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.

Some links of interest-
A factsheet aimed at people considering joining an MLM or who have just done so, to warn them of some facts. tinyurl.com/ha6sgxw

A film of herbalife victims describing what it is like in their MLM-

A film on how to spot a pyramid scheme-

A comedy review of an MLM product- www.youtu.be/4yr_etbfZtQ

Geeze please tell me that's a bad photoshop! Why would anyone WANT to look like that?

Lots of Jamberry launch posts in my local FB selling pages whilst the FL / JP / Younique etc etc posts have dropped off especially from outside the area. Due to complaints / good Mod'ing hopefully.
Good work & excellent news Botwatch & Timeless Vie!

But they're 'selling' one limited and expensive product ? That's surely not any sort of basis for all of these 'businesses' even as they're viewing it.

Purchasing Facebook likes? Good grief! Yet more lies and another example of the law of attraction gone wrong.

I fear for anyone in Dubai who has been sucked into an MLM. Getting into debt in the Emirates can have very serious consequences. Also, I'm amazed that an Islamic country allows schemes set up by Mormons. In addition to that, authorities mustn't have a clue about the extent of the cultic elements behind these scams.

I'm glad I'm not the only one to be unaware of that possibility/likelihood. I was feeling all 1990 on my tod.

I doubt the Emirates actually know about it. It's a 'pin-money' thing after all?

Having a little party tonight on Timeless Vie Twitter to celebrate the launch of scamberry

The 'launch'?

Yep
They are all squealing away on Twitter ..
Timeless vie are of course joining in the celebrations

Give me strength

Ha ha, this is is pure script!

Would someone be able to make a timeless vie template for flyers and business cards? Flipping fl card on the notice board at DH's swimming lesson, would love to add a timeless vie one.

There are some to download already on Facebook LMG but think last is still working away on stuff to buy as well...

a new timeless video!

Thanks throwing, I've had a really busy couple of weeks (mostly fun family stuff and voluntary activities may I add for any bots watching) so have been quiet on social media (apart from the odd picture of us having shed loads of fun). I'll get some downloaded and printed. Feel like taking a stack to every soft play in the area.

I love that TV are joining in the party.

I know that we often point out that no-.one is immune to blandishments - as they're not at the right time and from the 'right' people - but I would most cordially invite anyone to try to recruit me.

more shares of the post please! be brave!

and don't be afraid to retweet us! courage, resistancers!

Sorry - perhaps 'recruit' is the wrong word? 'Invite' might be better?

That's my plan too LMG and every NCT event as well!

Careful cozie , you say that,but one of our fellow thread members went undercover and joined a Jamberry group and she has gone awfully quiet recently.....

I hear you, throwing. Have no fear though - I've been there and come out the other side. I couldn't be bothered to be honest.

I have tragically chewed nails so am safe from the lure of scamberry at least

I can still feel myself get sucked by their boasts of amazing earnings etc tho [bkush]

'Certainty/positivity ' are very beguiling to be sure. You just have to double dig some flower beds to get it in perspective.

Having sent a link to one of my 'remote' bots it seems I have been removed from the face of her Facebook since she no longer exists in my FB world.

It's so sad because she screams 'fake it til you make it' but hey ho at least I tried :) :) :)

Don't cry too too much!

Can someone post a twitter link for tv please? Thanking you very much
