sponge, No I realised then that I could lose friends that i loved if I didn't back off. I told my upline about it and she suggested I give her a pupp boxHmm I told her I value my friendship more.

And yet she was one of my best Avon customers.

Spongebobette · 09/11/2016 10:15

Ah so in the end her reaction, although tough, was helpful in the long run?

Babblehag · 09/11/2016 10:53

Yeah, to be fair a lot of my friends much preferred it when I sold Avon, I'd just chuck a book on the table when we met for coffee and there was no pressure, where as with fl it was a case of saying things like ooohhh i have something that might help with that ailment, or i could give you an opportunity to earn extra money for xmas, it was like I'd turned into this twat with a load of useless information, I was like a frigging walking infomercial with a job opportunity. I hated what I'd become, and now because I'm back with Avon, I find myself still saying shit like ooohhh Avon do something similar to that, and feel the need to apologise for trying to hard sell.

Babblehag · 09/11/2016 10:54

I noticed that the invites waned when I was fl.

Babblehag · 09/11/2016 10:56

Also an A fb group I'm on just got trolled by a Valentus rep. I didn't have the time to rant on and link to botwatch and timeless vie before it was pulled. bugger.

Twunk · 09/11/2016 18:44

Awkward last night...having posted a rant (this one) on FB yesterday I then went out in the evening to a big event. And at the train station, also on way to big event, I bumped into my Herbalife bot! Yay.

No idea if she had seen it but it was all I could think about.

I think she knows my feelings though.

BSintolerant · 09/11/2016 23:32

Twunk, that is an awesome post isn't it? I love the way he deals with bullybots.

Toobusytowee · 10/11/2016 09:14

TINA have been investigating the false health claims that are rife in MLMs. We knew this already but it's great that people are noticing and putting it out there.

cozietoesie · 10/11/2016 10:27

Thanks for that, Toobusy.

Well done TINA - and you all of course. Smile

Helipad · 10/11/2016 13:28

Thanks everyone, apologies for the late reply.

I've just decided to ignore her for the time being, i.e. no reply, no acknowledgment. I'd love to tell her what I really think about FL but since everyone knows everyone where I live, I just can't. It could horribly backfire on me as people local to me are incredibly supportive and lot of them genuinely think that these FL bots are proper small businesses and buy quite many products.

For instance few of my local friends have bought Clean 9 several times now and rave about it. They don't see anything sinister behind it at all. And this is a naice area so people are willing to shell out £12.50 for hand cream and not to bat an eyelid.

cozietoesie · 10/11/2016 14:02

Stay strong. Smile

cozietoesie · 10/11/2016 14:05

PS - and if you're ever 'wavering' about the 'efficacy' of products, have a read of Timeless Vie and Botwatch. Grin

Spongebobette · 10/11/2016 21:44

Urghhhhh

I see one of the top bots (who is constantly showing off about her new house) has turned what she describes as cyber bullying by jealous trolls into an inspirational talk

Perhaps we are not hateful? Perhaps it is not jealousy? Perhaps there are people out there who can see through your 'attraction marketing' and can see the shameless exploitation of new recruits which provides your income.

Shame on you. Shame.

Twunk · 11/11/2016 08:16

She's a fine one to talk about bullying! What a joke. If you're reading this - you're known as one of the nastiest of the Bots, utterly 2-faced and manipulative.

Pot. Kettle. Black.

Twunk · 11/11/2016 08:19

lol sorry I am being hateful here but seriously she's milking a few comments for all she's worth. It's cynical and manipulative.

BSintolerant · 11/11/2016 08:31

Hateful? No, just intelligent, educated, savvy, sassy folk who can see straight through the culty bullshit pedalled by mlms.

And if anyone is in doubt about whether they've been drawn into a commercial cult, have a look at the Cultwatch website. This page is very interesting: www.cultwatch.com/howcultswork.html

BSintolerant · 11/11/2016 08:44

As for being jealous of someone who sells aloe vera for a living - give me strength! What's so fulfilling, intellectually stimulating and life enhancing about that? I'll just stick with my very rewarding career that I love, thank you.

Sack the boss? I am the fucking boss! 😈 Let's sack the bots instead.

Toobusytowee · 11/11/2016 09:18

Has anyone wondered how Trump is going to affect MLMs in the US? He wants less regulation of businesses and he has form for being involved in MLMs himself. Or is it best not to think about it?

Spongebobette · 11/11/2016 09:39

I am mostly wrapped up in a blanket rocking back and forth trying not to think about Trump 😩

Spongebobette · 11/11/2016 09:41

Btw that bot I mentioned will, through her inspirational talk about overcoming bullies, manage to further brainwash her adherents into believing that anyone who asks questions about FL or criticises it should be ignored and labelled as a bully

Wicked wicked stuff.

cozietoesie · 11/11/2016 11:12

They've more or less got to say something - anything positive - to answer the points that are probably being raised by people on the periphery. I wouldn't worry about it overmuch. Smile

Spongebobette · 11/11/2016 11:18

But the damage these uber bots cause to women by selling them a dream boils my piss

I use the word uber advisedly as it seems to be a favourite word of this particular exploiter.

cozietoesie · 11/11/2016 11:20

Yes. Just keep on going though.

Twunk · 11/11/2016 11:36

Oh yes Trump is an MLM Bastard. As if I didn't need any more reasons to despise the man.

cozietoesie · 11/11/2016 12:14

Not at all. Someone just has to explain to El Presidente Electo that MLMs are too powerful and wealthy for him to touch, even in his new capacity. Wink
