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

.... see what sort of promises/ claims they make....

cozietoesie · 19/04/2017 18:09

It's tempting - but to be resisted, I think? The sooner people realise that they're in a losing situation with MLMs, the better I reckon. )And such an approach smacks of desperation.)

DoratheExplorer17 · 19/04/2017 21:35

Well so far

'It's definitely not a pyramid scheme and all the training is backed by the government, so all legal'

No the training is most definitely not backed by the government.

She called me Hun 😉 And then sent me castle bots 5 minute video!!

cozietoesie · 19/04/2017 22:16

Has she mentioned the New Enterprise Allowance at all? Botwatchblog have actually written a piece on that.

MLM and the NEA

cozietoesie · 19/04/2017 22:18

And she used the 'H' word at you? Grin

Toobusytowee · 19/04/2017 22:41

Ah yes, the NEA post. I need to update that. There have been developments. Too much going on in my life, not enough time to blog properly!

cozietoesie · 19/04/2017 22:56

......good developments or just........interesting? Wink

BSintolerant · 19/04/2017 23:18

Dora - this defeats me. Has she lost the fucking plot?! Isn't it bizarre?

cozietoesie · 19/04/2017 23:23

I suspect that it's just that her memory has gone - probably exhausted. Just blindly copying and pasting...........

Toobusytowee · 20/04/2017 00:04

Cozie, good developments, then a blip, then more promising! I just need to take a bit more action and see where that takes me before I put the whole story up.

cozietoesie · 20/04/2017 00:20

Best of luck then - and some .......decent coffee.Wink

MyCatsHateMLMtoo · 20/04/2017 07:45

"Training backed by Government?" Ask her for evidence of this particular fallacy, Dora.

Thanks for taking one for the team, too Wink. Your sacrifice is appreciated.

I haven't got time to watch it now as I need to be leaving for work (yes I have a J.O.B. poor, poor me) but I see "Stokeflatbot" did a live post on fb last night whilst pissed.

Great move! Get pissed the night before an interview and record a Live video. I'm sure it will throw up some gems if anyone has a moment to watch it.

CurlsandCurves · 20/04/2017 08:52

Oh what a class act Stokebot is!

Just watched the live, non stop effing and jeffing, and the best bit is he forgets the name of 'the movement' 😂😂😂😂

Yep, 6 figure income business builder, a true professional, films himself pissed up with his dodgy looking mates in his glamorous bedsit. I need to work 'alongside' this man, where do I sign up?

Spongebobette · 20/04/2017 09:23

Perhaps someone should tell him that it's common practice for interviewers to look at a candidate's FB profile. I certainly do, but the people I interview have, almost exclusively, locked down their FB profile including photos.
He is very dim.

SSDGM · 20/04/2017 09:24

Oh fab! Am currently in bed feeling sorry for myself as DH's grandson has given us both Norovirus. I need something to cheer me up! gets earphones out

SSDGM · 20/04/2017 09:25

Oh, even before I've started I've just noticed he can't even spell "Entrepreneur", let alone claim to be one 😂😂

Annie65 · 20/04/2017 09:33

He's taken it off folks. Didn't have chance listen to it earlier and just gone on his profile to listen to it now, but it has gone.

Flutteringkites · 20/04/2017 10:50

He hasn't taken it off. Just changed the viewing settings to 'friends' rather than 'public'. Wink

MrsGotobed · 20/04/2017 10:50

I guessed that someone would advise him to take down the vid at some point (let's face it, he would be oblivious as to why its a bad idea!!).

Glad some of you got to see it though and that it didn't disappoint Grin

Spongebobette · 20/04/2017 11:09

Perhaps he's keeping up with this thread and is learning something?

CurlsandCurves · 20/04/2017 11:19

Well if his potential employers saw the vid I can guarantee he won't be getting the job he's being interviewed for at 11. Not a good idea to call it a shit job that you don't really want.

But he's got another interview at 3 and that's the job he really wants, so he'd better hope he changed the settings in time!

SSDGM · 20/04/2017 12:02

I can still see it, just not the comments. It's people like him who give us salespeople a bad reputation. Also £30k isn't a lot of money for someone who has previously talked about being a 6 figure earner.

Can anyone explain to me how these top bots get on with the tax man? Do they still have to declare earnings etc? And if they do end up on car plans etc where the cars are paid for, do they have to pay, as I do, extra tax for benefit in kind? If they are self employed shouldn't their earnings be available through their end of year accounts at Companies House?

BethanyBarleywater · 20/04/2017 13:13

Yes yes,but he's still 24th in the country for Ariiiixx! This man is an inspiration! And still has time to go back to work. Oh,hold on. That's because he can't pay his rent.

cozietoesie · 20/04/2017 13:31

'Tax'. 'Accounts'..........

What are these words? Grin
