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 upset a bot! I tweeted JuicePlus about the Facebook post claiming their tablets can prevent cancer and heart disease amongst other things. Post has now gone and a haters post has appeared.

Gosh, Toobusy! I imagine you're now crying into your tea?

I just wish Bot Watch could comment on her page.

It turns out someone else complained about that ad so it might not have been my tweet that ended it.

Well if someone else also complained, that's good, eh?

Ah
Just watched a zoom call re Edinars
One of those who has been in it for a few months and has amassed huge piles of coins through the 21% a month interest rate is selling coins to her downline at slightly below the rate in the official exchanges, in order to make herself a salary.

Hmmm

So despite her constant protestations that you don't have to build a team, actually the way to make money seems to be to recruit and then sell coins to your downline

Well she may have tried to sell them on the open market...........

Oh and that particular bot happens to be coffee bot

cozie she could sell on the exchanges online but so much easier to flog to the downline and get cash money through PayPal

I see that one bot is using the term "apprentice" for her new victims recruits.

The dictionary defines apprentice as "A person who is learning a trade from a skilled employer, having agreed to work for a fixed period at low wages"

Learning a trade?
Skilled employer?
Agreed to work? Signed up during a weak moment maybe
Low wages? Not exactly wages but I guess the low bit is pretty accurate

cozie she no those cheques that you saw were part of an incentive run either by a team or by a region. Those have nothing to do with the rally cheques. But I am intrigued to see what everyone gets this year as I know their total CC volumes have dropped

Thanks for that, Dora. I'll be interested also. I'd expect the 'poster children' to still receive whoppers - they can't really reduce those much - so the cheques to the peons will be interesting: both in amount and number.

How do I or who do I report posts to that make cancer claims etc?
Do I just report to Facebook or is there a professional body?

Jonsey, you need to report it to the ASA if the advert originated in the U.K. www.asa.org.uk/make-a-complaint.html You can report it without the advertiser knowing it was you. If the ASA deem it serious they refer adverts to the Trading Standards. Making cancer claims is serious.

Thanks, Toobusy.

The Dubai rally posts reminded me of a presentation I went to when I was still in FLP.

This guy was telling us about the fabulous holidays they are'given simply for doing their job' and he mentioned how great it was because there they were, on holiday, paid for by the company and were 'prospecting by the pool'

I think this was one of those moments when I realised how this must look from the outside. Some guy starts talking to you about his fantastic business opportunity and how it's enabled him to take holidays like this and hey maybe we should get together and you can see what it's all about....

While you are on your sun lounger, relaxing, trying to enjoy your holiday.

What the feck?

Alarm bells definitely began to ring then...

Well done for quitting.

Thank so toobusytowee.

I'm going to do it now.

Part of me can't wait until these crypto schemes collapse like Onecoin has done so I can enjoy the fallout like a Smuggy McSmugface. But then it will mean that innocent people lured into them will have lost money.

There are certainly many ways into these schemes but most of the 'marks' are vulnerable for one reason or another at the time - and that vulnerability is preyed on. It's a great sadness.

This really annoys me!!!! One of my bots putting up this status, when it's well know she actually uses frigging Botox!!!!!

Have a read of this blog post about trying to entice vulnerable people into selling leggings. I'm so angry right now.

Poor poor woman.

But thank you for posting the link, Toobusy. Will you be able to put that - or some of it - in 'another place'?
