads are having a huge impact. If a top bot is literally blocking hundred of people purely based on the fact that they like the TV page they must be quaking.

I don't get this 'shut out/block/avoid negativity' approach. Criticism can be constructive, if taken on board it can be used to better a practice.

The fact that people are told to avoid anyone's cries of, let's face it, common sense then it highlights how understand it all is.

And we all know that Timeless Vie has hundreds more followers who can't like for fear of a known bot seeing it! It's huge and will continue to grow, the more it grows the less FL grows. It's just win/win.

I too have been blocked by CS. The only reason I can fathom is that I liked Timeless Vie on Facebook. Considering Tv has over 700 likes,then that's a lot of people blocked from viewing her fb page. That must have kept her super busy last night.
Why block us all though? surely if you have nothing to hide you would be like "bring it on!" If you constantly put yourself out on Facebook bragging about your job and your lifestyle then you have to expect to get some critique. You are simply just not living in the Real world if you refuse to accept any critism at all!

You said it. Smile

SmellyHead · 01/02/2016 00:20

Blocking all those people seems a very negative act. All that sweaty-palmed clicking Shock

How will she be able to look herself in the eye after that?

lastuseraccount123 · 01/02/2016 01:06

heh. she can delete all she wants, silly coo. we have spies a plenty who still keep us updated.

Seems to be a lot of bots switching to Ariix. Is there something going on within forever that we don't know about?

DollyTwat · 01/02/2016 02:57

Run out of people to sell Aloe to probably!

lastuseraccount123 · 01/02/2016 04:12

hmm, it looks like Ariix is some kind of super-MLM that sucks in other MLMs and combines products/paylines etc. As always, if you get in early you are top of the MLM exploitation chain and stand to make the most money.

oh, and surprise-surprise. "Dr" Fred Cooper (founder of Ariix) is from Utah and is probably mormon too. All his education was in Utah. He was employed by an MLM and then went to start his own.

gimlet "Seems to be a lot of bots switching to Ariix. Is there something going on within forever that we don't know about?"
I would imagine FL has run its course. So let's start another (and of course we start at the "top" of the pyramid. Also those hooked by FL and not succeeding will be ripe for the bait-and-switch hook of a new MLM.

rayofhope · 01/02/2016 08:55

You couldn't pay me enough to join another mlm scheme

Oh no wait maybe if I join now I'll be in at the top?

Mootpointer · 01/02/2016 09:00

rudechoob great find. Same old same old then.

Mootpointer · 01/02/2016 09:03

Ariix must be very appealing to a lot of the bots (especially those that aren't doing that well in FL). The idea of getting involved very early on and therefore securing a place near the top of the pyramid inverted funnel.

Wadingthroughsoup · 01/02/2016 09:11

Those who said that EC is branching out into Ariix- just wondering how you know? (Would like to go and have a nose at anything relevant!)

NorbertDentressangle · 01/02/2016 09:14

I had a quick look at the Ariix website.

It really is the same old bollocks isn't it?

For example, take one of the weight loss products - they say to take it alongside a daily calorie intake of 1200 calories in order to lose weight (er, so that will be the 1200 calories that any diet advises you to have in order to lose weight then!).

The only extra pounds you gain to lose by buying their products are the £££ variety.

In all the years I've been looking at 'MLM' cultic rackets, 'Arrix' (and 'USANA' from which 'Ariix' emerged ) are two of the weirdest and most disturbing.

'Mormon' goes without saying, but there are also 'Scientologists' involved in 'Ariix,' and 'Scientology/Dianetics' brainwashing courses have been pushed onto 'Arriix' Bots by some shill Bots.

In this video link, the grandiose MLM world economic domination claims being made by the 'Ariix' shill Bots and their creepy (beyond-wooden) performances, are indicative of megalomania.

This video-link of 'USANA' shill Bots performing a kitsch musical version of the 'MLM' fairy story in front of thousands of deluded and adoring Bots (in 2011), takes the cultic cringe-factor to an unprecedented height.
