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-

Through a Facebook group I am on I have heard of a a Bot telling a cancer mum that she was cruel giving her son chemo, and she should give aloe instead. You will be pleased to hear the mum concerned just stopped herself becoming violent and refused the offer. The Bot wasn't offering her the shit for free by the way...so even if she believes this rubbish she still wanted to make a quick buck.

This was recently. You know, since the rules have been reiterated...

cozietoesie · 08/04/2016 13:15

You missed out an 'officially' there, Twunk? Wink

throwingpebbles · 08/04/2016 13:58

Hope you have flagged that to the one who is toobusytowee twunk?

How truly disgusting. It must be awful enough having to cope with cancer without having to fend of bots with £££ in their eyes!!

Twunk · 08/04/2016 15:34

I'm thinking of asking the mum concerned if there is a screen shot, but she may not want to get the friend in trouble. Plus she has enough to deal with at the moment.

Twunk · 08/04/2016 15:35

yes sorry. Officially reiterated....

throwingpebbles · 08/04/2016 17:16

Oh yes good point twunk about her having enough to deal with!

chuckingstones · 08/04/2016 18:08

What what what? I hear my name being used in vain? That's her birthday presents out the window then Sad. Any other ideas? Body wrap (from what I've see of a certain bot who's just changed allegiance they don't seem to work that well...)? Some green chews (they cure everything!)? Or maybe some shopping, that's more expensive than normal shopping, and you don't get any points that you can double up for good stuff?

So much choice these days...

lastuseraccount123 · 08/04/2016 18:46

we will hit 50,000 views on blog in the next week. FYI

things are busy in TV land. More big revelations to come. I'm starting to focus in on these statements of earnings that MLMs ahve to provide in Canada.

Thanks for all your support everyone, couldn't do it without you xx

cozietoesie · 08/04/2016 19:22

Well done all at TV. Smile

misselaineneous · 08/04/2016 19:24

delurks my FL Bot has just announced her new venture with...

drum roll

Jamberry.

It's like she's trolling me.

cozietoesie · 08/04/2016 19:27

Welcome, miss. Smile

gottaloveascamhun · 08/04/2016 19:44

Call me naive but I didn't realise Amway is still up and running. Just looked at the website. Lots of BS about financial freedom, then it says the average monthly income of Amway business owners is $202 per month in the USA. This is amongst glossy photos of poses families and claims of sacking the boss and world travel, unlimited income, family time, no nursery runs etc. How can anyone live on $202 a month????

SuffolkNWhat · 08/04/2016 19:49

Has anyone else seen the anti-TV FB page? It's hilarious!

lastuseraccount123 · 08/04/2016 19:51

gottalove maybe in a trailer park? In like, Missisippi? in a really broken down trailer? #livethedream

suffolk seen it, it is funny as fuck Grin haters gotta hate, right, huns?

gottaloveascamhun · 08/04/2016 19:58

Lol at #livethedream, Last!
My FL bot is back. No explanation although she did acknowledge her absence on FB and is putting in an order tonight if anyone wants anything hunz... is it £50 for free P and P?

throwingpebbles · 08/04/2016 20:04

Hello miss glad you decided to delurk Grin

gottaloveascamhun · 08/04/2016 20:12

I'm getting really tired of the stupid crying-laughing-emoticon responses on the TV page when people question the income that can be made from Jamberry. FFS these women are seriously deluded thinking anyone will want to buy their post nail stickers. When a poster patiently points out the amount they would need to spend to stay active (£600 a year), or the numbers they would need to recruit, they just shrug and say 'oh but I fink it's still a great opportunity'. Are they just uneducated or is the lure of the MLM opportunity too strong to resist?? I'm happier news, I saw a life tree post today with loads of comments saying 'scam : reported', 'u are full of shit', 'smells like a pyramid', 'no-one on FB wants your overpriced grocries, rather go to Tesco' etc. Quite amusing :)

gottaloveascamhun · 08/04/2016 20:13

Poxy nail stickers. Rargh.
