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

So alongside the new miracle weight loss coffee, all you need is water, a balanced diet and exercise. So what exactly does the coffee do?

cozietoesie · 13/04/2017 12:33

Well may you ask, Tupper. Grin

Imagine doing a live Q and A, alerting people beforehand and everything...... and hardly anyone watches and there aren't any questions

E dinar

Not a pyramid or about building a team at all at all at all I was assured:

"‼️‼️‼️Team building incentive‼️‼️‼️👇
🌟Regardless of the mining changes to this opportunity, we still have people who are keen to join!
🌟Even people who have no laptops are purchasing coins to store in their EDinar accounts as they want to take advantage of the current low coin price!
🌟As an incentive to get back to team building i'm awarding bonus coins paid to yourself for every team member you bring in.
🌟Bring a new team member on board and get 10% back in coins yourself for whatever they buy!!!!
🌟So if a team member of yours buys 100 coins for £29 then you get 10 coins free into your account! (New team members who sign from today only)
‼️LIMITED TIME ON THIS INCENTIVE"

'Imagine doing a live Q and A, alerting people beforehand and everything...... and hardly anyone watches and there aren't any questions'

Eeeeeeek! That would never happen to Danniiiiiii!

cozietoesie · 13/04/2017 14:13

That all sounds quite desperate.

ArbunneHun · 13/04/2017 14:21

The E-Dinar nonsense is so clearly a Ponzi it's unreal. I feel so sorry for the people who are investing & I hope they have the sense not to recruit.

cozietoesie · 13/04/2017 14:28

People see some figures on a screen and think it's real. It depresses me.

fitgirl26 · 13/04/2017 17:29

Scouse/Stoke Bot is accusing his ex "business" partner of (amongst other things) preying on vulnerable people with GCC. Don't you just love it when the Bots start taking the moral high ground while still trying to rip off all their friends with whatever crap they're currently peddling?

Flutteringkites · 13/04/2017 17:40

Kathysclown, I have encountered Rodan and Fields a few months ago.

I met a couple of women from Texas last year when we were all in Las Vegas. I was there at a conference and they were there accompanying their husbands at a concrete convention (sounds boring but hey, at least it isn't a scam!).

We were introduced by a mutual friend who lives in Vegas went running together along the strip early one morning.

They were both lovely. One of them was just opening up her own yoga studio and told all about the issues she'd had setting it up.

We all left Vegas and stayed in touch on Facebook. I eagerly followed the progress of the yoga lady and her studio thinking: 'good on her'.

She actually seems to be doing really well, the timetable is expanding and she is offering sessions at other locations now. Plus, her husband is a big cheese in concrete. Happy days.

Sooo, it was a complete shock to get a voicemail from her pitching Rodan and Fields to me and how it would be a wonderful opportunity for me to get in early in the UK. Shock

She is pushing the MLM hard and I wonder if she is scaring away her yoga punters. I really just do not understand why she'd get involved with it.

She knows what I do for a living in the UK and that it is completely not like Rodan and Fields. She also knows I don't even wear make up or use skin products. So she must be approaching EVERY fucker on her friends list. Utter totally unnecessary desperation. Just why?!

Sorry. That was quite a missive. But cathartic!

cozietoesie · 13/04/2017 17:43

Maybe her yoga wasn't doing quite as well as she was making out?

Spongebobette · 13/04/2017 17:59

fitgirl he's accusing him of a lot worse than ripping ppl off!

Btw what's a 'bacon slm'???

Spongebobette · 13/04/2017 18:00

Sorry I meant a Bacon SNM

fitgirl26 · 13/04/2017 18:04

Sponge - there was another post a few weeks back (now deleted) when they first fell out where his family waded in. Not sure about Bacon but SNM is say no more. Which makes me think of a Monty Python sketch.

Kathysclown · 13/04/2017 18:23

I think the thing that disturbs me the most, Fluttering, is the constant assertion that the business is a blessing from God......

One of my R&F BOTs in particular seems to have built up a massive team in a very short space of time, so has rocketed up the levels, and tied up many, many friends. She is implying that she has suddenly got a significant income (maybe she has? I have no idea). She is putting out FB live videos etc where she just isn't at all like the woman that I knew, it's like she has been completely taken over. She is completely sucked in. And it is all down to her faith in God, of course.....

The 'Thrive' one, though, seems to be the weirdest of the lot!

Flutteringkites · 13/04/2017 18:26

Apparently 'bacon' is prison and scouse slang for a nonce.

Every day is a school day, eh!

Flutteringkites · 13/04/2017 18:28

Omg, Kathy. Maybe that is why she is involved.

His yoga lady is always going on about God and Jesus. I thought that was just a Texas thing but she is very ott about god leading her. Hmm

Spongebobette · 13/04/2017 18:31

Well goodness me. Bacon. I have so much to learn from you all.

Spongebobette · 13/04/2017 18:37

I think Thrive is a line of products by a well known MLM

Spongebobette · 13/04/2017 18:38

Yeah Le Vel

Kathysclown · 13/04/2017 18:56

Sponge - thanks for the info on Thrive - it doesn't sound good.....

Toobusytowee · 13/04/2017 21:49

This talk of Thrive and LeVel just reminded me- Lazy Man and Money got sued by LeVel last year. They tried to stop his articles on their company. He recently won his case. He came on these threads a while ago to explain what was going on.

cozietoesie · 13/04/2017 22:21

Wasn't there some big research project for advertising companies - many years back - which showed that 'knocking copy' hurt the product dishing just as much as the product being criticised? (Hence firms don't use it now.)

fitgirl26 · 13/04/2017 22:23

Currently watching CDWM with fiancé - need to sneak off for a quick watch! Coffee Wars were always going to happen...
