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

Oh and just to add, I agree that people have free will and should not prejudge.
Which is why I encourage people to look at Timeless Vie and Botwatch, because that should be part of their 'due diligence' when making a decision about joining an MLM

Oooooo thanks Jonsey I LOVE weddings! I'll be the guest with the bird's nest hair, wearing white

Punnet thanks for posting that link, what an excellent article, and I think parallels can be drawn with other MLMs.

I am hoping that the kerfuffle on here and on the thread which has been deleted might have drawn some new people here in the last few days.

If so, please understand that those of us who post regularly are keen to draw attention to the realities of MLMs such as Forever Living, Actilabs, Nuskin, Ariiix and many many others.

In order for the top people to make a good income, many many other people HAVE to fail/ give up/ lose money.

There's a great video by a John Oliver, perhaps someone could post the link?

I am not sure how to answer your question chimps, other than to say I think it is very poor judgement to post photos of your young children on a public page where they are easily identified. If you happen to be friends with the person I am referring to, it would be kind of you to point this out and the Safeguarding problems she's creating.

I would also like to post on here that any new people drawn to this thread - looking for some "insight" into the MLM industry should take what they read here with a pinch of salt - links to videos, blogs etc - do their own research outside of here - as posters here are subject to cyber bullying people from time to time - sharing information between themselves as to who is who etc - they can potentially ruin your wedding day by inciting hate posts of your guests - and leave you well and truly misinformed. If you would want further proof - if you have time feel free to work back on the threads to see the levels some will stoop to - in order to malign and discredit others in order to get a point across.

Indeed, do your research, very important!

Sponge - it's not a problem - it only becomes one when you lurk as somebody's friend on facebook in order to obtain said photos - so that you can post them on here. If you have no reason to be friends with them - how do you know about the photos of kids etc... but even worse - why post their info on here - for everyone to laugh at! - Stokeflat Bot for example?

Why even mention his kids on here - I think someone even suggest social services etc in one post - and that they should be involved because he took said child to the pub for tea? Who the actual f*ck has that right to even mention that - unless you know for absolute sure that the child was in danger....

I don't lurk as anyone's friend.

They all have very open and public profiles.

What has brow bot child got to do with research into MLM? - why are people obsessed becuase she happens to post a lot and include daughter in posts. I suspect that she is very proud of her - I like to think that anyone is the same of their offspring - if the marketing attracts someone who is likeminded and equally proud of their offspring I see no reason to highlight this as a negative. Children are an emotive subject - especially when it's our own - that topic does not belong on a thread like this - unless somebody wants to explain to me what exact relevance it has to MLM?

Ed Sheeran - twitter (even the best)

And don't let anyone tell you NOT to look at anything in particular.
When joining an MLM many people are advised not to Google or to look at pages such as these, to avoid 'neg heads' etc.
That would be a red flag for me.
Read everything and anything you can before parting with any money.

The person who wants to sign you up is making money from recruiting you, so don't let them and their upline be your only source of information.

Stokeflatbot is a tragic case, a serial MLMer and a victim of the clever stories told about 'financial freedom' and passive income'

I disagree that it is acceptable to use a child on a public page for attraction marketing. It's simply wrong.

Do your research people - I did and thankfully now I get to spend time doing the things I want to - I don't report into anyone - don't have a JOB - pay my taxes, and live a great lifestyle. This earned through hard work, determination, and a willingness to try something different.

I'm not friends with NoFlatBot and I wouldn't want to be. He looks like if you game him any attention you'd end up with a inbox full of dick picks. His profile and the frankly shoddy lifestyle he lives plus his clear failure to be anything of any real success is wide open and public for all to see.

Sponge - it's not your kid - many stars have launch their children in the public eye - why is this different? What protection protocols are you trying to highlight?

Chimps, you talk as if those of us on here don't have decent jobs with company cars, international travel and expenses accounts. These things happen outside of MLM and we don't have to recruit people to get it.

It doesn't matter whose kid it is. Surely it's simply common sense?
Has that child given consent to be plastered over a very open internet?
How might that child feel later in life?

OK you've made your point, we are all nasty for no reason and you are very successful in MLM

I will leave others to do their research and make up their own minds.

SSDGM - so you are saying that NoFlat is the face of MLM or simply one case where it could possibly go wrong? This is one person in an industry of many - why is he highlighted? You could point to other industries and find an equivalent person - he is not the epitome of MLM - highlighting him on this thread is simply online cyber bullying - because he personal life - not just his products are also put on here - I remember someone posting his post regarding car MOT - following by a check to see if he had insurance or not - ffs - what level do people have to stoop to?.....
