Whilst RH's takedown of juice plus wasn't particularly nice, and a bit misogynistic, the number of hits showed if you can pitch it right, you can get tens of thousands of hits to warn against MLMs.

If there was anyone here creatively inclined, if we could make a parody video/song that would be easily shared that may help get the word out. E.g. Loved the Del Boy lyrics some clever person though of in the last thread. Unfortunately, I have no talents in that regards, but maybe we could all pitch in on the content?

From FLs success day training:
'Rex Vaughen is a very clever man. He chose the marketing plan even before he chose the product.'
But it's not a pyramid scheme and product is central (per Natasha)?

Bovnydazzlers · 25/02/2016 12:37

Same video also contains such gems as 'every single product we use, we rub in, we drink, we glug back, needs to be forever living'

Just came across a bot on YouTube who's promotional video suggests she lives in a rather lavish mansion, living a fancy life.

Quick look on her Facebook and she lives in a very normal terrace house.

But they're not conning people?

Melaw21 · 25/02/2016 12:53

Well, I suspect you have probably all seen this video, but how anyone could watch it and not think 'con' is beyond me!!!

Patzy85 · 25/02/2016 12:53

If anyone wants to know who, feel free to inbox.

Fullyloaded1 "Eye I've read everything you've written . I've been reading about mind control for years , it's everywhere + it serious . It's Not just MLM . It's the falsification of everything we believe to be true ! Once u go down the 'rabbit hole' u realise this shit is serious"

When you meet Morpheus, choose wisely! :)

Wrt this, and Natasha's plaint over anonymity, this is my website www.peterlucey.com Not very interactive but shows links to belief system scams (Amway, natch). I journeyed from religious belief to skepticism, partly due to Scientology - if very bright people can be conned by Hubbard (and many were) - why can't bright people be conned by other, more mainstream beliefs? :)

(I only joined MN when that $%%ing cancer quack Burzyinski, was preying on desperate British parents and there were threads on MN)

I just do not like my friends being targeted - there is the friend currently selling FL who has a seriously ill child. There is the friend with ME who is being harassed to death.

Melaw21 · 25/02/2016 13:17

This guy is a peach... The 3 ft rule? 😱😱 so tecnically I could be prospected in a public toilet cubicle? By nature of being within 3ft? But its ok, apparently you dont have to rely on that method as much now... Because of the internet, they can now prospect you in the comfort of your own home without being asked... I am horrified to think I am sitting on many a prospect list/s somewhere right now, who has next to no understanding of the data protection act, just to be targeted at the given opportunity. I am ex directory, on the tps, and abrv electoral roll for this exact reason. I dont want to be targeted! what makes me sick, is that these f-wits are able to target me through either abusing my trust directly (friend bot) or through someone else I trust (friend of a friend bot). This is how I keep getting added to groups/online parties that I never asked to be put in and knocks at the door to come to actual home launch parties etc.... Unnacceptable! What details do they hold? What about my kids? I have a teenager, are they on a list to be prospected when they come of age? Its dark, disturbing and a complete invasion of privacy!!!!

I'm delurking again to post this picture. Do people seriously believe these claims? And surely bee pollen can make asthma worse?

Woah this place has been busy. If FL headquarters do read this thread I hope they have a lot of time on their hands. Grin

rayofhope · 25/02/2016 13:19

fully I too was told that I should be doing my mindset training before I got out of bed and again when I went to sleep. Now looking back I don't understand how I was sucked into it? But then again, that's clearly why I didn't get in too deep. I would only manage a few days of the mindset stuff before I got bored having to do it every day.

Melaw21 · 25/02/2016 13:21

See trucker... That gives me the rage too... They advocate it for asthma and allergies?!!!! 😡😡😡😡 what if you suffer from severe hayfever/pollen allergies? This is so dangerous. Its not a benign 'safe' product if you have those issues,... Helps asthma? Great... I'll just get rid of my inhalers then, hopefully this will save my life when I have an attack???

😡😡😡😡

sminkypink · 25/02/2016 13:22

You could kill someone with this 'advice' it stinks!

Melaw21 · 25/02/2016 13:24

Have you posted this to Botwatch Trucker?

They would be all over this one!

Patzy85 · 25/02/2016 13:27

As you can see, alleged home of said bot and the view from bots window during some recent snow.

Same car though! (On finance, of course)

Wow! Its not often you get mansions across the road from terraced houses is it? 😉😉😉

Patzy85 · 25/02/2016 13:33

It appears this bot has been know for fibbing in the past. She's even on TVs blog with a wonderful shot of her view on holiday.... That was in reality a shot from a holiday website!

Nothing unethical going on here though.

TruckerHat · 25/02/2016 13:42

I've tried to message Botwatch, doesn't seem to be sending but I'll try again later.

nextyearrodney · 25/02/2016 13:47

Ah skibot we loved her! Always trying to make her life look better than the reality by using photos of someone else's life.

cozietoesie · 25/02/2016 14:00

I just don't understand how someone can use photos which aren't a true representation of events and yet still live with themselves. (I'm not big on photos anyway but that's another discussion.) It's some weird sort of Doublethink.

darceybussell · 25/02/2016 14:05

My favourite photo of skibot, with someone else's cheque but her hand over the name so that everyone thinks it is hers
