Spongebobette I've just searched on FB for a part of that post and found the person immediately so it is pretty identifiable. Still can't work out who original and not-humble bots are though. My googling skills have failed me (and I found the bot who posted the ten min upset video earlier this week within a few minutes just by googling and searching on FB...).

Spongebob there's an identifying name at the top of the screenshot...

Oh dammit I'm not very good at this am I.

Have reported myself.

Sooooo all bad in the land of LTW. Seems you don't get something for nothing after all...

And Forever Living IBOs behaving badly? Who'd have thunk it? Seriously it's so predictable it could almost be funny.

And weird that as soon as anyone leaves it's suddenly "oh she was a terrible manager - had favourites, was a total bitch, worked everyone too hard" - but, of course, only when they leave.

Of course we have it on excellent authority that most, if not all, the top managers are considered to be rule-breakers and bullies. None of them are safe from this treatment.

But it does seem we need to be looking into Ariix a bit more. Let's keep an eye on the new kid on the block

Ok so now traitor humblebot is threatening to go to the papers and the lawyers

Wow, ever so classy. She knows everyone has an IQ right?

I was invited to a herbalife meeting by a friend who's been doing it for 2 plus years. Basically it was her trying to get ppl to join. For some reason I feel really guilty about not going.

Don't feel guilty and definitely don't go. I have a Herbal life bot who's been doing it 15 years and seems very successful. Recently I heard her say that the quality of food is so poor we need the stuff HL provides. I just looked like this

Just be busy or ill or just don't respond at all. I usually find option 3 the best

I do think it's good that people are exposing the bigger leaders, they are the first to name and shame people but when it's done back they're being bullied.
I hope humblebot exposes it all, flp is slowly crumbling and I for one could not be happier. God bless the power of Facebook.

You have won the Internet for today - that is totes motivational #hun xxxxxx

And they have the nerve to call us "haters".#potcallingkettle.

You might usefully ask for her comments on this article, Finding.

I'm sure that her reply could be most instructive. 😀

Here's to watching the aloe cookie crumble! #hun #bullies #bitches #downline #upline #bullshit #thanksForever

You'll see that that article contains the reflection that:

....Its largest shareholder, investor Carl Icahn, obtained from the company the right to raise his stake—currently 18.3%—to as high as 34.9%, and he opined in a statement that it was “time to consider a range of strategic opportunities, including potential roll-ups involving competitors.”.....

'Potential roll-ups', eh?

so exciting, just reading humbles latest post of about an hour ago.

Yay I won the internet!
I think that calls for a fuck yeah!

Here is a challenge from Ariix CEO Fred Cooper...

Potentially interesting uber MLM related development on this thread:
www.mumsnet.com/Talk/am_i_being_unreasonable/2689782-To-wonder-if-this-is-what-people-mean-by-gentle-parenting?watched=1&msgid=62489213#62489213

sulks I posted up about the perceived MLM link with these two a couple of pages back (although it was Arbonne then, I'm assuming they're off to Ariix now from the "expensive" comment).

Isn't that twice now that This Morning has given airtime to MLM businesses; albeit in this case more subtle than the Angela Griffin piece (disclaimer - not in the UK any more and reliant on the Daily Fail for information so might have that wrong).

If so, isn't it a shame that there isn't a real journalist there who might look into the other side of things.

And wouldn't the typical (disclaimer - generalisation) viewer of This Morning be the perfect target market........

Has anyone come across the 'Sundance Family'. As far as I can work out it is mlm with an added helping of woo. Quite hard to work out what they are actually selling.

Good find Lorsa

There definitely seems to be MLM stuff involved somewhere just based on the bog standard "inspirational" FB posts they have on their page.

Reading that and their website, the nearest I could find to determine what; was "green juice loving" so I guess it's FL and the heart logo on their website/FB page is green and yellow. Apparently they're off to Costa Rica now via Thailand in 2012.

They are peddling raw food, free schooling, travelling the world to spread their message, life and business coaching and apparently all based on their online businesses - I wonder if they are the inspiration for the This Morning family?

Would you buy a used car (or business coaching) from this man?

I'll contact my German friend to see if she's heard of them.

Ah. The 'digital nomads'.
