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

My Ariiiix bot has recently been promoted to viiice presiiident and is now earning £35k (part time hours) apparently.

cozietoesie · 18/04/2017 15:50

Out of interest, has anything been said about the (large and certified) donations to charity from that alleged income? Smile

BethanyBarleywater · 18/04/2017 17:18

Can someone pm me Smoked Rasher Bot too please?x

fitgirl26 · 18/04/2017 17:21

The Ariiiiiiiix Bots seem to be struggling with their latest #hashtag.
I've seen #imin #Imin #imIn #Iamallin #iamallin so far...

On a side note a Coffee Bot did a post asking for people to comment #iamallin if they wanted info. Several people posted "Lamallin". I larfed.

Got a special mention guys and girls!

Notice to any Forever Living top bots who stalk these threads

You have all come back from Dubai with renewed enthusiasm to recruit.

We are not fooled for one minute by your disingenuous claims that your aim is to help people create extra income/ helping them achieve their dreams/ run own business in the small pockets of time they have

We know it's all about maintaining the flow of victims to the bottom of the pyramid. You are exploiting people...with your constant photos of your 'lifestyle', giving them the impression that they can get this too if they sign up under you.

Shame on you

And for anyone who has found these threads because they are considering signing up as a FBO.... why would you part with your own money just to become a catalogue salesperson? What sort of company would not provide you with samples of all their products if you are expected to sell them? Why do YOU have to pay P&P for products? What sort of company does not reimburse your expenses for travel and accommodation when you go to training events?
What sort of real coaching/ mentoring/ training qualification does our 'upline' have?
And why aren't you allowed to see information about what FBOs earn, on average?
Are there any other costs YOU will have to bear in order to run this 'business'?

Spongebobette · 18/04/2017 21:05

LOL Jonsey why would anyone in his position draw attention to this thread??

DoratheExplorer17 · 18/04/2017 21:07

I say that too Jonesy!!!!

So Stoke Flat Bot, please listen. Be real with yourself for just a minute. How much have you actually made from all the MLMs you've joined? How high up the pyramid did you get? How many people have you sponsored who've done nothing? Most people on this thread actually feel sorry for you because you are a victim in this, as much as anyone. You've been sucked into believing that 'one day' you will be a millionaire!!!! It's not going to happen. Stop finding vulnerable people and making them part with their money, with the promise of a dream lifestyle!!

DoratheExplorer17 · 18/04/2017 21:19

Ok so 21 days from now (9th May) something is going to explode on social media. He might be trying out new companies!! Can't wait to see this unfold, In between his j.o.b. which he's landing on Thursday, to stop him getting bored in the day time. (Hope your new boss doesn't see you say that?) whatever it is, I'm sure there's something on botwatch for people to read!!

BSintolerant · 18/04/2017 21:22

jonsey32 He must have spent ages creating that hunspirational message for us - how touching!

BSintolerant · 18/04/2017 21:37

Well said Sponge. We can see straight through the likes of Forever Living.

Wouldn't you love to know how many bots and manager bots have also smelt bullshit and quit? People are waking up to the reality of these awful schemes and are cringing at the photos of designer luggage and shoes which certain bots post on social media as bait. I suppose burglars and HMRC might be interested ... I think it's vulgar.

cozietoesie · 18/04/2017 21:39

Wonderful, Johnsey. Smile

cozietoesie · 18/04/2017 21:41

Sorry. Jonsey. (My autocorrect being authoritarian again! Wink)

acatcalledjohn · 18/04/2017 22:46

But as I watched everyone else doing it around me, some crying, I realised we were all in the same boat (no pun intended😉)...

I like a good pun but there isn't one here.

Unless the boat is floating in a pool of crocodile tears?

There does appear to be a noticeable slowing down within the entire MLM industry: companies going bust, court cases, reduced payouts...so despite the PA status shared above about our thread, it appears the hardcore bots/believers/brainwashed adherents are scared.

My FL bot is the most useless bot. She's a meme oversharer, but very rarely now mentions FL. Hopefully she soon realises she is wasting her low salary from her real job on overpriced shite.

moreslackthanslick · 18/04/2017 23:12

I've just seen a bot advertise an Easter discount on a pint of Aloe hand soap.

Buy two for £24 and save £5? WTAF? £24 for 2 bottles of hand soap?

cozietoesie · 18/04/2017 23:19

Could someone remind me - are these products date stamped? And all safe? (I seem to remember some injunction on selling certain ones.)

screwthepyramids · 18/04/2017 23:22

I have honestly lost it wit the bots now. I was tempted a few weeks back to try again in 'NM' but resisted and instead created a new Facebook account rather than go through and delete all the bots I had (had 34.2k friends onthat account after years of MLM)

screwthepyramids · 18/04/2017 23:41

Sorry should of been 3.4k

BSintolerant · 18/04/2017 23:53

screwthepyramids - good on you for resisting. What strengthened your resolve?

cozietoesie · 19/04/2017 00:02

Yes. Well done. What went through your mind? Smile

BSintolerant · 19/04/2017 10:13

jonsey I see he's changed his shoutout to us to normal text now. He mustn't want us to think he's spending too much time on us after all! Grin

We don't want to distract him from making his millions, do we? Wink

DoratheExplorer17 · 19/04/2017 17:32

I've had a recruiting message (typical copy and paste) from someone who is in the company I used to be with??? Apparently they've looked through my profile and can see I'm really successful, which is weird because I don't put anything on my fb about my job? It's embarrassing 🙄🙄

BSintolerant · 19/04/2017 17:35

That's very confusing Dora!

cozietoesie · 19/04/2017 17:37

I guess you're worth another try, Dora. (Having been vulnerable once, you might be ready to be ensnared again.) How shall you respond? (If, indeed, you do.)

Spongebobette · 19/04/2017 18:00

Oh Dora , do string them along a bit.
