I'm not sure they all will enjoy it though, Twunk. It's sort of like being on an accelerating roundabout with no way to get off. Does anyone have a device which will link easily? I'm envisaging the scene in that movie - Double Idemnity was it? That's how MLMs look to me.

cozietoesie · 27/04/2016 20:29

No - it wasn't Double indemnity. The one where one man thinks he's made a deal with another to kill each other's wife.

Strangers on a Train perhaps?

cozietoesie · 27/04/2016 20:32

Yes. Strangers on a Train - the Carousel scene.

I normally keep my bot as a friend just to amuse myself but I've broken cover just now and called her out on a 'Johnson and Johnson are deliberately giving our babies cancer, so glad I use natural products' post. It felt good.

cozietoesie · 27/04/2016 20:41

Goodness. She used the D word?

slithytove · 27/04/2016 20:43

Could anyone pm me the disappointed bot video please?

Spongebobette · 27/04/2016 21:02

Me too please I've searched for that video but am obviously too dim to find it 😉

I fear so. I hope someone is getting those links ready. Smile

Twunk · 27/04/2016 21:34

Did I say I'd been staring at my computer for 2 whole days? Promise I'll do the next one Wink

cozietoesie · 27/04/2016 21:35

Well done, Twunk. Smile

cozietoesie · 27/04/2016 21:37

PS - you do realise that most people who post will be expecting an invite to a 'special Twunk party' ?

Hi guys - been lurking for a very long time - just want to congratulate you all for bringing these awful and shocking MLM's out in the open so the truth can be told about how much exploitation is involved with running these "businesses" - I for one am so glad that FL is one that has been highlighted as being awful, I have lost a few dear friends to this scam - their mentors/sponsors are just bullies with a smile - it makes me sad Sad and mad [mad] at the same time .... anyway just wanted to say Hi ... keep up the good work .. Wine Grin..... sits back in chair to carry on lurking ..........

cozietoesie · 27/04/2016 22:18

Be sure to visit the new thread, ontheball. Smile

RaspberryOverload · 27/04/2016 22:19

I've also been lurking a long time.

Never approached directly, and wouldn't anyway, the scam is just so obvious.

But l was advertising for stallholders for a PTA fete last year and the first to respond was an FL bot, and I could have filled all the stalls with FL, there were so many enquiries.

But, we had a policy that branded products would be limited to one stall, and I turned down all other FL enquiries after the first (who didn't make much anyway, from what I could gather).

RaspberryOverload · 27/04/2016 22:21

Sorry, didn't quite get that right, it was limiting branded products to one stall per brand so we had a range of stalls for interest. Non-branded products unlimited as they tend to be varied crafts anyway.

cozietoesie · 27/04/2016 22:22

Good to have you posting, Raspberry. Smile

This thread will be ending soon so hang around for the next one.

Spongebobette · 27/04/2016 22:50

Oh. That video though.

ontheballaboutbots · 27/04/2016 23:02

Spongebobette I think she looks totally traumatised ..... Shock

ontheballaboutbots · 27/04/2016 23:06

thanks cozie will be definitely lurking on the new thread ...... from catching up with all these threads .... just proves all my instincts were right ........ Smile

Seenthelight21 · 27/04/2016 23:20

Patzy
I did have a few people joining me who contacted me first but that was in the early days..... last one was July last year where someone contacted me out of the blue to join

It doesn't happen often
You have to work for team members.....! Lol

Some of my downline left straight away after starting that's normal... especially with the upline I had she used to scare people away!!!

I still have about 80 active but just decided it's not for me any longer there has to be more to life than forever!!!!!

Yes attraction marketing was encouraged.... and I had some success with it but it's like learning how to sell yourself and your lifestyle.... having matching colour profile pictures with cover photos etc

stopfaffing · 28/04/2016 06:23

Oh I give up Grin, you know the drill Wink.
