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

Forever changed their rules Arbunne. It was against the rules for a while, but I think they realised how many people they would lose so they relaxed their rules. You could do two as long as you didn't promote both companies at the same event. Loads of people do two now

Great post about MLM's being cults. It made me think about a group I run for people with a rare condition, we have at least one person who occasionally tries to subtly promote some of that pharmanex crap. So I went for a snoop to see if she really did have the condition or was just using the group (I think she does have it).

She's in loads of other groups all selling the same shite. And then I came across this horror. My piss duly boiled. How dare they.

(Not from our group member, btw)

Sorry about the strange crop on this image, but I needed to take out any identifying features (most people on here know who the person is any way.)

As other peeps have mentioned, misguided uber-bot from Liverpool has now gone to stoke and started up a totes-amazeballs, crackalackin new "business opportunity" called LuMa (so inspired!!) The product, it would seem, is Lean Java Bean - an even crappier version of Valentus Slim Roast, perhaps?

This person is so under the spell of all things botty and MLMs it is actually slightly perturbing to watch. As other folks have mentioned, the FB Live videos are especially cringe-inducing. I wonder if they wish that the spinning, out of control carousel would stop, so they could get off? Scary...

Looks like fl are going for the Avon market with their new anti wrinkle/anti aging skin care products

Flutteringkites · 04/04/2017 19:35

Aw! Salon Bot is doing it all for the homeless people! Bless!

DoratheExplorer17 · 04/04/2017 21:12

Have I missed something? I thought Top Salon Bot was a coffee bot who's just come back from Toronto and has the opening line 'hi hi hiiiiii' on her fb lives?? Have I got the wrong one? Could someone message me top salon bots name? Or give me a little clue please? Thank you 😊

Flutteringkites · 04/04/2017 22:13

Hi Dora, that's the one. She did a live tonight and went on about how she wants to help the homeless and one point.

Don't see her down the soup kitchen much though.

cozietoesie · 04/04/2017 22:42

I would be so tempted to message her and, noting how she'd inspired me, ask her to which homeless charity .I should give 'the inheritance' I'd just received. Wink I couldn't, of course, because that would not only be cruel but also an untruth - but it would be hard to resist.

Flutteringkites · 04/04/2017 22:56

Ha!

BSintolerant · 04/04/2017 23:09

I hope Salon Bot stays well away from soup kitchens. She'd only try to recruit the poor souls with promises of six-figure incomes and being able to retire in two years.

DoratheExplorer17 · 04/04/2017 23:10

I've been watching the lives of the yacht parties in Dubai. I've spotted so many people who are not qualifiers who are there. So they've paid for that trip from their own pocket, just to look like they are qualifiers!!!

JaniceBattersby · 04/04/2017 23:30

My FL bot is so #blessed this week huns because her business has given her the time and flexibility to sack her boss and take on a new opportunity to work with children at our village primary school

I was a bit Hmm about this so I asked my eldest, who attends said school if said bot had started teaching in his school.

No. No she hasn't. She's only gone and got a position as a dinner lady #blessed

cozietoesie · 04/04/2017 23:34

Poor woman likely needed the cash. Did she give up a previous J.O.B with longer hours?

cozietoesie · 04/04/2017 23:35

That's very sad, Dora.

imNew1985 · 04/04/2017 23:46

Hi I'm new to MLM as in I've been freaked out by a friend who has suddenly got an obsession with #buildanempire #beyourownboss etc

Posting pics of £5million homes in the Caribbean. And I think is being groomed or is trying to sell NuSkin but doesn't say on FB that it's NuSkin and Epoch products. Is this MLM. Can I help her get away?

cozietoesie · 04/04/2017 23:54

You could try reading some of the pieces in botwatchblog. This one for example.

imNew1985 · 05/04/2017 00:05

Thanks. Wow she's fallen into heavy stuff. I'm not sure I can help. It's quite a game and she's vulnerable. New baby and emotionally abusive partner. She's not in a strong place. I think she's really got into this NuSkin big time

cozietoesie · 05/04/2017 00:34

It might be that you can't help - at the moment, anyway. Sometimes they're in too deeply, too fast. If you read the various Botwatch and Timeless Vie pieces, they might give you some insight.

Has she been a close friend?

Spongebobette · 05/04/2017 08:02

I confess to being a tiny bit obsessed with moved -back-to-Stoke-bot

On a 'live' he says his new MLM is not free to join and he'd never join a company that was free to join

Eh?

Spongebobette · 05/04/2017 08:04

And what does this even mean??

'There's something wrong with your character if opportunity controls your loyalty'

?????

imNew1985 · 05/04/2017 09:47

Yes very close - childhood. But she's moved 5 hours drive away. So hard to see what life is like for her now.

Spongebobette · 05/04/2017 11:00

It's all kicking off on the Edinar group page

If your computer is turned off or goes to sleep your interest is not paid

Someone's just had 0.006% interest paid (in the pretend money of course) and isn't happy

MrsGotobed · 05/04/2017 11:02

Dora how can you find out who are qualifiers and who isn't please?

I'm fascinated with all the Dubai stuff "Look what FL have given us now! Look what FL have laid on for us, all paid for, everything included ...blah blah blah"

I feel like replying "yes but it's cost you really hasn't it? If not money, it's cost you your dignity, your morals and self-respect "

Spongebobette · 05/04/2017 11:26

Ha ha haaaaaa ha haaaaaaa

'I've just been told you will only get 0.65% if your computer is left on for 24 hours and you do a coin transfer. If your computer sleeps it it proportioned so if your computer sleeps for an hour you will lose an hours interest. So it's 0.2708% per hour.
It's still a great investment and I'm sticking with it.'

cozietoesie · 05/04/2017 12:04

Let me understand, then. So they're actually renting your computer?
