Welcome all to the new thread

I don't believe you. Sorry.

Hope the picture is nice and clear! Still lurking and following this thread, you're all doing a great job. I didn't realise TV have brought out a range of roses though!

Brilliant Bonjour

Bonjour

Is this hitting JP at all? My bot has gone into recruitment over drive, after all the assertions it was all about the product the desperation in the recruitment posts is screaming through. Unless they are trying to snag any bots leaving FL.

Unless they are trying to snag any bots leaving FL

Think you might have hit the nail on the head there

Interesting suffolk Funny you should say that, Ive been swamped with jp posts today too!

If I were a bot it's what I would be doing

Where are all the enigmatic 'opportunity company' otherwise known as ariix posts??

Thought they would be all over this like a rabid dog!

You 'speak softly' when one of the big ones is in trouble. (If you know what's good for you.)

Oh no, having had no bots till now I have had a Jamberry party invite from two of the lovely mums from DS's school. Does this mean they are botted or are they having the party for a bot friend? What happens at a Jamberry party anyway?!

Would you have to declare the trip and spending money as a taxable perk?

I wonder if that's why they're just given a card that has money on it, is that a way to get around that?

Olaf please go and tell us what happens!

Mrshumble - The holiday wouldn't be taxable but the spending money will be taxable. I hope none of them forget to declare it!

Oh sorry that was in response to hustle - it's been a long day

I would be most interested to see photos of stockpiles of MLM wampum if anyone here has any. It would make a great illustration for the blog post on the realities of FL. Please send them to Bot Watch on Facebook or here. Any MLM will do, I can find a good place to put it. Thank you.

Thanks Eyes for telling us we wouldn't find the £200 clause in the law. I had been reading through some very lengthy and wordy documents looking for it!

If anyone sees any posts from Ariix bots saying their products are backed up by proper research, send them this link. botwatchblog.wordpress.com/2016/05/11/critique-of-a-slenderiix-paper/
It appears the 'research' isn't as good as they make out. No surprise there really I suppose.

Oh ffs, I've been added to a Jamberry(?) and a Forever page in the last 2 days & another friend is posting about a mysterious 'business opportunity' she's been offered - lots of replies about 'white Range Rovers and exotic holidays Hun'. Arghhhhhh.

Just out of interest - what the actual fuck does a business / lifestyle coach do?

The Botwatch article is pure class

Ah yes I'd forgotten about that. So essentially the £200 startup fee is a ploy to avoid investigation? Sounds about right.

Remember that you have people who care about you are worried to send to people?

Godless what a lifestyle coach does is change their occupation to lifestyle coach on Facebook, get a set of business cards made and then get others to pay them to teach them how to become a lifestyle coach. Then they teach others how to become a lifestyle coach and on and on and on....

There are some 'occupations' that you need no background or qualifications whatsoever. You call yourself an X and you can be an X.

I saw one yesterday 'business person at LTW' I thought you were just buying shopping and conning encouraging others to do the same. At what point do you become a 'business person'

I'm surprised more don't call themselves a nutritionist especially in JP. (That isn't a protected title)

And how can you be a global business coach when prior to being in FL you had NOTHING to do with business?
