Christ, I think I mixed up my words there. Soz. Bit pissed.

MrsGotobed · 19/08/2017 19:22

Taking one for the team there SSDGM ! Bravo!

I hope you have a good supply of dust as that's all you're supposed to live on alongside the coffee you know. Weight loss guaranteed Wink

I genuinely lost 10lbs eating cake! 😂😂😂😂 and i still drink aloe! Dont hate me! 😂

SSDGM · 19/08/2017 19:28

Balls to that! From what they say you don't need to change anything so I'm changing nothing. Not even the gin!

MrsGotobed · 19/08/2017 19:36

So do you basically end up speeding your tits off then?

To the poster who asked about Temple Spa, I've just been looking through their website and in the 'Spa to go' section there's big clues that suggest it's MLM such as 'Growing a team'.

SSDGM what you going to do if it works for you though?? Retreat slowly out the backdoor? 😂😂😂 I wouldn't risk it!

cozietoesie · 19/08/2017 21:18

They might just have developed that extra 'stream', Cheeky. There's a certain inevitability about it in some sectors.

Just an little tip for notbot; you can get your aloe vera in Holland and Barratt a LOT cheaper than FL, especially if they are having one of their penny sales!

GriefLeavesItsMark · 19/08/2017 21:54

tbh I only read these threads for the entertainment value; if anyone I cared about had been sucked into mlm I would be a lot less quick with the lols. Fortunately just about everyone I know is mean and cynical, not in desperate need of money, or have kids they don't want to spend anymore time with.

I do spend far too much time stalking. Bots. Currently loving mammapreneur's latest efforts 'hundreds of messages in my inbox!, wow I'm so excited! Look I'm waving my nails at you! Really beyond satire.

And also living wife of boyphd bot's video on positive thinking. aka fake it til you make it. After doing some positive thinking someone bought some cream or something from her. Yes, it worked that well.

ScrewedUpLittleFace · 19/08/2017 21:57

I really don't need any help in the errrrr....bowels department. My tip is to get your gallbladder removed if you want everything to go through you like a dose of salts Blush

Oh there's a well known phenomenon of throwing good money after bad - isn't it called the sunk costs fallacy or something? Off to google.

I've just reported an ex Valentus now Xerveo Bot to the ASA claiming for that the coffee helps fIbromyalgia sufferers. These people boil my piss.

Jonsey32 · 19/08/2017 22:43

Oh god - just seen that and then all her cronies saying it's extensive research and it's true!!!

fitgirl26 · 19/08/2017 22:49

Yup and one of them is a lawyer (I've googled her and she is). That's one legal firm I'll be avoiding!

Jonsey32 · 19/08/2017 22:56

Haha but have u seen what she specialises in? Getting people off drink driving charges, speeding fines etc.
I have just also reported.

fitgirl26 · 19/08/2017 23:05

Oh yes I have indeed but I guess a lot of people will see the word "lawyer" and think she must know what she's talking about! They're actually very sneaky as they report scientific studies but don't actually disclose how much of the ingredient was used in the studies vs how much of the ingredient is in the coffee.

Jonsey32 · 19/08/2017 23:08

It makes me so bloody angry.
I'm wondering if I. Wed to step away from all this.... I swear to god it's taking over my life.
I feel such rage.
I'm looking at that postnatal now an I'm furious that people are tagging people in it, recommending it to others etc.
There's no talking sense to them. If we've both reported it, hopefully something will be done???

Jonsey32 · 19/08/2017 23:09
  • if I need to step away
Jonsey32 · 19/08/2017 23:10

I'm so angry I can't type properly...
Supposed to say post.... not postnatal!!!

TheRealBarnbot · 19/08/2017 23:12

I got sent an email from a "lawyer" that had been sent to an ex V rep. Needless to say we completely ripped it apart in about 10 minutes. With actual facts of course. My faith in the future of our legal representation hangs in the balance right now!! 😂

fitgirl26 · 19/08/2017 23:12

I was watching a Bot live yesterday and No 2 son said "MLM stuff again?" Shock I'm with you - I know I have a bit of a laugh on here but it makes me so angry too! I have friends who suffer from fibro who would probably grasp at any straws to make them feel better and these top Bots know that 😡

fitgirl26 · 19/08/2017 23:14

@TheRealBarnbot - indeed! Studying law doesn't make you immune to ripping people off with false health claims...

Jonsey32 · 19/08/2017 23:16

There are so many people commenting on it now saying it sounds amazing etc...
I can only assume they're all reps too?

BSintolerant · 20/08/2017 00:46

Is she a solicitor, barrister, or a plastic lawyer? A quick search on The Law Society Website will reveal all - it's more accurate than Mr Google. What would the Solicitors' Regulation Authority think of someone who is involved in a dodgy scheme which makes false claims? There's something in the Solicitors' Code of Conduct about acting with honesty and integrity.
