Lets keep monitoring these pesky MLMs, shining a light on their nefarious activities, and supporting bots who realise the truth and need support.

Good to know toobusy,thank you!

My bot is on her way to Dubai. Carefully posting photos on FB of course. Does anyone know if FL post the cheque amounts online?

cozietoesie · 02/04/2017 10:58

The big ones they have - in the past. (You get a sort of international 'league table'.) The little ones, I think not, officially - although there are often enough photos and films of the award ceremonies going around.

Can anyone pm me any FL bots I can discretely stalk?
Would love to see what life is like in FLP these days...

DoratheExplorer17 · 02/04/2017 17:15

I've seen the first FL bot excuse for getting a lower cheque this year.....

'I took a year off'

cozietoesie · 02/04/2017 17:20

Well leaving aside the cans of worms in that statement, has she admitted how much lower? Wink

DoratheExplorer17 · 02/04/2017 17:38

This bot has done a post asking people to comment with their guesses bout what their cheque will be. It's mostly other bots commenting by the looks of it and very interestingly most of the people are guessing numbers around double the amount of last year. So none of them think this bot took a year off?? No comment about how much lower from the bot except it will be 'waaaaaaay lower' than the numbers everyone is guessing

Jonsey32 · 02/04/2017 18:19

Which bot is it?!

SSDGM · 02/04/2017 18:47

Ewww, "comment how much you think I earn".... how incredibly tacky

MrsGotobed · 02/04/2017 19:22

What gets me is that a local school mum bot #sackedtheboss ages ago. She seems to be visiting her team all the time including those that are a 3-4 hr drive away. She works evenings and weekends doing pamper evenings and boasts about how FL apparently enables her to send her children to private school etc. She eats, breathes and sleeps FL .....yet she's never had a whiff of a free trip Hmm.

If it's the same old people going to South Africa, Dubai and wherever then can these lowly bots who are working their butts off for nothing not see this?

Spongebobette · 02/04/2017 19:27

They are ALL tacky, all of them

And don't get me stater on the 'Forever kids' or 'forever girls' photos, why do these bots think it's acceptable to use their children as a marketing tool? Their FB pages are public and their children can be identified.
Reprehensible

Spongebobette · 02/04/2017 19:27

*get me started

ClaudiaWankleman · 02/04/2017 19:34

This bot doesn't even pretend that the business is about selling stock... Hmm

Who who who?!?!

cozietoesie · 02/04/2017 19:41

Jonsey

Be very careful. These threads are subject to 'special guidelines' due to threats of litigation. Even PMs have to be used as if they were 'open posts'.

I'm sorry 'bout that.

Jonsey32 · 02/04/2017 19:42

Oooooh Shock I didn't know that.
Sad

Claudia, that sounds (a) impossible (recruiting six in one month!) and (b) soul destroying.

cozietoesie · 02/04/2017 20:09

'impossible' and 'soul destroying' sound like fair descriptors of MLM activity generally?

SSDGM · 02/04/2017 20:29

If any of you fancy a giggle, series 9, episode 4 of "It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia" - Mac and Dennis Buy A Timeshare.. Dee gets involved with "Invigoron" and much hilarity ensues...

ClaudiaWankleman · 02/04/2017 20:50

Cozie What can we and can't we post then?

cozietoesie · 02/04/2017 21:43

Nothing identifying individual MLM adherents would be a fair start, I guess - eg including obscuring specific names etc on screen shots and so on. I'm no expert though. Other posters may be able to advise you more fully.

Toobusytowee · 02/04/2017 23:37

I just put up a little blog post on Isagenix. I started it months ago and it's been sitting in the draft section. I figured I might as well get it out there. So here it is-

If anyone has any information they think I should add, then please let me know. Thanks

cozietoesie · 02/04/2017 23:45

Well done, Toobusy. I'll read it in detail later. Smile

Tupperwarelid · 03/04/2017 17:56

I'm looking forward to seeing what new products are previewed at the fl global rally. Aloe Vera coffee anyone?

Jonsey32 · 03/04/2017 19:41

I put in a complaint last week to then ASA regarding a well know not and a cancer claim.
They've replied saying that it breaches codes and they'll be addressing it.
I have also emailed ref caret bot to relevant authorities and am awaiting feedback .
