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-

That worm meme is such complete nonsense!! :)

Watching my bot with interest to see what happens next!

cozie she's gone botshit crazy this last week! Shame as I really like her and she's a lovely lady....

She was a lovely lady???

Now you all know - you're worms, I'm afraid.

That's is probably the right way to word it cozie... Would love her to be able to read these threads or TV. Her up line from juice plus took her over to ariix when she jumped ship last year....

It's a sadness.

Maybe she'll return to you one day.

HOLD THE FRONT PAGE. My bot held an online party tonight and she's managed, while juggling no many customers, to find a cure for cancer, TB, bronchitis, asthma and many other illnesses. The cure? Bee Pollen.

Don't get me started - again - on selling bee pollen!

Nah Leanne if you read it says "promotes and supports....cancer"

You want to stay clear of that

Emoji hell...

My 'it works' bot posted 26 times in 36 hours - all drivel and full of 'huns' and 'eeks'

Here's another "bot" trait I've noticed... the car selfie with sleeping child in the car seat in the back along with some blurb about #laptoplifestyle #workfromanywhere #blah #blah #blah! I don't know about you but when DS used to sleep in his car seat I would go to a drive through, get a drink and find somewhere quiet to park and just chill, maybe read a book or listen to the radio - no #makingbusinesscalls #workfromhome #freedom twaddle!

Blimey afterthegoldrush, that takes spamming to a whole new level! Surely nobody in not-a-not land can be reading her crap?

Windytriller I purposely take my son for a drive after lunch most days, park somewhere quiet and have a nap in my car :)

Leanne can you forward that to Botwatch. They were after a live account to report. So don't warn the bot

Just shows though doesn't it? They KNOW it's a fucking pyramid - get in there quick so you can be near the top of it!

You have to wonder, after, if she realises what she's actually posted?

Out of interest, if any ex MLMers are reading, are people just sent these things and told to put them up?

How exactly does it work?

Have PM'd Botwatch on FB with some good stuff this evening. My Bot has gone too far this time.

Good work Suffolk

I don't have any health-claimy bots, dammit

yeah I always chuckle at the idea that spamming people on your phone while your child naps in the car is somehow living the dream!

Cozie from my experience with ActiDerm / ActiLabs they have a few "über" upline types with 1000s in their downline who preach that to be successful you have to do as they say and do 100% so most people copy and paste whateve they see their upline a doing. They have groups where people share results pics and testimonials for others to copy and use. Presuming It Works / Nu Skin work in a similar way.

The owners of Acti didn't seem to care so long as the money was coming in.

ooh excellent suffolknwhat

No, Twunk. It's good if you don't. False health claims are about as awful as you can get.

and yes Leanne do send to bot watch with identifying details and link to original if poss
(am assuming you still want these Toobusy?!)
