acatcalledjohn sorry for seeming thick but what does all that stand for? I'm assuming the first bit is f-off

BOtwatchers - can you try uploading screenshots with parts of the names blurred? it may help stop MNHQ deleting the good shit. Alternatively PM them to TV so we can giggle wildly.

As always, welcome to all lurkers and newbs. We couldn't do it without you.

More fun posts planned for TV. Stay tuned! evil laugh

HI FOrever living lawyers! waves

btw we should hit 14,000 views on blog in a few days or so. I really have to thank FL again for throwing all their toys out of the pram. apparently they are claiming we are harrassing their bots with our meanness. or something.

lastuseraccount123 · 02/02/2016 16:12

i mean, never mind the way their bots guilt-trip other mums, tell ginormous porkies about their lives, and promise amazing earning potential in an effort to bring more people into their downline. oh, THAT's fine. Pointing it out in public? Notsomuch.

lastuseraccount123 · 02/02/2016 16:13

seriously, these fuckers. U SUCK

throwingpebbles · 02/02/2016 16:17

Quite last if they try and take legal action I would just be inclined to round up lots of ex-bots and encourage them to take group action against FL for fraud etc. quite a lot of law firms have great success in funding and fighting group actions like these. I can think of several that would be very interested and wouldn't seek funds up front

And the media would definitely sit up and pay attention then ...

lastuseraccount123 · 02/02/2016 16:17

who wants to bed they now do posts about how they are just trying to build other mums up? rolleyes

lastuseraccount123 · 02/02/2016 16:18

ooh throwing I like the way you think

Eyespying · 02/02/2016 16:27

lastuseraccount123 Here's a link I just found in my spam file, with even more f Bots to swear at:

'Cashbots.'

This is your plain old-fashioned money circulation scheme pyramid scam, without the bother of those pesky products to launder the unlawful payments.

Notice how the 'MLM' jargon is still there: 'Sponsor', 'Upline', 'Downline,' etc.

Oh my god, something big just happened to me right now.
I had to come straight here to say.
I'm actually shaking and need to sit down.

I just saw an flp range rover. And I mean one for real, not in a fb post or from the magazine.
I never saw one while I was in flp, that's why this moment is special.
I wanted to get close so I could touch it but didn't want to look like a stalker.
I know you may all be slightly envious. Your time will come though.

Anyway, I'll leave you to carry on. I feel amazing right now and want to embrace this moment of joy.

lastuseraccount123 · 02/02/2016 16:46

wow penny that is so amazing. did you feel like you could replace your entire income in just 10 hours of work around the kids, just by being near it? did you feel like taking a photo of yourself holding an ARGI+ bottle? Did you? DID YOU????

Eyespying · 02/02/2016 16:51

BTW, following on from yesterday's revelations about the former UK Shadow Business Minister being used to promote 'MLM' racketeering, I contacted the offices of more than one UK Shadow Minister today. I had a cosy little chat with some very astute individuals, one of whom observed that it all sounded very much like that weird lot that Tom Cruise is involved with.

In the past, when I began to complain about 'Amway' to certain UK MPs (and the 'Amway' mob got wind of this), the MP's offices were suddenly bombarded with poison pen letters trying to portray me as a puerile fantasist involved in a financial vendetta with my brother, an 'Amway Business Owner.'

Someone tried to get funding for a mlm on the american dragons den.

Someone also tried to pitch Lyoness on the canadian one. It starts at 25 mins in.

vimeo.com/66318039

An undercover report to expose Lyoness was done as well by the orf report. Its in Austrian but is available with english subtitles if you select cc at the bottom.

Nice to have you back last - I was starting to wonder whether you had headed over to Utah the dark side to turn selling #parslai into a shiney new actual pyramid scam MLM

Eyespying · 02/02/2016 16:59

Gimlet1984 The main 'Lyoness' Bot Watchers recovered this video and re-posted it after it mysteriously got withdraw. It has appeared on these threads before. When you watch this presentation you have to ask yourself how the f has this obvious fraud managed to succeed in escaping closure in several countries (including Norway, Austria and Australia) after being investigated by regulators?

throwingpebbles · 02/02/2016 17:00

(There was meant to be a smiley (and not a passive aggressive one!) at the end of that post by the way last Hun xxxx )!

Eyespying · 02/02/2016 17:01

Sorry Gimlet1984 I should have clicked on the video, I thought you'd posted something else.

throwingpebbles · 02/02/2016 17:02

I work every evening (pretty much) in my PJs. I can reliably report that it is not a particularly aspirational lifestyle!!

Eyespying · 02/02/2016 17:04

As you were Gimlet1984, I've now found the right section of the video in your link, which I first feared was missing

lastuseraccount123 · 02/02/2016 17:05

oh hun you could never upset me hun, xxxxx here have a parsley leaf, or as we say, cos we is from Utah and want to make it sound posh, leaf de parsley

penny1ane · 02/02/2016 17:05

Last, I didn't think of taking a pic. What an absolute waste of a perfect opportunity.
Well, it was local so I'm sure I'll see it again.
If not, I have the memories.

Gimlet1984 · 02/02/2016 17:05

Eyespying I wasn't aware they may have been posted before. I found the dragons dens ones on reddit under mlm. The Orr report was from a blog on lyoness. It's a good watch though.

lastuseraccount123 · 02/02/2016 17:06

de parslai, even though that phrase exists in no known language.

it's bot-lang innit
