NEW Link to the Daily Mail article of 20 May 2016 regarding an ex-bot's treatment at the hands of her 'spline' at Forever Living UK

NEW Link to NastashaBarnbotShingles' refutation of the above.

We have our own regularly returning bots to tell us how bullying and hateful we are.

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.

Twunk (AKA ForeverYazoonique) has a bottle of Banana Yazoo in her fridge. She's still too afraid to drink it. Yahoo is important as seems to be the primary retail product for Life Tree World.

Organisations which have 'pre-launch' are frequently aiming to be able to hit the ground running with lots of build up and also 'And finally - what we've all been waiting for........' razzmatazz.

It's a strategy.

On tenterhooks here Forever. I hope you are not alone in the house??

DH is here. The dog is here. The children are asleep but I'm sure they'll wake if the screaming starts.

Right...here goes

Good god it's revolting

It tastes like liquidised banana haribo

DH finished it. I asked for comment. He says its "bananary"

YOU SHOULDN'T BOTH HAVE DRUNK IT!!!!

Who will look after the children and the dog???

Much liquor will now be needed to wash away the taste of that self-sacrifice!

I only had a taste. I literally couldn't take anymore, the sugar! my god! THE SUGAR!!

#TakenItForTheTeam Yazoo

Forever Does the straw enable the Yazoo bottle to relieve itself?

I couldn't bear the thought of taking a swig

It sounds like a two gin problem - at the very least.

I came to support you
But I'm too pissed on actual wine after my sizzle earlier
I may go along to the racecourse tomorrow to heckle hinge and forehead who are presenting. I may pretend to be an actual journalist

I suspect you're in good company tonight, Dolly. Half of the site seems very merry indeed.

I may or may not be a little merry

cozie I remember all rhe same razzmatazz build up with Ariix before it launched. Don't hear much now. Does anyone have a bot?

Found a FL bot whose page is full of crazy health claims. There has to be 100s of these 'infographics' and heaps of text blahing on about snake oil. I'm legit angry. Is this reportable?

Also love 'eye vision'

One more.

These are health claims, right? And some pretty ridiculous ones considering aloe is only recommended for constipation .

Anyone know if this person is worth reporting? Seriously there's so much health-related guff and lies on their page.

BleakBetty yep, obviously that is an outright lie. It's against FL policy - not sure they are even allowed to use testamonial lies in adverts. The ASA has an online form to fill in, also can complain to the authority who regulate medicines and herbal remedies. Report the post to FB expecially if it is posted on a personal rather than business page. Botwatch has all the resources on their FB page - link on page 1 of this thread.

Ariix still smashing the momentum - hard to know what is going on unless you're part of a group as it's all stealth posts. Although stealth posts can reveal very funny links to other wampum slingers. Simply Naturals anyone? Fizzy minerals - who knew?
I really enjoyed this thread discussing the "opportunity" from 2012, have your MLM bingo cards handy:

As someone once sang "same as it ever was, same as it ever was ....."

Bleakbetty, defo report that to the ASA. They will be very interested because the reference to cancer makes it very serious.

Oh bugger. Didn't mean to post those ones! I've reported to remove them and will reupload

That last one you posted is everywhere.
