I have been added to several groups on FB without my consent - I have no idea how they manage that? Do you pay or something?

Eyespying · 01/03/2016 16:15

'Firstly Pyramids are illegal,'

This is an essentially meaningless statement, coming from someone pretending moral and intellectual authority, and we should ask workingwithchimps to describe the universal identifying characteristic of all Ponzi schemes, pyramids scams, money circulation games, etc., no matter what 'commercial' camouflage they've been hidden behind?

I'm prepared to make a substantial wager that she can't even begin to tell us, because that would require the use of workingwithchimps' critical, and evaluative, faculties, which self-evidently aren't currently functioning.

We should again remind workingwithchimps of the Fraud Act, 2006, sections 2, 3, & 4.

Wow chucking you came across as vaguely intelligent there Shock

Patzy85 · 01/03/2016 16:19

Hi Cita, welcome! Can I ask what it was that brought these threads to your attention? And will you be running Jamberry alongside Forever Living?

Twunk · 01/03/2016 16:20

The products are there to keep the pyramids just on the side of legal.

BOT "Hey! Do you want to join my company?"

TARGET "Well maybe - what do I have to do?"

BOT "You have to give me £200 and then get your friends to give you all £200!"

TARGET "Oh..."

BOT "And THEN you have to give most of the £200 away to some homophobe in Utah. Plus you need to drink Aloe juice for reason whatsoever"

It's a pretty fundamental question isn't it twunk. I bet our lovely chimps all of a sudden needs to go and cook dinner /take a selfie/ host a brainwashing training session

Twunk · 01/03/2016 16:21

no reason whatsoever

throwingpebbles · 01/03/2016 16:21

Don't forget the repetitive and ludicrously expensive training session twunk Grin

Twunk · 01/03/2016 16:22

Oh I was keeping that as a lovely surprise Wink

workingwithchimps · 01/03/2016 16:22

Melaws - when I say friends, I mean just that - if you are a true friend, I expect your support and non-judgement as I would offer mine if roles were reversed. I don't do the bullshit - I can't take falseness or foolery, and I would rather drop you than pitch you. You cannot block everything no - but you can say one thing if approached - "No thanks" and move on.

throwingpebbles · 01/03/2016 16:24

So go on chimps pleeeeeease answer my question

Eyespying - you still choosing to tussle with me?

Patzy85 · 01/03/2016 16:26

But chimps, a no is just a not right now, right?

Can I ask which MLM you are involved in and how many people are in your downline?

workingwithchimps · 01/03/2016 16:27

Throwing - I caught the first banana, don't need another as I am not hungry - try throwing something sensible - or can you not handle anything more than a pebble?

Eyespying · 01/03/2016 16:27

I shall refer Citaborca to the first common-sense question I put to all 'MLM' adherents (but not one of them knows the answer to):

Since its instigation what is the overall number of individuals who have signed contracts with your so-called 'MLM income opportunity?'

(In the case of Citaborca, this question applies to all so-called 'MLM's' he/she has been under contract to).

My follow up questions include:

What lawful reason can you put forward to explain why the key-information contained in the answer to first question, has been withheld from the public, and regulators, by all 'MLM' front companies?

Eyespying · 01/03/2016 16:30

Tussle?

I was merely suggesting that we should ask workingwithchimps to describe the universal identifying characteristic of all Ponzi schemes, pyramids scams, money circulation games, etc., no matter what 'commercial' camouflage they've been hidden behind?

And saying that I'm prepared to make a substantial wager that she can't even begin to tell us, because that would require the use of workingwithchimps' critical, and evaluative, faculties, which self-evidently aren't currently functioning.

I aslo said that we should again remind workingwithchimps of the Fraud Act, 2006, sections 2, 3, & 4.

workingwithchimps · 01/03/2016 16:31

chuckingstones - In life you a going to get people who make it - and then some that don't - if every business in all industry was successful then where would we be? Your points are reasoned but still I maintain you get out what you put in.

Patzy85 · 01/03/2016 16:31

chimps

"Eyespying - you still choosing to tussle with me?"

Alright Van Damme, keep your pants on! Grin

Twunk · 01/03/2016 16:31

But a "No thanks" isn't really a no, is it?

I have say...360 friend on my Facebook. About 120 are men, and we all know they aren't the right targets.

But this is not to sell them gloop, this is to recruit them! Now if I had been recruited by a friend (likely) then we are likely to share a lot of friends. Say, 40 friends. We are down to 200 targets. Let's discount the very old and the very young (not students though) - so we can say 175. If I approached 5 a day that's 35 days. 7 working weeks. So yes I meet lots of people, but not a large number a day (especially as I'm too busy harassing my friends).

How on earth do you keep up the momentum? Especially as there are so many bots you are likely to 'overlap'. So you must be going back to the people who have already said 'no thanks'

It just doesn't add up.

workingwithchimps · 01/03/2016 16:33

Eyespying - you are not merely suggesting anything - you rarely do, I honestly can't be arsed to read your posts because after the third sentence my mind begins to wander - so forgive me for not answering your questions as I don't get far enough into the post to read them!

Twunk · 01/03/2016 16:33

And no not all my friends are on Facebook btw. But most are.
