Have you heard from your relative at all, CAM ? Was she sucked in as you feared she might be?

cozie I think I got to her in time. I hope so anyway.

darceybussell · 25/07/2016 06:55

They are all always so shocked and appalled that someone can buy bonuses and the company won't do anything about it.

The company don't do anything about it because regardless of what their contracts say, the whole POINT is to get you all to buy as much stuff as possible! You are the CUSTOMER! They don't care as long as you are all buying loads of make up!

ForeverYazoonique · 25/07/2016 08:25

Exactly Darcey - it's win-win for them - more "successful" "business owners" to parade about, more overpriced mascaras purchased

CamelsAndMaus · 25/07/2016 08:35

Aaargh. Computer ate my post. Trying again.

No-one came back on what it was that "little" Jimmy Osmond was cooking on Masterchef but a bit more Googling this morning has come up with Melaleuca and this guy.... member of the ASA Chamber of Commerce........ inferences are drawn at your own peril ;)

Oh and this chat board (although I've not tracked down yet where LJO or his wife is actually linked to the stuff). Looks like in 2014 tea tree was the aloe vera of its time (and yes, I've tried it for headlice). Interesting www address which I've just noticed.

Not fair. 33 threads and no bots. Then, like buses, they all come around at once. Think cousin is safe. Friend of niece no idea but now ex colleague (Finland) is FBing this: IElevate

Ok. No-one likes me (it's ok, I support Millwall) but the last link I posted lead me down a rabbit hole.

According to the "legal" stuff on her site I can't post her name/the site/a link/but from what I've traced so far she's now based in Dubai, via London and elsewhere in the UK. And she does a nice duck face.

I understand that the focus here is to stop all of this stuff in the UK but it is far, far wider.

CamelsAndMaus · 25/07/2016 15:33

Oh and. She was/is a teacher.

Spongebobette · 25/07/2016 16:38

I like you CAM.
In a virtual way, of course.

CamelsAndMaus · 25/07/2016 17:27

Thanks sponge

I'm on holiday as you well know! Can't be talking when have sun lotion to apply...

ForeverYazoonique · 25/07/2016 17:31

But also terribly fond of you Camels Grin 🐫🐫🐫

Spongebobette · 25/07/2016 18:03

I love all of you

This has been a wonderful series of threads and has already had an impact, as we can see.

I came here after googling MLMs and you were already several threads in. It was really helpful to me as someone I knew had become a full blown FL bot.

Incidentally she has just disappeared from FB, both her personal and her 'global business coach' pages have gone and I have no way of contacting her now, so am hoping she is OK 😞

cozietoesie · 25/07/2016 18:07

She might need some private time to re-assess things.

She'll know how to get back in touch with you when she's ready?

Spongebobette · 25/07/2016 18:13

Yes Cozie she knows where I am.

I wanted her to see the light but she was SO defensive a few months back when I very gently questioned FL and came back with long posts full of bot bingo phrases. I don't know what's happened but I have my fingers crossed that she got out before being too badly burnt

cozietoesie · 25/07/2016 18:17

If you have no way of contacting her, there's nothing you can do. You just have to be open to her coming back and hope that she hasn't been damaged and/or entered another MLM as substitute.

Spongebobette · 25/07/2016 19:08

Oh Cozie I hadn't thought of that. She was very 'I know MLMs have a bad reputation but FL is different and I love the products'

cozietoesie · 25/07/2016 19:26

Adherents sometimes do swap MLMs - they become used to being in an 'in group', to the approbation and love-buzz.

If she was a good friend, you'll just have to keep your fingers crossed and stay open to good faith re-contact.

gottaloveascamhun · 25/07/2016 20:10

My younique bot has just left for actilabs. She was exhausted what with all the backstabbing, bitching and cheating. She'll be fine in another MLM then!

cozietoesie · 25/07/2016 20:17

It's a sort of 'lurching', I fear. You think that one MLM is mean and then the next one woos you with flowers and such type promises. So you lurch into that instead. Sad

ForeverYazoonique · 25/07/2016 21:45

Exactly Cozie - the next one will be different! And you're in at the beginning to time to be at the top of that pyramid! You've seen humblebots 1&2 do it, you've seen a castle, you've seen the cheques and you can see how it's done - this time if you sell your soul, work 19 hours a day, your face fits and you have unbelievably good luck it will be you!

How hard can it be? Hmm

Delurker2016 · 25/07/2016 23:32

I've just scrolled through my newsfeed and refreshed 4 times and all I see is 'join my team' 'something big is coming' 'do you want to work from home'

I know I used to do it but honestly it drives me mad now, I can get 20-30 notifications from just 1 person alone!

Sorry. Rant over. As you were #huns

cozietoesie · 25/07/2016 23:46

20-30 notifications over what period of time?

CamelsAndMaus · 26/07/2016 02:55

Ok - wobble over (and I really do support Millwall - no one likes us, we don't care ;) )

This morning's MLM international report brings you the Philippines and the Unlimited Network of Opportunities or UNO.

For the bingo lovers there is a Dubai trip incentive, a mega sizzle and the special guest stars "board of directors" (not sure if they're a dance group or something but I doubt they'd beat the dancing dog on BGT)

They're also apparently celebrating 5 years of success in Qatar.

And here's a nice little price list from them:

600 PHP by the way, converts to about 10 pounds UK.

And this lot are in Nigeria as well.
