CubicZirconiaBossyBabe - Thanks for the confirmation, I knew I'd not imagined that. The same guy is on FB.

There are various pro-'MLM' black propaganda sites attacking the same guy.

Ok so I have spent an hour going through some finances via companies house etc to see what some of these 'companies' and success stories are actually making. Go and find NH company and you will see how pointless it all is, and her other company that she has setup with the great DoC. It really is fake it until you make it.

dad'would you be happy to share those docs with Timeless Vie ??

lastuseraccount123 · 15/02/2016 17:41

I wonder what the church of Timeless Vie would look like. Maybe we could all worship the power of the Parslai?

I found the lazyman website last night. I like the tone of his posts and the links are really good. There is a link there to the ItWorks financial information showing how much they earn which is worth a look. And read the small writing underneath the chart as it states that the chart only shows 85% of distributors because the rest didn't earn anything. It even says you need to take into account the associated costs which can run into thousands. The average earnings are only a few hundred...

wondrous I'm not going to ask how you know how dry a nun's chuff is Grin.

dadandmum · 15/02/2016 18:35

Also I am trying to find out why a Managing Director of FL UK is not mentioned as being a MD in any company or variation in the UK either.

Maybe wonderous is a nun. Have you wandered over from nunsnet, wonderous

I'm looking at the video in the lazyman link that eye posted further up the thread.

It is worth you watching the woman from Mary Kay at 35.14 seconds in to the video (Money Mastermind Show) talking about the car plan. Confirms roughly what we think happens with car plans. Her comments about how they reel prospects in and sign them up is interesting too.

Ffs! Basically just a list of MLMs! Pretty disappointed in the NCT at the moment

that's a huge conflict of interest for NCT imo.

lastuseraccount123 · 15/02/2016 19:03

maybe some #VIEstars should target NCT, now we know they love MLMs so much. OMG huns the recruitin opportunities!

Urgh throwing, can you just imagine these MLM people as wolves slavering and pacing around outside the venue, eyes glittering in anticipation of all those yummy mummies desperate not to have to return to work a J.O.B. and leave their precious babies within.

throwingpebbles · 15/02/2016 19:10

exactly AngryAngry and I have highlighted this issue to that NCT's admin but they just said some "platitudes" about discussing it with the committee and clearly decided they didn't want to know Angry

As well as the earlier bit at 35.14 seconds, take a look further at 48.15 minutes approx she talks about what she (and others) had to do to make promotion :(. She left Mary Kay nine years ago and personally apologised to everyone she recruited (they forgave her).

lastuseraccount123 · 15/02/2016 19:14

throwing well maybe it's time we threw it back in NCT's face and made it clear they don't have a choice but to know?

esp. as we now know they (MLM fuckers) delib. target new mums.

OP posts:
stopfaffing · 15/02/2016 19:17

At 50 minutes she talks about why she gave up. They were getting further in debt and she did a bit push; spent a week doing ten presentations in order to make money. Spend $1000 on give-aways etc, sold nothing Shock.

She returned home, packed up her Mary Kay stuff and sent it back to the company, put on a suit and got a job as a waitress so she could finally make money to pay bills.

throwingpebbles · 15/02/2016 19:18

How do you think best? A message to head office?
Or....a TV blog about how NCT are there to support vulnerable new mums but are unwittingly (I hope) facilitating their repeated exposure to a number of MLMs who not only make false health claims but also openly admit that their key target is new mums who feel the conflicting pressures of earning money/ being around for their children?

stopfaffing · 15/02/2016 19:19

last, we need to keep talking to the NCT because they can't continue to turn a blind eye to this exploitation of their members. I'm going to have a look at who is in charge there at the moment...
