We have our own regularly returning bots.

Glossary:

Bots: our affectionate name for victims of the MLM racket

MLM: Multi-level Marketing schemes - essentially pyramid schemes that are just legal because you sell a product. Reliant upon constant recruitment despite there not being enough people in the world to go beyond about 12 levels if everyone recruited 6.

Downline/Upline: the people you recruited and those who recruited you (going up and down the pyramid inverted funnel)

Timeless Vie: Parody of MLM schemes (though you might spot one in particular) that also carries out fearless investigative work

Hommetrepreneur: also excellent parody site focussing on the menz

BotWatch: Rather more serious, keeps an eye on what the Bots are claiming next, particularly in reference to health and income claims. Also fearless.

Inverted Funnel: Timeless Vie is NOT a pyramid - it's an inverted Funnel, OK?

Eyes: Our former member Eyespying who knows LOTS about MLM schemes. He's still our very own #manhun.

PS - count how many times other people's names are used in the course of conversation.

There currently seems to be a rash of fb posts on the theme of "One man's dream to make a difference has blossomed into a truly global phenomenon - changing lives around the world every day through our wonderful business and our charity. Happy 38th birthday to Forever"
Deluded or what?

hey team, i updated the blog post about how Bots pay for FB likes etc with a comparison of TV's FB page stats vs a certain FL top bot. Think you guys will like it ;)

Go the resistance!

crumpets I wonder if 38 year-old Forever Living classes itself as nearly middle aged?

Past it would be a better description.

crumpets well, i'm certainly sooo inspired by the anti-gay marriage campaign someone supported with his MLM earnings.

Social media has to be kept active so, for MLM activity, MLM adherents have to say something to keep trying to have the name out there. Of course, they might be a little limited in what they can say in the current climate?

I just feel tremendously sorry for all those average people who might have been sold a construct which just isn't going to work for them no matter how hard they think they're trying.

Ok, so I must have missed the JP lady, I only heard the wishy washy interview with the FL big cheque earner whom we all know rather well.... What time and what was the link for the part with the JP lady please?

Strangely, the FL big cheque earner did not wish to reveal how much money she had made this year... Odd considering the whole fanfare over the bonus cheques and league tables for the earners etc...

last Excellent article, and further proof that the marketing behind MLM schemes is based on smoke and mirrors.

mrsh have a listen from about 36 minutes. Where is the nearly middle aged FL cheque earner's interview?

No, not the nearly middle aged cheque earner, the just turned middle aged one....

Here is the exact moment the interview with the top fl bot commences.....

Oh dear JP bot.... Could not accept the triangular aspect of her bizness could she?

Doesnt recruit friends or family either yet introduced the opportunity to her sister?

That interview was terrible... Again, really wishy washy, letting one pushy person talk at the expense of the others etc... They didnt delve into facts and figures at all, a poorly scripted, poorly planned and poorly
Orchestrated interview.

Its about time, that a serious journalist took this on, a proper documentary is needed here, proving once and for all that these schemes are all just 'legal' pyramids amd exposing what goes on behind the scenes, journalists, ask us, ask TV, ask Botwatch, lazyman, Eyes etc.... The info is all there, we have it! Dont waste yet another opportunity to stop people being ripped off and conned into these schemes!!!

The government needs to be pressed and embarrasses into taking a much deeper look at these organisations. C'mon journos and docu makers, you are better than this....

Embarrassed..:

"N" from Oxfordshire. Hmmm... rings a bell.

Yes stop another humble one ...

🙄🙄🙄

'Some of the most people come disguised as friends and family'. Brainwashing at its best.

Oh gotta I have actually seen that meme doing the rounds...

Its ok though, I have kindly corrected it for them....

Loving that meme mrsh

Just checking in!

Been looking back though the threads, can anyone send me the 5k Africa cheque link please? X

An Ariiiiiiiiix bit just posted this pic, exclaiming gleefully how wonderful this company is because you can be paid 7 levels down.
She's better get recruiting....

*she'd

Ooooh... Pretty spirograph pictures!
