Their presence at Nct events lends them an air of legitimacy Sad
When I was a child NCT members were a driving force behind things like the Nestle boycott, they wouldn't have touched this kind of organisation with a barge pole!

no reason why we can't do both throwing. do you want to do one and me the other?

Yes good plan. Shall I contact their HQ as you are so good at getting the TV tone right?

dreich · 15/02/2016 19:34

I've noticed a lot of bots targeting the mum to be events at Mothercare. Like the NCT Mothercare don't seem to care.

lastuseraccount123 · 15/02/2016 19:42

throwing sure that works for me. And why don't we try and time it so it happens the same day?

Apropos of NCT. This link has also just been sent to me. It shows exactly the same tactic of 'MLM' recruiters infiltrating a charity offering support to women in a vulnerable situation.

Interestingly younique has its own foundation which purports to help abused women by sending them on a retreat. My younique bot often mentions how she is supporting "abused women" by selling younique products

Also very disappointed in nct

She's closer to the truth than she even realises!

I looked into younique's foundation. at the point I looked into it, there was no building and I couldn't find a location for this so-called retreat. Interestingly, they notify women privately (they claim) of being accepted to the retreat so there's no way to track if it actually exists or not. You have to fill out a form and send it in to younique and then they 'select' certain women. Which means you have no way of knowing if the retreat actually exists at all.

or checking whether other women got in over you.

If I've (general) made the move to contact a dv charity, I wouldn't want to have to wait to be 'chosen'. My self esteem is probably already shot to pieces and this would be another blow.

When DS2 was in reception (so 2 years ago), our PTFA did a 'pamper evening' for the mums. I didn't go (I think I was working but it sounded like my idea of hell so I just might not have gone). I've since found out that the chair of the PTFA is a FL bot, so I'm pretty glad that I didn't feel obliged to go (as i usually do for PTFA stuff).

They've never run one since, so I suspect there were complaints and the HT put a stop to it.

Mootpointer · 15/02/2016 20:37

yes good plan last
Seems that many of the mlms are prepared to sink to many depths to snag their potential bots. .....New mums, domestic abuse survivors.
Third world countries. Angry

That second video eye I was already weirded out by looking into the younique owners but that vid takes the biscuit.

At 2:36 minutes "Clear data shows that one of the three (his children, on the stage with him) of these will be sexually abused before they're twelve years old" WTAF Shock. The eldest, on the right is almost in tears.

ambler21 Just when you think you've seen it all, you find something like that jaw-dropping video. Imagine what goes on when the cameras aren't running.

This mob of 'Mormon MLM' hucksters make Elmer Gantry look like a honest man.

Hey, saw some messages about me on page 25 and thought I'd chime in to see if I can help anyone.

Yes, I don't control much of my advertising. It is Google AdSense, so if you just visited an MLM site, you might see MLM ads. Or MLM companies could buy ads on the page. Hopefully, people are focused on the message.

Other than that, I'd just like to say thank you to the people who said that they like my work. I'm also really happy that you are spreading the Money Mastermind Show video. I had no idea that the Mary Kay person was going to be in the audience. I might be the first person ever to be happy to upstaged as it proved my point better than I ever could.

I'm currently being sued by another MLM, Le-Vel. The goal of these lawsuits is to make it too expensive for me to continue to write about these companies.
