Still going strong here at bot watch HQ on MN!

Previous thread here

Botwatch on Wordpress and on Facebook

Timeless Vie on Wordpress and on Facebook

Eyespeying's Blog aka #manhun, even if he's been banned by MNHQ

Hommetepreneur on Facebook

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.

twat 😂😂

I've never seen one like that before! It's enough to bring tears to your eyes.

bestegg · 13/06/2016 20:51

I always miss the scandals.

Clearly i need to up my botwatching skills

Spongebobette · 13/06/2016 20:52

Dolly can you share any of this? I'd love to see some (anonymised) screenshots

smiinky · 13/06/2016 21:18

Wait, what? Accusations of fraud and deception in a pyramid fraud? Whatever next? Were people expecting ethics and fairness? Fraud is as fraud does.

ForeverYazoonique · 13/06/2016 21:20

Exactly Smiinky

Turns out people in frauds don't make good friends! Who's have thunk it?

DollyTwat · 13/06/2016 21:26

I can't I'm afraid
If the person wants to share it, they know about here and Botwatch though so it's up to them. I wouldn't want to cause more upset than they've already had

Spongebobette · 13/06/2016 21:44

understood, Dolly

ForeverYazoonique · 13/06/2016 21:45

There were some public FB posts but quickly taken down after much threatening! It would be entertaining if it wasn't so sinister and, to be frank, a rather unedifying. It's amazing how people behave when protecting their fraud.

OP posts:
cozietoesie · 13/06/2016 22:22

I see that Timeless Vie and BotWatch likes are still rising? Smile

cozietoesie · 13/06/2016 22:24

I wonder whether some people who previously might only have read them are now starting to 'break cover'?

TwatbadgingCuntfuckery · 13/06/2016 22:29

The alleged accusations of alleged fraud. Would this be to do with certain unnamed bots claiming their 6figure income was all through forever living when the reality it was through selling mindset books, CDs, training days and/or stationery/planners/organisers etc aimed at the network marketer?

I have seen a few raised eyebrows amongst my flock of bots.

DollyTwat · 13/06/2016 23:12

I would hazard a guess that there's an exodus of bot's due to the recent bad publicity and the change in rules for cc, the bullying to make sales has become vicious as top bot's guard their incomes and rented houses. Worker bots are feeling that and leaving

But you can't just leave FL like a normal job, you appear to have to be publicly humiliated and harassed for months afterwards

It's shocking and quite frankly pathetic

Barnbot if you're reading this (which you are) just let people leave. Spread the word amongst your top bot friends.

Because they will all go public at some point if the bullying doesn't stop. I'm not easily shocked, but I have been this weekend and today.

Delurker2016 · 13/06/2016 23:33

There's definitely underhand tactics and sabotaging going on at the moment.
More and more people have the confidence to speak up which is thanks to these threads and TV.

Been quiet for a while and just watching in the background, seen some really shocking revelations recently with people paying off people to resign and saying its a scheme. There are no morals.

Hope everyone is good!

cozietoesie · 14/06/2016 00:00

Be ready for an MLM razzmatazz of some kind.

ForeverYazoonique · 14/06/2016 00:04

I do love a razzmatazz! And a sizzle.

cozietoesie · 14/06/2016 00:06

Now is that Forever speaking or are we hearing a milkshake boom? Grin

DollyTwat · 14/06/2016 00:08

They're lacing the Yazoo with bot drugs

Forever stop drinking it

toriap2 · 14/06/2016 05:55

Is there a new MLM out that focuses on shopping? Just seen a FB post where you can earn up to £2000 pm just by shopping?

cozietoesie · 14/06/2016 07:31

tori

Who ever made money by buying things?

cozietoesie · 14/06/2016 07:35

Although, Yes. Some people seem to believe it.

smiinky · 14/06/2016 07:56

Well it isn't exclusive to FLP is it? The whole thing is based on Amway, exactly the same went on there, I recall Cubiczirconiabossybabe saying it went on in her mlm too, perhaps it's slightly easier to conceal it in a smaller fraud (I mean mlm), FLP is so big in the UK, now, they've had the rug pulled from under them with the cc changes and its now proving a bit harder to keep the lid on stuff as the bots are so pissed off.

cozietoesie · 14/06/2016 08:09

I expect the UK branches of MLMs to start circling the wagons soon.

They would have preferred an 'elegant refocussing' of business on the less developed markets, I reckon, with the UK left to 'tick over'. It looks as if it's going downhill rather more quickly than that, though, so they'll probably try to recover the situation.

Toobusytowee · 14/06/2016 08:17

Toriap2, google 'Botwatchblog life tree world' for an explanation of the shopping MLM.

cozietoesie · 14/06/2016 08:41

I see that botwatch's likes are rising as well? Smile
