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

Has anyone done a search of various MLM schemes via the online Insolvency Register? I have. The results are fascinating, but hardly surprising.

BSintolerant · 20/04/2017 14:01

Here's the link: www.insolvencydirect.bis.gov.uk/eiir/

BSintolerant · 20/04/2017 14:10

Sorry, the search facility for the London Gazette is wider so you can search on an mlm company name and see what comes up: m.thegazette.co.uk/insolvency

cozietoesie · 20/04/2017 14:57

No. Not at all surprising. Sad, though, when you think of the number of people who were likely hoodwinked.

Please someone film Flat Bots live on another device and pm me a link with a password on YouTube 😉

FLP car plan. It's extra cash payment so would just be declared as extra income

Out of interest, Dora, do higher up adherents ensure that 'new starts' have set themselves up all legal etc ? Eg with HMRC etc etc?

DoratheExplorer17 · 20/04/2017 17:16

Nope. They will be told they need to and told them here is an accountant they recommend who does a half day course on what to do with receipts etc. But it's up to each individual to register and make sure they do their tax returns. And I don't want to put anyone down, but I know there are people out there who have no clue about tax or how to manage it. I consider myself fairly intelligent and I struggle to get it right without paying an accountant!

cozietoesie · 20/04/2017 17:34

You're not alone.

It's not the ££££ you might have to pay - because, frankly, most people won't make enough profit if they've calculated correctly - it's the work involved in meeting all the legal obligations.

Great new post by the Motherload

clicky link

More and more blogs/sites/groups are posting stuff like this. May it reach far and wide and travel like the wind!

Whatsaldigottodowithit · 20/04/2017 18:21

Maybe a stupid question but how often should they be doing accounts? For example someone who has received a cheque 3 years in a row?

Spongebobette · 20/04/2017 18:24

Great post!

BSintolerant · 20/04/2017 19:57

Excellent post! May it travel like the wind emitted from a bot's butt after overdosing on aloe gloop. Grin

BSintolerant · 20/04/2017 20:31

I suppose you're going to blame that on adogcalledjohn! Grin

adogcalledjohn? Surely no dog is cool enough to be named John? Grin

I've just attempted to look in to the #DBDMovement, as mentioned by #leftmywifeforacoffeebotwhodumpedmesoimgoingtobepartofamoventeventhoughigotmyselfarealjobwithtrainingpaidbythecompany.

The first video I found is this one. Utterly clueless still. Anyone know? Apparently it will all start on the 8th of May.

acatcalledjohn · 20/04/2017 20:52

Ariix? Looks like DBD stands for Disruptive By Design.

Is this going to be some sort of social media style flash mob?

Spongebobette · 20/04/2017 20:55

What an absolute load of bolloxy bollox

And he looks stupid in that tie

And are his hands absolutely enormous or is it just that they are in the foreground?

DoratheExplorer17 · 20/04/2017 21:07

Oh I saw that slogan on streaky rasher's photos from the cruise. On her t-shirt. Must be the new thing from them?

Whatever happened to Project X??? Launched in October and was going to be something amazing. Don't even know what it was in the end??

Spongebobette · 20/04/2017 21:23

" today, a huge trophy to congratulate me on being #1 Ambassador in Europe in 2016 - this means I brought the most people into our company last year..... This makes me super happy as it means I'm helping lots of people change their lives"

What, not receiving a trophy for selling the most products?? No, for RECRUITING

Someone previously mentioned the arrow breaking exercise.

That link you posted Cat. Very interesting!! I've watched a few of his vids. He's effectively a D O'Conman copy cat!!! Yes seem how much money D has made by exploiting FLP bots. This guy is trying to copy D's exact principles and programmes with the Ariix bots. Utter tripe! I've seen a tragic vid of an ex FLP bot who needs to be cured of her prosecco habit 🙄 Because she's not earning the money she wants to be earning. This is not the story she would have everyone believe according to her fb when she left FLP!

Spongebobette · 20/04/2017 21:43

Thanks Penny

More shite!

DoratheExplorer17 · 20/04/2017 23:34

Their claims are laughable!!!! They claim to be number 82 on the list of top 100 companies in the world???? Coca Cola are only number 83 on the Forbes list, so I find that claim ridiculous. What list are they talking about? Top 100 MLMs maybe?? That what the photo of the certificate appears to show. But yet another misleading statement claiming they're in the top 100 companies in the world! So they're. number 82 in the MLM world, but the claims they make as being one of the best male them sound so much better than they are!

DoratheExplorer17 · 20/04/2017 23:42

Actually I've just found the list they're talking about. Isn't it a conflict of interests to have an Ariix president who is also the founder of the DSN (direct selling news) who is making claims on his company. He could claim whatever he likes? And as an ex FLP person, I'm confused about why FLP isn't on that list, when their turnover is $2.6 billion?? Sounds like Mr Ariix/DSN founder has just omitted them from his list??
