MLM Botwatch 31 - A thread for people concerned that a friend or family member has disappeared into the world of MLM

[GavinFromTradingStandards]

New thread Huns

Is PhD bot the one with a PhD in climate change and uses/ used the University website to promote his business? (I cannot see a date on the relevant page) also claims he has been invited to attend careers fairs, give talks and have a retail stand, and has built a team of 'brilliant entrepreneurial students.

It is a shame he is not putting his PhD to good use.

@GavinFromTradingStandards - will do. She's annoyingly beautiful and very clever and sends me pictures of Judgy for No 1 son who is a big fan! I even got a Judgy wedding day pic!

Looks like BlogBot who hasn't actually started a blog yet is going back to NWM.

The cycle seems insanely addictive to people, even after failure.

Fitgirl I am incredibly jealous!

@GriefLeavesItsMark PhDbot is a female who is all about "fierce women". Maybe she needs to meet this PhD boy-bot?

Sadly boyphd bot has a botwife, who had her own YouTube channel (which I have been following avidly).

I see "blog" bot has now put up a status hes thinking of going back to MLM, knew it wouldnt last long!!!

Just spotted this :

at least there are a few people ticking them off in the comments!

@NeverTwerkNaked It won't let me open that link

Yep BlogBot is thinking of getting back into the MLM life, despite his dramatic announcement that he's getting out of it for good and writing a Support Blog for MLMers that aren't making as much dosh as he thought. Even his announcement that he's leaving Network Marketing was announced in Bot Style - over the course of two days in the "Guys, I have some exciting news to announce. Stay tuned!" FFS!

As soon as he writes that he's getting back into the BotLife, a flood of HunBots start the recruitment drive in the comments below his post. Although one comment did give some very good advice:

"I think you should take a step back for a bit, you seem a bit up and down to what you want. Don't just jump in to something to fill a hole 😊 x"

I've posted about Blogbot before, I think he is quite vulnerable and has others promising him the world so he follows. His travel business really didn't take off at all (pardon the pun) and I'll be honest, he doesn't really strike me as the dynamic leader and mentor he makes himself out to be.

Who is the female American mummy blogger? PM me huns!

Can anyone explain why all the remaining Valentus Bots are blabbing on about "fake news"? Has the whole trading standards debacle gone away? Was HighstreethoneyBot lying? Curious minds want to know...

I really don't know fitgirl-I find the fact that mrssalon isn't posting much a bit suspect. My namesake said in his email that the product couldn't be legally sold. I'm confused myself tbh.

BotoxBot posted a "cheers to fresh new beginnings" update and included a picture of SalonBot so she appears to still be lurking. Somebody asked if it was still Valentus but was met with a "I'll message you Hun".

Genuinely curious - why are bots so secretive with naming their company?

@imokhun
I was thinking that yesterday when looking at a rather prolific seller of nu cosmetics. She didn't name the company and I had to do some detective work to find out what she was selling.

Ah yes just worked out who Botoxbot is - she was tagged in HighstreethoneyBot's Valentus rant. Yes it was looking at the Bots commenting on her stuff and also watching mrssalonbot's team that's made me curious...
Botoxbot's post made me suspect that they are moving over to a NEW IN PRE-LAUNCH BEST COMP PLAN EVER LOCK IN YOUR POSITION NOW EEEEEEEK MLM and then Valentus will be quietly dropped and maybe the "fake news" stuff is to stop the downline scurrying off to other MLMs while they are setting it up behind the scenes. Or am I overthinking this?

Second plea for some bot links. I am having to resort to housework to fill my time

Sent you a dm pearls

@pearls they are secretive so that in the first instance no one blabs ' oh it's xxx, it's a scam don't go near it' and put people off

The plan/hope is that a few people will pm them (Hun). One they've done that they can arrange a one to one meeting with potential victims business partners and present the company in the best light.

Basically so potential victims business partners only hear about the company from them and no other outside influences

Thanks @TrippleFlappyDiamondSparrow .

I can put the steam cleaner down now!

@fitgirl26

That makes SO much sense and would surprise me by a grand total of 0%.

One of the vocal Bots who has recently left and "gone into the top" of some new company prelaunch also has her fella involved( I think?). He's just put up a status explicitly saying he can now call Valentus a pyramid scheme and the reasons why.

Highstreethoneybot shared and then deleted.

Side note: I think I'm addicted to watching Bots go live. Why say in 5 words, something you can waffle on about for twenty minutes?!

Oh Dear. That relationship may not last a long time.

Yup loads of Bots are posting about "pre-launch" today (it's almost like they've been told what to post 🤔) so they're either trying to relaunch Valentus pending registration or there's new bottery afoot...

Genuinely curious - why are bots so secretive with naming their company?

And to add to @CurlsandCurves explanation:

It's designed to make it feel personal. So although all they say is part of a script used by every bot and MLM known to man, by messaging people directly the bot can hide the fact that it's a script and the prospect is more likely to feel special and wanted, which is likely to result in a sale or a new distributor.
