As a point to note. I actually have a full copy of Andersen's tales, including 'The Emperor's New Clothes'. Truly a 'must read' that. Smile

UNO bot's latest. Interesting that it's "made in the USA" ...... I wonder what the link is?

Government involvement and also a doctor carrying out "live blood analysis".

Yes. As 'mature' markets, especially their regulatory frameworks, become more inimical to MLMs, and they also start to reach saturation, MLM eyes will stray to other targets.

I'm afraid that with your location and surrounding population, you're likely in the vanguard on this one, CAM.

CamelsAndMaus · 05/08/2016 11:30

Cozie sadly I think so too, which is a very scary prospect and my DH is likely to kill me for it (metaphorically) he did ask last year what the fuck I was getting involved in this time (although DD knows what a MLM is so she's safe!).

I have contacts here and I still have the plans in my head (even if they're at 3am) to educate (nearly used "spread the word") so that maybe, just maybe, people won't be sucked into this.

Having a picnic...realised I'm sitting behind an Arbonne bot!

Think positively. Maybe they're 'ex' but the bag is handy. Smile

keeptheaspidistra · 05/08/2016 17:41

Can I share/discuss YouTube videos by specific individuals

cozietoesie · 05/08/2016 18:32

Probably better to contact Timeless Vie or Botwatch, keep. They can disseminate widely. Smile

cozietoesie · 05/08/2016 18:33

Sorry - disseminate relevant information.......

keeptheaspidistra · 05/08/2016 18:51

I shall be deliberately vague. It's probably already been discussed anyway. I've watched a video by a lady who used to sell forever and is now replicating her forever success with another company. Anyhoo.... In the video she's sharing how to trick people into buying sell C9s. Her business model is all about being sneaky and dishonest. She acknowledges that she pitched her products in a way which deliberately stopped her customers from doing their own independent research prior to making a purchase.

Spongebobette · 05/08/2016 18:57

Yep. Found it. Gaaah

CheekySmile · 05/08/2016 19:03

Keep if you keep specific and identifying information out of the discussion it should be fine

CheekySmile · 05/08/2016 19:04

Sorry - wrote that ages ago and didn't post! As you were...

keeptheaspidistra · 05/08/2016 19:10

I don't understand why if your business is all above board, your product is reputable and the market not over saturated why you'd need to be deceitful about what you're selling?

keeptheaspidistra · 05/08/2016 19:11

Thanks cheeky

cozietoesie · 05/08/2016 19:20

That's fair comment, keep. I guess it comes down to volume of sales etc and return for the seller. Smile

keeptheaspidistra · 05/08/2016 19:26

I get that she's trying to prevent people from buying elsewhere (that evidences, to me that there are too many FL reps for anyone to make money honestly) but I think the fact that she refuses to be associated with forever living products is dodgy as.

gottaloveascamhun · 06/08/2016 06:39

I hope for her sake you are right, Cozie!

cozietoesie · 06/08/2016 08:04

Well you've got to have somewhere to store those poo filled nappies, eh? Grin
