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 treated myself to half an hour and am 😳
Think he has a new 'bird' already according to comments. You can understand though;clearly a great catch so never going to be single for more than a few minutes 😂

PennyP87 · 14/04/2017 22:20

He's going to be an 'escourt'..priceless 😆

BSintolerant · 14/04/2017 23:52

An escourt? Is that some kind of electronic cleaning device - a scrubber of some sort? Grin

JaniceBattersby · 14/04/2017 23:55

Oh God, I've also resisted getting dragged into watching the coffeebot saga but, seeing as it's a BH weekend, in for a penny....

Could you PM me the name too please Tupperwarelid?

SSDGM · 15/04/2017 03:06

Well that escalated quickly! 😂😂😂

I snorted a bit when I saw he now has to get a regular job to pay the rent. They guy is a spiv, plain and simple.

Interesting to see on his now ex's rant that more than 1 ex bot is telling the truth about MLMs being a scam. Just a shame they have to learn the hard way.

CurlsandCurves · 15/04/2017 10:15

Can someone pm me the name please too?

I'm on my own this evening, could do with a giggle.

Anatidae · 15/04/2017 10:58

Oh dear... a lovely friend of mine has just gotten into arbonne. She's a really nice person but I fear a tad too trusting :( she has a chronic illness and has done all the 'clean eating' stuff - she's even done 'bible diet' (she's an evangelical xtian...)

Any tips on gentle refusals for the inevitable approach? Do I risk telling her this is all woo? How bad is arbonne?

cozietoesie · 15/04/2017 12:37

You might find the following botwatchblog piece useful.

People who care about you are worried

If you want to have a look at any particular MLMs, why not visit the main botwatch site. If you scroll down through the site, you'll find - among the many useful links - something titled 'Information about specific MLMs' (or similar wording.) You'll find more information about the company you mentioned there. I should warn you - like the others, it doesn't make for pleasant reading.

CurlsandCurves · 15/04/2017 13:44

Just worked out who moved to stoke bot is now...

DoratheExplorer17 · 15/04/2017 13:52

Just read the comment section thread from Stoke Flat Bots ex's 'The Truth' live video. Good grief. Comedy gold. If you've not read it yet, please do. It's worth a read just for giggles!

Spongebobette · 15/04/2017 14:15

'Our coffee is better than your coffee'
'No ours is better'
'You are so unprofessional'
'No you are'

Repeat ad infinitum

Toobusytowee · 15/04/2017 14:21

Is there anyone here in the coaching business? I know there used to be, but I can't remember who she was. A proper coach, not a pretend MLM one. I need to pick their brains.

Spongebobette · 15/04/2017 14:24

Btw cannot wait for the launch of Salonbot's personal website

A sneak preview shows that it will contain 'an essence of every part of me'

Also her team is 'kind supportive loving and caring'

darceybussell · 15/04/2017 14:29

That scouse bloke is really something else. I have never seen someone brag about themselves so much - now he's claiming he's so amazing at normal sales jobs that he will have employers biting his hand off to give him a job. He's also saying he can't pay his rent while at the same time pretending he was amazingly successful in MLM. I can only conclude that he's a bit simple!

DoratheExplorer17 · 15/04/2017 14:51

I think he must be. Claiming to be super successful in NM and yet can't even pay the rent. He doesn't even have a car to run so he must be flat broke. If you have a very successful NM business, it doesn't just stop paying you immediately. It's reduced over time so I can only conclude that his success was somewhat exaggerated??

Sponge - you read the comments on that live then?? I've never seen anything so ridiculous 😂

ArbunneHun · 15/04/2017 15:12

Having done some timeline stalking of ScouseStokeFlatFormerNuSkinOneCoinAriixEDinarNewCoffeeBot, I don't believe he's passed his driving test.

The lines are very blurred between fact & fiction in his life. I suspect that 'broke and desperate' is closer to the truth than 'got 500 people defecting from Valentus to Lean Java Bean and I'm buying a mansion'.

cozietoesie · 15/04/2017 15:27

It's very sad. A personality disintegrating before people's eyes, likely helped by ...........iced tea. I hope it comes as a salutary lesson.

BSintolerant · 15/04/2017 15:33

Just say no, and don't justify your reasons. If she persists, say no again. If she still won't stop banging on about it, tell her you're very happy with the products you're using now and will let her know if you change your mind in the future - then simply don't.

MarchEliza · 15/04/2017 15:33

I give up! I can't work out who these people are. Could someone kindly PM with a name so I can enjoy the drama too? 🙂

BSintolerant · 15/04/2017 15:36

Sorry, that was for anatidae. My phone is fighting the last war!

Flutteringkites · 15/04/2017 15:41

Omg, stokeflatnolongeracoffeebot needs to step away from Facebook. What does he hope to achieve by admitting he has been to prison and had kids taken off him?

fitgirl26 · 15/04/2017 16:00

Stokeflatnolongeracoffeebotbutwantstodoabitofariixonthesidebot obviously doesn't realise that potential employers often check applicants social media pages.....

Spongebobette · 15/04/2017 16:09

I'm feeling a bit guilty stalking Stokeflatbot

He is a sad case.

BSintolerant · 15/04/2017 16:13

Prison? He could set up an MLM selling skinny porridge.

Spongebobette · 15/04/2017 16:18

He contradicts himself constantly within his latest post
