You mean stalkerish in the way that bots 'rekindle' very old relationships, and instigate friendships that would never have happened otherwise, for the sake of selling & recruiting?

You know, befriending someone on FB and suddenly liking and commenting on almost everything to feign interest?

That sort of 'stalkerish' behaviour?

fay81 · 14/03/2016 21:06

It's an open forum isn't it stopfaffing? Or is it only those on the same mission as yourselves that is allowed to post with anonymity ???

stopfaffing · 14/03/2016 21:06

Have we? Do you have details? I must have missed that post.

fay81 · 14/03/2016 21:07

Yes that kind of stalkerish behaviour....

acatcalledjohn · 14/03/2016 21:07

fay, it was a Rightmove advert which was freely available on that bot's own PUBLIC page.

fay81 · 14/03/2016 21:08

You didn't reverse search the image?

fay81 · 14/03/2016 21:09

No I just assumed that outsiders were searched out to identify them and their jobs, addresses etc to be posted on here. And those in favour were allowed to identify themselves via private means asanas when. Maybe that's just my experience?

throwingpebbles · 14/03/2016 21:09

The Argi stuff. I still don't get it, why not just eat more Hmm

You might as well just stuff handfuls of £50s down the bog for all the good it's going to do you.

cozietoesie · 14/03/2016 21:10

I must have missed the information on the number of TV 'likes'. Over 1,000 was it?

stopfaffing · 14/03/2016 21:10

I don't know who you are, Fay. Yes, it is an open forum but as you said above "two bit mumsNet thread...
It's tedious and a bit scary/stalkerish". I just pointed out you don't have to stay here if it doesn't suit you.

And acat makes a really good point. You must agree that nothing is more stalkerish than being 'befriended' by someone who has an ulterior motive to sign you up to their MLM company or sell you (overpriced) products. Yuck.

fay81 · 14/03/2016 21:12

Throwing I would
Love to eat more truly. I just physically can't. I eat 3 meals a day (sometimes), supplement with protein shakes but I weight train 5 times a week. I was falling asleep constantly and as I say I try lots of
Supplements.
Some stay in my routine others don't. Argi is being tested.

lastuseraccount123 · 14/03/2016 21:12

look she's clearly here just to shit-disturb.

let's see:

*you're all bullies - check
*the police - check
*Lying to people as part of an MLM just a lifestyle choice we should respect - check
*I'm reaaaally rich and you don't even know how rich I am - check
*you're middle aged womens, you can't do anything! - check
*you're all bullies (repeated constantly)
*private messages! there are private messages!

I think that's covered everything.

Just a reminder of the kind of lies/tactics we have to deal with:

cozietoesie · 14/03/2016 21:12

Three chocolate truffles down and it's not even the weekend.

lastuseraccount123 · 14/03/2016 21:16

and a reminder of how MLM bots are taught to lie to suck people in:

I have a good many acquaintances met through business over the years. It's no different than any business
Networking I have done. Fortunately I know the score and some people
Want to be friends for reasons of their owns. It doesn't bother me. My close circle
Is close. Someone earns their place there. And from that point of view I do agree. When people are lonely they are ripe for mlm when they have moved to a new area/just had a baby etc. That's wrong.

Someone befriending me- I get that from mlm, traditional business people and fraudsters. Water off a ducks back...

lastuseraccount123 · 14/03/2016 21:17

I forgot-

*talking about imaginary PMs from us that don't exist - check!
*just generally making shit up - check!

cozietoesie · 14/03/2016 21:18

Having said which, I have one colour to go to even up the box. Even eating of chocolates is critical I feel.

Melaw21 · 14/03/2016 21:18

Fay, we have many a person come along making unfounded accusations against us ,who merrily claim not to know/be involved with/have any connection to the individual/s they propose to advocate for. It is good due diligence on our part to be aware of who is making those accusations and whether or not they may have an associated and unreported special interest in the mlm field or those who partake. Understandably, it didnt take long to in fact discover, you do have an interest of sorts (potentially financial although you dispute this, which is accepted in good faith) and you happen to 'know' a particular individual who claims to be being bullied via a social relationship ( of which the extent of that relationship is none of our business) I have no interest in 'outing' you, because you are entitled to your anonymity as is every other member here (also its against the mnhq rules) I was merely alluding to the information so that you personally would be aware,( before you made any further claims) of the road you may be travelling. You outed yourself by confirming and referring specifically to the vague posts I made.
I am genuinely not trying to be a clever clogs (or miss marple) at all, however I do care very deeply about this cause and the people whose lives are ruined by mlm... So therefore I acted in the interests (imho) of the mumsnetters and tv followers. We wish you no ill will at all, in fact we welcome your input (especially as a successful business woman) and I am glad that you do understand some of the points we make and where we are coming from. 😊

Last user couldn't be more wrong. Not here to shit disturb.

I have said in a few posts- i dont disagree with all this threads points
I only disagree with the personal aspect of the campaign.
You have backed that up in derogatory comments about me.

lastuseraccount123 · 14/03/2016 21:20

MLM is NOT just another business

cozietoesie · 14/03/2016 21:21

On the other hand, I might be engaging in self-deception as an excuse for eating more chocolate.

powertotheparslaii · 14/03/2016 21:21

Fay if you're energy is lagging and you're weight training 5 times a week then I'd suggest l glutamine and BCAA (cheap as chips from my protein)

powertotheparslaii · 14/03/2016 21:21

Your*

FLhahaha · 14/03/2016 21:21

I think you will find that far from posting personal details, we have been at pains to tell people to be more careful. We have pointed out that an open Facebook profile, which is frequently updated with 'on x date I will be going to y place' combined with either addresses on that profile or available via companies house, is not the best thing to do.

Eyespying · 14/03/2016 21:25

derogatory - adjective, showing strong disapproval and not showing respect.
