MLM Bot Watch 17- chat about Utah based tragicomic cultastic racketeering scamalangadingdongs like Forever Living, Ariix, Herbalife, Younique, Juiceplus etc etc etc

[Toobusytowee]

A brief history of the threads so far-

A few people were bemused at their friends' strange personality changes when they joined MLMs.
Eyespying told us they were tragicomic, thought stopping cultic racketeers.
We told him to go away, he was clearly obsessed, and can he go to his own serious thread?
We delved a bit deeper into the issues.
Eyes started creeping back. We told him he was too serious.
We became more horrified at the information being turned up and were sharing links.
Eyes told us aboutMerchants of Deception.
Timeless Vie was set up as a parody about MLMs.[[www.facebook.com/timelessvie
Facebook,]] Twitter, blog, Instagram and YouTube were all used.
People started coming forward, telling of their experiences in MLMs.
We became more horrified.
Bot Watch started on Facebook where links were put up of interest to do with MLMs.
Botwatchblog started and produced factual analysis of the discussions from MN.
MLM members (bots) waded in saying it was all ok. You can earn great money. You just have to work 19 hours a day and not worry about morals.
Bots complained about their names being used. Their lawyers complained to MNHQ so that MN now do not allow us to use bots' names or show screengrabs of their writings even if it is in the public domain.
Blogs and FB posts increased, with the increasing amount of facts and whistleblowers coming forward.
FL lawyer tried to get TV YouTube video banned.
Bots claimed we were bullying them because we were asking them questions they couldn't answer. we were called middle aged women and accused of being drug dealers.
It got a bit nasty so we ate some cheese for a bit and they went away.
Health claims from FL bots now reducing dramatically as a result of pestering from all of us.
We stopped telling Eyes he was too serious. We all started thinking in his language and realised he was right.
Eyes turned out to be very funny and entertained us all.
Sunday Times article produced exposing FL. With a little help from people here.
Lawyers still persisting in trying to ban TV's videos.

15 quid???? Are they out of their minds? ?

Carrots!

We don't need carrots: what we need is a bloody big stick to keep the bots away.

Hope this is allowed. A bot posted this on a public Facebook page for mums. It's a picture of her working from home on her business and she wants you to message her if you want the work from home benefits like this too!

I fear they are botshit nuts, gotta.

BS a big stick, you say? How about an orange line?

also, i recommend pumping up the bass on this one!

Well done Last! They're smashing it, we're slashing them.

last that is fab Hun!

You are so good at this - do you do this IRL?

haha, no, but thanks.

Sorry if this has been mentioned before but I've just seen my bot banging on about the Forever Global Rally in South Africa

She's saying Forever are sending the whole family for 2 weeks.

Is that likely to be paid for by them or by Forever?

Bearbehind, what they get is dependent on how much money they have made FL and how many people they have conned into joining. Some people get to go for two days but pay themselves for extra. They get a ticket for themselves and one other person. They will have to pay for their child.

When they get there it is pretty much one long success day from what I can gather. I'll get you some links. Our FB feeds are going to be full of it for a while.

This was on about a family of 6 all going for a fortnight.

I could smell BS coming from my screen.

Notabotfan - wow, so I guess it's safe to say they lie about their billions!

How many FL distributors are in the UK?

This is again where bots desperately claim that it's just because most people only want a little bit of pocket money. In actual fact, it's because most people are lucky if they manage to earn anything at all.

Here is the schedule for the rally. The numbers on the right above the lines are how many CC's your team have done. If your team brought in under 1.5k CCs you only get to go to South Africa on Wednesday and come back on the Sunday.

So regardless of how many cc's you did then you'd only get your ticket plus one other?

Therefore talk of taking 4 other family members is bollocks unless they're paying.

Yup, Too, not a lot of free time to enjoy a "holiday", is there? If your team got less than 1.5k CCs, none at all .

Anyone know what botshit a 4cc level 2 is?

If you qualify for global rally and want the corresponding reward, you HAVE to go to the Rally.

Too, it's like another language isn't it ? Not one I wish to learn

Blimey, so realistically if you pay for a family of 6, which would require 4 extra flights and at least one extra room, to go for 2 weeks then you could well blow your prized cheque there and then?

Motorheadmum, you might be talking about a Chairman's bonus level 2? They have to be 4CC active and satisfy a load of conditions.

It actually looks - when you read all the conditions including the 'aaprovals' and 'according to correct mumble yadda' - as if it's down to being the right quarter of the moon and your face fits?

• approvals

Bearbehind, here is the policy saying you get two tickets-

And you have no idea how much your cheque will be for. I'll see if I can find examples of some small cheques.
