IC Definitely don't go near any of them. They'll suck you dry. Lovebombing figures highly in all these groups, part of their methodology to draw you in, feel wanted & valued( they view you as a potential cash cow) then pressure you to recruit, recruit, recruit.
Check out the other threads, tons of bloody useful info on here

Thanks Wading that is hilarious

Just found this gem on a bots page!

Quite insulting to all those employed financial experts out there! I would prefer it to say "never take advice from someone who peddles aloe for a living"

Haha! That's gold, that is!

TruckerHat · 02/02/2016 22:35

Delurking to join in. Found the discussion both fascinating and horrifying in equal measure.
I've got younique and jp bots on my FB and both post on FB their struggles with MH on FB and it's sad to see, especially the JP bot as she is struggling with employment and has two young children.
A few weeks ago I posted the nutritional values etc of juice plus on FB (the one that was on the other thread) and now I get a lot of posts like this.

They really are quite rude to everyone aren't they. I am quite surprised they manage to sign anyone up.

But I guess it comes back to how they measure success. And does success always = happiness.

MrGrumpy01 · 02/02/2016 22:38

Is that the same person? hard to tell as one is lying down upside down. I can see the tattoo but I am sure photshopping could come into play there.

Mootpointer · 02/02/2016 22:43

truckerhat glad you've unlurked. Yep targeting people with mental health challenges figures highly with recruitment. Bad bots Angry

TruckerHat · 02/02/2016 22:45

Allegedly it is. There was a similar one a few days ago saying the tattoos are proof that it's the same person. I'm not convinced

DayToDayShit · 02/02/2016 22:48

my JP bot has posted the exact same tattoo before and after pic.
Are they sent from the managers to everyone and they all have to post the same shit ?

TruckerHat · 02/02/2016 22:52

The worst part I found was that the day after she announced she was a JP "rep" she put up a ambiguous post which could be read that she personally had helped, via Jp, three women lose large amounts of weight. After one day.

lastuseraccount123 · 02/02/2016 22:55

u know how I said we'd break 14,000 views in a few days? I lied. We're already over 14k just today.

suck on that, aloefascists

lastuseraccount123 · 02/02/2016 22:57

after one day? Trucker that takes liarliarpantsonfire botlies to a new level!

MrGrumpy01 · 02/02/2016 22:58

Just googled 'before and after' a whole lot of breathing out and breathing in going on there, as well as leaning backwards vs standing up straight.

I am sure there is some weight loss, but the pictures really aren't that convincing.

throwingpebbles · 02/02/2016 23:04

last that's awesome news Hun # smashingit

Hardvard.

The Juice+ before/after pics are dubious, but the text in the post is worse. Cheapest form of diet? How about trying to eat less shite. Reduce your portion sizes. No fad, no shakes containing 1% dried strawberry next best thing to fruit & veg, no unsustainable weight loss.

The sheer level of stupidity still amazes me.

yeah but each tablet contains 27 fruits and vegs. And now they have 'smashed January, the team are taking orders for that beach body.

DayToDayShit · 02/02/2016 23:20

And don't forget the same tablets can help you lose weight but if you need to put on weight, they can do that too Hmm

MrGrumpy01 · 02/02/2016 23:22

I bet my body would get confused and add weight. Grin

sminkypink · 02/02/2016 23:22

to be honest that would be a tricky spot of shopping to get that tattoo looking the same on both photos - so it could well be the same person, she's not got a totally flat tummy, she's lying down and of course having a tan helps. They all seem to lose weight and gain a tan don't they? What we don't have proof of is whether she used JP to lose weight. But don't they all insist on a starvation diet alongside the magic beans/ powders/ drops?
