You've got your own nail on the head.

It's not about the products.

They're rarely trying to sell or talk about the products. It's a life style that the plaster all over face book.

You can't be bragging about your riches one moment while driving your children in an untaxed car.

People need to be aware of the contradictions.

All is not what it seems.

Smoke and mirrors.

Jonesy - it is for us on this forum to highlight those facts or to inform the police if you feel strongly enough about his behaviour?

Spongebobette · 08/07/2017 12:39

Jonsey you make a very good point, thank you.

What Jonesy said.
Do not give it the millionaire playboy lifestyle chat when it's obvious he's holding on financially with his fingernails.

Well done for recruiting lots of people.

We will continue to point out the realities of MLMs and the huge contradictions between the clever marketing and real life

My real life is just that "real" - those that claim to have a "wealthy" lifestyle is entirely up to them - at some point the truth will emerge - people need to do the research in order to find out - you would have to do this no matter the opportunity.

Spongebobette · 08/07/2017 12:46

I'm glad we agree, chimps.

Wow! What a lot of fuckery!!!!

And today, I learnt a new meaning for melt! Silly old me thought it was something ice did...

(Ps: any 'business' that focuses on recruiting people more than selling any product raises my eyebrow immediately.)

JeffVadersMum · 08/07/2017 13:17

Maybe melt-accuser is Mick from eastenders? That is one of his favourite insults?

Twunk · 08/07/2017 13:26

My friend uses it a lot - she's from Northern Ireland.

Twunk · 08/07/2017 13:32

Interesting that MLM is the "industry" and not the products they sell. I always thought it was a delivery channel. But then, MLM is all about the lifestyle innit? So really anyone saying "JOIN ME! look at my amazing lifestyle!" should expect some sort of scrutiny as to whether that lifestyle matches their claims. From what I can tell, more than 99% of the it doesn't: incomes are exaggerated, time spent minimised, actual orders for products are kind-of glossed over.

This sort of manipulation is grotesque.

BSintolerant · 08/07/2017 13:48

So criticism is cyber bullying is it? What delicate little rosebuds ....

And out visitor is calling us "evil scum" and comparing us to Islamic State? Which cult uses brainwashing techniques, are desperate to recruit, target vulnerable women, and 'remove' people who don't buy into their twisted ideology? Their days are numbered. Pity we can't say the same about Daesh.Wink

Jihadi Jo needs to take the advice of her upline and think very carefully about what she posts. After all, what would Rex and the family think?Grin

acatcalledjohn · 08/07/2017 14:02

Why do I always miss the visiting flying monkeys? Someone really doesn't like to do her own dirty work just like how she dislikes going to weddings of people she looks down upon.

BSintolerant · 08/07/2017 14:04

Who fancies doing a bunk to Utah to become an MLM bride? Grin

rainbowduck · 08/07/2017 14:13

The post about broken ghds has gone...

acatcalledjohn · 08/07/2017 14:13

I will! I'd love to share a husband as well a bottle of Aloe and a dodgy mascara.

Cakietea · 08/07/2017 14:13

MELTzilla!!!! can someone pm me noflatbot, I'm bored with brow bot and her overfiltered simpering now and he sounds vvvv entertaining. Sorry if this makes me the equivalent of pol pot and Adolf hiltler, I will try and live with it.....

BSintolerant · 08/07/2017 14:15

Acat don't know about sharing mascara, but can we share the same husband? A little goes a long way in Utah! Grin

Jonsey32 · 08/07/2017 14:19

Ahhhh. She's removed he post because after reading all of this she does realise perhaps that she sounded very shallow!

BSintolerant · 08/07/2017 14:38

Cakietea Grin We could use Pol Bot and Aloe Shitler as nicknames! 😂 Who else can we add to list of shame?
