MLM Botwatch 30 : A new thread (the 30th!) for people who are worried about relatives or friends who have turned into 'bots' by joining an MLM

New Fred

Hes "potentially" earned 3,000 in 3 days!! Potentially....,Seriously like !!! I've potentially won the Euromillions!!

Check your numbers sean - six figures are just around the corner.

Seriously I dont know whos worst, him or the people who belive this shit and comment.

Inlaws are coming tomorrow so I have been very busy trying to get the house halfway acceptable. We are moving bedrooms around (almost literally - we've moved a wall) so there's just stuff everywhere.

Mmmmmm colon gin.

When I get some time, after the inlaws have left, I shall be creating a logo and some memes. Give that Timeless Vie a run for their money. Forget lard, go GIN!

I knew it. Skinny Gin!.

There's only one tag line for Colon Gin: tastes like shit!

Skinny Gin: tastes like lard.

Cozie this might sound random. Every time I read your writing I hear it in a Canadian accent. Last weeeek I was hearing someone else's writing in a Polish accent. How weird is that?

It sounds as if you've been sampling the Skinny Gin already, BS. Are you a shadow of your former self yet?

Although, I should add, I'm impressed as all get out that you know what a Canadian accent sounds like!

Though not Canadian, I always think the accent sounds like Kermit the frog

How safe are those at the top of the pyramid?

Those that actually are making some money from it.

Not safe at all - as soon as you get into those levels it's very easy to fall. Eyes always argued that no one ever makes money and he has a point, though I expect there's something in "quitting while you're ahead". But remember we are talking about a very very tiny percentage of people, who sell their souls, or at least become very adept at ignoring the numbers who fail and lose in order for them to get where they end up.

That's what I thought. There is a finite amount of people you csn continue to recruit.

She is beginning to sound desperate and so is the company.

She goes on and on and on and on about money and how life changing it was but then takes holidays camping and hiking not far from.home. what no Paris, Rome, Caribbean.

She has bought a house car and truck but i suspect this company has enabled her to obtain more credit and she doesnt own outright.

Do they lie about their earnings?

Can someone please PM me stoke/salonbot? I'm late to the party but it's hilarious!

My bot friend has now jacked in the skinny coffee (after perhaps realising nobody wanted to buy the shit) and gone back to one of the first MLMs she tried. I've got to admire her persistence.

On a side note, a few weeks ago she announced on social media that she's gone vegetarian. She's one of those who often posts pics of her dinner and tonight's pic, complete with the hashtag #veggie, was...fish. I resisted the urge to comment with #facepalm

Of course they lie about their earnings

None of them ever mention costs either. Or hours put in. We had a lovely ex-bot on here who made a few hundred in a month - but that was gross, and after many hours work and a LOT of pressure. I'd expect to get €600 a month working a reasonably undemanding job 10 to 15 hours per week, not the crazy shit they end up doing.

Also with the Byzantium "compensation programmes" they end up buying lots of stock, not only for themselves but to get team bonuses - so they buy CCs for their downlines too.

Yes she never mentions auto ship costs and money spent on products per month or that many distributors make no money per month. You have to buy or sell about £100 of product a month or you dont get paid.

Well quite. And they say to swap your usual products for the MLM ones. Well I don't spend €20 on my shampoo! Especially as they're all pretty darn similar when it comes down to it. If you want Aloe stuff you can pop down to any Holland & Barrett (other health food shops are available) and buy some at a fraction of the price.

Good to see other people carrying out their own research into MLM schemes

I do spend that on shampoo but I have a very particular hair type and Aveda Be Curly is the only thing I have found that tames my hair and aveda is a reputable brand that I can just buy in the shop.

The rest of it is a bloody joke. My mlm friend does It Works. £100 for cream cloths to stick to your body for 45 mins and they are meant to be used every 3 days. You couldnt make it up as it reminds me of the Full Monty guy sitting putting cling film around his torso hoping to lose weight. The Defining Gel is about £60 when Nivea cellulite gel is £10. Hair skin and nails is £60 for 60 tablets so £1 per tablet and all it contains is vits C, E, B6, biotin, selenium, zinc, etc. In other words nothing you cannot get cheaply from holland and barrett or boots.

I also don't understand why anyone would want to buy stuff out of someones lounge or buy products to resell elsewhere. It is just madness.

Actually that sounds like good shampoo! 😉

I see that one of the top UK FL bots has been away from facebook for less than 24hrs after giving birth!

OK I know it's "only posting on fb" but that's where her business happens really isn't it? All those devoted lowly bots seeing her amazing lifestyle, dream home etc which is all down to her little aloe business of course .

No such thing as maternity leave in MLMs!! You can't afford to take a step back or drop your guard for one moment!

It feels like she's been pregnant Forever pun intended

You think she's been pregnant Forever? Just wait until the aloe baby products start to appear. Nappy rash, weaning, teething, there aloeways will be an aloe answer.

Can anyone talk to me about Jamberry? Or direct me to any info on it? Some of my (usually very sensible) friends have got involved.
