Can anyone adapt this - I think this would be a big seller as I saw similar this weekend on those videos on #fuccessday - we could have them for TVs #failureday

One of the bots I sometimes look in on has her cover photo set to herself with the damn yellow suitcase as if it's the greatest achievement in the world. I'm suspicious that she is either another shill or just very very ruthless though. I think she has been mentioned before on these threads anyway. Her mentor or whatever the hell she calls it certainly has.
These success days are just another way of conning people into joining the pyramid. Naive people will look at all the dumb pictures and the shills and the number one shill and get sucked in by it all. It's fake as hell.

Someone asked about Juiceplus and diabetics. I've been looking at the list of ingredients from the JP website and each product lists sugar as the second ingredient or sometimes, as part of the first ingredient. They don't state the amounts though so I imagine it would be very difficult for a diabetic to assess what affect it would have on their blood sugars. Strictly speaking though, diabetics shouldn't consume any sugar so I wouldn't have thought it would be suitable.

Toobusytowee · 22/02/2016 19:13

Sorry, I should have said 'effect', not 'affect'. I imagine the products would not change the sugar's mood.

I've been lurking for quite a while and have been envious as I have no Bots of my own Sad I do know one but she does nothing on FB, 'just' prescribes FL products for small children's skin conditions at playgroup Angry

I have a very basic question - am I right in thinking that the Bots who have extreme success very quickly (who you call shills) haven't actually done any of the donkey work, they've just been sent straight to the top as an advertising ploy?

bettyberry · 22/02/2016 20:01

pseudo it appears that way. Especially when we know of people who work very very hard for months and months and some new person shoots up through the promotions in weeks. It's hard not to be suspicious.

All the bots at the top have a similar look and aspirations too so I think that is part of their success. Someone just wanting to get an extension/pay of debts doesn't look so glamorous as someone wanting to work to buy a castle!

MrGrumpy01 · 22/02/2016 20:07

One of the ex-mlmers has written about how down lines can be shifted about to get people along quicker.

tbh I have my suspicions that that happened to our visitor to this thread (if her numbers and timescale are indeed correct)

GreenGoblin0 · 22/02/2016 20:07

thanks last. yes I know they had added sugar thought I had seen a properly evidenced article somewhere. will keep looking

cozietoesie · 22/02/2016 20:11

I just had a look at UK Amazon. Around 3.5k listings for juicy things and around 9.5k listings for the other eminent MLM's products. These look like big, 'embedded', sellers not people selling off a couple of items of old stock as some are on eBay.

There are some interesting features to these Amazon listings. Sellers may not be able to make 'non-authentic' claims for the effect of their products but there is considerably more laxity in the product reviews which many people rely on when buying.

In addition, if you buy from a large selling website, the seller will have your name, address and a reason to contact you. They might also - as for eBay items - have your email to use.

I could go on but I'm sure people would like to look for themselves.

cozietoesie · 22/02/2016 20:40

PS - there would be some 4.6k BINs on eBay.

cozietoesie · 22/02/2016 20:43

Sorry - I meant some 4.6k BIN listings for products from that particular eminent MLM. I'm sure there are others. Smile

Had a good natter with a friend about scentsy today. Is it right they can only put a £400 order though?

And are the claims true they are all vegetable based and free of toxins. Leaflet I saw claimed they were better than Yankee candles because they are safe for kids Hmm

She doesn't sell it. this was info on a leaflet with an order form.

crazycatlady26 · 22/02/2016 21:09

Can you believe this lol?! I linked a few things onto someone's review and along comes a bot to give her view Grin

cozietoesie · 22/02/2016 21:11

I don't know, I'm afraid - but out of interest, was your 'friend' thinking of selling Scentsy and trying to get you to make up an order?

Bananasmel · 22/02/2016 21:21

Well Crazy cat lady. There's some massive proof of brainwashing right there. It's like she's been programmed to make everything a recruiting opportunity.

for those of you worried about liking TV and offending your bots - it's worth it because sometimes they end up leaving (like this lady) Grin

Great stuff.

Many thanks to that person - and much respect! Smile

lastuseraccount123 · 22/02/2016 21:30

yes, she's amazing. we could not be happier she's free of the bullshit. SO GLAD SHE'S OUT.

crazycatlady26 · 22/02/2016 21:33

Bananasmel that's exactly what I thought! Will they ever learn? Hmm great post from brave ex bot on TV! So encouraging to see that more and more people are seeing the light and packing in the network marketing!
