We have lots of Bots suddenly realising LTW is a poorly run scam and they'd better leave before it becomes so obvious they will go down with them!

DO NOT TRUST THESE PEOPLE. Many are serial MLMers with their next get-rich-quick scheme being lined up.

It's quite amusing seeing the furious back-peddling though

Indeed it is! Sits back and opens popcorn

My dear friend who was sucked into Forever Living last year has finally the light. She told me she'd been reading a book on cults and alarm bells started to ring.

And now she's reading these threads, which have confirmed her worst fears.

Another small victory for the MLM resistance! Grin

cozietoesie · 10/09/2016 23:55

Good for her. Smile

I hope she hasn't lost too much, though.

cozietoesie · 10/09/2016 23:59

I'm saddened actually, Twunk. It looks as if they'll be 'encouraged' to move to other organisations. Organisations which might not benefit them. Sad

Annie65 · 11/09/2016 00:01

Bs so glad to hear about your friend, hope she is ok and, like Cosie said, hasn't lost too much money.Smile

BSintolerant · 11/09/2016 00:39

She admitted to me that she'd lost more money than she could ever hope to make. She used to go to those happy clappy presentations every week which were a three-hour round trip, and was prevailed upon to go to every success day on the calendar as well.

Luckily she has a real business (not MLM related) which has taken off in the last six months. She can't stop torturing herself with the realisation that it would have taken off even sooner if she hadn't got involved with Forever Living in the first place. Hindsight is always 20/20. At least she won't be lining the top bot's humble pockets again.

Ooh, I like #sackthebot

Annie65 · 11/09/2016 12:45

BS, tell your friend not to torture herself about whats happened in the past. Think about now and the fact she has had to courage to come away from the cults. Im so glad too that she hasn't been tempted to go into another one like a lot of them have. She should be VERY proud of herself.Smile

cozietoesie · 11/09/2016 12:58

Yes indeed. It's a sort of 'I was foolish then, but I'm not so foolish now. I've learned.' Smile

BSintolerant · 11/09/2016 14:29

Thank you Annie and Cozie, that's a very good way of looking at a situation like this. 💐

She's too intelligent to get sucked into another network marketing sewer.

cozietoesie · 11/09/2016 15:53

Good for her. Smile I'm glad she's reading the threads here - maybe one day she'll even feel able to post?

Much respect for her anyway.

Moomoomonkey · 11/09/2016 18:34

Juice plus have a fantastic new product coming out!
So I guess more advertising and pushy posts! I cannot wait!

gottaloveascamhun · 11/09/2016 20:36

Oooh what could the new product be? Intrigued!

Moomoomonkey · 11/09/2016 20:58

Apparently never been done before!
I googled vegan omega 3, there are loads!

cozietoesie · 11/09/2016 22:56

So it seems. All will doubtless be made clear idc.Smile

Annie65 · 12/09/2016 12:27

One of the top ex-FL bots is now in two mlms, Valentina and Ariix. She has only just got into Ariix and smashed 7 promotions in a week. Someone asked her if she could guarantee getting 7 promotions in a week, her reply was "no only if you work hard". She is slagging off FL but it all sounds the same to me. Seems like we are not the only haters now does't it ??????Hmm

cozietoesie · 12/09/2016 13:05

If you're 'head-hunted', there are frequently......inducements offered. I doubt MLMs are much different.

Toobusytowee · 13/09/2016 04:22

If anyone would like to contribute to a fund for CAM's family, please let Twunk or myself know. Her friend is collecting money to help cover the costs of repatriating her back to the UK and for her funeral. Thanks.

Spongebobette · 13/09/2016 09:58

Toobusy please share the details with me, is there a JustGiving page?

Twunk · 13/09/2016 11:09

Yes sponge I will pm you

cozietoesie · 13/09/2016 14:21

Goodness. Please share with me, Toobusy.

cozietoesie · 13/09/2016 14:26

Sorry - or Twunk of course.

cozietoesie · 13/09/2016 14:52

Thank you, Twunk.

keeptheaspidistra · 13/09/2016 19:48
