Grumpyarse - it would be so bad if you had unrefuted proof about what you say - I have seen someone work their ass off for two years to reach and earn money from selling - yes selling product -ethically and without using social media - yet you people have the big ballingus to say she's a crook - whether I like her products or not - she earned the money legit - and she ain't a Mormon, Isis or religious

Patzy85 · 23/02/2016 12:54

Shadow - panicked, most definitely!

We KNOW that's true. Just google 'Forever Living scam' and guess what appears near the top - these threads.

All it takes is a little scroll to read how people really feel about the mindless selfies/cheap products/mindset training/ running costs (must hit those 4ccs) inspirational quotes/lies/false medical claims/victimisation... Etc.

Not to mention the fact that so many ex-bots are here, confirming, sharing their own accounts of the bullshit.

Guess I'm a pussy too, though. LOL

Patzy85 · 23/02/2016 12:56

Then, if what you say is true couldntcareless you would know that she is not the target of these threads.

Fires go out when you starve them of oxygen.

Nope. I would never accuse a rep of being a crook. I do, however consistently question the ethics of any company that thinks its ok to encourage people in third world countries to spend six months wage on a business in a box, a box of products they have no chance of ever selling.
And any company that draws people In with promises of part time hours for full time wage, then as soon as you're in you find that a 50 hour seven day week is the reality - that is deceptive as well. Why can't they be honest?
If your friend has worked hard and earned money, then it is HER hard work that should be celebrated, not the company she bought the products from, because after all, it was her hard work and money that did it.

Kanga59 · 23/02/2016 12:59

Oh dear another JP bot has entered the discussion to say that "second hand JP pouches carry risk" and that she can do an amazing offer on new stock. think I'm gonna vomit

cozietoesie · 23/02/2016 12:59

I've just had lunch. Smile

couldntcareless (your username seems sadly inappropriate! :) wrote "Your bullshitness hasn't stopped any of [MLM] has it?"

I'm an infrequent poster here but admire it enormously. In a different life I protested against Scientology. Like MLMs, $cn is still with us but there is now a wealth of true info on the net - and many have escaped the clutches.

(And well done team! We're obviously hurting sales :) )

couldnotcareless I have directed you to said proof. Please ask your carer to read it aloud to you

Well I would love to stay but I have to go back to my J.O.B.

Gimlet1984 · 23/02/2016 13:06

It's strange how we have not achieved anything yet the threads seem to keep attracting aggressive new posters in denial.

sminkypink · 23/02/2016 13:09

That's to be expected Gimlet1984, if an mlm has invested a lot of time in teaching you that the outside work is a scary place, everyone who isn't in an mlm is doomed and if you leave an mlm you'll be doomed to financial ruin, then to have someone attack that mlm can be really quite terrifying.

Eyespying · 23/02/2016 13:10

Gimlet1984 This one has even been instructing me which words I can use, to express my thoughts.

Melaw21 · 23/02/2016 13:10

I know right gimlet? anyone with a reasonable and considered rebuttal to any of the points we make, would probably not come here and shout 'pussy' at everyone like a 12 yr old school boy! Not exactly an award winning argument is it?

Annie65 · 23/02/2016 13:11

Cozie, agree about the fires.

sminkypink · 23/02/2016 13:11

we know from timeless vie that there is life afterwards, that people do find happiness. People walk out of mlms all the time, millions of people jack it in every year and the world doesn't end. There are plenty of us on this thread who left, paid the credit card off, etc. What a relief for them.

Gimlet1984 · 23/02/2016 13:17

Good point Sminkypink I think as you have mentioned because these threads come up at the top of mlm scam search it's causing problems for recruiting. Previous searches would come back with videos and testimonials refuting any possibility of the company being a pyramid scheme but now there's a massive source of information to the contrary. The success day for Forever was a lot emptier this year and that's a fact. Bit silly of them to pick the same day as comic con.

throwingpebbles · 23/02/2016 13:19

couldnt you have totally missed the point bless you. We aren't saying the individuals are Mormons, but that is what is behind all these MLMs
