Welcome all to the new thread

Bloody hell they have a 'Chief Mindset Officer'

When I was doing Forever a lady contacted me who had left forever to join arrix

She asked if I wanted to switch
I did look at the info to be honest as was desperate to get out of forever but I wasn't clear what it was all about
the packages to join were £400 almost £600 and one at a £1000!!!!!!!
No way was I doing that
I had suspicions it would be out of the frying pan and into the fire !!!!

I ignored all the messages but had another today saying it's now £199 I wonder if that's linked to the DSA stuff?

Hmm another hashtag is #ifyouknowyouknow

Just felt super smug when I've added links to BotWatch and Timeless Vie into a friends FB comment about a couple of MLMs and opened up a massive can of worms there

Cue the start of discussions around pointy triangles and cults.

Oh I love these threads being able to help spread the word!! I would never have been able to enlighten people had it not been for you guys

In one of the videos I mentioned earlier, one of the Ariix bots was actually crying. I don't understand what the crying, over-emotional stuff is all about. It's off-putting to me.

Well done bumping along. If they start spouting crap, just send them the link for BotWatchBlog's MLM Bingo post. If they come up with any more stupid comments, let me know and I'll add it to the post. I had to add a few new ones this morning.

I've just stumbled across an unheard of MLM here (or at least I don't recall it having been mentioned on these threads):

Exitus Elite is a membership-based online business that has been "built from the ground up" with your success in mind. Membership gives you access to everything you need to run a successful online business, including replicated websites, lead capture pages, auto responders, resources and training. Our systems monitor all aspects of your business, making things incredibly simple.

Now you can earn $1,000 PROFIT over and over again by offering memberships to others, who then purchase the "Genesis" product package from you. The best part is we have eliminated the main cause of failure, the main problem faced by 90% of the people trying to make money online; that is, they simply CANNOT SELL!

With our systems, there is NO EXPLAINING, SELLING OR RECRUITING! Just spread the word about Exitus Elite and watch YOUR income, along with your lifestyle, start to improve almost instantly!

It does not matter if you are a seasoned "pro" or just starting in the online business industry, Exitus Elite is exactly the business you have been looking for!

It seems to me that the bit about the business being "built from the ground up" omitted the bit about it coming to a pointy bit at the top, like a 3D triangle!

Oh, and the Genesis product package that people purchase from you (even though there's "no selling") costs a mere $1995.00 and seems to consist of videos or audio ie. no tangible items so no manufacturing or distribution costs, just a press of the "SEND" button at HQ for a mere $1995.00

It's just culminated in someone writing on a Bots Page

"The only thing selling this overpriced shite will earn you is less friends"

I think that's the online equivalent of 'dropping the mic'

Norbert, that reads like a textbook example Ponzi scheme.

Time for a new Freddie Fred?
Just switching on the computer!

Fred 22 is ready for you

bumping I have the urge to do this every day, high praise to the person who has done it!

kamchatka'I really loathe the way the bots fawn over inspirational quotes from the likes of Steve Jobs.

HE WAS NEVER IN A FRIGGIN MLM.

There, I feel better now.

It would appear new lows have been reached by FLP bots.
An ex bot had a fake account post all over her FB and sent threatening and rude messages about her family. What on earth is this behaviour?

Delurker2016 people in stressful situations do some odd and aggressive things. I've been a web admin in my spare time from when the web only came in black and white text.
I still do it now, it fits with my job (I work from home, I'm not in an mlm though), its my office banter.
When I've confronted members for online bullying they often admit they are under a lot of stress. It must be stressful in Forever at the moment, what with the cc changes, the articles in the national press and the competition from other mlms.

So as much as we think, 'evil cows' Were they like that before they joined Forever? Probably not.
What you can do is to report the profile to Facebook. If you can get other people to do the same, it might flag it up so that a hooman looks at it. (the reporting system on Facebook is mostly automated).

delurker I've come across that on Twitter and FB. Obvious who has created the profile (often the very person who the attack is aimed at) stress has been one trigger but it can and does create a buzz around the comments, lots of empathy directed at the person, they are centre stage.

The online world is a strange one.

it is a strange one, one of the most horrible trolls I ever knew from web admin (who sent threats to my partner in private messages), is now a great friend of ours. His web etiquette is awful! I've always taken everything with a hefty pinch of salt. And I've been called all sorts too and had no end of nasty threats.

It does seem to have ruffled a lot of feathers these changes.
I dont believe the person in question would troll herself.
And so the saga continues.

Just a reminder to say we're on thread 22 now! Link about 8-10 posts up. We have Yazoo & Semolina

LTW from experience. Unethical practises. witholding bonuses (except for those at the top of course). £165 for a hamper with end of line products...enough pink lipsticks to hold a barbie party....products we just don't use as essentials. Promise of 20k new products in may which haven't appeared . Members waiting 6/7 weeks for deliveries of products they can buy in pound land . A call centre based in India that offer nothing but lies to questions and no email responses. Steer clear please all. I've earned my bonuses which I was told I could withdraw on 16th June. Now it appears to withdraw I'm being asked to spend another £165 on shopping in order to be active this month. LTW are run on false promises, carrot dangling and unlawful practises. I am only one of 100,s that can testify to this

Good to have you posting, yes. You might want to contact BotWatch or Timeless Vie with the details of your experiences?

PS - we're on Thread 24 now. With any luck, it will be at the top of the board when you return.

I will do. Thankyou
