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

I've made a huge mistake, I've clicked on the link and now I can't stop watching.....

Spongebobette · 07/04/2017 12:39

Dora, the bots who were getting cheques yesterday for the smaller amounts like 5k, is it worth them going? Do they qualify for all expenses paid?

cozietoesie · 07/04/2017 12:57

Oh - it's very slick, Tupper. Before long you'd find yourself thinking 'Hey - these guys aren't really so bad'. Lots of hooks. Wink

Spongebobette · 07/04/2017 12:59

Gaaah just had a quick look again
It's hellish

Moose23 · 07/04/2017 13:14

How are they taxed on these cheques? Do the funds go to their limited company (if it exists) or to them personally and they have to state it on their tax returns next April? Or is the cheque a post tax bonus?

I see that eyebrow bot got her cheque .. smaller than last time I think?

cozietoesie · 07/04/2017 13:16

Ooooh - you mentioned the 'T' word, Moose. Grin

CurlsandCurves · 07/04/2017 13:43

Wow this is addictive viewing!

My best friend has just signed up for FL.
I noticed her 'liking' some FL posts and hash tagging so I messaged her and advised her it was dodgy and to do research. She's just replied to say that she became interested because she has seen how Aloe helps animals (works at a vets) and now she has her own business.
Its too late now isn't it? She's one of them Sad

Spongebobette · 07/04/2017 14:56

Yup fairgame she's full metal botted

GrimDamnFanjo · 07/04/2017 15:01

Gawd I'm sorry folks - I shouldn't have posted that link!
I ended up watching till the end but I don't know the Bot code names...
I saw the friend of a friend and she seemed about $10K down from last year.
I was noticing all the tricks they were using during the event - it would be very hard to leave there and not be completely hyped up.

Spongebobette · 07/04/2017 15:10

Last year 158k this year 55k

Hmmmmm

Btw ...Have you noticed how 'grateful' they always are to the company? They are supposedly given part of the profit share to which they have contributed so why the need to be so servile?

Whatsaldigottodowithit · 07/04/2017 15:18

Right I've restrained myself before but can can someone now fill me in on who the bots are. And eyebrow bot? Looking at my local bits all are down on last year. Doesn't seem worth plastering your life over social media for

Whatsaldigottodowithit · 07/04/2017 15:37

Im "soooo excited" to see how they are going to explain a $350,000 drop in a top bits cheque

cozietoesie · 07/04/2017 15:40

Shame on you, Whats. You're not supposed to notice. Wink

Whatsaldigottodowithit · 07/04/2017 15:41

Oh yeah the excuses are coming out already. Seems like most of Forever UK took most of this year off

GrimDamnFanjo · 07/04/2017 15:47

Ah - Sponge the drop is obviously due to spending too much time renovating their dream home?

Spongebobette · 07/04/2017 15:49

Ha Grim you wouldn't think so from the way she's been recruiting all year

Spongebobette · 07/04/2017 15:50

Cor who's dropped by 350k? That's a big drop. It it a UK person?

miffytherabbit1974 · 07/04/2017 16:01

Sitting here somewhat agog as Forever Cult "business owners" pimp their own kids on stage, whilst receiving giant cardboard cheques. We've seen it all before, but it is still a bit jaw-dropping. I wonder if they realise how tacky and crass it all looks? If anything, the rally looks even more cult-like than it did a couple of years ago. It feels sinister and creepy.

miffytherabbit1974 · 07/04/2017 16:07

Also, they've put a whole new meaning to the term "money shot." The close-up zooming in on the cheque amount is positively pornographic.

moreslackthanslick · 07/04/2017 16:17

Won't they all get fined for dragging those poor kids out of school?

DoratheExplorer17 · 07/04/2017 16:32

To answer questions

Sponge - yes it doesn't matter how small your cheque, it's still all expenses paid, but the more volume you did, the higher the cheque and the longer your stay is. Everyone gets 5 nights minimum. Also people who haven't got a cheque but did over 1500 CCs across the year, also get the trip. The more CCs the longer the stay.

Little Sister bot of uber Bot had a cheque last year but it is about 25% less this year

Whatsaldigottodowithit · 07/04/2017 16:58

Yes $350,000 drop a top U.K. Person

Spongebobette · 07/04/2017 17:46

I want to shout
'But you don't get paid a fucking salary you dopes'

MrsGotobed · 07/04/2017 18:22

'But you don't get paid a fucking salary you dopes'

... or sick pay, or paid holiday, or paid compassionate leave, or overtime, or paid training ....
