It's all so secretive... But I think this is from an Ariix bot (flp detractor) page showing the Ariix compensation - presume it's better than the average as it is so new?

That Moa stuff is the thing my bots been posting about - I recognise the bottle. It's funny how a few months ago she was saying the same kind of things about the aloe goop, but today she was saying this stuff was "so much better, and didn't make me want to urge like the aloe".

Eyespying · 24/02/2016 21:51

In the very latest price list, 'Ariix MOA' is supposed to be retailed at $93.93 for two 25cl bottles, that's knocking on for $200 per litre.

Ah. Mr Miser has 'nearly two decades of experience developing high-margin offerings for major network marketing companies...... ( or words to that effect.)

I wonder what that all means? Grin

Bananasmel · 24/02/2016 21:56

Just caught up.....

About the Gay marriage thing.... I wonder who's money Natasha thinks was used to make the donation to the anti Gay marriage side ? ......

Indirectly.... It was probably bot money.

throwingpebbles · 24/02/2016 21:58

high margin offerings for major network marketing companies = really cheap aloe shite that we can persuade people to sell for extortionate prices by encouraging them to claim in can cure all manner of illnesses but expressly forbidding them from doing so in our official policies

I realise you knew that cozie Smile but thought I had better spell it out for any simple minded dwellers in rural type accommodation/ people who work with monkeys and connected species

Eyespying · 24/02/2016 21:59

Correction, when you buy one bottle of 'Ariix MOA' its 25cl, in the 2 pack the bottles seem to be only 21cl. How can anyone be expected to retail a mixture of fruit juices for more than $200?

Toobusytowee · 24/02/2016 22:00

I just had a look at the ingredients and nutritional info on the supplements from that video. Why would anyone want to overdose so much on all those things? Seems a tad unnecessary and surely your poor liver and kidneys won't appreciate having to get rid of it?

Evening all!

Big hugs to unicorn. I'm so glad you've found these threads and smelt the BS emanating from these scammy scummy mlm schemes.

What will Forever Living's Head Office think when the powers that be read these threads? I'm sure they'll be delighted that their own managers' posts have dragged Forever Living into the gutter with their ranting, raving and gnashing of aloe gel-coated teeth. Great job you two! Pass Go. Collect 2ccs and a big cardboard cheque for 52p. Grin

Wasn't there something in Forever Pravda advising comrades not to engage in negative discussions on social media? If the top bots won't take their advice there's no hope for the chimps at the bottom of the pyramid - it's a monkey-see monkey-do business, right?

Who are the Forever bots who have defected / defecated to ariix? Could someone spill the aloe beans and pm me? Thank you. Smile

fastdaytears · 24/02/2016 22:05

unicorn welcome. Don't be embarrassed at all. The Usborne one would be the one that I would have been most tempted by as it's a household name (well as far as kids books go) and what can be wrong with selling some books?

Natasha has said it's all about the selling and not the recruiting, so why do all the sign up here presentations have nothing at all about the product?

unicornspoopingrainbows · 24/02/2016 22:08

Well my bot will be in to the bitter end with FL by the looks of it.

She has just updated her status as

' love how our business meetings turn into planning how we are going to spend our extra £19,000 per month. With FL and hard work it's totally possible'

Complete with cheesie selfie and grinning like hyenas.

P.s thanks for the kindness guys much appreciatedThanks

Eyespying · 24/02/2016 22:09

It doesn't get more tragicomic than this homemade 'Ariix' jingle video (that's a vodka for throwingpebbles)

fastdaytears · 24/02/2016 22:10

Oh and I can't believe the aloe to cure autism nonsense and I'd have been furious. Unfortunately, you'll be approached by all manner of bots I'd have thought. Have you seen their training materials about how each prospect has a "button"? A son with complex needs who you want to be at home with is definitely a "button". It's awful.

DayToDayShit · 24/02/2016 22:13

Grin Grin big cardboard cheque for 52p

NorbertDentressangle · 24/02/2016 22:14

On a recent MLM bot watch thread I posted about a facebook status from my FL bot asking if anyone had ever had a loan with HSBC, RBOS, Citibank etc to reply "Yes" and that she would explain all.

Well, this is her latest offering....

“Did you work in the NHS, Police, Armed Forces, Council, Fire Service, as a Teacher or other Public Service job between 1990 and 2009? If so, reply with a ‘yes’ and I’ll explain all…”

All her posts are FL based (look at my wonderful lifestyle, I'm so blessed, I love my family and the time I spend with them blah, blah, blah) so what are these mysterious posts about? Are they connected to FL/another MLM?

NameChangeEr · 24/02/2016 22:20

Just caught up.

natasha thanks for coming to answer questions! I missed out! but if you are still answering! I understand you need more space, but if you cannot get a mortgage why not rent somewhere bigger than your old place, but smaller and cheaper and then save up the difference for a deposit or have enough to buy somewhere outright? When you might have to substantially downsize? Why rent the most expensive place you can?

Thankyou for being honest about how much you will likely make in the first year/how many hours it really takes, I hate the 10-15 hours per week.

It seems to me that if you are intelligent and know what you are doing, you might be ok, but someone who isn't in the best position in life won't do well.

The one thing I would never give up is maternity leave, it's there to spend 9-12months with a baby. I wouldn't want to join anything that encouraged me to work from a few days old. Yes I would consider having someone to my home having a coffee as work.

My bot can't even take a picture of her dog without there being a FL product in it.

School run, car, out shopping, out for lunch...

Every. Single. Photo.

She even has a collection of products on her fireplace/kitchen benches/dining table at any given time. Every part of her house is filled with this stuff!

Which just leads me to the question.... Why is there tooth gel on your sideboard in the living room? Hmm

Melaw21 · 24/02/2016 22:25

eyes that is epic! She is my all time fave bot! bows in humble awe 'motherofall' bot! 😂😂😂 If this is the caliber of bot we can expect of Ariix then I am truly excited about what happens next! Eeeek!!! 🎉🎉🎉

unicornspoopingrainbows · 24/02/2016 22:25

Me and a lot of other parents I'm friends with had to give up work fairly early on when our kids were born because of their difficulties. Juggling a very intense family life, numerous therapy appointments and not finding appropriate child care puts an end to things quickly.

Your 'before' friends carry on and your kind of left behind.

Then you meet a lovely lady who asks you what you did 'before' this and how you thought life could be. She then says it's not impossible, she can make it happen. And in a sleep deprived, emotional state some grab onto that chance to keep some 'normality'.

That's a huge button to be pushed by a bot. Especially if their company has aloe goo that can help your child.

I actually had one bot tell me I could be more in life than 'just a carer'. Angryhmm thanks for that.

cozietoesie · 24/02/2016 22:32

Sometimes they smile the most broadly when they're just about to abandon you, unicorns. I wouldn't be so sure she'll be there to the bitter end. It all depends where the advantage lies for many of them.

cozietoesie · 24/02/2016 22:34

Although, of course, it would be dressed up in a 'boldly going' speech. Wink

NorbertDentressangle · 24/02/2016 22:36

Thank you for that link Mimsy.

So it looks like my bot has a sideline in referring friends to PPI claims companies. Nice.

cozietoesie · 24/02/2016 22:40

They're just boxes to tick though, Norbert. No^ longer friends^ as you might understand the term.
