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

New thread Huns

....free coaching in social media if he took the blog down and only criticised highstreet and not the product.....??

Hi guys.
To answer the question as to why I am pro FLP, I personally had the best experience and feel grateful for everything I took away from that. My story was real and I have had nothing but support in all I do even now. However, yes there are some absolute tossers in that company too but lucky for me I wasnt in their downline. If somebody wanted to join another company I would send them to the sponsor I had. Ive discussed FLP with you guys before and dont want to go over it as you know my views on it. I did publically support those who had horror stories and have become great friends with some of those ladies since. I respect my friends still in NM and its no secret I like NM BUT lots need to change. People should not be in debt, should not be lied to and should not be pressured!! I am with you on that 100%. Enough is enough there is a dark side to NM that is vile and we all get tarred with the same brush unfortunately :(

And barnbot is Natasha shingles or as i like to call her..... ME!! Lol

Natasha, is it ok if I share your live on BotWatch please? I don't normally put people's identities on there unless they've done something really naughty and I can't get hold of them any other way.

ConvertedBarnBot is funny though

I think anyone new to FL would struggle to make any money though. The country is SATURATED in Aloe - there's no one left to recruit and no one left to sell to. Loads of product on eBay etc. I just don't think anyone would have the experience you had @TheRealBarnBot, especially since the CCs for recruiting went down.

And that's ignoring that it's all ethically dubious to start with. That's the whole point of these threads.

Anyway, about Twunk's miracle memory weight-loss Gin ....

Feel free to share I dont mind. Its way past the point of protecting identity 😂😂

I think there are 'some' MLMers that need a lesson in what defamation actually is.

For the information of 'some' people, libel or slander does not mean 'Waahhh Barnbot made a video and was a bit mean about me and said I was a disgrace!'

FFS some of these people need punching the face repeatedly.

If spelling defamation correctly is a hurdle I think understanding the definition is a tad too much!! Now.... defanination of character is when people tell other people what a little fibber you are. ;)

I did have to laugh when a certain ex FL, now Ariix bot did a video and stated that people had 'deformed' her character!!!

So a Vida Divina bot has been claiming earnings of £10k a month but it's a fact she's not declared any to the taxman and in fact has been caught making false benefit claims.... walks away whistling

*note: Vida Divina bot mentioned has been with them for 6 weeks.

*your results may vary

Enough is enough there is a dark side to NM that is vile and we all get tarred with the same brush unfortunately :(

The dark side to NM sadly is a majority, with some extremes.

I'm glad you are focussing on your own idea/brand/business. You'll get so much more out of it than a 13 in a dozen 'business in a box' type set ups which are nothing more than a cheap supply chain. I hope that your real business takes off and that you never return to the evil that is MLM. That you are a well and truly ConvertedBarnBot.

The new business has come about because of NM. Mums especially join because they have no other options. So I figured halve the cost of profit hungry childcare and find a way to fund school holiday programs. Needless to say I am hoping it will give people another option!! Time will tell

TheRealBarnbot Your new business sounds really worthwhile and something that is needed nationwide. Maybe you can franchise it in a non-pyramid shaped scheme! :P

Haha someone else said the same to me today! Right before asking me to look at their opportunity 🙈 (couldnt make it up!)

Converted barn bot, what do you make of this?

What do we make to this? This is what a Valentus rep said when asked why the company was dissolved in UK. Apparently they dissolved the registered company to start registration with a new legal tean. Huh? 🤔

^ team*

Trading standards Hertfordshire confirmed to me that selling via link is exactly the same as selling from your front door. I have an email confirming that products do not comply with EU or UK labelling requirements which means cant be sold. Now you are left with a textbook pyramid scheme which trading standards also confirmed. Any food or drink product sold requires you to register as a food business with your local council also.

Does that mean flp reps and isagenix reps etc should/must register??

I didn't ask that question so cant say but it may suggest so.

Good to know. Also congrats on having the fortitude to return here and be open and honest about how you feel and have been affected by mlm lately

I was always honest, I just wasn't believed! 😂😂😂 I do understand why though its hardly surprising when so many in mlm are full of shit. Mumsnet you are forgiven 👍😂

Been catching up as haven't looked at this for a very long time.
Few things I want to put right... TED was definately not an mlm it was an energy supplier exactly the same as any other and I never worked for them! I supported as it was my friends company. It was actually partnered with not for profit too. Thats going to sound random but I've just read it and will forget to respond by morning!! Lol
