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

[Spongebobette]

New Fred

I've got someone promoting 'pearl popping' parties on my FB. From what I can gather you send the host some money to open an oyster that may or may not contain a pearl?

Is this just a 'harmless' waste of time and money or will it result in trying to recruit more hosts?

I've been a lurker on this thread for a bit and was just gearing up to add my first post, about my lovely friend in the US who's now a doterra (sp?) essential oils bot. Her FB post today made me feel a bit sad for her/cross on her behalf. Some kind of trip to the Dominican Republic is being dangled at her if she can only earn it (probably never to be achieved), and she's a genuinely nice person who I've known since she was a baby and she says she is "feeling blessed" and, grrrrr. I want to rescue her.

But back to that later.

The GHD bot thread now says that the real bride in that situation has stated she isn't the OP claiming to be her here on MN (sorry - garbled).

Don't suppose anyone can clarify?

I'd just let it go now. MNHQ can work it all out and do what they wish.

Agreed @Spongebobette, although you'd think someone her husband has by now told her to stop fucking about with FL. She's permanently skint, and ever since her chat with her upline a few weeks the skint posts have disappeared and it's all about the supernatural 'if the cards say it it must be true, I'm so accurate' bollocks.

Disclaimer: I'm not woo in the slightest.

So sad

I'm tempted to post this on her page acat

Wasn't it?

She could do with that. But you'll just be a hater.

Her husband needs to make a stand. He looks terribly uncomfortable in every photo he appears in. And the poor bloke is working his arse off to keep one income steady.

She comes across as terribly sweet and kind hearted, but dim and very deluded.

Well that was all rather interesting on the thread about the broken GHDs and the non attendee at a wedding. The thread has been deleted.

Now bracing for a post from the uberbot about bullying and bitter twisted keyboard warriors

Well the wedding thread has now been removed. Definitely for the best. I have my own personal view about what was going on, and lets face it, it has brought a lot of attention to certain things. Here we go again, talk about groundhog day. I admit I was fooled and it will not happen again. Not going to mention it again. Lets carry on as normal my fellow keyboard warriors eeeeekkkkkk.

My spidey senses suggest that a narcissistic cunt of a bot was behind that wedding thread.

Wow no way, really?

Thoroughly enjoyed a browse on browbots page, it was a bit light on any pictures except heavily filtered selfies, but lots of self agrandising and the lap dog in tow, oh and her canine friends
Most entertaining, and amazing to think people actually get taken in by this shite!

Yes, the lady who's wedding it was. Is saying someone pretended to be her and she never posted any of it and is now a victim of cyber bullying and identity theft. 🤔

Hmm Mumsnet didn't say though that they'd established that the OP wasn't her, just that there was doubt

Mysterious

I'm just a bit curious here, but isn't it wrong to photoshop your forever living chairman's bonus cheque and make it look like a cheque under your business name??

Ugh can anyone here who knows me away from MN please confirm that I am not a sock puppet

Krispie isn't a sock puppet ...says my friends Sooty and Sweep... (joking)

Viva la rakes!

Don't worry, Krispie. MNHQ have decided that the thread should go. It's not worth wondering about the motivation of the person posting.

I know Krispie from beyond the mumsnet. Not a sock in sight!

Rakey rakey!

Now bracing for a post from the uberbot about bullying and bitter twisted keyboard warriors

It has appeared. There is a meme, and there are brave comments about not letting the bullies affect her any more.

Ooh can someone pm me uberbot please. Still trying to catch up with it all.
In other news there is a delightful Star Saturday event in Birmingham today with recognition awards for nu skin so prepare yourselves for inane clapping and whopping over the mega cardboard cheques from your bots

That post browbot has posted is actually hilarious.

All for telling us to get off the Internet and spend time with our families but spends all her time posting her whole life over Facebook. 8 different things she posted yesterday 🙈😂

Her follow up review post of the controversial straighteners is very contradictory too. She says she did it on "sweaty gym hair" but in her rush to Argos post her hair was allegedly "soaking wet". That was at well after 3pm and her first sweaty gym post was before 12 - no shower for over 4 hours??? I don't think she was ever planning on attending the wedding.

Also the bride who didn't start the other thread would appear to be both a FL and a Jamberry bot. My FB bot is a serial mlmer - jumping from one to another when it doesn't work out and never making any money. It makes me so sad for her.
