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

@TheRealBarnbot

I'm a bit late to the party but I watched your live last night, it was bludy incredible! Never seen anyone tell it like it is so well!

Best of luck in your new venture xx

What is CastleBot's ridiculous new vlog all about? Just her and her family talking shite on camera, giggling and shrieking a lot.

I see FL Uberbot is back making videos for her leaders, facetiming her team and catching up with her mindset coach (in other words.. back to work) one whole month after having her baby.

One month after a C-section she should be enjoying motherhood and recovering not scrabbling to stay at the top

Remember the chap who asked Highstreethoneybot for the scientific evidence she was claiming she had for her new venture?

He wrote a blog post about it: howmanymiles.co.uk/tag/ariix/

Well done that man for doing the work.

Great article there

( and lol at "Although some might argue that being busted by Trading Standards might have prompted her actions..." )

fancydress so sad that uber is back at work already. So much for maternity leave! Aren't these MLMs supposed to mean you get paid even if youre not working and taking maternity? One month is pitiful. Already she's saying she wants to work with more people in September. CCs must be a bit lacking so she needs to get more to get another big cheque at the next FLP rally 🙄

Eek can someone pm me who is barnbot - please!

crumpets Barnbot The Hero (as I am currently calling her) is on this thread so perhaps you can ask her directly.
Sorry if this sounds blunt but don't like all this asking for pm's; it smacks of wanting to be entertained rather than actually being involved in the effort to deal with this scourge.

Give some thanks to Toobusy et al, dickie. She really is.

Oh I know cozie, I'm elbows-deep in this in RL!!

Serious question - could a leader at the top of a company that is deemed by the authorities to be either conspiring to sell an illegal product or recruiting people into an illegal pyramid scheme be prosecuted? Would it be the company at fault or would it be the people in the scheme who have made money out of it?

Think I've answered my own question - but I wonder if there is any chance of the CPS doing anything about it?

@darcey Action Fraud is the place to start. You can call or report online. The more people that do so, the more likely they are to act. I would urge as many people as possible to report ANYONE at the top of the V pyramid to Action Fraud asap. It's easy. It can be anonymous. I've done it.

Dora, I saw a post just like the one you mentioned. For a moment I was really impressed and thought I was judging Isa too harshly and maybe I should try it then I remembered this thread and came to my senses.It shows how easy it is to get sucked in if you're feeling a bit low about your weight though.

Thanks for that, Arbunne.

Don't worry, impossible. You'll get there - and under your own steam as well. (And much more cheaply. )

I would urge as many people as possible to make a report to ACTION FRAUD. It doesn't take long. The more reports, the more likely they are to act.

Oh my word I go on holiday, come home and catch a cold which goes straight to my sinuses and the world turns upside down!

@TheRealBarnbot ah no you have to keep your nickname. It's a shame you're still pro-FL but I too applaude your video.

Anyway I'm GinBot. Twunk's Weightloss Gin MLM - you want in on the ground floor? I'll ask Salonbot next....

@TheRealBarnbot I was going to ask similar to what @screwedup said. I don't know your NM history but wondering why you recommended FL?

I get that you understand in spite of everything some people still want to do NM. And regardless of how we feel or what we know about NM no amount of information or persuasion will change their minds. Just wondered why you are happy to direct people to FL?

Who is barnbot please? I really want to see the video

She's on the thread - you can ask her yourself

I have finally watched the video and read the questions sent to Valentus HQ. Can't say I'm surprised they didn't answer them. Tin pot organisation if ever I saw one.

But, I am a little disappointed about the FL recommendation too. There are thousands of active reps in the UK, so sending one to FL at this stage is not helpful. Even with a 'good' mentor not castle or eyebrow they won't make anything because too many people have become wise to the shit vast majority of reps and the fact that the products are grossly overpriced.

But in terms of Valentus it's clear you have done your homework. You've been pretty straight to the point and factual, which is refreshing to see. So good on you @TheRealBarnbotl

(And I still think you should be ConvertedBarnBot )

Ariiiiiiiiix bots are very upset with our man who wrote the blog about highstreethoneybot's latest fairy tale weight loss claims. None more so than one of the top fellas at Ariiiiiiiix who chucked highstreet right under the bus and offered nice running fella free coaching in social media if he took the blog down and only criticised highstreet and not the product.
I don't think all the Ariiiiiix bots have picked up on that bit, instead calling the blogger a negferret abusing him by DM and avoiding his scientific evidence that they are once again selling useless horse piss.

Just 'popped on' to say I've finally caught up with the live by @TheRealBarnbot. Awesome stuff hun, you totally smashed it

Seriously though, make a go of the daycare. You're far too good for MLMs.
